After its international market debut in Indonesia, the 2020 Kawasaki ZX-25R has had a second launch, this time in neighbouring Thailand. Unveiled during the Bangkok International Motor Show, the ZX-25R sports bike is priced at 269,000 baht (RM36,450).
Unlike the Indonesia market which gets two versions, Thailand riders only get one, the SE version which comes standard with ABS and quick shifter. Colours choices for our northern neighbour are also limited to two – black with red frame or Kawasaki green – unlike Indonesia which comes with one option for the standard version and three for the ZX-25R SE.
As written about in the Indonesia launch, the ZX-25R comes with an inline four-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC mill displacing 249.8 cc and produces 51 PS at 15,500 rpm (with Ram Air) and 22.9 Nm of torque at 14,500 rpm. The quick shifter equipped six-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch will propel the ZX025R to a top speed of 197 km/h.
Despite only having 250 cc, the ZX-25R comes with technology more commonly seen in larger displacement sports bikes like two ride modes, Full or Low, KTRC traction control and electronic throttle valves. Also standard on the ZX-25R is am immobiliser system.
Braking is done with a single 310 mm diameter disc with monobloc calliper on the front wheel while the rear wheel uses a 220 mm calliper. Suspension on the ZX-25R uses upside-down SFF-BP forks in 37 mm diameter in front, non-adjustable, while the rear Back-Link horizontal monoshock comes with preload adjustment.
Kawasaki says the ZX-25R weighs 182 kg and fuel is carried in a 15-litre tank, some three litres more than is typical for motorcycles in the quarter-litre class, perhaps indicating the ZX-25R is a somewhat thirsty machine. In Indonesia, the ZX-25R Standard is priced at 96 million rupiah (RM28,427) while the ZX-25R SE goes for 112.9 million rupiah (RM33,431).

Our over price King Kapzai also can hit 200km/h with spec 65mm modification. :)
Yes, but bike price 10k, standard top speed 136kmh. To be able to hit 200, you will need to spend a minimum of 10k up to 15k with new ECU, oversized throttle body, injector, sports exhaust, ignition coil etc.. Total around 25k
Standard fuel tank is only 4.2 litre, max can mod is 7 litres.
And you don’t get the stability of zx chassis nor its sportier suspension and brakes set up
it’s not about can hit the speed or not. even hit 200kmh, at what % RPM engine capacity? even zx25r will rosak easily maintaining 190kmh for 1 hour. what about kapcai. life is not about getting it one time about sustainability. if u talk about get some time then u r potential of being a RICER(aesthetic modification that doesnt match the actual performance)
For that kind of money i rather top up a bit to get the CB650..This 250cc inline4 is a high revving bike that powerband only come from mid to high rev..Even the two cylinders 250cc is more practical..Unless you wanna it for weekend usage or 2nd bike..The choice is yours..If the cc is 400cc i might consider
