      @@aeror115 Would be really fun. Since the 600ccm 4 cylinder sports bikes vanished from the European market, there hasn't been a replacement. The R7 is simply not the same. But I honestly doubt we'll get a ZX4R in Europe due to the emissions' regulations.

    Hello. I live in México city and I have a ZX25R (1 of 20) It's certainly a fantastic bike. As you say, it makes you feel the technological development of the large displacement but with the rationality or a fairly manageable 250 cc.

This would be such a riot in the city and especially at a race track. Bring these to north America!!!! Sounds like they are thinking about bring the 400 version of this to North America so will have to see how that goes, id rather have the smaller displacement version myself though!

    Good review! I love the idea of modern technology applied to smaller displacements. Parallel twins don’t appeal to me in most applications. Not much character in a machine that requires so much interaction with the engine. It’s half the experience. I’ve always loved physically small motorcycles.

  • @LewdDarling
    @LewdDarling ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't think displacement sells so much as the fact that in the US we get around mainly by highways where people are going anywhere from 65mph to 90mph. The old 250ccs were underpower at that speed and lacked power necessary for passing or speeding out of sketchy situations. The zx25r has like 20 more hp than those older 250s which fixes the main issue

    In Australia we are limited to bikes that don’t make more than 150KW per ton as part of the 4 years it takes to get a unrestricted motorcycle licence, so more than half the motorcycle on the roads in are 300cc or lower I reckon. They could make a killing if they can get them into this market the only good bikes you can ride as a learner in aus is the 1990’s cbr250rr or the vfr400 good luck finding one that hasn’t been thrashed.

    • @notanicename

      Thrashed or not, those 1990 CBRs are the king. 250cc can’t really be thrashed anyway and they’re quite reliable. I like how zx25r is the new version of these old bikes, problem is, it’s way too heavy :/.

      My first bike was a grey import '90 CBR 250RR. Best bike ever. Was awesome on the road, and even better on the track. Its still in the shed, albeit in many pieces. My second bike was actually a Baluis as mentioned in the vid. Much more tame and more suited for the city. I've got my full license now, but I'd still love to get my hands on the ZX250R even just for an afternoon to compare to the old school CBR.

    I live in America, and don't believe the 25r is ever coming here. That being said, rumors about the ZX4r coming here are about to be fulfilled in a couple days! Patents and emissions-testing papers 'leaked' indicate a 400cc inline-4 sportbike, and Kawi is introducing a couple new models on Feb 1st! (one is clearly a small sportbike under a cover) Wheels appear to be same as Ninja 400. I was disappointed about the lack of a ZX25r, until I heard about the ZX4r based on the same bike and engine. I like the slightly 'more Goldilocks' power output, while still being a low torque, relative high-HP, screaming inline4. Appears it'll make somewhere around 70+hp and should weigh about the same as the ZX25r. Very excited, I may be seeing my next bike unveiled any day!
