Kawasaki has announced the 2027 models of its 250cc inline-four full-fairing sportbikes, the Ninja ZX-25R SE and Ninja ZX-25RR. The SE gets a new color, while the flagship RR keeps its price unchanged. They go on sale August 1. The bikes preserve the now-rare 250cc inline-four format, leaning on high-revving excitement as their calling card.

Hearing that high-pitched 250 four-cylinder scream takes me right back to the golden age of replicas. Winding it out in a low gear, that feeling of the tachometer needle snapping upward — the ZX-25R is a rare bike that keeps that alive today. Tackling a winding road wearing the SE's new color sounds pretty good.

A 250 with 4 cylinders — I'd want to hear just the engine note at least once.

Keeping 4 cylinders at this price point makes me wonder just how hard they're working the cost structure.

It's a model built for enthusiast appeal rather than cost efficiency, and that really shows Kawasaki's seriousness.

Holding the RR's price is commendable, but relying on just a new color for the SE to signal a generational change feels a bit weak.

The ZX-25R had mixed reactions at launch too, but seeing it settle in this well is genuinely nice.

A 250 with an inline-4 — that high-rev thrill just isn't something you get anywhere else.
