I haven't been on a bike since 2009. This may be what gets me back into riding again. Such a cool bike.
-
As you say, it is an investment coz of it's uniqueness there will always be a ton of people wanting to buy one secondhand, and if you can manage the extra for 40th Anniversary Paint ,thats a future classic right out the crate. In the UK it's available in 2 KRT colours , green or black, and the 40th Anniversary Paint green/white/blue.

Pretty sure it’s common knowledge by now that it’s tuned to 50ish horsepower for America and Canada. Ecu flash can fix it but as someone who owns the bike I can attest that over 11k RPM it stops pulling. I figured you would notice that on a track. It’s blatantly obvious.

That track footage looks fun. A little high revving bike must be pretty darn fun on a track.
-
I ride a 125cc few years and now recently i went to this one the zx4rr but here its 80 hp. Coming from 125 cc this feels verry fast and fun indeed. I have 100 km on the bike now its stil brand new 😂
-
I'm loving mine. This bike is a good beginner bike and a bike that I don't think you would ever grow out of.
-
GREAT Review 🎉
-
I got mine late in May. Put on 2000km and took it to the track this past weekend. Bumpy track, so the forks certainly show their "budgetness". But it's definitely still a fun bike. Mine's staying on the street, but I'll take it to the occasional track session for sure. I'd like to sort out the suspension though before pushing it.

jokes on them i ordered one for my first bike should be ready in a week or 2 got it in black im so excited
-
So glad we are at the track again, Love these video's ... Thanks Alex😁.....Have a beautiful day Everyone ✌️
-
Remember those back in the days 400s.... The Bandit and FZR 400s were cool rippers, but weren't too popular. 600s were generally the smallest most guys wanted ( myself included )... Looks like a great trackday ripper.
-
Great review man! Love this bike.
-
Thunderhill is an amazing technical track. I miss doing track days there
-
Maybe this is the bike for a new series where Alex teaches Case to race (hope that's not insulting to Case, thought I heard him say he hasn't done any racing). Great video Alex - your enjoyment definitely came through.
-
Definitely THE bike of the year!. Really like to see the late 90's early 2000 400cc class make a huge come back. They make a lot of cost effective sense & are fun as hell!. The NC35 25-30 yrs later still looks far nicer than most bikes today!.
-
Great video. I will likely buy one in a few months.
-
Yammie noob took a flashed ZXRR (with 75whp) along with fitting the ZX4RR with proper tires, and track timed it against a Ninja 400. He and pro rider both clocked lower lap times with the Ninja 400!! They both said it was weight and torque holding the ZX4RR back. They also mention too much weight, too high up, in the front of the bike.
-
I love the ZX-4RR!! But as always not all bikes are perfect, the only thing I dislike about the 4RR are the frame, why not to make it a twin spar aluminum frame, the front forks have limited adjustability, the seat height is a little lower and the handlebars, its still a bit high, otherwise its a great bike!!!
-
Well Kawasaki's motto is "Let the good times roll..."😂😂 I just sold a '91 CBR400RR for £2100 last year. A Test Ride on this bike is a must for everyone who loved a 250 or 400 from the '90's.

Track with small displacement is some of the most fun ever
