A lot of anticipation over there. I'll check in later when the gurus get a hold of them.

Local Cycle Gear is having one on display tonight at Bike Night

I can already tell you the sound and smoothness of the engine is 🥰
Fit and finish is 🥰
Even the little touches like rubber nut cover for the rear axle and a rubber cover for the head pin hole. 👍

I won't be riding the bike for awhile as I'm taking the front and rear wheels off and shipping to Florida for a hopeful r&d for some future forged wheels for the 4RR. 🤞

In the mean time I'll be doing some upgrades to the bike as parts come in while I continue to enjoy the N400 as I do so.

I'm patient and am plenty happy with my Lady in Red.
KeRmiT will have to wait until his shoes return. 😁

Is or has anyone getting the zx4r in another color???? So far only have seen the KRT color scheme. 😎😎😎

Ok already!..... use some of them bad boys and list them for sale already. The used market for these things is desperately waiting.....

I believe the KRT edition is the only bike coming to America.
I've seen one black ZX4R in Canada and the white models along with the KRT and black in Asia.

I'm happy with the green and it was the 4RR KRT that got me quite fond of the color scheme to also include the Ninja 400 KRT as well. 👍

It is sort of hard to tell in pictures, but it looks like the front axle is hollow, and the rear appears to be solid. Can anyone confirm?

Beautiful bikes, and congrats to all you guys who have one!

I searched until I found a review with a HP figure since that's the bottom line on bang for buck 76ish HP. Of course that can only go up. $10,000 is however a premium price for the ride and available modifications will just continue to grow. I'm sure it's going to be a terrific machine, much fun to ride and race, and maybe a collector's item.

Fortunately for me I'm too old to dive into that deep end of the pool.

Confirmed on the hollow front axle and solid rear axle.
12mm reverse Allen nut in the fro t axle had me buying a set of big Allen drivers to remove the front axle.

Rear is 19mm nut on the left side just the opposite of the Ninja400 setup.
So many similarities to the N400 but differences as well.

According to my Kawi dealer only 600 bikes are coming to America total.
If that's the case they will indeed be a sought after bike, hold a cult like following, and probably hold their value too.

I did t need another bike but when this screamer came out I couldon't help myself and with 1.95% interest for 36 months from Kawi I couldn't help but finance this time around. 👍

I am almost foaming at the mouth for Kawasaki to introduce a different color stateside.
Mrs. Pmack's least favorite color is green, followed closely by orange.
If Kawi would bring the red and blue SE versions stateside, we would be getting another, and the KRT would be mine!
If that doesn't happen, she will get a full fairing kit, and I will try to find another KRT.
She said this bike is everything she wanted the Aprillia RS660 to be.
You don't need anything more capable than this bike at street speeds.
Track is TBD, at this point.

Actually around 56hp.

With mods - potentially 76hp.

Just getting rid of stateside restrictions put it at 68-74 RWHP, depending on the dyno.
Adding exhaust, stacks, and tune may get to 85 or so with ram air, hopefully?
Just like the N400, it looks underwhelming until you ride it.
The chassis is much better than the N400, so are the suspension, brakes, and electronics.
Think late 80's 600cc HP(ZX600R or CBR600 hurricane)power with better chassis, suspension, brakes, and modern electronics.

Cat back exhaust and tune looks to be 76hp per the Graves Dyno.
