    I bought the zx4rr. It’s a little more than sound. The quick shifter, screen, and potential once flashed make it more fun than a 180 degree parallel twin. 4K is a lot, but you get a really unique bike that’s a ton of fun.

    Watched pulls with both these bikes, full bolt on Ninja 400 (exhaust, intake, velocity stacks, dyno tune) and exhaust/tuned ZX4RR. The Ninja 400 in a roll took it off the throttle every time, and the ZX4RR didn’t reel it in until about 90 mph on both rolls. At those higher speeds the ZX4RR showed its high RPM/high speed strengths after its been unrestricted… the Ninja is overall extremely impressive for such an inexpensive platform!

    I'm a returning rider after 30 years. My first bike was an FZR 600. Sweet bike back in the day. I chose the Ninja 400 because of the price point and because I need to relearn how to ride. Believe me, I compared the hell out of these two bikes, and I just could not see a reason to spend the extra cash plus the flash and the exhaust etc. I love my 400, it's awesome and perfect for me. More then likely I'll be trading it in for a bigger bike in a couple of years, or maybe I'll keep it. Only time will tell, but right now, I'm extremely happy with my decision. Oh, I got the black version as well. Ride safe! :)

I keep hoping my favorite Chinese Motorcycle company Kove will start selling Bikes here which would give us a 70hp 4 cylinder supersport that weighs closer to and costs about the same as the Ninja but if we can't even get Honda Hornets here I'm not going to hold my breath.

And I do not really feel the 4RR needs much power added, but have not put it on the line against anything as yet either. A track day may show the need. To and fro to work it’s a fine commuter. As is the 900RS, just heavy and I do not want to drop it. Ones for fun the other, Let the good times roll!!!

    @MrSoosas 10 місяців тому +7

    @Fortnine did a video that very well explains why the ZX4RR is tuned how it is for the north american market. Boils down to tailpipe emissions and noise regulations. If it is tuned up the bigger explosions at the same insane frequency mean a higher internal engine temp that ends up producing more bad emissions and (because bigger boom) more noise. I love how it sounds stock and really doubt the "need" for more power but I'm just a freak that likes small bikes anyway

  • @SupaStatic
    @SupaStatic 10 місяців тому +19

    This is coming from a new to the community, Daily Driver of a ZX4RR:
    The price point IS a deal breaker for most yes. And I understand that most people just getting into bikes are below my age, though I’m still in my 20s. Not everyone can afford it, but I lean towards the ZX4RR as a great beginner bike because it can be your one and done.
    Doing the math, I’d spend more money over time buying a bike I know I wouldn’t be 100% content with, and then upgrading to another bike later down the line.
    I personally didn’t like the sound of a dirt bike (lawnmower haha) so twin engines were not my first option.
    The ZX4R is smoother because of the 4 cylinders, and it’s beautiful because it’s heavier so you don’t get tossed around in the wind going highway speeds. Also, it’s nerfed for the American market because of regulations (sound and smog) not because Kawasaki decided it for the Shizz and Giggles.
    But you can pound through all the gears and still have fun, vs my guys on 600s that can’t go full beans before reaching even 4th gear.
    You learn to shift on more gears, you learn weight and resistance, if it scares you, ride in rain mode, then go to road and sport after.
    It’s a 400 so insurance was dirt cheap, and when you really become adept and you’re ready for more Power, you can flash and tune it, and you have ‘another’ bike. Kind of like 2 bikes in 1.
    It’s the best Daily one can have because there’s so much involved, but as a first time bike rider, this being my very first bike; It might be my last to be honest. It’s faster than you’d ever need (why want to go 180mph + ?), I can keep up with cruise meets very easily, it’s very ergonomic so you can ride for hours without tired arms or back, and it can be everything you want it to be. Has hooks on the bumper and frame so you literally can physically tie down backpacks/duffel bags for traveling or long journeys (something I’ve only ever seen one UA-camr talk about)
    What more could you want?
    The ZX4R is perfect because it’s fast enough for more than you’ll ever need, at mid triple digit speeds it’ll hesitate to let you know if that’s what you REALLY want to do, slow enough that you can bang 6 gears at 45 mph for a nice afternoon cruise, comfortable, and forgiving.
    The ZX4RR is perfect.

    • @Rx37Legacy
      @Rx37Legacy 10 місяців тому +3

  • @spencerd2156
    @spencerd2156 10 місяців тому +44

    I think we're missing the point of the ZX4RR. I will admit the American market de-tune is annoying and puts folks that love the concept, like me, on the defensive. BUT, to understand the bike you have to compare the twin 400 to the zx4RR properly tuned at ~75hp. It's a perfect jump from my current CBR500R on my way to something more. I'm in my mid 30s and just getting into riding the past few years. I really want a 4 cyl RR type bike, but I don't want a 115hp 600cc race replica after my simple 500 twin. The ZX4RR's I-4 engine is a perfect step on the way to I-4 600cc's for us that want to take our progression slowly. I used to look at bikes like this offered overseas and I was always curious. I think other riders like me exist in the US more and more.

    • @crash5811
      @crash5811 10 місяців тому +3

      I would say ur overthinking it. The zx6 will make less torque than the 500 throughout the rev range of the 500, but then it will start to grow power all the way out and it will keep u excited for a while, where i think the 4rr will b underwhelming after a few miles. U need to ride it hard to keep up w the 500 whereas w the 6r u dont. And when the 6 starts to excite ur butterflies u just close the throttle a little and ull b right as rain. But its ur choice, ride smart stay safe

      @@dankblissey6162 I can see that comparison. I went from an Integra GS-R to a 240SX with a too-big for me turbo. That jump in power/skill is why I'm a bit careful now that I'm older. I could've wrecked or gotten hurt. I still have my cbr500R and decided I wanted to finish my 10K mile goal before I make a decision. I have a track day event coming up later in the summer. I'd rather just get seat time in the bike I have. I'm just not as quick at this as driving. Maybe I'll never go bigger, and I'm okay with that.

    It isn't just about beginner riders and/or track days. I have been riding for over 20 years. In my jurisdiction, mandatory insurance on anything over 400 cc is stupid expensive (even if it's an A2 compliant rebel or something - doesn't matter - a Rebel 500 will cost the same to insure as a GSXR750, but a ZX4RR will cost the same as a 150 cc scooter). So I am riding a z400 (same bike as the ninja 400, less fairings). I love that little bike, and it gives up nothing to the larger bikes when we're out in the twisties. It's just a great bonus that It's already paid for itself vs what I used to pay to insure my VFR. But the extra power, ride modes, etc. of the ZX4RR calls to me - I have a deposit on a 2024. Sucks that you have to get 'em flashed to get the power it's supposed to have, but at least that option is available..

    I'm doing a return to motorcycles after several years. My Ninja 400 makes me IMPOSSIBLY happy. Yes, it lacks power (which you wouldn't really be getting with the RR either, not without that flash anyway...), but the thing is FUN to ride around! Very very light and agile, comfortable position, the sound has nothing on a bike with a good pipe... but to be honest, it's not bad, at WOT above 8000 it sounds pretty nice actually. Also the gearing makes it super fun, you can accelerate like a madman in first and second... and you're still at legal-ish speeds. If you were to just gun the first on a 1000 SS, you'd kill somebody XD
    I'm sure the RR is even more fun... but to be honest, the Ninja 400 is ENOUGH. If the price difference was slim, I'd say go for the RR. But given this price tag... I might get a Ninja 650 instead of the 400RR. The registration cost of a 650 is more though... I'd hesitate... In any case, I'm very happy with the Ninja 400. It's not out of the equation that I might put a lighter and breathier exhaust on it at some point to shed a few pounds and maybe gain a couple HPs.

My riding has improved I’ve learned how to lean and hug the tank with my leg. For 6k it’s the better package. Why spend 10k on something that’s so similar to the 4 but not as much fun? At that point might as well go the extra 2 for 600.

But then only three months ago i bought a 2017 Ducati 939 Supersport with only 2159 km on it for a good price. and i really love it. But in certain situations i love a smaller and lighter bike. Also a bike i can park somewhere without worrying as much about it. And just three days ago i came across a 2020 Ninja 400 for sale. It was first registered in Nov 2021. And looked like new with 288 km on it. At a really good price. And i couldnt resist buying it. On the smaller twisties it is just a joy to ride. And i am no beginner. I love both of my bikes. The Ninja 400 is a really nice bike. It doesnt have much low end power. But has no problem getting up to speed on the small canyons. And you can wip it around and have tons of fun on it.

That's what matters more than anything, a bike you feel comfortable on.

    I'm looking into getting a Ninja 400 next spring for fun and for my hour commute to work. It's mainly highway speeds 55-65 mph speed limits. Would it be better to get the zx4rr over the ninja 400 for a mainly highway commute or should I stick with the Ninja 400. P.s im a brand new rider still havent taking the course yet but planning on it soon.

    I am an experienced rider, I think a zx4rr would be an awesome bike. I like smaller displacement bikes because you get to use all the power on a regular basis, zx4rr seems like the ultimate version of that. My only complaint without ever riding it is weight, that bike should weigh well under 400lbs. 75hp at 16k RPM and 360lbs sounds like a machine that would motivate me to spend 10k.

    Flashing the ZX4RR to get the full 75hp out of it would void the warranty though, wouldn't it? Also, the frame on the ZX4RR being steel really increased the weight of it. Should've made it aluminum. Hope you can reply to my comment though, would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks man.

    • @SiliconDrifter

      KTM has too many maintenance issues. My first was an R3, it's pretty and reliable. You are going to replace it anyways and everyone has a Ninja 400. After moving to big bikes the speed difference between an R3 and a Ninja 400 will be like people arguing about how much faster their cheap jdm car is than another while you drive a Ferrari. It's irrelevant.

    In my opinion it makes no sense to buy the ZX4RR unless you just want to waste your money and look cool. The ninja 400 is such a superior and versatile motorcycle that comes at such a great value/price. I don't know of much motorcycles that can give you the value, performance, and ergonomics as the ninja 400. I bought mine last year brand new for less than $6K after taxes and registration, you can't beat that. The thing about this motorcycle is it can be used in so many different ways. It can be a starter bike or a performance racer. It can be a commuter to work or fun yet exciting work horse. I've mainly used mine for commuting and it hasn't failed or given me any issues yet. It just makes no sense to buy the ZX4RR at that price point, there are far better motorcycles at a better price point. You can pretty much buy two ninja 400s for the price of the ZX4RR.

    • @sleeper.simulant7327
      @sleeper.simulant7327 10 місяців тому

      Yamaha R7 is a better comparison. Price is (MSRP) $9,199 for the R7 and $9,699 for the ZX4RR. The ZX4RR has some nicer bits on it vs the R7, when both are tuned hp figures are very similar. R7 obviously has a major torque advantage, where I would assume the ZX4RR will do better at higher speeds once it’s wound to the pin. The XSR900 is $10,199, so the ZX4RR is priced right in between them…

I never understood back in around 20-4 when I first saw ninja 650 I think it was with a v motor and less cylinders …the whole thing for me growing up was the inline 4 high rpm of the ninja 600 and up …( I’m talking mid 80’s) and even the ninja 500 had inline 4 but us kids use to think of ‘‘em as the beginners bike because I had a maxim 750 that dusted the ninja 500 …till the back roads at least ,though not to,pat myself on the back I’d never lose sight of 500 and caught up often . But I digress … is it the rpm advantage that makes the zxrr faster ?
