The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R is a sports motorcycle from Kawasaki. It has been discontinued (production ended around 2026). Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Sports bikes put performance first, usually with a sportier riding position and sharper handling than everyday bikes. With a 399 cc engine it sits in the 250–450 cc class.
Power comes from a 399 cc 4-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 76.4 bhp at 14,500 rpm and 39 Nm of torque at 13,000 rpm. Peak torque comes high up, at 13,000 rpm, so it rewards revving. Its bore is wider than its stroke (57 mm x 39.1 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 410 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is genuinely fast, well beyond everyday traffic speeds. The claimed top speed is 200 km/h. It has electric start.
It has a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
Its frame is trellis, high-tensile steel. Suspension is by USD fork at the front and monoshock at the rear. Braking is by a disc at the front and a disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 120/70-17 at the front and 160/60-17 at the rear.
The seat is 800 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 189 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. Ground clearance is 135 mm — low, so take speed breakers and steep ramps slowly. It is 1,990 mm long, with 1,380 mm between the axles. It carries 15 L of fuel.
Equipment includes a digital instrument console, an LED headlamp, turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts, distance-to-empty readout, gear position indicator, mobile app connectivity, daytime running lamps and service due indicator. Safety equipment includes engine kill switch, hazard light switch, traction control, low fuel indicator and malfunction indicator. It has three riding modes: Rain, Road and Sports.
The manufacturer's warranty is 2 years or 30,000 km. For the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹9,499 doorstep service.
It is best suited to riders who want performance and sharp handling. With this much performance, it is better as a step-up bike than a first bike.
Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment.
