Just wondering if anybody will be upgrading and what differences would be. Would imagine the zx4r will be a monster at the track.
Anybody upgrading to ZX-4R in 2023

The official (US) kawasaki website has the model listed now. But they give no indication for the hp rating. It's weird how Kawasaki does not list hp for their bikes. I mean it's probably the most important spec (in addition to weight) that people would want to know.

Judging by the 25r being basically the same as the 90s inline 4's, this will be similar. 65hp at the upper end.

I reckon they'll get that out of a race-rigged bike. Showroom very doubtful.

@Grantman of most of the well done reviews on this bike the claims is 76> and who in their right mind is gonna keep it stock anyways ! here in the southeast of the USA there won''t be many restrictions on this bike and a flash tune and pipe this bike will scream !!! time will tell as I keep saying !! let's get them 1st and the guys that are in the industry and will look to mod them up quickly will be giving lots of feedback (myself included)..... @sbk1198 the race is on partna !!

I’m so excited to see what these bikes do after getting that @jetpilot01 and @sbk1198 treatment.

I give this zero chance of making 76hp off the show room floor. Reviews suggesting 76hp make me chuckle tbh. It does create buzz and clicks though. Probably the same reviewers that reckoned the 25r would be 50hp+
It'll come with a built-to-last tune and be a cool novelty. Tuners should be able to squeeze 80hp, but certainly no way from the safe-for-warranty stock tune.

Technically not upgrading considering what I've got in the stable now for bikes (2009 ZX6R race bike, 2017 Z125 Pro, 2018 Ninja 400 Neverending track bike build [getting close now!], 2019 H2, 2020 Z H2 and 2022 H2 SX SE). So the ZX-4R will instead be a nice addition and fit nicely - looking forward to hopefully (finally) getting the 400 on the track this year and being able to run the ZX-4R in adjacent sessions and see how different they are.

I'd say don't give people ideas, but you darn well know that someone has already put money down on at least one with the sole purpose of doing just that.

I think it's cool Kawasaki are making them.
