Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR 40th Anniversary Edition 2024

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR proves to be an impressive sporty bike that will particularly delight lovers of high-revving four-cylinder engines. With its distinctive sound and excellent braking performance, it offers a riding experience that is convincing both on the road and on the race track. The sporty ergonomics and precise handling make it a good choice for beginners and smaller riders looking for a super sports bike suitable for everyday use. However, the engine requires high revs, which can be tiring on longer journeys, and the display looks a little outdated compared to modern standards. Overall, the ZX-4RR offers a lot of riding pleasure and is a welcome addition to the small-volume supersports segment.

Impressive four-cylinder sound

Well-functioning quickshifter

Sporty, stable suspension with good handling Ergonomic, sporty but comfortable riding position

Good modulation and sufficient braking power

Suitability for everyday use despite sporty orientation

Simple operation of the controls

High revs required for optimum power

Slow setting of riding modes

High noise levels due to high engine speeds

Kawasaki Z900 70kW 2018

The Z900 is a top entry-level motorbike. Very smooth engine, great brakes and lots of adjustment options on the chassis and levers. The acceleration may be too good for speed junkies, but it's just right for learning. The lack of electronic gimmicks, riding modes and traction control doesn't bother either, but makes the Z900 a good bike to learn the basics of two-wheeled locomotion. A high-quality purist, a real motorbike, even with only 48 hp!

Smooth engine with punch at approx. 6000 rpm

Finely controllable brakes

Smooth running of the engine super for city traffic

Typical 4-cylinder shriek, but very restrained at low revs

Stable at motorway speeds

Good handling

Quite small for tall people

rather high weight of 210 kg

acceleration with 48 hp rather poor due to weight
