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

Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP 2021

Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP 2021

The SC82 was already a hit when it was released in 2020 with the aforementioned minor flaws, which Honda has now successfully eliminated in 2022. A big advantage for road and race track. The new Fireblade is once again a top performer for both disciplines and is sure to secure a place at the very top.

Great engine

Good electronics set-up

Top rideability and feedback

Knee angle very narrow, especially for taller riders
