- With an inline 4 cylinder engine that revs out to 16,000rpm, the new Kawasaki ZX-4RR is anything but your typical small displacement motorcycle! I knew that going into this, but nothing could've prepared me for how much FUN that translates to! So what do we think...am I a sportbike boi now? Do I need to buy a ZX4RR??

It wasn’t flashed ? Are you going to flash it ?
Any true motorcycle Enthusiast needs one. You and me included. A flash of the ECU bumps the HP considerably.
This should be stock and not relying on a tune ! It’s a Ripoff!!!
@@oceanhome2023blame the government standard restrictions. Not the manufacturer. Because believe me if they could get more horsepower out of its standard they would. And make more $ at the same time
No you're just unlocking the ecu they detune these in the north American market they're heavy and cost to much for what they are. Any true enthusiast will pass this up. It costs nearly as much as a zx6r that has double the hp
@@ronburgundy4375 They are locked due to emissions standards. This is the ONLY way it can even come to market. It's priced high because of the R&D that has went into bringing it to the modern market. 95% of riders can even use the HP that the ZX6 has. Very very few can run around at 120MPH speeds all the time. The ones that do end up with big speeding tickets or end up dead. For a lot of people, the HP is secondary to the fun factor and this bike has that in volumes once unlocked. If you think you need a 120HP to have fun you are doing it wrong.
@@ronburgundy4375Curb weight isn’t much more than the old FZR400, and small fours are a piece of racing history.
400cc is an ideal capacity for fun on the road and track. Modern 600s are too damn fast and bikes have been getting heavier for a while, so it's great to return back to the 80s/90s capacity range. Some of the most fun I ever had on the road were on my old NC24. All the fun of revving the crap out of it and slicing through corners without all the licence-shredding speed.
The stock bike will stop producing power at 11,500 rpm, and going into any higher revs will just increase the sound.
That is until you get the ECU reflashed, and only then can you experience the full potential of this motorcycle.
Awesome video! I love the editing and you nailed the description as well. 🤘🏻
Thanks dude!! And thanks again for letting me take your baby for a ride! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I just got back from a ride on my ZX4RR and lemme tell ya, the tune (TST), a full exhaust, and high flow air filter realllllly wake the bike up. It's so fun and handles oh so well while not being unbearable to ride long distances. It's also got actual usable power for the street. Dont be worried to cruise around at a higher RPM cuz keep in mind, it's got a 16k redline and loves to rev!
oh yeh and to add to your comment about expecting it to throw you back more at 10k rpm - that'll be more apparent after the tune since that's where most of the power is gained on the tune.
@@sir2hondawhere do you live bro?
@@aliiimemis orlandoooo
Would you say good beginner bike if i keep it detuned and than when I'm ready tune it to wake the bike up
Burch on a sport bike is just what we need! Ya got the cruiser, ya got the DS, now _maybe_ a lightweight awesome 400cc bike?!
See this kind of justification is exactly how I’ve ended up with so many bikes! I need one of every flavor!! 😂🤘🏻
Again, love the color!!
Get one man. It's always good to get another discipline under your belt. It's got three less cylinders but the RC390 I got has really opened my eyes to a whole new world of what's out there. Ordered the Coffman's exhaust in all black by the way. Can't wait to throw it on.
Yea man those little KTM’s seem suuuper rad too! I’d love to get to try out an RC390 or Duke 390 soon. Definitely keep me posted on how you like the new exhaust once you get it thrown on! I still haven’t heard a Coffman’s I didn’t like 🙌🏻🤘🏻
Do you have a sound clip video?
I also own a 23' RC390 and I've got a full DominatoR system on it and I would like to compare the sounds.
Proper bike congrats Burch I heard ya babies drop😮
Lovely to see Delaware on one of these motorcycle channels!
Great video Burch !!! 🤙🏽
Thanks Marvin! 😬🤘🏻
Yes get one!!🙌🏻🙌🏻
Yes you do! I want you to have one of all the bike styles
I like the way you think!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
First thing I said when I got off a ninja for the first time was "Well I guess I'm a sport bike guy now". I laughed out loud when you said basically the same thing on this 😆
Is this “return of the pocket Rockets” they where epic bikes back in the day. The variable valve 400 from Suzuki was…. EPIC!
Yes! I’ll wait for you to take it trail riding! 😂
Dude, that's a rad bike Dude.
Love the video man. 😊 hope all is well.
That Coffman’s Exhaust really purrs!!!
I want to pick up one of these as my first bike and flash the ecu when I get used to the bike. I live in a big city and being able to do something like that instead of upgrading is huge!
That green tipped exhaust gives the perfect Kawasaki monster energy chad vibe.
Go coffman! I copped one as well, for 250 it was stupid not to. All others were 600 plus for same material. Dont fall into the name brand bs when it comes to pipes. Made my duke 10 times better!
Would love to see LifeOfBurch test ride the Kawasaki Vulcan S!!
Now I want one.
I have got to say, your reviews are so on point! I love getting actual opinions that match what I'm seeing and not just generic regurgitated B------t. I don't know if it's just the heat in Mexico, but the acceleration is pretty disappointing. Yes, it looks like a lot of fun, but for the price, just get a used 600.
Oh yeah, def just get the 6ixer, but these are cool and yeah the heat will kill it for sure.
Hey I am a subscriber been watching your videos on your Coffman exhaust install I have to say I was blown away when I heard it on the kawasaki I want your thoughts I have a 2023 Honda NC750X DCT been racking my brains on which exhaust to buy. What are your thoughts on coffmans for my NC750X
love the video! "Sorry tim" haha
😂😂😂
Very nice environment there, which place is it?
I just sat on one of these at a dealer, compared to my 6r it’s comfortable asf, the price seems a tad high for the lack of adjustability in the forks though.
You need a group ride with a long tunnel maybe Baltimore? Annapolis to Havre de Grace? The Harbor tunnel would be the Symphony of our People!!!
Ive been trying to wait patiently for scl500 rear fender delete video to drop. Is that still happening?
Hey hey! The inseam measurement is paying off bro! It can be used in every bike review!
Now I gotta pay you royalties for every measurement 🙄😂
Wait…I just realized that could read as if you’re the one who measured me 😳😂😂😂
@LifeOfBurch lol, don't worry, while you make great stuff, I wouldn't want to measure your legs lol.
Hi,
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 ?
I’d say if you want a bike that matches the riding position and similar linear power curve go with an older Yamaha FZ6
You need to ride it again once the ecu has been flashed. The zx4rr benefits so much from a flash that its almost necessary
The little screamer crotch rockets are perfect little hooligan bikes for little people. The Concourse is as close to a Crotch Rocket as I can get or maybe a Busa. They're also perfect little track bikes.
Yes.
Needs more revs, especially since its only a 400 should be reving to 20k!
You like small cc you should try the Yamaha mto3 or mto7 they have a better sitting position and torque down low and they weigh nothing and you can make them lighter try them out and it’s Yamaha that’s partner with Toyota so they are reliable
Get one
Thx great review. You sound like a less annoying Yammie lol
Mexico has a lot of similar landmarks as Maryland. That's crazy. Love the cgi effects. Are you leaving honda?
I take it this bike will wheelie fairly easily?
It. Is. Time. 🏍️💨😈
You’re a bad influence woman!! 😳🧡
The speedometers are all set to Kilometers per hour obviously!!!
Sounds way better than the 250 and 300.
Please release Scrambler fender delete👏🏻👏🏻
The new Gixxer Brah. "Ninja Brah," zooming down the streets of Maryland yelling like a maniac. I like it. Or perhaps "Burch Brah?"
Ah hell yeah!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
In every other country, the zx4rr comes with 75hp they de-tuned it for the North American markets. They're also charging too much for the money might as well get a zx6r. It's also a heavy pig at 414lbs
the chip is $250 and I got mine for MSRP 👍
More specifically they de-tuned it for California and Canadia
Floor to meat ratio on point.
AY YO 😳😂😂😂
Hehehe 😂
Do it!
yes, you absolutely need one. Lol. But it needs a real tune, maybe for corn 😏, plus bolt ons as always.
it's hard to justify this in terms of price when a used 636 is the same price, or a brand new one is barely more expensive..
Not gonna lie, that thing is awesome. Just wouldn't go the $$ they want for them but yeah, way cool.
These video game graphics almost look real.
9:59 pfft, look at this guy not being a complete hooligan and just lane splitting 😂.
I gotta try to behave sometimes at least 😂
Goat has entered the chat
The top is limited bigtime. Need a flash
Get a Honda fury or do a video riding one
Do it!!!
Don’t tempt me!! 😩
@@LifeOfBurch You won't do it!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I know i cant afford but how much out the door does it cost
$12k -$12,500 USD
Get yourself a ZX-6R, I want to buy one, but I don't have a bike license yet.😞
This is tuned/flashed or no?
No, if it were flashed, we would've seen a steady increase in MPH at 5th gear
I love it lol
This thing was so dope dude!! 🙌🏻🤘🏻
Sweet bike, but I think I rather have the R7 for the price.
What's your height?
Do you need one? No! You need two! One for Nina!
Ayyy now we’re talkin!! 😎🤘🏻
😈😈😈
Get a gen 3 mt09
You weren't speeding, you can clearly see it says "kph".. yeah, I see it now.
In germany the bike has 77 hp Stock
it dies power wise at 11500 just makes noise.
I hate coffmans. Had them on my zx14r when I bought it from the dealer. Couldn’t snatch them off fast enough. Put on delkevic 9” ovals with the db killers removed. Soooooo much better. Sold the coffmans, swingarm extensions, long chain and long brake line for $300 just to get them out of my sight.
Inline 4 cylinder at 400cc..? 🤤
Right?! It’s what dreams are made of 😍🙌🏻
@@LifeOfBurch I never had more fun than when I had my Honda CB650R. Inline 4, 650cc and a 14k redline. It also terrified me haha, I redlined 3rd gear going 98mph... in Mexico of course..
@@LinkFelton yea those things are fun! And it’s crazy how many nice roads there are in Mexico… 👀👀👀
It definitely sounds amazing but... that price tag is STEEP! In the same price rage you can get a 650 from the same brand or you could get something like a Rebel 500 and have cash left over for customization. Idk man... time will tell.
tbh the exhaust sounds just like the competitors, but doesn't really look good at all...looks very cheap
They restrict the hell out of these new bikes. All of them. It’s terrible. It can easily cost you 3k to uncork your bike and get a proper dyno tune. They got them running so lean that they get so hot they won’t last as long as say a bike that’s a tick rich
No, for the price and everything you get, the R7 is a much better deal...
Sweet bike but grab a cbr1000
Bahahahhaha CGI… classic.
😏😏😏
Sport bikes are for little baby boys. Real men. Really real men... They get a supermoto xD jk jk but fr tho I just got a husky701sm and I'm totally obsessed with it.. of course I think everyone should have one now haha
So, at all times, you're 34 inches away from being a dick kicker. Noted. Bike sounds fantastic as well. Cheers.
😳😳😂😂😂
53 horsepower?? bro got his numbers way off. stcok ZX4RR is advertised to have 75hp with 80hp with the active ram air.
U.S. model is detuned unfortunately. His numbers were spot on.
@@LifeOfBurch really? that's way low
@@marxteven yea check out this dyno graph from one of the companies who does the tunes- tstindustries.com/tst-worx-performance-ecu-tune-kawasaki-ninja-zx-4rr-2023.html
Stock made 58hp and the power drastically drops around 11.5k. Tune and exhaust bumped it to 76hp with the peak hitting all the way at 14.5k. Not sure why the U.S. got such a detuned model, probably some EPA bs, but at least it’s an easy (and fairly cheap) fix.
53 to the wheel, manufacturers hp are always crank
@@MonicaHolly143 even so 53 is way low. 75 with 15% drivetrain loss is still around 60. it would seem that the US spec ZX4RR is detuned to 55hp.
