You got your scoring completely wrong on this motorcycle my friend, the dope factor for this bike is off the charts. The ZX-4RR has a huge desirability factor. No other manufacturer out there makes a 400 series motorcycle with a sky high revving inline 4 cylinder engine, NONE, NADA, ZERO. This bike will definitely hold its value, and undoubtedly appreciate over time. You have to turn the quick shifter on, it's in the menu you have to push two buttons.
I love that they built this. It's not the most logical bike, it's not the fastest bike, it's not the most reasonable daily ride, but it's fun. I hope they sell a ton of them
US restrictions heavily make this bike worse. My friend got one here in Brazil and it has 80HP with RAM air. We regularly ride together, me with my Trident 660 and him with this new machine.
I've ridden one and it's a fantastic machine in my opinion. That said the price is absolutely not justified. There are so many other better bikes you can purchase for that money. This bike should have been priced around the $8000-$8500 level.
Kawasaki tends to be a bit more expensive than its Japanese rivals for sure. Similar bike from Yamaha or Honda would probably be in the same range (that is if they made something similar to this). Thanks for watching!
No, I dont think its worth the price tag but I bought one anyway!😅 seriously tho, you can get a "faster" new bike for a bit more. For a used bike at that price range there is soo much out there. What I think people dont realize is this bike is not a "bang for buck" bike. Its a niche bike and you buy it for what it is, not because its a good value. Who else is selling a 4 cyl 400 is the USA? Thanks for the review!
It’s an amazing bike. Friend has one and it’s a blast to ride. I didn’t think it was worth the money they asking. But after riding it, totally understand. And that’s before the tune. After the tune, this thing going to be even more fun. Also one of the best sounding bikes.
this thing was modded down to 30HP and sold for 14K USD in my country. All 600 of them sold within 10 mins when the sales went alive and another 300+ back order in next 15 mins... So totally worth it I guess
@@emadreviewsit’s a bike, not a fuckin stock. There’s not a ton of “research” required to know what you’re buying. It’s clearly hype as well as research. People want these characteristics on a bike that won’t kill them. Simple. Still very low inventory on these
This is a insane screamer. Understand its not a zx65 or ninja 400. if you cant enjoy the bike that means it may be bit out of your riding level it is a supersport made really for the track. Don't be afraid to stay on the pipes !! some people never rode 2 strokes and it shows
Sensionalized and quite a lot of perversion of what really was (IMHO anyway having grown up back in the day) I feel like a lot of these will end up as track weaopns for 400cc class...maybe some as a two wheel Miata as opposed to a heavier (mayne depending) liter bike which is also intimidating to run those at high rpm where the 400 is more in the rhelm of mere mortals
BTW obviously shamelessly mimicking Doug Demuro's cadence and exuberence/style ....which yeah several others are also trying for that but at least you do a better job than some others imo
No. For 10k you can get better bikes, twin or not. The only saving grace is INLINE 4 INLINE 4. Unless you have money to burn there are other bikes for 10k that offer way more. You say it's cost effective? That's just wrong. Your best bang for buck is STILL the ninja 400 and even moreso now the ninja 500.
You obviously don't understand this bike. No other company has the balls to make an inline 4-cylinder 400 series motorcycle today. This bike revs to 16,000 RPM and sounds absolutely glorious, especially with an aftermarket slip-on exhaust, compared to the boring Ninja 400 & 500. Hopefully one day you'll get it. Picking up my 40th anniversary ZX-4RR in a few weeks. Also, this bike will definitely hold its value or probably appreciate in value due to the very limited production, compared to the dime a dozen ninja 400 and 500. They're going to stop making inline 4 cylinders very soon due to emissions regulations.
I feel like Kawasaki is more of a “sell fewer units but at a higher price” kind of business. The opposite of Honda that outnumbers sales figures but at a cheaper price per bike.

It is a pricepoint pig however considering the displacement and what is POSSIBLE...not to dis the bike just saying it's not top of line

dont worry, they do sell a lot of them. like ALOT
I daily mine & I feel like its very reasonable
One of the best reviews of the zx4rr out there, you explained the real things which matter to serious riders
Thanks for watching!

I agree. People definitely see something in it that it’s selling so fast and it’s never in stock! Thanks for watching!

Yep. Sales are through the roof. Not sure if it’s research based or simply a hyped up bike!

Hard to find a new one for sale.Very popular.
Can you review the gsx r1000r ? Really want to see that bike
Yes!!
7:26
I thought the RR only had adjustable preload on front forks, not fully adjustable front forks.
You are right. Fully adjusted rear shock and preload adjustment on the front forks.
@@emadreviews I think the RR should smdeserve fully adjustable front suspension as well.
Thanks for the video, your reviews are awesome!
@@chadwenchester528 that would be a welcomed feature for sure especially at this price point. Thanks for watching!
By default QS is turned off, press select and mode button together to activate
Thanks for the instructions!

yes.
I like the bike but I can’t justify 10,000$ for it personally. Nope.
Yeah could be a bit cheaper but alas. We can’t have it all. At least you get a solid bike for the money you spend.
@@emadreviews yeah I’d definitely be In it for 7500 or 8000. I do love me some kawi
Zx4r has qs as option
Unidirectional. But yes you are right.
@@emadreviews no, up and down
@@ninja1970fin aftermarket then? Or OEM?
@@emadreviews OEM
BTW obviously shamelessly mimicking Doug Demuro's cadence and exuberence/style ....which yeah several others are also trying for that but at least you do a better job than some others imo
I just dont understand why you would buy this vs just buying a zx6r for the same price
You can ride this on the road screaming at 16k rpm and still with manageable speeds which the zx6r can't do.
No. For 10k you can get better bikes, twin or not. The only saving grace is INLINE 4 INLINE 4. Unless you have money to burn there are other bikes for 10k that offer way more. You say it's cost effective? That's just wrong. Your best bang for buck is STILL the ninja 400 and even moreso now the ninja 500.
I’ll be reviewing the 500 next! Let’s see how it performs up against this bike overall. Thanks for watching!

After riding a N500 and looking up what aftermarket options are available to track it, I'm happy I chose my 4RR
Nope
No
Nice bike!
Pretty decent!
Buy a ZX6, buy an RS 660, buy a GSXR 600..... Spend your money wisely, this is a WASTE!!!
You can get a brand new Suzuki gsxs 750 for less than 10k 😅
I’ll review GSXRs soon! We’ll see
lol! Send me a link to the dealer that sells a new 2024 GSXR 750 for $10k. More like 13k with fees and tax! But I guess u can keep dreaming!
It should be priced about 7-8k, with the RS660 being in this bikes price range while the rs is better bike in everyway.
I feel like Kawasaki is more of a “sell fewer units but at a higher price” kind of business. The opposite of Honda that outnumbers sales figures but at a cheaper price per bike.
@emadreviews i feel like they should be putting better equipment on their bikes then, like how ducati's come loaded from the factory.
