This is the Kawasaki ZX-25R, the four-cylinder 250 c.c. and 20,000 rpm?

[Akrapovic]

We had talked to you a few days ago that Kawasaki was preparing a 250-cylinder, which was promised 60 hp at 20,000 rpm and this Wednesday was presented at the Tokyo Motor Show. This is the Kawasaki ZX-25R.

This new motorcycle is totally different from the Ninja 250 that we showed you last week and is equipped with a quiet two-cylinder engine.

The aesthetics Kawasaki ZX-25R is the same as the entire Ninja saga, in a totally sought after way.

As for what is inside the fairing, not much data has been provided yet, only that it is moved by a tetracylinder in line LC of 249 c.c., although without more data, at the moment.
60 hp at 20,000 rpm?

From Japan, data such as 60 hp at 20,000 rpm had been filtered, and this engine is very similar to that of the ZXR250 of the 80-90s, which was not sold in Spain and was the queen of the 250, when in At that time the 250 tetracylinders were common in Japan.

 

 

Of course, he assembles a catalyst, but since this motorcycle, at least for entry, will be destined for the Asian market, it must only comply with Euro3 regulations.

The fact of being more restricted with respect to the 30-year-old version may suggest that it does not have the 60 hp or 20,000 rpm of the ZXR250, but who knows…

What is known is that it mounts a double beam steel chassis and a Showa SFF-BP fork. It only mounts a single front disc, although, yes, with a 4-piston radial caliper.

 

 

On whether it will come to Europe ... If we are to bet, we would say no. The space of motorcycles of similar power Kawasaki has them covered with the Ninja 400 and 650, and hardly this motorcycle will exceed the Euro5. But spectacular, it is a while ...
