The ZX-4RR has the potential to reinvigorate the sportbike market, providing a gateway to high-level performance in a package that is both tamable and attainable. Its power naturally pales in comparison to a fire-breathing ZX-10R or even a ZX-6R, but the 124 mph shown on its speedometer at the end of Thunderhill Raceways front straight demonstrates its potential for speed. The 400cc sportbike market raged in the 1990s, with high-end race replicas from every Japanese OEM available in their domestic markets. American importers were skeptical that these pricey little bikes would find much appeal to riders on our shores, but Yamaha took a chance and offered its FZR400, which earned a reputation as one of the best-handling bikes of its era. The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR was primarily developed for Asian markets that have licensing and insurance regulations to encourage the use of smaller-displacement motorcycles. Just as Yamaha took a chance in the U.S. market with the lovable FZR400, Kawasaki is doing the same with this latest Ninja.
A common attitude about small-displacement sportbikes in bigger-is-better America has been that were not much interested in them, but the U.S. market is evolving. Kawasaki tells us that uptake on the 4RR has been strong at the dealer level thanks to the bikes unique selling proposition.
Part of the Kawis distinctiveness is its ability to rev up to a stratospheric 16,000-rpm redline, which is higher than any engine offered in the USA aside from the Ducati Panigale V4Rs 16,500-rpm rev ceiling. The 4RR uses a more oversquare bore and stroke (57.0 x 39.1mm) than the FZR400 to safely achieve those lofty revs, along with forged camshafts and triple-rate valve springs. The effort required to use the bikes slip/assist clutch feels impossibly light, and both hand levers are adjustable over five positions to suit hands of any size. The 4.3-inch TFT features a Circuit Mode for lap timing and to display track-related information in an easier-to-view layout. Kawasakis Rideology app can connect the bike to smartphones. This bike is mostly a stock example except for the sweeet sounding Carbon Graves Pipe. The Graves pipe is a $630.00 add on that is in beautiful condition and sounds amazing. It fully completes the look and the sound of the ZX4rr. This bike like all our bikes will be fully serviced, inspected and detailed at the time you take delivery.
