Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR 40th Anniversary Edition 2024

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 However, the engine requires high revs, which can be tiring on longer journeys, and the display looks a little outdated compared to modern standards.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.
