Got this as a first bike. Feeling it out period was about 500 miles since my work commute is mostly highway, but once you feel it out it's a blast to fling around. Stock tuning wasn't noticeably bad at first, but now that I'm comfortable on it you feel it fall after 10.5k where they nanny it. I'm not a heavy dude but the rear shock settings were too soft from the factory so you may want to play with those a bit. The stock exhaust is a bit pathetic but luckily that's fixable. The TST full light kit/tail tidy is worth it. I got it because once I'm done modding it, I can wring it out and not get a "go directly to jail" card like I would on a zx-6r and it's more comfortable to ride. All in all, I'm extremely happy with it. For the "average rider", they're gonna be upset at the lack of torque. For an enthusiast rider and someone who like twisties, finding the right gear has never been a concern tbh. Might help I've driven manual cars on twisty roads for most of my driving career though.

Thanks for the detailed comment and welcome to motorcycling, the ZX-4RR is a great choice! Does the TST rear lamp have an auto blink brake light function?

Considering one for my first bike as well, for essentially the same reasons you stated; wring it out and not be going 600speeds. I'm completely fine with all bark and no bite on something reving like this. Same reason I bought a yxz vs all the other sxs's (which have much better power/suspension).

I own a ZX4RR KRT, this review is a solid 4/10. Its not for learners, dont be fooled by the low CC you can get yourself in trouble on this. Brakes are strong, like 1 finger is all I need for road riding. A learner panic breaking will get themselves is a big mess real quick. This is a track orientated bike, a second review would be welcomed once you've done a track day or 2 after you've got your run in and tune done. Stay safe and enjoy the summer (I'm down under and its got cold over here!) Edit for grammar

Thanks for the feedback. This is a first ride / initial impression type review. A full review will come after I've had more time on the bike.

Congrats on the new ride!

Thanks Brah !

The frame is black on my KRT. Great video! Wait until you get a Yoshi or Graves on it, it'll change how you ride that bike. I find myself spending more time wringing it out to redline. Neighbors don't really care for it! LOL

I think I meant 40th anniversary and I said KRT. :( Yoshi AT2 just went on and it's hitting 110db when I rev to 8k, the 'hood will hate it.

SC Project or Arrow exhaust for slip-on pipe!

Don't be mad, I went with the Yoshi slip-on :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/hZ57u8WFdKXdddo.htmlsi=lGxqJnpOrnXd7JDD

I’ve been looking at one to complement my Tenere after catching one on a demo truck last summer. 400/4s are my weakness. 😂

They would make a nice pair !

great ride good review but your "dislikes" - a green shock, abs decal and ram air decal was not really relevant to whether or not someone would buy one lol

I always thought from the side the New Ninja design reminds me of a wolf's head... Odd I know... Just thought I should add to some of the interesting comments above 😂.
