A few questions...would it match the performance of the old 90's version now that it has to comply with EURO emission regulations? and the key questions which all want to know the answers are, the price and finally, will it even be sold here...

Seems like there are 2 specs, 45hp and 59hp. 45hp would be similar to the old one, which peaks at 15k RPM, and presuming the 59hp one peaks at similar amount of torque, that's around 19~20k RPM.
my kampung maths: (59/45) * 15k = 19.67k

If the intended market is not Europe, EuroV won't hold it back.

Pricing wise, I would speculate to fill the void between 50~60k given the specs that it is. I would not think this bike is priced to sell, more like a marque:
Ninja 400 - 28~39k
Ninja 650 - 35k
Ninja 1000 - 82k

Z900 - 46k
Z1000 - 78k

ZXR250 - 50~55k (up to 62k based on JPY 1.0M)
ZX6R - 80k (JPY 1.27M)
ZX10R - 100k

The ZXR250 is like the ZX6R minus the CC, shorter stroke and higher rev. Like compare ZX6R and ZX10R, with the 6R having higher rev range.

The sound of small CC at 20k RPM... of course some like it, some won't.

Crazy at 50k, at that price plenty of better bikes

Maybe I'm wrong, it's without race chassis, single sided front brakes, BP-SFF front fork, and maybe budget 3 way rear suspension, it can even pass for MYR 30-40k.

did the latest model come to Malaysia? Or, just the old CB4. that's with Vtec, right?

Kwak's can rebadge this as Modenas ZXR250, and sell at 30k. Oh man... it's would be tempting.

I think it will be more expensive here.

"The 250cc inline-four sports bike will start at $15,990 plus on-roads, pushing it way above the likes of Kawasaki's Ninja 400 learner machine and only a few grand away from the ZX-636 supersports."

The NZ source mentioned it is on pre-order, and if the quantity is not met, they won't get the bike. Malaysia? Maybe easier, considering it might (a big maybe) be assembled here.

CBR400RR or maybe VFR400 are good contenders.

Dyno run claims to show 41.8bhp at 15000RPM.

The original ZXR250 made 45 horses at 15,000RPM.

2-stroke 250s like the RGV250 & RS250 pushed out 70 horses at 12000RPM.... if you can keep feeding em expensive synthetic 2T....

Original one dyno got ~38bhp. But of course there are different results out there.
2 stroke powerband, we all know la, haha... under 7k kosong punya.
