Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR 2024

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR 2024

The mere fact that the Kawa Ninja ZX-4RR with its high-revving Inline four-cylinder engine in bonsai format has no real competition makes it absolutely unique. The engine is also the absolute flagship, with a rev limit at 16,000 touring you'll be addicted to wind out a gear! The suspension, brakes and electronics are of a high height, but what is more surprising is that, despite all the sportiness, the bike is still very suitable for everyday use - the seating position is not as radical as on other supersports bikes.

Fun in-line four-cylinder

precise quickshifter with blipper

balanced handling

sporty and pleasant ergonomics

comprehensive electronics package

Engine needs to be kept happy

looks confusing with other Kawasakis

Kawasaki Ninja 500 2024

Kawasaki Ninja 500 2024

The Kawasaki Ninja 500 is a marvellous deceptive package with all its advantages and actually no disadvantages. Because anyone expecting super-sporty performance from this entry-level mid-range sports bike has got something wrong. Instead, the 45 hp engine gets off to a good start right from the bottom and has a throaty, sporty roar when you wind out a gear. The handling is extremely agile thanks to the low weight and narrow tyres, and the suspension surprises with unexpected aplomb. The brakes don't scare anyone and the ergonomics are pleasantly suitable for everyday use despite the superbike look. The standard Ninja pays off for all those who really want it very discreet.

Engine with more stroke provides more torque and thus appears much more mature
