I’d really like to see a comparison between a flashed zx4rr and a Ninja 650
Think the flash gives the rr 70+whp and 40ft/lbs if im not mistaken. Also used a 250rr ful exhaust. Look up tst industries vid on it. Would also like to see this it'd be a good comparison.
Weighs the same,
@@A6Legit you think 10hp is anything to scoff at? Not worth the price but the rr is still a better bike. I would even argue that its better than the 650.
I would definitely like to see that
@@DaPredz i started out on a 650 and the torque starts way down lower on the 650.... does not matter that it has 40ft lbs, the 650 is making 48 from the bottom of the rev range. the 650 also cost 6k out the door for a one year old model
Obviously the straight piped inline 4 is going to sound better than a twin with a stock muffler on lol
I have a ninja400 with a aftermarket slip on and it still doesn’t sound close to a 600.
Even if I did want to straight pipe my 400, it would not sound good.
Not many twins sound half as good as an Inline 4
I think between these 2 bikes it really comes down to different people value different things, so it's almost down to personal preference.
I commute on mine and did a track day last Sunday. Not a strong turning rider myself but had a really good morning on a zx4rr. Believe the bike is a great commuter and could be a good track bike in the right hands. Starter track bike for sure. Hardest part of riding the 4RR is learning to hear the engine. I’ve never been much a high rev rider. Learning to hear the shift points has been a challenge. At Little Tally, with my weight I could run full lap in 2nd, and it was fun. Expect that will change as I improve at corner entry and accept more speed into the corners. If you can afford it, it’s a good bike!
Hey! What do you think about the 4rr being a starter bike? I really just love 4 cylinders and the sound they make!
I ended up getting the 400 twin and I'm really happy that I did. As much as I love the zx-4rrs sound I couldn't justify paying "almost" the cost of a new 600 and not getting the power
If you're spending 12K you might as well get a 600. If the 4RR sounded like the 400 nobody would buy it.
The 4RR's got a miniature S2000 engine
I’d say more like an Integra Type R, but the S2000 is definitely more tractable given how aggressive the Type R’s VTEC changeover is…
Love Yam so much but really appreciated this video with Brandon comparing and sharing his opinions.
I have that exact Ninja 400 and I love it!
I have the 2018 model, it's still a phenomenal machine
Same
I’m uk and have the xx4rr on order from Kawasaki I’m hoping for a September delivery can’t wait
Great video and channel mate take care brother.
I definitely like the sturdiness of the ZX especially for the highway however, I would keep the muffler on. I prefer a more quiet bike than noisy.
Would love to see a Ninja 400 vs CFMoto 450ss
I was watching the old vid. Refresh my front page and saw this. GREAT
Im saving to get Coffman's slip-on for my ZX-4RR. Absolutely love it as a daily and it's perfect for my backroads twisties
I just bought a 2023 Ninja 400 KRT in that same blue last week! Not exactly what I wanted, but I still love it (wanted a 2022 MT07 dream bike). Having a blast learning still. Accidentally got like ALL of the warranties, and it turned out to be like $11k... it's a forever bike, though, bc you've talked about how you track it for technique and it's fun. Almost like a Miata compared to a Mustang. Low power blast
11k you should have gotten a zx6r at that price
11k? The bike goes for around 5500. You got screwed.
Results = don't buy the zx4rr for current price, not as large amount of supporting mods.
No matter how you look at it the zx4rr is better than the Ninja 400. BUT its not leaps and bounds better. The only thing that is so much better is the sound and the high revs. PLUS don't forget the comparison is done on an unlocked tune of the bike. SO you will have to buy a bike that is slower or the same as the ninja 400 until you send off the ECU to have its full potential unlocked.
Key take away here, Dont buy the zx4rr unless you already plan to spend extra money or find one that already has a flashed ecu and don't pay current crazy price.
I got a GSX-S1000, CBR300R, and a Honda metro and I swear I have just as much fun if not more on the 300 as I do on the bigger or smaller bike! I can get off the liter bike and ring the 300’s neck and push it right to the limit cause it’s so easy to find compared to the liter bike. Also revving it out is fun you do that on my big bike you will be in handcuffs in no time, so it makes the little Hondas more fun to get from point a to b!
Just bought my zx4rr 40th anniversarry ❤ with the performance pack! next week is the pick-up date cant wait!!!
Price wise they are close here in my area but i just wanted that 4 cylinder engine so bad
Both cannot be compared! They are worlds apart!
It's compared by cc one more racing other is for commuting
I just bought that exact Ninja 400 this week
ZX4 looks killer! First time in a day, I've felt pumped about a motorbike..
Yammie please find a honda f4i sport to review, its really nice for its usuall price, and is kinda decent for a starter. Those new "beginner" bikes are just killing the vibe :D
ZX4-RR is definitely intoxicating, the price is not lol
"I like the sound of the twin cylinder with the stock muffler over the inline-4 with the slip-on removed."
- Nobody ever
In India, ninja 400 isn't beginner bike. We have splendor here. 😂 It's our dream bike. 😊
It will be mine, beginner bike. Or probably rs 457 when it launches
My first bike was a 2013 Suzuki 250tux! I took it on the freeway which was very stupid!
When I was a kid in the US, a 80-100 cc was beginner and I was scared of 125 and 250 dirtbikes. Now that I got into street motorcycles, seeing that 400-650cc is ‘starter’ in US blew my mind lol
@7:59
***Buffeting ***
Not buffering.
👍
He might be an A.I. for all we know
Yammie, you should dyno test you track ninja 400 amazon exhaust db killer in, and db killer out to see if there's any difference.
Do your giveaways apply to Alaska?
Can’t wait to Get enjoy that Ninja 400 👍🏽
I plan on buying a zx4-rr as a first bike. Plenty to grow into with the flash option eventually. A bike that gives me exactly what I want, the inline 4 feel and sound without being an absolute death trap for a beginner.
Isn’t that what power modes do nowadays?
I'd recommend not getting one new only because you _will_ drop the bike and dropping 10k+ is gonna hurt lol
nice vedio, is zx4rr an accessible motorcycle for seniors? Drive to work every day and enjoy touring on weekends?
ZX-4RR being superior to R7 will be priced more than R7, I love inlines and really appreciate Kawasaki to keep them alive. Maybe they can assemble these locally to put fair pricing? I was waiting for it in India but don't think it will be launched here.
Im from delhi and kawasaki here started take 25k for pre booking of zx4r. (Zx6r also coming this festival)
@@abhishekmkaushikwhat??? wow. Hope you not joking. Can you mention expected pricing of both?
@@ManoharSingh-dg8ih according to sales person zx4r below 10L onroad and zx6r 13-14L on road.
@@abhishekmkaushik lovely
Congratulations , now it’s available in India now.
both are great
Serious question since I been following you for a bit now. I just got the 23 ninja 400 abs krt with 0 miles new rider and tbh it been a blast. Question for you do you think it be worth the trade in and spend about 5k more for this still being a new rider but skill level a bit past new rider maybe more closer to intermediate level would you truly honestly recommend this??
Was the quickshifer on the ZX4 not working..?
ZX6-R makes more financial and power sense, but is missing the higher rpm cool factor.
It’s also missing the comfort factor. The zx4 is so much more responsive and comfortable to ride. Test rode both at a demo event.
My 2023 zx6r redline is 16k. What you smokin? Same as zx4rr. They have same redline
You right. I thought it topped out at 13K for some reason. Maybe I was thinking peak HP. Nvm then, ZX4-RR DOA.@@sendysent
Love both
Could wish for both😍
What about a beginner comparison?? CFMoto 450ss and the Yamahas MT03? Both bike have been praised by you as good beginner bikes in the sub 6000 category and I'd like to see your comparison?!
first time rider prob a good bike, but nothing beats a liter in a city with a lot of freeways and aggressive drivers. ergo of my 18 1000rrsp1 seems to be just as comfy as these bikes and I can get a way from a tahoe or charger that is road raging.
When is this cominh to sweden?
This new guy has the energy of someone who should be behind the camera
Why?
Don't worry about the price worry about the 2x cost on insurance difference
for me to determine which one the best for daily/street use. i would use each bike for atleast a week before determining which is the best. the evaluation should come from moderate experience of using the machine. its just my opinion.
well for daily riding zx4 r is better only in ride on bumpy bad road cos have biger tire and proabbly slightly better suspension for such road everwhere else ninja 400 beat it 👌🏻 its lighter ,it have better lowend so you dont need to spin engine so high and you can sooner shift to higher gear 👌🏻 offcorse spin zx4 rr higher and it leave n400 in the dust 🤷🏻♂️👌🏻, besida n400 have lil more comfortable position and service is cheaper 🤷🏻♂️👌🏻 zx4 r can go faster on road with hole bumps etc and faster on track cos of massiive peak power advantage 👌🏻 beside this ninja 400 all the way for most avg rider except stricte sport setup psyche some customers than its all the way zx4 r👌🏻
Neither.think I would look at CF Moto 450. I know you were impressed and that's good enough for me bro.
i have a MT25 cuz here in iran 250cc and up are illegal and i love my yammie MT but i want to feel that inline 4 ,we cant have the zx4 but we have the zx25r, which i ordered and payed the down payment and i have to wait 5 months to get it, and i just cant wait for it. zx25rr is the only legal inline 4 in iran and you guessed it, it costs a lot. the price is 16k for a 250 cc bike.
Hi, Yammie I've been watching your content for a while since I was 12 and I'm now 16a nd I would like to get my first bike which will be the Ninja 400 and I feel ready to. In Canada, you are allowed to get your M1 as soon as you turn 16 BUT... I have a really big problem my parents hate the fact that I am even thinking of getting a bike. They go so far as to refuse to let me get my M1 or even menschen a motorcycle as an option and I was wondering if you would have any suggestions or ways or even a video that you alrighty posted talking about this issue. It would be really nice to hire your opinion thanks have a great rest of your night or day. ps I absolutely love your content keep it up!
I love the idea of the zx4. But i cannot justify it for that price when i could get a zx6 for 2000 more dollars. And tbh, if yoi can save 10k, just put in the extra time to save 2 more. Buy a zx6 or buy a 2021 zx6 used for 9k. I can justify the ninja 400 for its price as a bike aimed towards brand new riders that want an aggressive looking bike
Why would you remove the mZX4-RR muffler (I assume you mean the end can)? Surely doing so would play havoc with the fuelling.
it's not optimal but it's also not detrimental, they mentioned it a couple months ago in another video.
if Americans had the ZX-25R I wonder how they'd compare them
cheaper than the ZX-4RR, but less performance, still all the same features and nice to haves over the Ninja 400, including that screaming inline 4 sound, so perhaps the price premium would be less of an issue for them
Zx4r definitely but for the price id rather jsut go ahead and get a zx6r and call it a day.
zx4rr costs WAY too much. for the price just buy a used ZX10r
Yeah, if I'm spending that much on a bike for its handling prowess I'd go with the 636 all day. Cool bike though.
But some people don't want that power tho, you can how alotbof fun on this bike
@@motodiablo636 is the way
@@kevsimoes buy the ninja 400 save yourself the money. zx4rr is a waste of money. at this price. you can buy a used Zx10r or zx6r for the price of this thing
@zx10bk but I want to have fun on the zx4rr, I want the inlune 4 and the tech. I wanna ring out the bike without going 100 in second gear
Hi, for ZX4R
1. Can we have this the only bike as a daily commuter bike in country like India with high traffic
2. How is low end torque ? Possible to ride at 50-60kmph at 6th gear ?
a ninja 400 vs CFMOTO 450SR plssss
I would say zx4 because I like my i4’s but at that price I would just get a used 600rr to have better ergos, more power, and better torque not to mention better looks lol. Also no a 600 does not have to be on the boil all the time.
I've rode a ZX4RR and I'm not a big super sport guy so to me the 4RR is really comfy compared to my friends R1. Ergos are surprisingly upright but not as much as a 400, but not as aggressive as like my buddy's 636. It would be a good daily bike
Once I pay off my lowrider st I’m thinking about trading for a zx6 I’ve ridden liter bikes but I was disappointed because I wasn’t able to get many revs on the rode I think the zx6 will give me more revs and some extra mid range umf
You keeping the Low Rider, right lol? I'm thinking about picking up the new Ninja 500 to complement my Low Rider S that I just paid off last week. The 4RR is nice but too expensive.
Zx4 by far. In-line 4 n a beginner bike is ludicrous but it’s great idea by kawi gang. Leasing the beginner circuit 4sho. Wonder what Suzuki gonna do about that slow ass 250 and Yamaha with r3
The zx4rr has so many advantages with a flash and some bolt ons you have the cci stinger of the motorcycle world
I appreciate this but if I was living in the first world I would still pick the Ninja plus that colour scheme. The extra money would be for gear to match the colour scheme. At times like this it feels good not to be an experienced rider because you can appreciate the little things in life.
Compare a Daytona 765 or 675 with an RS660
A basic spec comparison would have been helpful for context.
you have pequliar method of using fingers on the throttle and the front brake ... 🧐 any advantages comparing the standard way?
That's how I ride as well
@@bsxxfurballxx692 the question still stands, motorically speaking the index and the middle finger works more in pare...
If things go well, I will be on a 2002 yzf r6 by 26th, maybe a few squid repairs, lol 😆
Zx4 sounds better, be loud, and be heard
Can we see a ninja 400 vs cfmoto 450ss?
Yammie I can't decide myself! A ninja 400 or a cf 450ss?? Which one you will choose??
Not yam but if you are one to worry a lot about reliability choose the kawi..m if youre willing to take a very small chance on the CFMOTO then youll like it much more. It sounds better, it has way more tech, and it looks incredible
I'd love to get my hands on a Ninja 400.
However, with my height and build ( 6,4, 235lbs). I don't think the Ninja 400 or the ZX4RR would be the right size for a guy my size. So I'd probably have to go with a Ninja 650 instead or go with a naked bike instead.
A Ninja 650 ? Why would you do that to yourself don’t you like to have fun ?
A ninja 650 is a waste, unless it's your first bike. What are you looking for so maybe we could give some recommendations.
How's the insurence difference between these bikes? I'm from europe so can't look up much. Do they differ much?
Just from running a lot of quotes on a lot of bikes - I would guess they will be close. Certainly not so much different as to sway your decision.
The ninja 400 would probably be closer in comparison to the ZX25RR in other markets
What ia the color scheme of this 400? What is that blue named?
Question for Brandon: Noticed that he covers the front brake with his middle and ring fingers, instead of his index for example. Is there any specific reason, or it just comforts him more like that? Is it to control the throttle his index finger, something he picked/learned from his racing career? Thanks! xD
I noticed this too and started doing it. Here's what I noticed after changing my hand just this little differently. It's easier for me to keep a screwdriver hold because my index and thumb are looping the bar. I felt more grip between my glove and throttle while also letting my finger caress the brake lever.
These are what I've noticed from my own experiences.
I did that naturally and my instructors for the Harley MSF thing kept telling me not to do that, I naturally still do it, and even though they helped me a lot I feel they are wrong in saying to only use all four fingers
Look at some of the MotoGP guys, a lot of not all of them use middle fingers to trail brake
shouldnt be covering the front brake at all accelerating/cruising its super dangerous. only reach when youre braking or preparing to brake
What year are the bikes doesn't say ?
I'm just not sure why we're comparing bikes that have a 100% price difference. Shouldn't zx4rr be compared to a zx6r?
I love bike reviews where not even 20 percent of the bikes performance envelope is explored, and then a review and impressions are given about the characteristics of the bike. Same as taking a Ferrari on a ride around the city and giving a review of the performance....
Why does your website say you give away a bike every month?
Just give me either one, Durban South Afrika.🇿🇦✌🏾
I owned a reflashed zx4rr with underbelly full exhaust producing 95hp and can get 200kph (asia)
Can you a comparison between cfmoto 450ss vs the ninja 400 please!
The zx is a 600 that you can actually use all of the bike on the street without having to go to a track or ride 180 mph to enjoy.
except it's very expensive and too heavy
the industry needs to wake the fook up
what a ton of people are looking for and can't find
1. 400lbs wet or less for flickabikity and canyon carving
2. an agressive seating polisition. many of us feel best hunched over. yes, we have cycling backgrounds. a bike to us is: ass up and arms low
3. 50mpg or more for commuting efficiency
4. 3 cylinders or more (that's a shout out to triumph's great engine). the twins just sound awful
5. power but not too much (a top speed of 120 is plenty, 150 and higher is just stupid for actual roads)
6. a slipper clutch
7. and either a used or new price at $7,000 or less
Another Ninja 400 vid?
Did he say "buffering" more than once? Or was it buffeting?
The zx4rr is the bike for me, no doubt!
Think you add the diffrence in price to mods that 400 would hurt that zx4r
i wish i get one of those bikes.
I legit just sold my ninja 400 for a zx6r. After riding for a while. I feel like I made a big mistake! The position fucking sucks after 40 mins
Its really not bad at all. Hit the gym and maintain a strong core or even stretch before longer rides. It will help
@@sendysent I'll try for a bit longer but christ
Chuck a handlebar conversion kit on it. Its awesome
@@mikes_channel I was just looking at the impacketech version
@@jesusnieves2170 nice! Great choice 😎
Nice
Comparing a $5k bike and a $10k bike is a little crazy
Yet we are here watching
Which would you consider best value? Prices include taxes: Ninja 400 €7200 or ZX4-RR €9799?
You could of gave him a yammie noob shirt in the intro😆
He has YN merch now, and a mullet 😂
For the money? Do you feel you could spend $3000 on a 400 and get more than a stock zx4rr? I do..
I would really like to see them in the twisties. I mean real twisties. Not almost straight roads like this...
🤔 the more expensive heavier bike with less torque is the better street bike? Did Kawisaki send a scathing letter?
Just busting balls. I haven't ridden either, so I shouldn't comment.
its not 😁👌🏻
Just googled zx6r price and apparently this bike costs the same as the zx6r? Price is a big factor imo
It has quickshift and autoblip 11:06
If I have a chance to buy. I think i'll go to zx4rr
I guess zx4r is loophole to get more power with modifications for less insurance money. Let me know if I am right.
Ninja 400 twin for sure -- but why doesn't Kawasaki make a ADV version? 😢
Versys 300 dude. Does everything you could ever want.
I had a ZX4RR, but I got into a wreck with it and lost the damn thing, the amount I wish I had it back
636 time. should have got a 636 onstead anyway
@@M16xDr0pSh0tz I’ve been thinking that once I got over the bike I loved 😂
636 would just be faster anyway, I could finally keep up with my buddies :D
do it man. I had a 636 and it's by far the best 600 ever. Now on to a zx10 but still miss the 636@@jimmythecacodemon2397
It just came out and you already crashed it?
@@TronciM yep, that’s what pisses me off, but the wreck wasn’t my fault tho, however insurance won’t get me another one due to “no fault laws” so neither my insurance or hers will help me there 🫠
Seriously why are you shifting the zx like that? it has a up/down quick shifter? And pull the muffler off? 🤷🏼♂️, epic squid alert.
I found the Z400 (naked ninja) hideously uncomfortable.
The dealer would give me one when my Z900 was in for service. I HATED it. No it wasnt suffering in comparison to the 900. I like smol bikes. I still miss my gsxr400. I just found it awful.
Your dealer gave you a loaner bike??? Wtf thats amazing... so jealous dude
Those GoPro settings…
Intentional?
What happened with the settings?
I want the zx4rr to go slower and still have fun.
Thank You Almighty God I will buy some for myself
