Kawasaki has finally launched the
highly-anticipated Ninja ZX-25R. The much-awaited 250cc motorcycle with 50 PS
of maximum power has made its debut in Indonesia. It is available in two
variants - Standard and Special Edition. The former has been priced at IDR 96
million whereas the latter retails at IDR 112.9
million.
The newly-launched Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R
is powered by a 249cc inline 4-cylinder engine. This liquid-cooled powerplant comes
equipped with a DOHC setup for uninterrupted performance. Speaking of, the
Ninja ZX-25R is capable of redlining at 17,000 rpm.
Kawasaki has tuned the 4-pot mill to churn
out a maximum power of 50 PS which is produced at 15,500 rpm and the peak
torque of 22.9 Nm kicks in at 14,400 rpm. It is clearly a high-revving engine.
Kawasaki has also provided an option of RAM air intake which boosts the power
output to 51 PS. As for the transmission, there is a 6-speed gearbox with a
slipper and assist clutch. The Ninja ZX-25R SE also gets a bi-direction
quickshifter.
For the suspensions, there is a pair of 37
mm Showa SFF-BP fork with a horizontal backlink rear monoshock. The braking
comes from a single 310 mm front disc with a radially mounted monobloc calliper
and a 220 mm disc at the rear. The SE variant of the Ninja ZX-25R gets a
dual-channel ABS. Kawasaki has also added 3 riding modes and a traction control
system.
In terms of styling, the Ninja ZX-25R
borrows several cues from the Ninja 400 and Ninja ZX-6R. It features a dual-LED
headlamp set up, clip-on handlebars, high-rise tail section, semi-digital
instrument cluster with gear position indicator.
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R comes in four
colour options - Metallic Spark Black, Lime Green/Ebony, Metallic Spark
Black/Pearl Flat Stardust White, and Candy Plasma Blue/Metallic Spark Black.
The first colour option is available with the standard variant and the
remaining three with the Special Edition.
