Personal opinion:
A high revving inline 4 'entry class' superbike, you cannot look down on it at straight roads or traffic jam. It could easily reaches 200km/j in less than 20 secs. With light but strong chasis for stability during cornering best describes Kawasaki's improved technology for ZXR bigger brothers such as ZX10R and ZX750R.
What I have to complaint about this bike is the maintenance part especially the timing chain and the valve (which seriously must be taken care off) and the 18 inch rear tyre which is unpopular in the market.
Recommended for beginners and those who seek less aggressive power by the engine but aggressive control in turns or corners. Not too fast but light.
