if you're not pro racer brandon and you are buying a certain experience, a manageable track bike that you can learn on, with a special sound with power that won't kill you, i think that zx4rr is still for you.

But then it could equally be argued if you are not experienced and you're looking for something to learn on and hone your skills, a much cheaper and lighter Ninja 400 makes a lot more sense. But if you truly just want that i4 experience of revs and sound, yea I can see why one would pick the 4R instead.

@@Critz-BW thank u for repeating the obvious and giving me a headache. whyd you even type all that out just to walk it back at the end. yeah, it's a lot of money, with only one unique selling point. if you don't care abt that one selling point, it's too much money. if you do, it's good. we already know that. it won't be that expensive forever, and in my country you can get secondhand i4 400s for dirt cheap all day anyways. you can probably even import some of them for not that much to the US too, since they're getting to 25 years old now. it's just nice to have a new one. the unique experience being that you can thrash it on the street and hear a scream from the exhaust without going to jail. that's a good thing that a lot people will pay for, but it's okay if you won't.

[@MotoJournoKris]

Not surprising the race-prepped bike is so much better from the rider perspective, even as a noob I had the opportunity to test a stock R3 vs a race prepped bike years ago and it was night and day. The stock bike felt like a whale in comparison, suspension and brake differences were enormous. What do you reckon the weight difference could be between the two? 40 kg?

[@CyberChrist]

You forget tyres.

[@gilbertlindsay3507]

Also the 4RR has limited air flow wise by butterflies that restrict air flow at around 11,000rpm I believe. This bike is limited because of EPA standards, it has been said that this bike (ZX4RR) is capable of over 90hp unrestricted and tuned with the right exhaust etc. I hope Kawi sells the hell out of this bike and has model options for years to come. I was going to have an old in-line 4 small bore imported hear from abroad but now I won’t have to. This bike idles smoother than the parallel twins that ppl are claiming are better, it sounds like a man’s bike. It’s a stepping stone from the Ninja 400 to bigger bikes like the ZX-6R. Seeing how Honda is bitching out for a 750 parallel twin to eventually replace the CBR600R the 4RR is a refreshing alternative. Off soapbox.

[@massivemikeh]

90hp from 400cc is crazy! If they ever get that much power from it, it will be peaky as fark with no torque at all down low.

Love my new 24 4RR. After a full exhaust and flash tune, it's a completely different bike! 79hp 400 inline 4 with that badassed engine symphony.... yeah it's a win! Fwiw, I have a 23 N400 as well. Sure the 4RR isn't as fast as my 24 ZX6R but it's a very special bike in a class, basically by itself! Thanks Kawasaki!

[@tbsbattousai]

The ninja 400 suspension (that's fully dialled in for you guys) can easily account for the difference. unless it's two stock bikes out of the showroom this is not even a close "stock-to-stock" ride, who are you kidding.... (posted @6:05 so in a few minutes I could be eating these words)...

Alright, so 1. Isn't the inline 4 and a little plus in performance the exact reason you would want to buy the Zx4? ;) 2. Your emotional expression when first trying the bike a few weeks ago spoke more than 1000 words. - Its a comfy little racer that goes madly insane on the road and screams like no other 400. Since motorcycling is all about emotions, this bike does it all without any upgrades and gets close to a fully modified 400 on track. Thats some fine ass bike boi

[@BishvendraSingh]

Ninja 400 is quicker because it's twin and deliver power earlier than Zx4RR which could be fast at a longer stretch but definitely not quicker.

[@SHSPVR]

yes it as has low end torque which all in with Ninja 400 at 8,500 rpm where ZX-4RR it is at 11,000 rpm and I agree with you

[@JoseLgamer05]

The only gripe I hold against the zx4 is the price, for a little more you can get a zx6, otherwise seems like a good bike tho, if would be priced more aggressively. The ninja 400 is also nice, really depends what you are out for in a bike, do you want something more all round ninja 400 is the way to go, or do you want something more sport focused, go with the zx4, The ninja (number) line tends to be more chill anyway, and the zx(something) line tends to focus more on the sport aspect. The zx4 truly is on a class of its own, would like to see other manufacturers jump on that boat.

Your back to back review is super useful as in isolation it doesn't feel many "professional" reviewers are catching these limitations of the stock zx4.

Because torque is nearly identical, easily explains why the 4rr doesn't pull ahead until 4th...so if most of the track is done with an average speed of 80 - 85 mph (a 2.7 mi track done in 2min 10 to 15 sec- ish, the math checks out for that...)

You get a lighter, better handling bike for the cost of a stock RR. To get the RR to the track prep equivalent you are way over budget. Then, as you said, you have to put it up against R7's, V2's and the like where I think it would fall short.

Not a surprise at all that a race prepped bike with better brakes and suspension can run faster lap times. The biggest time issue for bikes is in the corners where most of the speed from the straights is lost. Better brakes and suspension allows for faster times through the corners, and, therefore, faster lap times. ZX4RR is the faster bike and would crush the 400 if track prepped.

the difference is the weight difference between these to bikes is very big !! the laptimes will be very difference if the zx4rr has the same done as the ninja 400

[@nickb9563]

Are the q5's on the zx4rr mounted backwards in the beginning of the video? Every picture I see of them are rotated the other way

[@MightyMouzMoto]

All the video you showed at the start was of the 400 trailing and unable to overtake.

[@MightyMouzMoto]

I'm a total noob, only been riding about 3 yrs and I've never ridden a sport bike, but I don't understand criticizing a more precise throttle. In general, u just have to adapt to a different bike. Just learn to get off the throttle completely instead of wishing for a limp throttle.

[@nirajtanti8618]

Isn't this a comparison between Bodybuilder and Strength Trainer kinda thing???

[@BenLaden88]

On smaller tracks the z400 will definitively have advantage….rev range is much higher and needs more stretches….

[@JPspinFPV]

For a street bike in this price category I think I'd have to choose the R7, maybe add a turbski...

[@EZBlast]

Love the gp shift sticker!!!!

[@randallfender96]

Barely a race bike my a$$. Built forks, shock, pipe, flashed, race bodywork, slicks. Probably has the best of everything allowed for the class.

[@tb146]

please make both bike in similar condition, Ninja 400 already using Free Flow Exhaust, blind head lamp and brake upgrade while zx4rr still in stock.

[@therealfakecaptain7978]

The ZX-4RR is 9600€ where I live. For 400€ more I can have a R7, for 2800€ less I can have a Ninja 400. Sorry Kawi but that's a pretty big no-no.

[@jomunoz]

Still sounds better that an R7 and a ninja 400, I guess that appeals to some people.

[@hyprmetlfan123]

Correct title : WSSP spec Ninja 400 vs stock ZX 4RR

[@Motoplugg]

Zx4rr is definitely more of a street Rossi bike

[@lawless911sc]

After only being on the market a few months, I have to wonder if the full potential of that RR is even being scratched. Sure you can gain 20+ HP with a 'flash' but what is on that flash? Can't it be improved? Couldn't someone change the dead zone for the throttle? Couldn't someone add brake levers with better feel and lighten the RR as well? Apparently that would be more expensive than the same effort on the Ninja 400, but what are we talking about here? Total performance potential or performance per dollar?

[@CyberChrist]

We're talking about slicks versus road tyres...

[@lawless911sc]

@@CyberChrist Way to pay attention. Both have slicks, so there is no comparison between road tires and slicks. It was a comparison between a well groomed Ninja 400 on slicks (including modifications to the brakes and suspension and race plastic for the fairings) and a 400RR with a flash and slicks and nothing else. IF there was a comparison of slicks vs. road tires that I missed ... drop a time stamp or forever hold your piece.

[@CyberChrist]

@@lawless911sc Oh, I don't know, how about 00:00 ? The RR Has Q5s, the N4 has a slick front and DOT rear.

[@lawless911sc]

@@CyberChristDunlop Q5s are DOT tires…”we thought this was the most fair comparison.”

[@CyberChrist]

@@lawless911sc There must've been a part of "slick" you missed ;) A fair comparison starts with the same tyres, plain and simple.

[@Bruhecc]

I feel bad for the guy who said “I bought a ZX4rr because of your videos” and you responded very positively… then dropped this video

[@CyberChrist]

Tyres and modified fork made the comparison invalid.

[@ΚωνσταντίνοςΓκέκας]

Amazing, what exhaust does the ninja 400 have?

[@justaregularperson1143]

That exhaust on the zx4 weighs like 13-16lbs not including the headers. Maybe a slip on could help the bike feel more nimble?

[@LHORD4233]

yammie, can you compare this 2 bikes for daily ride if you can daily a zx4rr.. because i know the ninja 400 you can.. just wanna know in your perspective as a rider..

[@donm6578]

Front tires on backwards. Not that it matters much in dry conditions

[@johngibbles477]

Bike built for the track vs bike built for the street but you didn't test both of them on street.....not exactly fair

[@pablojbressan2260]

Thank you 👍

[@lightweight3908]

Wait, so an ultra-lightweight class leading Ninja 400 comparing it to a bone stock ZX4RR? Seems about right.
