Though seemingly two variants of the same model, there is a third \u2013 the ZX-4R SE, which, however, did not make an appearance at the show. The main disparities between the models lie in their front and rear shock absorbers. Given the audience\u2019s initial guesswork that hovered around the 100,000 yuan mark, the announcement of the top-tier ZX-4RR\u2019s price, just shy of 80,000 yuan, sparked audible excitement.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-5510\" src=\"https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a2-14-300x178.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"843\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a2-14-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a2-14-327x194.jpg 327w, https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a2-14-768x457.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a2-14-690x410.jpg 690w, https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a2-14-280x165.jpg 280w, https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a2-14.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24400\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 851px;\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-5511\" src=\"https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a4-16-300x164.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"851\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a4-16-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a4-16-327x179.jpg 327w, https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a4-16-768x420.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a4-16.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24400\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kawasaki, ZX-4R and ZX-4RR, RMB 69,800 and RMB 76,800<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24401\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24401\"><\/figure>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-5513\" src=\"https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a13-5-300x166.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"893\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a13-5-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a13-5-327x181.jpg 327w, https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a13-5-768x426.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globalautosources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/a13-5.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 893px) 100vw, 893px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>YAMAHA \u2013 Showcasing sincerity through pricing<\/h3>\n<p>YAMAHA primarily unveiled two models this round \u2013 the robust mid-weight ADV model T700, and the reigning \u201cMoped King,\u201d the TMax560.

So, how can domestic brands secure their\u00a0own niche amidst the low-price maneuvers of these imported brands? I propose two key factors: price and quality. With constant advancements in local technology R&amp;D and design capabilities, domestic brands can assure superior product quality while maintaining a competitive price-performance ratio. In the burgeoning Chinese motorcycle leisure market, there is still ample room for home-grown brands.<\/p>\n<p>*All official prices listed above are for the Chinese market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our preceding article, we recapped the fresh line-up rolled out by domestic brands at the 2023 Motor China event.
