    I owned a 2021 MT07. I traded it in on the ZX4RR. I guess people would say that I was nuts. I wanted an inline 4 before buying the MT07 but I didn't want a ZX6R and the ZX4RR wasn't out yet. I was always thinking how a Ninja 400 would feel like in the curves that I ride. I was reluctant to get the ZX4RR. I passed up on a couple of them until one day I just couldn't stand it any more. I wanted an inline 4 so bad I bought the third one I sat on. I am so glad I did. Love this bike.

    You have some good points on the ZX4RR. The sound and the up and down quick shifter are the two biggest things for me. The biggest cons: the price and the lack of adjustable suspension. You can at least fit the R7 to your weight. The price is cheaper than the Kawasaki too with the suspension. Plus it has more HP and torque. Something you have to re-flash and get a full exhaust for ZX4RR to release its full potential. I have the Ninja 400 and for the price, I would take it all day over the ZX4RR. With the extra money, you could fully prep it out and make it just as fun. Yeah the down auto blip shifts would not happen but still...I think I would take the Aprillia RS 660 over both of them because of the complete package it is for just a couple grand more!
    Have I ridden an R7, RS660 or ZX4RR no so what the hell do I know, lol! Thats what we have you for!! Thanks for showing us!

    • @moton8tion866
      @moton8tion866 Před rokem +5

      You bring up some good points. However, yes, the suspension is adjustable on the R7, the issue is that its bottom of the bin yamaha parts. No matter how much adjustment you did, it never responded. The r7 is not a bad bike, it just needs major improvement and leaves you wanting more. 😉 Yamaha could have done it better than they did.

    • @ScoutsOut
      @ScoutsOut  Před rokem +3

      Haha yea I love my 660 I just don't love its maintenance requirements. And man the n400 is still a really good bike I agree with you on that, I loved mine and tracked it soo good! But really it's the sound and qs that just make it so intoxicating to ride.

    • @EfferusZangetsu
      @EfferusZangetsu Před 11 měsíci +4

      What, lack of adjustable suspension? It has adjustable suspension both in the rear and in the front. It has the same rear shock as the ZX10R. You got something mixed up.

    • @ScoutsOut
      @ScoutsOut  Před 11 měsíci +3

      The adjustment on the front fork is minimal, I had it at the track last weekend and had it adjusted throughout the day. Even the suspension guy said it only has one real adjustment for the forks and they basically suck. The rear shock however is nice

      It’s all about rpms on the 4rr, at 10k (after restriction is removed) it really gets moving. As long as I drop two gears it’s got plenty of passing power. I needed to drop two on my zx6r to get good passing power too

    @tortuga34 Před rokem +17

    Thanks for your compassion on these two bikes. I was stuck between these two but ultimately chose the 4rr for the engine sound. Id still love to have an R7, the white with red wheels looks soo good. I literally just take it to work on nice days, so hardcore track features dont matter to me as much as someone who will track the bike. Also, power and top speed are also not my priority, otherwise id have a zx6r in my garage. Thanks again scout!

    This is the type of reviews we need more of. Yours is Fair and unbiased since you own both. I say anything bad about the R7 I get branded a hater, and I owned one. 😂. I agree with all you said. I did look into the wheelbase statement, the R1 is 55.3, the R7 is 54.9😮, the R6 54.1. Zx4rr 54.3. The zx should definitely turn in better. My r1 feels like a pig compared to my r6 which is why the r6 is more fun to ride. Yes the quickshifter is garbage on the R7, clutchless shifting was smoother. The torque down low on the r7 is great for city riding but was boring and you quickly run out of steam, I would take high reving over lower torque any day.
    My question for you, when is the r7 being sold? You sound giddy about the zx and you have the tuano..

    • @ScoutsOut
      @ScoutsOut  Před rokem +1

      Ohh dang I didn't realize the r6 was the shortest, that explains a lot. The r6 was always the bike I wanted and it just never worked out over the years, so annoying they don't sell them anymore.
      As for selling the r7 I'm still not sold on getting ride of it. I have been riding the 4rr the most lately and had it down in the shop for installs for a week and a half. I rode the r7 for that time and I remembered how much I enjoy it so I'm really not sold on the 4rr being better yet

      If you don't spend time on the highway as much, then the R7 or the ZX4RR is a great bike. If you spend more on highways, just opt for the ZX6R. But if you are a new rider and can't opt for the ZX6R (too big of a bike) then the ZX4RR is plenty to train you. Especially, after a ECU tune/flash, it is almost close to the ZX6R stock.

    Its not jut wheelbase that effects turn in, fork height does too, try raising the fork height on your r7 so they protrude above the top yoke and see how that feels, I've done that on many of my bikes to great success, I owned a cbr954 that handled ok stock, but I raised the forks by 10mm and put a 2mm washer between the top of the shock and the frame which raised the rear by about 9mm, and after that it handled amazingly, it basically felt like my old zxr400, just heavier, it felt a bit twitchy though, so I installed a steering damper.
    I also did something similar to my old rvf400, and tl1000s, which transformed how they handled too, the tl1000s was very sensitive to fork height for some reason, 10mm was way to much, it actually felt worse, 2mm was the sweet spot, it may require trial and error.

      rake trail tire size and profile and brand, many things affect handling. Where bike carries weight how high or low center of gravity is suspension settings, air pressures spring rates etc, it takes a guru and yrs of experience to tune suspension and stuff to make bikes handle good and depends big time on riders size weight and style of riding.

      okay it is 360 degree! That's crazy but as an old photographer from the 70's I have to stretch my mind on that. In 1967. I was 13 and went to the "Worlds' Fair" in Montreal. That was famous.. They had a lot of strange theaters. One of which was 360 degrees around the large auditorium. That was fun as a kid.

    One thing I haven't heard or read about is the difference in the cost of insurance between the two bikes. I'm trying to decide between these two bikes as my upgrade from the grom.

      lol cheesy joke, both are good bikes and better that your looking at them over a zx6r as your first bike. My suggestion if track riding and learning how to ride in general, you would be better suited to learn on a cheaper easy to ride and an amazing track bike to learn on is a ninja 400. Once you start doing track days you will realize you can learn so much more on the n400 that a bigger bike. You will be amazed at how many people will be out there on the track with ninja 400s and they will be destroying even decent riders on bigger bikes. Just my 2 cents

As for the sound and feel it’s really hard to compare a twin to an inline 4. The sound of the 660 is really good and exhilarating but you cannot beat that inline 4 sound. The main issue with the 4rr is the heavy decrease in power when stock is painful. I did bower make videos on removtthe restriction and it’s much better but really until you get real mods the 660 is still faster without mods at least from a feeling perspective. Hope this helps

      R7 and zx4rr weigh literally the same. While the zx4rr has more hp (unrestricted), the r7 does have more torque. However, zx4rr has better electronics, suspension, ergos, sound. They're not even in the same category, the R7 is more like a grown up R3, a sport bike. The zx4rr is like a smaller zx6r, a supersport. You said "much less power" without providing any numbers when the zx4rr actually has more hp, so better top end. I don't know if you're ignorant by choice or by choice cuz a simple google search would give you your answer.
