Kawasaki’s ZX-4R is the automotive equivalent of trying to sell a vintage VHS player at a Blu-ray launch party. It’s like they’ve taken a time machine to the ’80s and thrown it into the present, only to find out that everyone else has moved on to streaming services. What a colossal misstep! It’s like they’re trying to tell us that big displacement is the new black, when it’s clearly just a dusty relic from a bygone era. The market is swamped with parallel-twins and singles, yet Kawasaki insists on this island of isolation. The idea of offering a bike that isn’t beginner-friendly, when they already have the Ninja 500 for that niche, is just laughable. And talk about a guarantee of warranty voiding and legality issues – it’s like Kawasaki is daring riders to tweak the thing, just to see how much trouble they can get into. They’ve essentially created the perfect storm of a motorcycle: expensive to modify, potentially illegal, and not quite good enough to be a daily rider. It’s like they’re trying to make a statement, but it’s more of a statement of poor market research and design choices. Bravo, Kawasaki, for your own brand of ‘exotic’!)
