When the weeks pass, rumors of the arrival of a new and radical Ninja of 250 cc are spreading fast. “Young Machine”, one of the most influential Japanese magazines in the sector, has prepared a special one in the July edition, devoted to a large report to this mini-superbike, which promises to regain the essence of the quarter-liter sport during the 90s, when models like Kawasaki ZXR 250, Yamaha FZR 250 or Honda CBR 250 became the pipe dream of thousands of young riders.

According to the information reported by “Young Machine”, Kawasaki plans to break through the low-field sports market with the brand-new ZX-25R, which, unlike its competitors, will be based on a four-cylinder engine on the Internet instead of the usual bi-cylindrical configuration used by most 300 and 400 cc engines, not forgetting the only cylinder in the KTM RC 390.

The ZX-25R is designed not to replace the Ninja 400,a motorcycle with a less radical and more useful approach for a daily life.This small four-cylinder sports bike will use a propeller, developed from scratch by Kawasaki. According to the “Young Machine”, it will be able to rotate to 20,000 rpm.and reach a power peak of 60 hp, higher than other semi-cylinder sports, all below the limit of 47 horses attached to the A2 card.

Although the first rumors were that Kawasaki could introduce a supercharging system in this new ZX-25R, in reality this new engine will remain atmospheric, with a generous stroke of 14,000 rpm., limited at 19,000 rpm, as happened in the quarter-liter sports of the 90s.

Another big question is whether this new Kawasaki ZX-25R will be approved on the market, according to the Euro5 regulation, that will come into force next year. Really hope, the answer is “yes”, as the bike looks like the efficient option for those who are looking for a low-displacement sport bike.

If this project finally arrives,we can see its official release – or at least prototype - in the next room in Tokyo, which will start on October 24th.
