Meanwhile, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R at one point in 2019 was offered in the Indian market but was soon pulled off the shelves. This time the Ninja ZX-4R is the one hitting our Indian shores.

This motorcycle features an exceptional engine, with an astounding power output of 77PS (or 80PS with the ram air intake) achieved at a high 14,500rpm. Furthermore, it generates 39Nm of torque at 13,000rpm. However, the powertrain is only one aspect of its performance package. The ZX-4R comes equipped with top-notch hardware, such as a Showa separate function inverted fork, a vertically mounted preload-adjustable mono-shock, dual front disc brakes, and a manageable 189kg kerb weight, all contributing to its impressive ride and handling capabilities.

Features: Neat And Brimmed-Up

In terms of features, the ZX-4R offers a 4.3-inch digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, along with four distinct riding modes (Sport, Road, Rain, and Ride), traction control, and an assist and slipper clutch, among other amenities. It's anticipated that this motorcycle will be imported to India via the CBU (Completely Built Unit) route. Also, this will be the most affordable bike with an inline-4 setup in the Indian market.

Expected Price And Launch

It is expected to be priced in the range of approximately Rs 7 to 8 lakh. Upon its arrival, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R is likely to become the most affordable inline-four motorcycle available in the Indian market. While the launch date is confirmed for September 11, we would have to wait till then for the exact retail tag.
