    Bought a zx4r and I can honestly say it's the most fun I've ever had on two wheels. I've been riding nearly 30 years (20 on the street) and owned everything from R1s to Groms. The Zx-4s current stable mate is an 09 CBR-600RR, and the Zx-4r is the one I choose if I want to have fun.

    Reminds me of my test ride with a ZXR-400 twenty years ago. Didn't have the midrange to be a proper daily driver so I ended up with a 7RR and a RGV 250 for hooning around.
    Still a nice little bike. The airbox had a resonance at 8k and close to redline that gave you chills

    • @tw1st3d35
      @tw1st3d35 Рік тому

      Can confirm. I have a 1995 ZXR 400, restricted for european A2 license. Low range and mid range there is basically nothing but still plenty to get around our smaller european cities. Never had an issue. Above 8k-10k RPM that thing starts to scream and pull like crazy. I‘ve been in able to keep up with some better riders on bigger bikes on some real twisty roads. I‘m currently looking into doing a full rebuild and refresh of the bike. Looking to squeeze close to 90hp out of that tiny engine.

    • @protator
      @protator Рік тому +1

      @@tw1st3d35 Not so sure that hp figure is realistic. An acquaintance back in the day specialized in prepping RGV/RS 250 as well as ZXR and FZR 400s for track use. According to what he told back then: 75Hp if you want some form of reliability - and that's already going to cost you a ton of money - , 80 if you don't mind rebuilding the engine after every track event, and anything beyond that if you like sitting on a time bomb.
      I'd go for a 65 to 70-ish Hp street tune. The money necessary for that is going to be out of proportion already. Also, less weight trumps more hp. Give it a nice lightweight alu rear subframe, Kevlar bodywork etc and you'll have a mighty fine racer. I drove one of his fully prep'd RS250 race bikes in Oschersleben (ger) ... 70-somthing horses, practically weightless ... when that thing got serious at higher revs, my brain didn't know if I should feel like Rossi or shit my pants. Drove home on my 2-ton 7R. Thought it was broken at first^^.

    I wanted a ZX4, but could not find one local at a price I was willing to pay.
    I ended up with a 23 ZX10R.
    Silly fun bike!
    I have bought a few Go Fast parts from Graves for it.
    Rick has been awesome!
    My local dealer received a new 23 ZX4 (dealer swap), I was able to sit on it.
    There's a lot more room on the ZX4 than the ZX10.
    It actually feels more like the Z900RS in the seating position.
    If I could get a ZX4 I would set it up like Chuck's bike.
    I'll bet that thing is fun running up and down Encinal, Bouquet, Hwy 33...
    Awesome video.
    One thing, the metal throttle tube makes the ZX10 feel like a different bike!
    On the ZX10 the forward motion on the throttle shuts off the cruise control.
    I can live without that off-mode, you still have the brakes, clutch and shutting off the cruise control to turn off the cruise control.

    So the one with all the bells and whistles only makes 1 hp more then the one with just the flash / pipe / air filter ?. I get all the weight savings, I'm curious how the hp / tq curves in the map compare between the two in where it has shifted it's power band.

  • @operator0
    @operator0 5 місяців тому +2

    He says 79hp. Is that at the crank, or the wheel?. I ask because this bike makes 76hp at the crank in Europe. 79 at the wheels could be as much as 93 at the crank, which seems like a crazy amount just from a flash, exhaust and airbox mods. Also, it seems to me to be a little much to pull the motor off the bike and do an engine dyno with such minor mods. I'm not saying they didn't do it, but neither did he. Normally when giving wheel HP numbers, a tuner is reluctant to do the math for crank HP because it can very. So, this 79hp number he gives is confusing to me.

      500cc 4 cyl bikes are rare unless you got the rare FZR500 from the 90s. The bigger problem is finding somebody to manufacture the pistons and rods. My guess you can increase the bore for another 2mm, maybe 2.5mm max. That gets you close to 450cc. 450cc, full exhaust and a reflash will leave any 500cc bike in the dust.

    However, an unmodified RR in Canadian dollars is indicated at $11,000. Not $26,000! To judge the value of the bike with the modifications for the track you have to try it. Otherwise, to compare with other bikes you have to take the price at the dealership to make a good comparison with the others...

    All that money to get no better specific output per liter than the 1000s.
    A real 400cc modern screamer 4 would redline and make peak power 2-3000 rpm higher than any zx10 and be well above 200 hp per liter

      Unless I misheard him the zx10 is over 100 lbs heavier. At 4:58 I'm pretty sure he says its 341lbs, that's 70lbs off from the factory zx4 which seems wrong but maybe all the mods add up to that? but either way a stock zx4 is 414lbs and zx10 is 456

    I don't understand why these new 250 and 400cc bikes are almost twice the price of the 600cc Supersports that are superior due too an aluminum frame...
    Sure it's a fun bike, just not as good as the 600s we've had for the last 15 years.
