Kawasaki India is preparing to launch the ZX-4R in the Indian market. The ZX-4R will be the brand's most affordable four-cylinder motorcycle in India and it will launch on 11th September. Moreover, it is expected that Kawasaki will only sell the ZX-4R only in one trim which will be the base version. So, the SE and R version is not expected to make its way to the Indian market.
The ZX-4R is a spiritual successor to the ZXR400 that used to be on sale back in 1989. However, it was discontinued because of stricter emission norms. The ZX-4R is already on sale in the global market. Moreover, Kawasaki is the only manufacturer that is selling 250 cc and 400 cc in-line four-cylinder motorcycles.
