RIDE REVIEW I 2023 KAWASAKI NINJA ZX-4RR
P94
The chassis provides a silky-smooth
ride that handles rough potholed roads
surprisingly well, but the real star of the
game is that engine.
Like a teenager listening to Rage
Against the Machine, the energy this
little engine exudes is boundless. With
16,000 rpm to play with, you owe it to
yourself to hold gears a while longer
and just let the little 400 scream its
lungs out between turns.
I know this fun can only last so long,
so there's got to be some performance
on offer, which there is. As expected,
there's not a lot below 6000 rpm, but
the internals are so light that it'll rip
Check this thing out!
Chuck Graves has
been hard at work
building race kit parts
for the ZX-4RR. Rumor
has it it's got over 80
horsepower at the tire,
with more to come.
(Below L-R) The
4.3-inch dash
lets you use the
Kawasaki Rideology
app for all the
usual stuff like
navigation, phone
calls, etc. Yes, it's
a big muffler, but
it doesn't look too
bad in the metal.
