It’s ZED not ZEE 🙃🇬🇧
Bro top speed
Who's Zed?
Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead.
It's Zee not Zed....
@@gregoryaparker
No it's pronounced zed, also colour has a letter u in it and Aluminium has n i in it too.
Fucking Americans ruining our language!!
While I'm at "do the math" as you say over there makes no fucking sense either surely it has to be "do the MATHS!!!"
England and America 2 countries separated by a common language.
Pretty sure when we kicked the crap outta England way back then that meant the United States will always be correct in any dispute. Just be glad we let you keep your little queen and all the socialist programs they have. If there was any up side to us you'd be the 51st state today, lol. We have enough problems taking care of our southern neighbors.
Now we just need the 2 stroke 250s back and I can die happy
then i have bad news for you
@@user-jt6nw6wm5q tell me that
Totally agree, even if i already have a very low mileage Aprilia RS 250 - 00 in very good condition. But teoreticly there is posible now with fuel and oil injected 2-strokes that pass the emisson requirments..like outboard boatmotors for example.
Indonesia also has the Ninja SS, 2 stroke 150cc. Would love to play with that too.
Ninja 150 is called in Malaysia,Singapore ,Thailand and Indonesia, super light and tons of mod items
250cc 4inline 19k rpm
i love the sound of F1.
They are a load of hell slower than a F1, and a lot slower than my modified Aprilia RS 250 2-stroke too ;)
lol you can se the ass of my modified Aprilia RS 250 2 -stroke that both have 15 hp´s more and are 20 kg lighter than that green leadbike on wheels ;)
@@mattiasandersson3444 sorry lad where not talking speed here. We talking the sound of 19k rpm just like 90's where the 250s inline 4 whining on street.
@@jgy13 that quit "whining" cant be compared to a 500cc 2-stroke 4 cyl v engine😜
two stroke its useless now.i Its illegal on public road. Just keep in your garage.
A screaming low cc 4cylinder quickshifting through a bend somewhere in the mountain. Sounds like a good time to me.
Sean Parker hell yeah it does.
I fear the whole bike would be physically too small for me, but you are correct after riding for over 43 years I've concluded the most fun can generally be found wringing the neck of a small machine on a winding hilly road. While I have large cc machines for touring, you just can't ride a large capacity machine consistently hard on public roads without reaching crazy unsafe and illegal speeds. For a pleasure ride I find my older and less powerful bikes provide a bigger grin. Riding a less powerful bike "Fast" is more fun than riding a really powerful one "slowly" IME.
In the US... the best place for this bike is on a farm next to a cow.
@@fiveowaf454 Using it in OUR modern traffic system..... equates to death.
@@nuffflavor My personal opinion is riding any Sports style bike with the head down, butt up riding position greatly increases the opportunities for disaster, you just have so much of a better view of what's happening all around you with a more upright riding position and a tall one where you can see over other vehicles. The fact physically small bikes have less road presence doesn't help either.
It's great to see this realized again, with over 30 years of innovations integrated in it.
This should mean a power increase, maybe even higher revving and better steering caps.
I'd say bring it to all over Europe. There are lots over enthousiasts here, myself included.
I would buy one!
I really hope they bring it to usa. I would buy one for sure.
Would be a sweet replacement for the ZX-6R!
@@motobob yes indeed 😎🤘
@@motobob Why's that?
JoeGo101 I am in Australia and can’t wait to find out if it is coming here as it will be my first bike and am struggling to convince parents about reliability of a 90’s bike
Jeremy R I think he’s talking about JoeGo’s zx6r..
I’ve waited 15 years for a bike like this. If Kawasaki doesn’t send it worldwide, including Australia, it will be a crime.
a 45hp detuned variant would sell like hotcakes to the LAMS crowd.
D R Kawasaki Au emailed me back, they say the ZX25R will not make Aus. Kawasaki Global emailed me back and said it is not known where it will land.
@@bigmost4300 that's shit go
@@bigmost4300 250cc
Asia 1st ~
@@bigmost4300 I emailed Kawasaki NZ and they said they are waiting to hear back from Japan. What ever that means. I dont want a LAMS bike, I want a full power screamer! I cant for the life of me understand why they would not offer this to the whole world after all that R & D work. I went through the same thing two years ago with the Honda CBR250RR which is still limited to a handful of Asian countries. I dont get it.
I’d buy it tomorrow if it were available in the US.
me too
I want one .... hopefully suzuki will bring that gsxr 125
SAME HERE! I daily an MT09, and i would love this bike for the track
Same
@leicanoct I want it in Canada, in this colour spec
Oh man. These liitle screamers with an after market pipe sound like formula 1 cars.
Im 65 now, riding over 40yrs. I'll definitely buy 1 as a 2nd bike toy.
Come to Canada please.
Oh and Honda, bring on the 250-6.
May 2022, where is it.
Looks like a nice bike
Glad you are in Canada. Might be a fight in line to snag one of these! Had a CB400F as my first street bike. Been waiting on these to come back.
Imagine quickshifting at 19k rpms. 🤤
Bat Person with full exhaust.
Yea
People will think you’re riding a F1
@@grumpybraincells6612 an F1 in 2nd gear going only around 100kph at 19k rpms. Glorious.
@@batperson3532 oh yea can't wait to pick one up from the dealer
@@BrendanRaymondKoroKoro 16k is still high and seems standard on many bigger inline 4s. My ninja 250 has redline at 13k but the rev limiter doesn't hit until almost 14k so it might go a bit into the red. I'm still not disappointed because I can't imagine it would really benefit from higher revs other than sound. I wonder if it is possible that they borrowed that tach from another bike because they haven't made the real one yet. Either way they didn't give us much information to go on because it is still early.
@@BrendanRaymondKoroKoro I understand but the bikes from the 90s had their peak power at like 12k the extra revs would definitely help if the power doesn't drop off much. It is also important to think about reliability and service intervals. If it revs a little lower it is safer and may not need valve adjustments as often. I don't know if emissions/fuel economy are something that would be affected but I think it might.
Hell yea. I'd buy this for sure if it came to the US. Imagine having ninja 400 lightness and flick ability with the sound of a Zx6R...
Take my money.
If it comes here, it will cost as much as a 6R.
Oh, dunno if you've ever actually ridden a bike, but the 6R is just as flickable as the 400, even more so due to proper suspension.
I think if they made a 400 version in the same frame etc. like you had the 250 and 400 models in the Japanese bikes in the late 70's and 80's the 400 would really be something special.
No way a 250 would sound like a 636 pal..lmao
My first bike was a zxr400. Love the idea of a 250 with 60bhp and I bet it will corner like a dream. Look forward to seeing more on this bike.
I've been hoping smaller capacity inline 4's would make a comeback. I'm surprised it has taken this long. They are more suitable for hot climates than bigger sportsbikes which cook the rider in summer. I'll be lining up for this one.
Every now and then, Kawasaki brings out a classic.....this 4 cylinder is another one. And I’m old enough to remember the many 4 cylinder bikes of old. I’ve still got a GSX Special Edition Suzuki 1400!!!!!!!!
Nothing can express the joy of the old 250 Lc
Just nothing reaches the soul like a 250 2 stroke Or 4 stroke
Love from Scotland 🏴
I would like this 60 hp version ,in the eu market,...….finally maybe we will start to see better light bikes…...thanks Kawasaki and MOTOBOB
Ludovico Sestilli 58 i think
wont't work as an A2 bike tho
@@Daniel-dj7fh you can restrict any bike up to 93hp (70kw) and ride it as an A2 bike (35kw). Plenty of people do this and even dealerships offer this option, for instance on 650cc ninjas, cbr650rs, mt07 etc. Not too difficult to de-restrict when you need more power :)
@@180FiftyFive touché why wasnt that in my brain when i commented
@@180FiftyFive yea, you're right. for some reason that didnt come up to my mind at that time
I'm an 81-year-old biker who made showings at Daytona Fla, the USA on Suzuki 500 twin and I'm really liking this the Kawacka ZX-25R 250cc inline-four I'm really want to own one and ride it often! I know I just do not heal as easily as I did when I much younger. But still love the thrill of the ride. I don't have much time to go as life goes but, this would make a great closing to life!
Bring it to the USA. I won’t care about the price.
@Chaldean King already have a 600 and it'd be fun to piss off liter bike riders by leaving em in the twisties on a 250
R3's are already giving bigger bike's hell in the corners, and you can't hold open a 600 or a litre bike like a smaller bike. 2 more cylinders and a higher rpm with some more go go juice, depending on the road / track layout I don't see these having as much as an issue to keep up maybe even pass and should be less to insure giving weight and engine size. A good exhaust / intake and a tune might even suprise you.
@Chaldean King an inline 4 250cc bike is a different beast.
@Chaldean King because 19k rpm is fun as hell and it's a big flex to have one. My 636 pushes 125hp, this bike would push more than half that with a tune and weigh 100 lbs less. That's absolutely nuts and it'd be way more fun to ride
I echo your sentiments from Australia. Don’t be silly Kawasaki, send it world wide.
I'm glad you mentioned all the late 80's to 90's Big 4 250 inline bike's. So many people have no idea this isn't a new concept and Kawasaki was not the first to develop such a bike. In fact they were the last to join in back then, can't wait for an actual specs breadown and price
MotoBob, you said there was 2 videos of it running or in action ... I'd love to check it out
Not in action. Just two press videos of it atthe show which I used in this edit
Although my biking days are over I find this bike very interesting. I think what would make it a winner in the UK is if it had reasonable insurance. It’s lighter weight would make it less intimidating for riders of smaller stature whilst retaining big bike looks. Thanks again for the video. Regards, Bob M.
Cheers bob. Yeah I think riding a lightweight 250 with 60hp would make for more fun on the road than the bigger bikes, absolutely
I agree fully but I still want the Aprilia RS660 more. If it can be A2 restricted I’m buying one come April no questions asked
76 years old and dragging knees thru Prescott, Arizona! What fun!
I am absolutely, massively hyped about this pocket rocket. Huge respect for Kawasaki for having the drive to create this little marvel no one asked for, especially if they sell it in North America. Still love my ZX-6R though hahah
I think this bike could be really cool. The old FZR 400 was one of my favorites in the 80s. A modern inline 4 400 would be even better.
Exactly what i was thinking. I defiantly think a 400cc version with the same chassis setup and what not making around 60hp and only 12,000rpms would be better in the long run. Either way this bike is cool as hell glad they are bringing back the small super bike class back.
Bring back the good old times, yeah ! I will definitely buy one.
should be a big winner! The big large displacement 150+ hp bikes exceeded most riders skill levels a long time age. anyone can ride off on a 200hp bike, but mastering it and controlling it is something else. I have my Harley and a V65 for my adrenaline rush. recently added a tw200 to my collection and enjoy running it around on the back roads and jeep roads. not always about speed.
It looks so much better than ZX6R and the 400
Ali Kazi Right!
as someone who bought a 400 sorta recently but not recently enough to take it back, i'm fucking crying
@@raulreyes2384 how much better is the zx25r vis the 400?
@@GeorgeLista zx25r is slow. Only good at the 5th gear but by that time, Ninja 400 is already miles away.
anyone who has Ridden Sub 500 inline 4 Cylinder bike will jump with joy to see this. Just like me. Having ridden CB400 4, i always used to think, how this kinda engine might feel with the modern tech thats available today. But there was no one who dared to build such an engine, till this bike broke cover. The desire Quotient on this bike is much higher than anything i would wanna have. Just wanna see it on a naked bike.
I love what I'm seeing. So yes I love my 1000cc as much as the next guy but this ZX25R will seemingly bring back the mid-ninties magic from the 250 and 400cc sportbike. I can't wait to ride this. Instant classic it will be.
I currently own a 95 ZXR 250 and I can tell you this has me excited! I just hope they get brought to the uk , who doesn’t love low weight high power! 🤘
Yes! I am 50... and knew old small 4 cylinders... it’s like 2 strokes is coming back😀👍🏻!!... it will sounds almost like it or 400 bandit. It’s super cool !
When 350/400 fours were cheap old bombs.
OMFG - Bring it to the UK!!! I used to have a 1989 CBR250r inline 4 cylinder and it was an awesome little screamer with a 19k RPM redline!!! I'm over 40 years old and I'd have one of these in an instant.
I'd definetly pay for this, I typically only ride bigger bikes, hayabusa and speed triple but been looking for nice 250 to rack miles up on and this is perfect
yeah I like it because it isn't designed with beginners in mind. I want to stick with small bikes but there aren't any small bikes that have real sportbike ergonomics except for the duke 390 but I won't give up a cylinder for that thing. I always have wanted a four cylinder but I can't afford insurance on a 600.
@@sed8181 exactly ^^^
@@sed8181 if your in the EU a lot of the 90s 400CCs bikes can be had.
@@benclimo461 I'm in the US so we didn't get a whole lot of them. the only faired 400 was the fzr400 I think. They all are hidden away somewhere or junked because I have never seen one up for sale ever. There was a legally imported mc22 that showed up a while back but it went back into hiding. Most of those weren't really legally imported anyway.
@@sed8181 ahh that's unfortunate. I'm in the UK and see them being put up here and there, most of them go for around £2500-5000 at least.
This is exactly the bike we need, a bike that’s light, advanced, quick, not too quick though, and incredible sounding. Great work Kawasaki!
Bring to US pls
Yea this would be a fun bike in town, not dangerously fast but just enough to have fun going through the gears
The level of want I have for this motorcycle is un-"paralleled."
You, sir, are a cunning linguist...lol
Badoom-Tishh! 🥁
This bike will be a winner. I'm on a K1300 R, (BEAST !) & I'm thinking this 250 will be a great transition bike and a stepping stone to the bigger classes. IMHO Kawasaki are making the best looking bikes on the planet. Several decades ago I bought a new Kawasaki Z 1 900 Jaffa so maybe I'm biased.
Hell, yes. And I’m 65 years old!
This is not to be related to age, it is all about soul, which is immortal.
Ronnie Franks what does your age have anything to do with this?
I"m with ya Ronnie, you have to be over 60 to remember the history of what we"ve lost to time
@@xxthehuskycaboosexx i think what he is getting at is market demographics most guys his age gravitate to big bagger Harleys so hes just making a point that it appeals to the older crowd as well.
@@xxthehuskycaboosexx As I'm approaching Ronnie's age one thing I can tell you age has to do with it, is contorting your body for long into the shape required for these sports bikes :) unless you are vertically challenged :). However mature riders remembering the 250's of our youth cannot help but get excited as we are taken back to the times of our teens with hot 250's and 350 or 400 versions of the same bike being the one that had the performance we yearned for. Despite growing older I can say after 43 years of riding, it still gives me the same thrill and grin in the helmet it always did. While I can still throw a leg over the saddle of something I'll keep riding for as long as I can.
I would buy it tomorrow if it was made in the US. I know someone else, to this but I agree 100%. I love small displacement bikes and this thing will be literally be the king of canyons
Well done Kawasaki, that’s a great looking bike and will probably sound amazing buzzing along at very high RPM with an open pipe 👌
This is most exciting news in 2019!!!!
19k RPM redline? That just screams..." Put a turbo on me!! ". I'm down for it! That's also a MEAN looking 250CC bike. Like it's telling the world. " I'm the baddest 250 CC bike and don't you forget it! ".
Kawasaki ahead of the curve again knowing what riders want.
Great to see Kawasaki bringing something different to the party ... Awesome bike!
I just want one. It looks nice glad they finally made something from the 90s it will be nice to hear in person
Gotta realise it in Australia or I'm moving to Indonesia. Would sell my Triumph speed triple for it fam.
I've been running a 2008 Ninja 250 in my garage for the past 12 years. It never made sense for me to upgrade simply for fuel injection. But THAT 250 makes my heart jump!!!! I want one!!!!!
Wow, this takes me back as I was around during the 90's grey craze! Although the 90's 250 where far higher spec (relatively) than the ninja 250, often costing more than the 600s, which is what killed them off eventually. And screaming the engine was all you could do with them! I rode a GSXR400 and it made absolutely bugger all power until at least 9000 was on the tacho, and only really pulled above 12000! I couldn't cope with the abuse but my mates seemed to love them 😮
So probably not a good city bike then? Haha
@@motobob not unless you like revving a bike away from every set of lights like it's the start of moto gp. On the upside, in wet weather, if you keep it under 7000 revs it's probably making less power than a scooter so you'll never highside it.....
@@robbikebob sounds like exactly what you would want. i loved my 250rrs they screamed everywhere
This is not a bike , it is a jewel! I hope Kawasaki understands it has to be market worldwide! I ride a 600 cc 4 cylinder bike and it is to much! I would love to ride a 250 cc up to date 4 in line Kawasaki! In fact now I am riding a vintage Honda CB 400/4 , it is a lot of fun, but unfortunately I can not commit to a 45 year old bike for safety reasons, obviously.
I would buy it, no doubt!
I really really like the idea of this, I hope it comes to the UK... and I hope they have one at the NEC Motorcycle Live bike show next month!

My opinion is that this will be the new king of A2 bikes. In this day and age there are several models that would suffice the needs of average new rider, but you'll get bored of them quickly as you gain experience and want more from it.
I think this will be easy to ride in town with plenty of power on open road while also economical on fuel and cheap on insurance, not to mention the sound... I'm liking it already, and would surely buy one even if it comes at a price premium for this ccm range. Well done Kawasaki, you've nailed it with this model.
Of it comes to the uk I’ll buy two. One for road one for track. Nice to see Kawasaki going back to the good old days.
I want one. Those old school 250s were and still are awesome
I'd pay 10k USD for this premium practical bike and use all of it's 249cc. Please come to America!
$10k is the sweet spot for this bike.
@@hby7768 I agree because it's way more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a 600-1000cc slow
$10k is too much. The zx6r is $10k. This needs to be less to draw those who think a new 600cc is already too much. I’d say $7k. That’s an awesome price point.
@Chaldean King I like this 250 better 😁
@Chaldean King doesn't matter what I say because you'll never understand 😁
Please release in the UK I had a 1991 Honda CBR 250 RR. Will buy this as soon as they release it.
This has to be, without a doubt, the meanest looking 250 I've ever seen
It looks like an angry bug...

Picked it up on Feb 14th, 1985. It was my first new bike. I wish I still had it.
Wow, I really hope this comes to the US sometime . Would love to own one.
Awesome! Riding this will only gain you more skill and more confidence. Spinning anything to 20k rpm is fun. If i cant get a 2t id want this!! Plus it look amazing!!! I love it!!!

Needs to come to the US. That would be a awesome bike all around. Commuter weekend and track riding.
Looking forward to seeing the full specs, prices and whether or not it will be available in the UK.
Will keep my eyes peeled for any information
I think it is really funny that every country seems to be asking this question. kawasaki only said worldwide or international depending on translation but what does that mean. kawasaki is teasing hard.
This is the way to go imo , price ,weight, fun. Why wouldn't you want one . Please Kawasaki can we have it too. Great review thanks
So Kawasaki is building a Premium 250 CC Bike .. Make a race class for these bikes only .. just like the did with the RD and RZ-350 Yamaha 35-50 years ago ..
motogp already has a 250 class.
@@thinkdunson Seems the Spec class of today is for the KTM 390 single cylinder bike .. I don't follow GP but I know at one time they had a class for 50 cc 100 cc 125 cc 250 cc ect..
@@thinkdunson Moto 3 is 250cc, but restricted to a single cylinder I believe under current rules to keep costs down. World Superbikes WSP300 is confusingly for up to 400cc at least as the Ninja 400 is homologated, but I don't know what restrictions there are on the number of cylinders etc. in that currently most are twins, but being based on production machinery that's basically all there is to choose from. If legal then I can imagine a 400 version of this being available soon, that really would be a nice little machine.
Got exited for a second there as I thought it was going to be a 2 stroke 250, sadly not.
I had a Suzuki RGV 250M in the early 90's and that bike was so good it was frightening. Made the same power as the Kawasaki ZX25R in the video BUT weighed 40 kilos less.
Bring back 2 strokes!!!!
Brilliant video thanks I would buy one in UK when it comes here.👍🇬🇧🍻
Cheers Dave appreciate it
Yeah definitely. Waiting for its release here in south east asia. I've been waiting for this kind of bike for ages. I don't need to have a bigger liter bikes. I just want to have this. Wow. Super excited... Thank you kawasaki. That's why i am an avid fan of yours.
This bike doesn't make me depressed thinking about choices for first bike other than ktms and maybe the mt 07 this is the only interesting beginner bike and i think the only 4 cylinder excluding cb650

I want it!! Kawasaki please bring this to the US!
Imagining riding it on the road would be awesome... handsome agile screamer... I'm lucky enough to have 2 zxr250 1996... they sounded so much better than most of the 1000cc bike... looking forward to get one of this zx25r in the future..
Absolutely in love with it! Sign me up. I think I would pay more however I wouldn't want to but definitely worth it for that something special!
Modern sport bikes are so overpowered that you can only access a small fraction of their potential without losing your license. I love the idea of a smaller displacement even lighter sport bike, that isn't too powerful for the street yet doesn't lose it's high rpm fire breathing nature.
I’d rather own the 60hp 250cc in-line 4 over the 400cc twin. I’ve got a feeling this might see a release on Australian shores too !!
@shadrock99 hahaha it's mispelled and not miss pelled !! Let me guess? Miss school??
Hello from California. I would definitely buy one. I had a 2007 250 Ninja it was way to fun. This looks great. Hope they come toUSA
The 1990s all over again, I hope Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki do the same and I hope the 400cc multi cylinders are brought back.
I have a ninja 250 that I ride about 7k a year on vacations from Denver as far as Pennsylvania. About 46k miles. 7k rpm at 70 mph, 70 mpg! I run Rotella synthetic lube. Fantastic bike.
Ill sacrifice my r3 for this bike..if this one commin out in our country..hopefully😄😄😄
Kawasaki even doing what others haven’t been for a long time.
When they started the GPZ series
they made the GPZ 305
which was a 250cc- 300cc two stroke 4 cylinder twin engine
Like a big bike made small.
it’s only 400 pounds.
So Kawasaki is no stranger to the 250cc
They do it better than anybody
Release april 2020 in indonesia, IDR 95000000 - 120000000 (depends on the model).
It will be 2 model.
Indonesian kawasaki local dealer is opening for purchase order.
I'd love to see smaller to mid displacement inline fours come back in a big way, particularly in the retro classic genre. I'd love a retro classic bike wtih a modern 250-300cc inline four to mess around on the backroads of North Carolina here (where The Tail of the Dragon is just the one with the public awareness among many, many others that do not).
When you can buy an F1 screamer, who cares about the CC. Good work Kawi.
hey friend, bought one of these four-cylinder motorcycles that are available in Japan on the Gray market. You didn’t tell me the displacement when I first took it for a ride through the country. He rode one of his 600s and I rode his 250 Kawasaki four-cylinder. When we took a break, he asked me what I thought. I told him what a delight it is., but I just couldn’t take it to red line which was 19,000 RPMs. I thought it was a 400, I was very surprised that it was only at 250.. this was back in the 90s. Here in 2023, he still has that bike. He asked me if I wanted to buy it from him a couple years ago.
I had a zx2 back in the late 90s, I’d love to have a ride of this!
You are a lucky man
For indonesia kawasaki is the pioneer on the small displacement sportbike, they started it with ninja 250 twin paralel with carburetor in 2009 or 2010, and now they introduce the 250 4inline. Really hope the other japanese brand to catch up with kawasaki tho 😊
Bring it to the US and my Racers will put it on the Top Step!!!
This has me excited and with so many good used bikes out there I dont usually think about buying new bikes.
My good Sir, I live in Jamaica dream of owning a bike and would go Kawasaki just because they do it radically different: my point is......I also would buy one yesterday. Sweet, neat all go looking 25hard.
This is super worth it to buy imagine all the specs of a 600cc bike they put on this bike,traction control,abs,inline4,up to 19k rpm,quick shifter,power modes again to put all that on 250cc bike is difinitly amazing
Nice bike.
I'm looking forward to the forced induction smaller capacity bikes said to be in the pipeline for a few years now.
A super or turbo charged 400/4 would be fun.
Really nice video.. from India.. for me love for zx25r is phenomenal..
Thanks mate!
60hp 250 very impressive. Bring it to USA.
Lol a Honda RS 250 2-stroke 250 has 90-100 hp.
@@mattiasandersson3444 What year will Honda release a new one of those in America? :-)

I hope this one will come to the philippine markets. Im a 90s born. I love to ride this someday. Wish this will be my 2nd japanese bike. I had already a gsx gixxer 155 suzuki still screaming good as bad ass
Tbh, it's a good thing for me. It'll let me save up for a bit so I can get it while it's hot.
Brutal bike - aggressive looks, brutal data - that's how Kawasaki has always been. I like Kawasaki !!!!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
This sounds incredible. I had a 2010 250, and am looking to buy an 80/90s cbr. (Now on a v strom 1000)
I would 100% have this over a 400. Its screams character and I will definitely be taking one for a test drive if they bring it to the UK
It just needs one more disc on the other side of front wheel to give it that thorough bred look..
Sure, add weight for no reason.
@@truantray I'd sooner buy it with double discs rather than one single disc...double discs look way better...hands down...if its reported 60ps...it would need em in my opinion...look at the aprilia rs 250....front wheel looks empty on one side...I'd gladly accept a couple of lbs to fill the gap and increase breaking power and outbreak the 300 and 400 easy!!
I ride a 09 250 kaw I really love this new 25r looks amazing can't wait to see one up close 😍
Me too🙋🏽
finally an inline four I can red line on the streets . . vrroomm
Yes, screaming rpm = doomed for a crash, on city riding!
Kawasaki you NEED to bring this to USA. We haven’t had an awesome 250 classed bike in ages. Tons of us have been dreaming of a in-line 250cc screamer built in true sport bike trim. Some of us like hitting turns more than trying to do 200mph I’m a straight line. If you think you won’t sell enough cuz we don’t have cc classed licenses you’re WRONG!
If this comes out in the US at a decent price this is definitely gonna be my next bike.
Oh yeah ... This coming from a guy who has a 16 cbr 500r and was looking at a 19 Cbr 650...
But I want a low displacement 4 cylinder so bad tho
