It does everything he needs, and he keeps up with the rest of us just fine on group rides.

I agree. Contentment vs keeping up with the Joneses. Vs our fast-food society...

Honestly, I don't think a ZX4 is needed or even good. It will definitely be probably the best beginner bike for it's forgiving torque being at the high end of the rev range, and it will be twice the headache when maintenance is needed. While on paper it is an awesome idea, but we already have a capable 400 and the R&D, INHO, should go into stiffening the frame of the current bike. My 2 cents.
