Kawasaki Motors Japan will launch the 2027 models of its 249cc inline-four supersports, the Ninja ZX-25R SE and Ninja ZX-25RR, on August 1. The ZX-25R SE gets a new color while the ZX-25RR carries over its existing colors. Pricing starts at ¥1,014,200.
The thrill of wringing a 250 four-cylinder all the way to redline is a totally different animal from a liter bike. The ZX-25RR has the makings of something special on track. Starting at ¥1,014,200 is a fair price when you consider it's a 250 with four cylinders. Feel that rev-happy sensation coming out of a corner — it's addictive.

For the same money, wouldn't the ZX-4RR be faster and more fun?
The 25R's sensuality of revving up to 17,000rpm is a totally different animal from the 4RR.
Never thought the era of buying a new 250 inline-four would come back, reminds me of the Balius.
The Balius was a liquid-cooled inline-four, in terms of lineage the current ZX-25R sits pretty close to it.
The ZX-25R's four-cylinder sound is the best. I want one even at that price.
The SE just gets new colors, the RR even keeps the same color, so it's effectively just a color change.
1,014,200 yen for a 250cc, that's honestly enough to buy a 400.
That's the price of a high-revving four's charm, not something you pick for practicality.
A 250 parallel-four is still pure romance. But 1.01 million yen, huh...
