75horse power is the same as my 1200cc triumph bobber! Lots of fun

This isn’t a beginner bike, it’s a great bike for a true enthusiast and ppl that have money to play around with

Love the video. This will be my first bike. Mid 30s with a CDL and driving stick my whole life, so i think i should be ok to handle a fun machine like this, lol. Sick of trading in the sports cars every year because the ones in my price range really aren't that exciting for me anymore. I think this and the Suv should be more then enough for a family man. (Maybe the new Celica in a few years also 😈)

Agree! Because of the steps a beginner can go through on this bike makes this a done deal. Three different power modes with various stages of traction control. Start off in Rain, and work can work their way up to Sport. The ability to go from manual shift to learning to use the KQS. Suspension, which is probably the most overlooked category when it comes learning to ride. To my knowledge, the only small displacement with fully adjustable suspension is the KTM. So even though the front on this is only preload adjustable, the rear is full, giving a beginner just another category you can check off. Lastly, for when you (as a beginner) are ready for more power, to only have to spend between $250-350 for 50% more power is what puts the ZX4RR miles ahead of any other bike in this category. ESPECIALLY FOR BEGINNERS. And before anyone gets all silly about the Aprilia RS 457... quick shifter you have to get as an accessory, only preload adjustable front and rear, and takes a massive dump in 2nd gear.

Love to see it! That rip at the beginning reminded me of my Kymco Venox 250cc, could rev to 10, 000rpm and still be under the speed limit but sounded so good. And it was a carbureted bike, anyways. Way to go with the motorcycle content, ride safe and ride alot. Google or the internet is after my interest since I looked at a Ninja500 this afternoon, trying to get me into another machine.

I’ve had my motorcycle license for 40 years and I just got my 40th edition 2 weeks ago. I’m loving it and I appreciate your input. I’m looking forward to more of your videos

After our second child was born. My wife begged me one day after coming home on my motorcycle to sell it. She had tears in her eyes when she said.
" I can't raise these babies alone". I was pretty mad about it. Her fears were not unfounded. What does a man do?

We all make our own choices. My last sports bike was a 2003 Kawasaki ZX-9R (simply awesome in so many ways) that came with a Yoshimura slip on. I dumped it to go back to a 49 state titanium OEM pipe which was much quieter. That bike with 125hp (minimum) at the rear wheel obviously still had plenty of go.

You love it! I love how the rear cleans up! ❤️

My first bike was a 20010 Kowi Vulcan 500. Had the Ninja 500 engine. Ok first bike. Plenty of power for a beginner. After a couple of yrs bought an Indian Scout. That was a nice machine, and fast. 0-60 in 3.8 and top speed of faster than I ever needed to go. Easy to blow off a lot of Harleys. Only paid 8K for it like now condition. 5 yrs and 13K miles more and sold it for the same price. Yeah a street bike but a nice one. I like a lower seat and upright position. I took the baffles out of that too. Nice!

Visceral. That’s what this bike is all about. A visceral experience!

Thank you for being on point, well spoken and clear(no little girl screams and squirrels). You earned a sub! Anyone reading this can answer! Question 1) Compared to an Aprilia are these Kaws easier to get parts for? Question 2) If I get one of these and want the ecu flashed to unlock it( it has stock exhaust), do I have to re flash it when I'm ready to get a new exhaust?

The Ninja name for me is iconic, back when Kawasaki first came out with a Sports Bike with the name Ninja, I've always looked at the Ninja bikes as the coolest sport bikes.

I think for me the Ninja 500 would be more of a beginner bike, it's cheaper and lighter than the ZX4rr which is more expensive, but obviously awesome with that 4 cylinder engine.

price aside i think its a fantastic beginner bike. as you're starting off you keep the rpm down and get more comfortable a skilled. as you're skill goes you run more RPM. as you learn and make a mistake and goose it by acedent nothings gonna happen. it takes off super easy, everything works very well.

your front forks might be just right but changing the fork oil (got to be a YouTuber) to a heavier weight is a first upgrade. I changed my stock pipe too first thing on my 82 CBX! I know what you mean about never getting tired of the sound. As Erick Von Zipper always said, "LET's RIDE!"

Definitely agree it could be a beginner bike but you would still have to be pretty careful with it. especially the brakes. If you panic brake it could get you in trouble (brakes are strong).
It is almost 2 bikes it one. Very tame below 10krpm but pretty lively and fun above that (mine is flashed).

Great video thanks. Is all about the sound, feel and fun. I am really liking this zx4rr. I had no issues going from a hayabusa to a Z125pro because is so much fun riding that little bike always on the red limiter. I wish the R1 would go back to the inline 4 just for the sound.

I haven't had a bike for many years but i mourn the loss of high reving 4 cylinder bikes at the lower end of the market. The sounds and fun of being at 10 000 rpm is great.

I don't think it's a good beginner bike, for anyone's first bike it should be cheap and used.
I do believe the ZX-4RR is the best first "Supersport" motorcycle 🏍 because the riding Dynamics are not as Extreme as the ZX6R or 10r so the riding position is quite comfortable, and the power is very manageable for a first-time Super Sport Rider.
Kirk you hit the nail on the head my friend.
The sound of a motorcycle to me us just as important as the looks, and this motorcycle sounds and looks amazing, which is why I would never get the ninja 400 or 500 they don't sound good at all.
Secondly, I like the fact that this motorcycle does not have huge amounts of power because that would either get me arrested or killed or both.
I love the fact that you can ride this and experience the bike, going up and down the gears and revving it out while doing legal speed limits.
Enjoy.
