Kawasaki in working on the Ninja ZX-25R

Recent reports reveal that Kawasaki is working on a new 250cc, in-line four-cylinder motorcycle. The prototype of the motorcycle is ready and, it is undergoing tests at the Kawasaki factory in Indonesia. A poster also reveals that the motorcycle will be called the Ninja ZX-25R. But, the authenticity of this poster is still under speculation.

The ZX-25R will going to be the most powerful 250cc motorcycle in its segment.

Between the year 1989 and 1997, Kawasaki has sold a similarly specced motorcycle which is also named as ZX250R. The previously sold ZX250R was powered by a four-cylinder engine which was good at churning out respective power and torque outputs of 45hp and 24.5Nm. And the motor was capable of revving up to 19,000rpm. If these rumours are real than this upcoming Kawasaki bike will have the most powerful 250cc engine currently on sale. The poster image bike looks quite similar to the Kawasaki Ninja H2. It gets some smart looking body stickers, aggressive looking headlight and an upswept exhaust. This is not the first time rumours about a new in-line-four quarter-litre Kawasaki have been surfaced over the internet. If the Ninja ZX-25R gets launched in future, it will compete against the likes of e KTM RC390, Yamaha YZF R3 and Ninja 400 in the Indian market.

The bookings of the 2019 Ninja ZX-10R has commenced at a token amount of Rs 1.5 lakh.

Kawasaki India has also started taking bookings of the much powerful 2019 Ninja ZX-10R. A person can book the motorcycle at a token amount of Rs 1.5 lakhs. A Ninja ZX-10R can be booked by 30 May 2019.  Kawasaki will close bookings for the first lot of bikes after the targeted number of customer are reached. The 2019 Ninja ZX-10R will come with a slight bump in its power. The bike now gets a 998cc, in-line four, liquid-cooled motor which develops 200 bhp of power. On the other hand, the current version churns out respective power and torque outputs of 197.3bhp at 13,000rpm and 113.5Nm at 11,500rpm. The engine comes paired with a 6-speed gearbox which will now get assisted by the Kawasaki’s quick shifter-dual direction.
