ZX-4RR

[Bakazan]

I intrigued by the new ZX-4RR, it looks like it would be a fun bike for buzzing around local roads, but the weight seems a bit disappointing - it's only 9kg lighter than the ZX-6R.

I thought in the old grey import era the 400s were quite a bit lighter than the 600s or is my memory playing tricks on me?

Without the lower weight will the revvy engine be more of a pain than a bonus?

I think the 90‘s 400s were sometimes higher spec than the 600s of that time. As 600s were further developed, they equaled, then surpassed the spec of the 400s.

I wouldn’t worry about the weight so much. Yes, I would prefer an aluminium beam frame… but I would focus on the riding experience. A nice 4 cylinder 400 can bimble smoothly in slow traffic and haul arse on open roads.

This bike looks to be the perfect b-road/quick blast for coffee type bike. For perspective, my old ER6F weighed 200kg, and had 72BHP, but handled really well and was better on the B-roads than some super faster bikes.
