Years ago I had fzr250. It revved to 19000 and sounded similar. It had 45hp but I wouldn't have called it slow. It was still faster than most cars to 100mph

[@Kumyar]

People comparing car accelerarion to motorcycle acceleration are so wierd. Yes a bike will be faster then most of the cars you come across on the street. If we take this bike and Europe for example; where a typicall car is a 2.0 diesel making 150hp and 320Nm of torque. This is usually a Golf so lets take a Golf 7 for its weight. ~1354kg. All this gives it a power to weight ratio of 0.1108hp/kg This Kawasaki makes 51hp and 23Nm of torque while having a weight of 182kg; all this gives it a power to weight ratio of 0.28 hp/kg(without a rider) That is more then double the hp/kg this Zx-25R gets Taking in the riders weight of 80kg in equation; 0.1947. still more then a car without a driver. The bike will almost always win. In order for a car to win in hp/kg race, it needs ~400hp (Both without drivers/riders). You dont see many cars in your daily commute with such performance numbers. People oight to stop comparing apples to display fruit. Thank you for joining my TedTalk.

[@EndTimeDreams]

I had the same bike 1987 FZR250R inline four.

[@PrimoStracciatella]

Years ago I had a VTR250 in Thailand. It'doesn't rev that high but the V twin engine also sounds great, lots of fun of going through the gears, sounding like a Ducati, but still riding legal speeds.

[@EndTimeDreams]

A lot of people don't realize that inline-four 250's aren't a new idea. The Japanese made them in the 80's and 90's for their domestic market. In New Zealand we used to import them they were everywhere. I had the 1987 Honda CBR250R (look it up) 45hp 16 valve double over head cam, it would red-line at 18,000 rpm. I had the 1987 Yamaha FZR250R as well. They still sell them in New Zealand. Kawasaki made this bike back in 1989 it was called the ZXR250R (LOOK IT UP). They stopped making inline-four 250's around the late 90's. The inline-four 250cc bikes I have seen in New Zealand SUZUKI GSXR-250R/RR/SP HONDA CBR250R/RR/Fireblade YAMAHA FZR250R KAWASAKI ZXR250R/RR SUZUKI Bandit 250 HONDA Hornet 250 SUZUKI Katana 250 SUZUKI Across 250

[@jeladsnikpoh1289]

Feb 1st is the Grand Reveal! The teaser shots show a small sportbike under a cover with the same wheels as this and Ninja 400! I believe the ZX4r will be the 'Goldilocks' for small displacement 4cyl power and screaming RPMs. From what I've heard, the ZX4r engine is based on the 25r engine, punched out to just under 400cc's. I guestimate around 70+hp compared to 25r 45-50hp, and much needed torque boost. I hope it revs as high, but probably be a tad less. I don't think it'll compete against Kawi's own Ninja 400, as that's more of a budget, higher torque, lower HP beginner sportbike. I imagine the ZX4r to get to 60 in approx 3.2sec, and cost somewhere around $8k US, hopefully less!? Downsides compared to Ninja 400 (parallel-twin) will be less low-end torque, worse MPG, higher price, higher weight. Upsides are everything else- much higher horsepower, awesome screaming redline, smoother, performance suspension and brakes, Ram-air, different drive modes, more tech- if your into that thing. Likely my next bike!

[@CubularCreeper]

@@jeladsnikpoh1289 It seems like track bikes are starting to become popular in the States now though, the KTM RC390 is selling really well. Maybe Kawasaki will get in on that and bring over these beauties? Or at least the zx-4 should sell better than imagined.

[@emmettturner9452]

@@zx-25rjourney76 The most solid evidence is still the patents which show the ZX-25R aerodynamics were developed for a 400cc bike. Very recently Young Machine Magazine reportedly saw it being tested on Japanese roads with an updated upper fairing and a larger exhaust. Kawasaki is also developing a ZX-7R. I’ve heard completely unrelated reports that they they will drop the ZX-6R for the next model year, which makes sense because it leaves more room for a ZX-4R. This will help differentiate them from their competition too. Currently, anyone who wants a 600cc-class supersport bike can chose between Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, which doesn’t leave much market share for Kawasaki. If they discontinue the ZX-6R and introduce ZX-4R and ZX-7R, then anyone who wants a little more or a little less than the competition will choose Kawasaki. This also works at the high end: Anyone wanting a bit less than a literbike but a bit more than the 600cc bikes can get the ZX-7R. Anyone wanting a bit more than a literbike can get a supercharged Kawasaki H2. ;) If this really is the plan, I think it’s a smart move even though I’d be happy with a more affordable ZX-25R.

I'd take the zx25r over any 600 or 1000cc bike any day of the week. I''m even mentally debating if I'd take the 25 over the zx4r which is suppsoed to come out soon because it's got ~80hp which are also borderline unuseable. My cb500f does 90kmh in second. Ripping through 1st is debateable fun because of the gear ratio, but you could rip 2nd fully shift to third and would technically be "illegal", half legal would be ripping 3rd too. But 4, 5 and 6 are unusable. Sure I could go on the Autobahn, but what's the fun riding in a straight line?

[@anantakashkhalkho3017]

This bike is no more stock, it has akrapovic full system exhaust in it which is in the costlier side... KTM RC AND DUKE[390] series is also good for fun,race tracks and leisure ridings. Mileage,speed,traffic rules depends on which country or state you live in.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@anantakashkhalkho3017 The Akrapovic pipe does nothing but add cost and maybe abit sound without a tune. Sure you could get an rc390, but that's 3 cylinders away from being in inline4. Not saying you can't have fun with those tho, it's just that this one has a very special configuration. Most countries limit town speeds to 30-50kmh, backroads 50-100kmh, and highway 100-140kmh (yes even on the Autobahn, here even 80kmh sometimes believe it or not). And considering the general speed limits, being able to half wring out the gears whilst not going 100+kmh in first gear after 3-5s is quite nice.
