A high-revving inline-four, that piercing top-end rush is irresistible. Kawasaki's nerve to make a mid-displacement four these days, I'll buy it. If the ZX-4RR is the more serious-spec one, it'll show its worth on track. But for mostly public roads the ZX-4R is plenty of fun. Choose by where you want to attack. Both stir the blood.
