What makes Kawasaki ZX-4R special: Check best features
What's the story
Kawasaki launched the iconic middleweight supersport offering, the Ninja ZX-4R, in India in September.
With an eye-watering price tag of Rs. 8.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the Japanese marque only brought two batches of 25 units each.
However, a report from Bikewale has now confirmed that the motorcycle has been sold out on our shores.
Here's a look at the top features of the sports bike.

Before that, can you still buy Ninja ZX-4R?
Although both batches of the recently launched Ninja ZX-4R are now sold out, one can still book the bike via authorized dealerships. However, the booking amount has been hiked to Rs. 1.5 lakh, deliveries for which can be expected from February 2024.

Equipped with 'Ram Air' intake system
To deliver maximum power, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R comes equipped with a "Ram Air" intake system. The system routes air to the air cleaner box via centrally positioned and side-mounted ducts. The setup has been designed with feedback from the flagship Ninja H2 model.

The suspension duties on the high-performance motorcycle are taken care of by a high-grade Showa's Separate Function Fork with Big Piston (SFF-BP) inverted front fork and an adjustable mono-shock unit at the rear end.
