I've watched tons of new videos coming on youtube about the Kawasaki ZX-25R, and i want one even more...i hope this machine eventually comes to Australia.
It's the only bike i want, and would complement my Yamaha Aerox 155, being the best in there respective segments.
P.S. Rumors of a Yamaha R25M (4 Cylinder) to compete against the Kwaka, also excites me a lot.

While waiting for this super 1/4 litre to arrive, here's a little video to whet your appetite.

I think we can safely assume this will be the case. This bike is going against the progress of emissions standards. That was one of the reasons low cc bikes switched to 2 pot configurations.
I'm no expert, but based on the Indonesian prices of the Ninja 250 2018 onwards, my guess is that the ZX25R would be priced around RM32~35k before OTR if it gets into Malaysian market. That would put it in the same category as Z650 and Honda's 500s. Of course, we'd probably get the Standard version.

Under 30k is what most Malaysians are hoping for but I think it's very unlikely unless Kawasaki Malaysia pulls some strings.

Add another 10k can get CB650R biggrin.gif

If you ask me, there is still market for this bike for those that are lazy to take Bfull license but personally it's not worth it.

250 doesn't make much sense with our infrastructure to be honest, if it's a much smaller country with a lot of nice twisty mountain roads then it would be fine... highway cruising, no replacement for displacement.

But it won't rev to 15k. Haha

There is a market for extremely small, light and stratospheric revving powerful sportsbikes, not just for licensing requirements.

I used to own a FZR400. Another 4 cyc small displacement bike. 14000rpm sounds awesome.

These small 4 pots are fun toys, but the powerband does not lend itself well for day to day use.

But for most of us the CB650 and Gsx750 is a good budget 4 pot that sounds awesome.

RM10k might be seriously too much a stretch for many. For some, even stretching the loan by RM5k is too much already. So, yes, there will still be a market for it and for thm, it would really be worth it. And you're right about the entry level income bikers not wanting to take the B license - more money needed to take the course and get the license. Plus, who knows, this bike may hold its value well as it is the only 4-cylinder 250cc sport bike in the market (not a sport tourer) and could be a collector's item one day.

I was at Sepang to watch and listen to this thing scream in the Kawasaki booth. They set up a dyno where you could try it out, but I didn't get a chance to due to time constraints. sad.gif

Even if it is not practical, this bike is amazing. Not only because it is going to be the only one of its kind left in the near future, but also because of all the stuff they put in it like the TFT display, ride by wire, QS and so on. 'Tambah sikit dapat ...' and 'no replacement for displacement' bikers need not apply.

To whoever is saving up for one: all the best to you.

i did the dyno. you get 2 change to test.

1st round they ask to rev until 6k and shift to get the feel
2nd round thay say rev until the end

in my case i get 3rd chance because in my 2nd i didn't hit top speed nor rev limiter

I'm excited for this bike. But after kawasaki going to work with modenas. I was like....... it will take more time for it to arrive here in malaysia.

So I just gave up on it. I save enough now to buy cb650r.
So I'm going for that instead.
