With the previous video in the series from Kawasaki Indonesia showing the 2020 Kawasaki ZX-25R being started and warmed up, the next video in the series shows Kawasaki’s quarter-litre, four-cylinder sports bike doing the dyno. The sound of the ZX-25R, fitted with a Yoshimura exhaust and anodised aluminium rear sets, is fit to stir the soul.
The technician winds the the ZX-25R through the gears with a redline shift everytime till it reaches peak power. The anti-climax is no power numbers are shown, which means waiting till the official launch of the ZX-25R in Indonesia.
The inline-four of the ZX-25R does mimic the sound of a much larger machine, much like its predecessor, the ZX-2, despite displacing only 250 cc. As in the previous video in the series, the blue flame emanating from the exhaust on the overrun when the shows the ZX-25R’s engine has the potential to be modded for some serious power.
Coming with an inline, four-cylinder, 250 cc in a sports bike chassis and spinning up to 17,000 rpm, the ZX-25R is capable of speeds above 160 km/h. This was shown during testing at Jerez, Spain with Kawasaki World Superbike riders Jonathan Rea and Alex Lowes taking it out on the track.
Standard equipment on the ZX-25R includes 37 mm diameter Showa SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork – Big Piston) upside forks and horizontal Back-Link monoshock at the back. Also part of the ZX-25R’s performance package is a quickshifter, riding modes and traction control.

I wish we also had a superbike, pity we sold MV Augusta for Euro $1
I see you’re not so good at giving half truths to paint a different picture. You conveniently forgot about the other part of that €1 sale that is €140 million debt that comes with it.
I thought you RBAs are supposed to good at this???
Kawasaki please bring this in to Malaysia. Even if priced RM30k still worth it. This is more fun to ride than most 500-600cc 2-cylinder bikes out there.
What exactly is “more fun to ride” in your opinion?
Wow, listen to the sound.. not much difference to the higher cc engine..
that sound…. WOW…. the best sound ever for 250cc i ever….
nothing beats Honda Ex-5
