So far still too soon to see how much the 490 will cost but it won't be cheap considering the 390 triplets already cost north of 30k. The Chinese version will likely be quite a fair bit less. Probably around 30k

With the expected price of the ZX25r coming in around 40k, it might be worthwhile comparison. Yes the kawa has half the capacity, double the cyc count but similar power. For a sportsbike, I think the high revving ZX25r might be more compelling, but for a daily bike, bigger capacity twins will be more.usable.

Ultimately, it depends on what you want to use the bike for.
