Kawasaki Ninja ZR-4RR Overview

The 2025 Ninja ZX‑4RR steps into the modern supersport arena with a thrilling nod to the high‑revving charm of 400cc machines from the ’80s and ’90s. Beneath its sleek fairings lies a newly developed 401 cc liquid‑cooled, DOHC inline‑four that produces a class‑leading 76 hp at 14,000 rpm, and when Ram Air kicks in, you can expect up to 79 hp at the same redline, paired with a robust 39.6 Nm of torque at 13,200 rpm. The rev ceiling stretches beyond 15,000 rpm, delivering that intoxicating high‑RPM wail few modern 400s can match.

A six‑speed transmission is equipped with Kawasaki’s dual‑direction quick shifter, offering seamless clutchless up/down shifts, a feature that becomes indispensable when wringing out the engine’s potential.

The wet weight sits around 188 kg, and the tight wheelbase of 1,380 mm combined with a steel trellis frame and a 37 mm Showa SFF‑BP front fork, plus a horizontal back‑link rear shock, delivers sharp, agile handling reminiscent of its bigger ZX siblings.

Rider aids include ABS, traction control with four riding modes (Sport, Road, Rain, and customizable Rider mode), electronic throttle valves, an assist & slipper clutch, and even smartphone connectivity, all integrated into a modern TFT display.

Braking performance is equally sharp, with dual 290 mm front discs gripped by four‑piston radial calipers and a single 220 mm rear disc for reliable stopping power
