Cheapest Inline-Four Motorcycles for 2025: Verified U.S. Prices

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R ABS leads this verified 2025 U.S. inline-four comparison at $8,999 MSRP, but the available prices do not establish a true top ten.

The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R ABS is the lowest-priced inline-four motorcycle in the verified U.S. comparison here, with a $8,999 manufacturer-listed MSRP. That does not prove it is the cheapest across the entire U.S. market: available price evidence confirms five models or trims, not a ranked list of ten. The comparison below separates official prices from a secondary-source figure and excludes destination charges where they are not stated.

Verified 2025 inline-four prices

These are new 2025 model-year motorcycles with a confirmed inline-four layout in the cited material. Prices are U.S. base MSRPs, not out-the-door totals. Manufacturer charges, dealer fees, taxes, title and license may add to the amount you pay.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, standard non-ABS Inline-four supersport $11,399 MSRP Kawasaki product material; this figure is for the standard non-ABS trim, not an unspecified ZX-6R variant.
Suzuki GSX-R600 DOHC, liquid-cooled inline-four supersport $11,999 MSRP Reported by Cycle World’s 2025 buyer’s guide, a secondary source; not verified here against Suzuki manufacturer pricing.
Honda CBR600RR 599cc liquid-cooled inline-four supersport $12,199 base MSRP, plus $600 destination charge American Honda’s 2025 product page states both amounts. Destination is additional to base MSRP.

What the prices establish—and what they don’t

The ZX-4R is the lowest verified price, not a proven market-wide winner

At $8,999, the ZX-4R ABS is the lowest-priced entry among the models with prices verified above. The evidence does not establish a complete census of 2025 inline-four motorcycles or prices, so it cannot support the broader claim that this is definitively the cheapest in every U.S. listing—or worldwide.

Trim and engine layout change the comparison

The ZX-4R ABS and ZX-4RR ABS are separate trims with a $700 MSRP difference. Also, “sportbike” styling does not make a motorcycle an inline-four: models with twin-cylinder engines do not qualify for this comparison. Check the exact engine layout and trim before comparing prices.

MSRP is not the out-the-door price

Honda explicitly lists $600 for destination in addition to the CBR600RR’s $12,199 base MSRP. Kawasaki cautions that listed base MSRPs exclude charges and dealer fees. The cited prices do not establish a final dealer quote, which can also reflect local taxes, title, license, fees and inventory conditions.

How to use this comparison when shopping

  1. Confirm the model year and trim. Check that the listing is for a new 2025 motorcycle and identify ABS status; the ZX-6R figure above is specifically for the standard non-ABS version.
  2. Ask for an itemized out-the-door quote. Have the dealer separate MSRP, destination, dealer fees, taxes, title and license so the listed base prices can be compared fairly.
  3. Verify the price with the manufacturer or dealer. MSRP and availability can vary by model year and change over time. The GSX-R600 figure here comes from a secondary buyer’s guide rather than Suzuki’s manufacturer material.
  4. Compare the riding role as well as the price. The ZX-4R is a 399cc sportbike; the 600cc-class models are supersports. A lower purchase price alone does not show which engine size, riding position or use case suits you.

Why the list has five entries, not ten

The available model-specific evidence supports prices for the ZX-4R, ZX-4RR, ZX-6R, CBR600RR and GSX-R600. Kawasaki’s lineup also identifies the Ninja 1000SX and 1100SX as inline-four models, and the 2025 1100SX displacement is 1,099cc, but the cited lineup material does not establish their 2025 prices. Including them in a price ranking—or adding other unverified motorcycles to reach ten—would imply comparisons the evidence does not support.

Kawasaki lists 56 hp at 11,500 rpm for the 2025 ZX-4R; that is a manufacturer specification, not an independent test result. It is not a substitute for a broader price comparison.
