  • Kawasaki's New Ninja ZX-25R VERSUS the Kawasaki Ninja 400. Today it's a battle between the lightweight sport bikes made by Kawasaki. Two very evenly matched, yet different motorcycles are compared on their Engine and power, Exhaust notes, weight, brakes, features and price.
    The all new Kawasaki ZX-25R is one of the hottest and most talked about small displacement motorcycles of the year, featuring a 250CC in-line four cylinder engine which screams all the way to 17,500 RPM.
    The tried and true Kawasaki Ninja 400 is widely regarded as one the best beginner motorcycles currently available on the market today and has been praised by reviewers around the globe.

      I put my money on the ZX-25R over the 400; the ZX25R has got all the features and styling to put the Ninja 400 to bed. The sound of the ZX-25R is amazing; the exhaust notes of a Formula one car at top end. This is what I have been dreaming about for a Ninja 250 for decades, and one reason why I never bought a Ninja 250. My first small bike was an 2002 Aprilia RS50, and this was in anticipation in buying an RS250; which never occurred due to Cal restrictions for street use. However, the only option available was the 1989 Yamaha FZR400; a bike, that in my opinion of for size, has the performance and sound that is similar to the ZX-25R; a small engine displacement with all the thrill of a small sport bike. Additionally, if this bike reaches California, the ZX-25R will no doubt become a classic and valuable bike; a sure investment bike worth buying now and keeping... it will retain its value, and it will no doubt be a collectable. However, the Ninja 400 will lose much of its value and appeal over time; thereby, making it a less valuable bike and not so much of a collectable one either; the ZX-25R will no doubt be the winner over long-term appeal despite the smaller engine displacement. Now, let's see if it will be allowed into California as a legal street bike... knowing California, already, it is likely to be restricted and or banned.

      It'$ currently ₱410,000.00 pesos here in the Philippines💸🏦🤑 excluding 3yr registration.
      Too expensive that's why you dont see it often in the streets and also its not express/highway way legal meaning you cant go on the highway as there's this stupid law here 400CC rule only in the Phils. That youre not allowed to pass all north/expressway in mainland of Luzon. Sad reality that's why its not that popular overkill in price then you cant ride on the major highways called CaviteX-Nlex-Slex-NaiaX-Tplex-mcX etc. 🏍️

    IT IS a lovely little bike that likes rev high~ Thankfully, I have a ZX25R here in Indonesia and riding it is so much fun. And the seat ergonomic is not too painful for the back, it's still a great bike to ride in the city.
    I rode it for about 2.5 hours and yes it caused a mild back pain but my sitting position was still quite comfortable in the bike. Low end power is to be expected, but mid range (starting from 6-7000 rpm) till redline is so much fun. It has great maneuverability at low speeds and quite flickable on turns. My dream bike was its bigger brother, the ZX 636, but living in Indonesia and after experiencing this bike, this is already such a dream to ride in. It is a privilege.
    I still have so much to learn with this beautiful bike (I only started riding 14 months ago) and I hope I can handle it much better when I finally go to my first track day. I think I am officially a Kawi simp 😂.
    P.S. I want to thank the preacher of all things two wheels, Papa Yam and Spite from the youtube channel Yammie Noob and Ryan from Fortnine. I learned A LOT from those guys and they made want to be more committed to my bike and improve on my riding skills. I hope they see this comment and know that I'm grateful of what they've done.

    I want a ZX25R just to troll people after hearing the 4 cylinder w/ aftermarket exhaust then saying its a 250cc. I saw a video of a UA-camr in the Philippines (Naj Abdul) take a ZX25R to the streets, he was talking in English majority of the review. It apparently has traction control and power modes along with quick shifter and auto blip. He went up to like 165 kmph but he also claims it could've easily achieved 190-195 kmph.
    Also, I hope it comes here in the US :)

  • @SportbikerNZ
    @SportbikerNZ 4 роки тому +15

    Decent overview. Note that 4:37 should be duel piston. The caliper is the whole unit that houses the pistons and pads.
    Here in NZ Kawasaki have offered the 25R on special order for $15,990 NZD. For comparison the most expensive KRT 400 is $9,500.
    Akrapovic have dyno figures on their website for the 25R showing around 42hp, presumably at the wheel. So yes that'd make it 45-50hp at the crank.
    The 25R is viable in those countries that create an artificial market by increased taxes for bikes over 250cc, or restricting license classes to that bracket.

    for the ones asking about it, in the philippines it costs 410,000 or in us dollars is 8,200 dollars. A gas mileage vid i saw proves that it goes 21kmpl which is good for a 4 cyclinder. Naj Abdul(ph motovlogger) really says it has no torque at all unless you rev it high from the start. if you got a question feel free to ask i can translate most zx25r vids

    You can find videos of this thing out in the wild now.
    It's actually slower off the line than something like an R3 but blows it away at the top end because the tiny little four cylinder makes all of it's power at the very top of the rev range.
    It would be a terrible city bike, and not too great of a highway bike because of the tank size/ fuel consumption of the thing; this bike was born and bred to live on a track, the headlights and stuff are just formalities at this point.

    These bikes should definitely be compared to each other. Nicely done!
    The 400 will have more torque and real world street power at lower rpm.
    The 250 will need to be wrapped up into higher rpm to access it's power.
    It's all a matter of how you want your power delivery.
    At the end of the day, I want BOTH!!!!

      Apples and oranges comparison. One is a very basic street bike, built to a very obvious 'price point' and is more of a 'commodity' product...albeit a very good one.
      The ZX is built as a 'premium product' with all current sport bike tech...electronics, shifter, brakes, suspension and a jewel of an inline 4 cylinder engine. It most assuredly costs more...but we're worth it !! LOL.

    I like them both, I guess it depends on the buyer's purpose. If he's going to do track focused riding he would be leaning more to the zx25r but if you want a balanced bike for both streets and tracks the 400 is better. Though I'm willing to bet a modded ninja 400 can beat a zx25r in the track any day. It's lighter and it can be modified to reach 55-60hp.

      Shifting should be ultimately done by sound. You'll start to recognize the sound of the engine as it starts to hit the higher RPMs (around 6k RPM). Don't be too concerned with the speed at which you shift, the more you ride the bike the better feel for it you'll get. If you're riding in the city for example, its best to keep the revs around 4k-5k. If you start going under 4k you'll feel the bike struggle a little because the bike runs pretty lean from the factory and it'll start feeling a little choppy.

      I'd say it's more got to do with how the different engines are set up. The ZX is a little four cylinder and they make most of their power up high in the rev range. The Ninja 400 has more lower end torque so will get off the line quicker and up to speed quicker. IF they were doing a rolling race starting at 80-100km/h and the zx was in it's power band, it would be a different story
