While Malaysia has the 2023 Kawasaki ZX-25R with its RM33,900 price tag, neighbouring Singapore now gets the 2023 Kawasaki ZX-4RR, priced at S$18,000 Singapore dollars (RM61,948). With the current Singapore Certificate of Entitlement (COE) fee of S$10,700 (RM36824), this brings the sales price of the ZX-4RR to S$28,700 (RM98,773) and paultan.org was informed by a source Kawasaki Singapore’s order book is full for the foreseeable future with all units spoken for.
This compares against the 320,000 Thai baht (RM41,800) price for the ZX-4RR in Thailand and the SE version in that market is priced at 363,760 Thai baht (RM46,700). For Malaysia’s ASEAN neighbour the Philippines, the ZX-4RR has a retail price of 499,000 PHP (RM41,274) while for Malaysia, distributor Modenas remains tight-lipped if the ZX-4RR will come to our shores.
For Singapore, with its very restrictive private vehicle ownership in the form of the COE, the ZX-4RR falls under the Class 2A licence category for motorcycles displacing 400 cc and below. With the very limited choice of 400 cc motorcycles in the Singapore market, the ZX-4RR represents the highest tech bike available in that category to riders on the island nation.
The ZX-4RR is the companion to the ZX-25R in Kawasaki’s small displacement sportsbike catalogue, complementing the ZX-10RR superbike, the ZX-6R super sports and the H2R hyper bike. Like the ZX-25R, the ZX-4RR is unique in its class for the use of an inline four-cylinder engine at the same time getting adjustable Showa suspension front and rear.
Displacing 399 cc with overhead cams and liquid-cooling, the ZX-4RR produces up to 77 PS in base trim. The ZX-4RR’s mill revs up to 15,000 rpm and the Ram-Air intake is fully pressurised, power rises to 80 PS. A six-speed gearbox equipped with assist and slipper clutch with chain final drive gets power to the rear wheel and the SE model comes equipped as standard with an up-and-down quickshifter.
The riding aids on the ZX-4RR has four ride modes – Sport, Road, Rain and Rider – as well as two power delivery modes. There is also three levels of traction control as well as a 4.3-inch TFT-LCD instrument panel with “Normal” and “Circuit” display modes.
For braking the ZX-4RR gets twin 290 mm diameter brake discs on the front wheel clamped by four-piston callipers while the rear gets a 220 mm disc with single-piston calliper and two-wheel ABS is standard. Rolling on 17-inch wheels, the ZX-4R gets 120/70 rubber in front and a 160/60 rear tyre along with full LED lighting throughout, a 15-litre fuel tank, smartphone connectivity using Kawasaki’s Rideology app, 800 mm seat height and overall weight of 188 kg.
Even here, 300-400cc bikes are extreme limited. maybe due to full B, consumer prefer straight up to 500 onwards and likely also price wise. would love to see more of these bikes comes in as its lighter.
syukur harga malaysia murah kan?
Mana murah, jangan compare after convert to RM. Compare dollar to dollar. RM33,900 only gets zx25r. Zx4r is SGD28,700, with COE! So the ZX4R in Malaysia is probably gonna cost RM40k and above. Purchasing power dah lain. Sana this bike is probably motor premium sikit saja. Here, not many can afford RM30k/40k bike
Too expensive
Why don’t buy Yamaha R1?
