Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR 40th Anniversary Edition 2024

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR proves to be an impressive sporty bike that will particularly delight lovers of high-revving four-cylinder engines. With its distinctive sound and excellent braking performance, it offers a riding experience that is convincing both on the road and on the race track. The sporty ergonomics and precise handling make it a good choice for beginners and smaller riders looking for a super sports bike suitable for everyday use. However, the engine requires high revs, which can be tiring on longer journeys, and the display looks a little outdated compared to modern standards. Overall, the ZX-4RR offers a lot of riding pleasure and is a welcome addition to the small-volume supersports segment.

Kawasaki Ninja 650 2023

To judge the Kawasaki Ninja 650 purely on its paper form would be a serious mistake. The two-day test showed once again that performance data carries more weight at the pub table than in the wild. Kawa's sports tourer does exactly what it is supposed to and, thanks to the constant revision and the new features added for 2023, is still an enrichment for the class. Only hobby racers should be warned, as the name Ninja still stirs up a certain expectation that the 650 does not fully meet.
