  • Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
  • Welcome to my channel! I'm looking to create high quality audio and visual POV rides exploring the great roads of CA. I'm out in my brand new with 300 miles on the odo ZX4RR. Unfortunately, the audio in this was all over the place. A combination of the auto gain of the Zoom and the location of the microphone going in and out of the wind made all kinds of varying sound levels. I'll grab a better sounding ride soon. Still a good run! Starts out with higher speed stuff and then a nice relaxed sprint through some forest area. I hope you enjoy the 16,000 rpm as much as I do!

    First POV video of actuall canyon riding using the revs and actually taking corners in "full" speed with the zx4rr? More of this!

    This is perfect counterpoint to the Zx6 similar price point argument, in my mind. The 6 I imagine you're going to be in 2nd and low revs this entire time. If you think about it, the 600 used to be a 2nd bike when the 250-400 was outgrown, but with tech advancements this 400 is similar in power to those early 600s. Problem is a lot of bikes are more powerful and cheaper with the twin 270 crank, so folks in US are starting bigger than ever before and missing out.

    • @rathmoto
      @rathmoto  11 місяців тому +9

      It's a valid question and I think the most honest answer I can give is that, to me, more power doesn't always mean more fun. And this bike I think best represents the "slow bikes fast" mentality and it just feels right. That and all that good 90's Japan nostalgia of small cc 4's.

      @@robertgiaquinto9256 if you've never ridden a 400/4 you don't/can't get it. They are just more fun. Yeah a 600 is faster, so is a litre and a ballistic missile is faster too, the speed of light etc.
      But to be able to use the bike's full potential and power all the time, is great.
      A lot of people fall into the "my mates have all got litre bikes, I'd better do as they say" mentality, rather than making their own mind's up after trying something different, it's not always about 200bhp and 200mph+

      I rode the bike home from the dealership then immediately put the full system and the tune on, so I didn’t get a lot of time with the bike in stock form. I can say it pulls hard through redline in the current state. The road is skags from Sonoma to the coast.
