Bikes like the Suzuki GSX-R400, Honda CBR400R, and Kawasaki ZXR400 were responsible for converting an entire generation to the two-wheeled lifestyle, and for good reason. I mean, who doesn’t love the banshee howl of a high-revving four-banger, all while staying within the speed limit?
These days, small-displacement four-cylinder sportbikes are all but a thing of the past with no other manufacturer but Kawasaki—with the Ninja ZX-4R—making them for the global market.
