We ride the $26,000 Graves Motorsports Kawasaki ZX-4RR! - Cycle News

This would honestly be a better buy for 90% of the people who buy R1M's & V4S's

Now that's how a small bike is suppose to sound :D

Kudos to Chuck for building it, then letting Rennie out for a right good flog!

Graves is a great company, they built my race bikes in the early 2000’s. I miss my days racing, that’s for sure.

Nice vid, very cool. In terms of pure fun, this ZX4RR appeals to me so much more than a 1000cc supersport bike (which I have owned previously). You can actually use most of it most of the time instead of tiptoeing about on it or hanging on for dear life.

This made me smile. Well done Team Green & Graves Racing.

My god, best lookin Zx4RR ive ever seen!

That thing sounds unbelievable. I'd argue riding that thing at 340lbs has got to be one of the most rewarding experiences on a track Thanks for sharing, brilliant stuff from the Graves team

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. Thanks to Chuck Graves/Graves Racing and Cycle News!

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

Such a big fan of this bike as well as the ZX-25RR, to think a 250 and 400 sound like mean bastards screaming down the street is absolute insane. Couple that with just a ridiculous red line and they're just an absolute blast to ride.

Wow the grave’s race bike sounds MEAN!! looks like a blast to ride

I don't know how often I watched this video but this is the benchmark zx4rr for sure.

I remember riding my buddy's 1990 FZR400R for the first time on the Big track at Willow Springs, one of the best handling bike's of it's time. All of the Japanese manufacturers need to bring 400cc SuperSport bike back to the USA.:face-fuchsia-wide-eyes:

A full exhaust and ecu flash is a must on new Kawasaki sport bikes if you want your moneys worth - most of the Kawasaki sportbikes come with a 15% power restriction

The inline four 400cc supersport is back? Welcome, I say.

These are the first ZX-4RRs I've ever heard that on the upper rev range have growly, low harmonic overtones pitched a few octaves lower, reminding me of the Ducati Panigale V4 engines.😅 Sounds addictive. In person it has to be sensational!

You had that thing screaming. It sounded amazing

Wow I haven't seen Chucky since I think Formula USA days at Willow. We have aged.

Graves. The Kindig of bikes!
