RIDE REVIEW I 2023 KAWASAKI NINJA ZX-4RR
P88
But they haven't disappeared
entirely.
Kawasaki made noise a
couple of years ago that they
intended to build a 21st-century
four-cylinder 400, and, what's
more, Kawasaki USA
intended to homolo
-
gate it and bring it to
America. Typically, we
are the last to get pretty much
every cool model from the major
manufacturers, but this time,
we've jumped the queue to the
front, and here it is. A bike teen
-
age me would have done very
questionable things to have it in
my garage.
The 2023 Kawasaki ZX-4RR
is a complete anomaly in mod-
ern sport biking. It's especially
confusing because Kawasaki has
a firm hold on the junior sport
bike market with their Ninja 400,
which has sold more than enough
across the globe to sink a couple
of the container ships on which
they left Japan.
The ZX-4RR is exceptionally nimble
with lots of feel on the front end.
