10 Minutes of 250cc Inline Four Screaming [Kawasaki ZX25R Pure Audio]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Kawasaki's 250cc inline four screaming through rural roads. Had better luck with the audio in this clip, also nice to let the ZX25R sing. Although having occasional periods where you chose not to open it up adds to even more fun when you do.
This clip starts after riding 160km to the national park, having my exhaust tested and being denied entry. I decided to ride around the park to the north entrance to check if I could get in there. It wouldn't be too bad if I couldn't enter, as the roads on the north edge are nice. In the end, after another 100km to the north gate, they performed the same test on my exhaust and let me in - interesting.

![[English] 2021 Kawasaki Ninja ZX25R SE Review | 17K RPM FOUR CYLINDER BEAST](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yr4PdSRbT1U/mqdefault.jpg)
This thing is really cool. People getting this as a starter bike are truly in for a treat. This bike must be so smooth to ride a 4cyclinder that small
Bro this is no starter bike lmao.
50hp with that weight is like saying the mt07 is a starter bike. Sure you can start on it, but 90% of people are gonna crash it pretty quick and possibly die.
Also imagine the zx4r!!! I really hope they drop it in Europe.
@@AL.farmlife why am i wrong? just because the hp's are to be found above 10k rpm, it doesn't take long to get up there
@@Daniel-dj7fh If you have some form of self control mt07 is abolutely fine to start on.
@@jonasv19 sure, but it's not an assumption you can make looking at people.
Like over 50% won't have the common sense.
@@Daniel-dj7fh Where I’m from the standards for obtaining a motorcycle license should be enough to handle an MT-07 in a controlled manner, of course that’s not the case everywhere
That sounds SOOO SMOOTH! I was so excited when I heard about this bike a couple years ago, and then I was crushed when I heard it's not coming to the U.S.
Importer will bring it in. For sure.
The US got the Kawasaki ZX4RR.... 400cc 4 cylinder bike. Same principle as the ZX25R. A small displacement 4 cylinder motorcycle.
Unfortunately the ZX4RR is pretty expensive at around $10,000.
@@xuimodwell the zx4rr is pretty different since the zx25r is a screamer and pretty good for new riders who are still afraid of speed
@operator8014 well is it legal to import that bike to the US?
everything is legal as long as you have money, i guess@@gameroni51
It sounds like you're going so fast, but you're going so slow lol its trippy. big bike sound, 250cc speed
Well that's the point, you cannot go pass 100 km/h (~60 miles/h) in most Asian countries, without endangering people around you. That's why this bike is exclusively for Asia.
@@highaway8800 to be honest that applies everywhere mate, endangering others is a bi-product of speed right?
Here is aus the max speed is 110kmph which is fast enough, I agree with ya there.
Im just so used to hearing that noise and then seeing a shadow fly past haha
@@haids6409 Lol that's why I get so many hilarious reactions from pedestrians when I ride by them. This little monster is fun to ride on its own ways.
Set playback speed to 2X. ;)
Fun factot
Thailand roads are so well-constructed even in rural areas. This must be in my go-to list.
thats bot rural thats urban
not*
@@hambalemah4867 That doesn't look very urban. I've lived in Malayisa for a good while, you'd need to get out of KL quite abit to go close to roads like these.
Also the thing you saw at the beginning looks like a gate to a nature park or something.
You just have to watch out for all sorts of shit running out of the woods.
Kick ass bro! Just got mine yesterday, totally in love with it!
Enjoy the bike, probably ranks as one of the most fun bikes you could own for the road.
@@zx-25rjourney76 Right on, buddy! This one is gonna stick with me for a while!
Still waiting..😭😭😭
Where do you live? Did you get it imported?
How much did you pay for your kawai
the sound it makes... 😍
With that epic sound they need to sell this in the United States, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Sounds so much better than my 400.
you are in luck. Kawasaki USA taking pre-orders for 4 cylinders ZX-4RR. $12000 OTD. limited number. get it before it's sold out.
@@piasob ahhh he's gonna like it 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I totally agree, all the starter bike out here sounds weak cuz it’s only 1 cyclinder
I hope they will sell this bike in North America soon.
Sounds epic.
@@redactedrider7606 I hope it will come with an inline 4 cylinder engine, most importantly that revs to 17,000 rpm.
Love to have a screamer.
It's way more fun riding a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.
No way kawasaki is going to cannibalize 600 sales - they'll only sell this where incomes and taxes make 600's super expensive
@@dougmaverick3287 It will. Doesn’t make sense to give it a parallel twin when there’s the Ninja 400.
@@jyy9624 Are 600 sales even a thing since they killed the r6, gsxr600, and I believe the zx6r too?
@@vinceavila7795 It doesn't even make sense to sell the zx25r since the ninja250 is a thing, and Asia probably has a 150 and 200cc version.
Years ago I had fzr250. It revved to 19000 and sounded similar. It had 45hp but I wouldn't have called it slow. It was still faster than most cars to 100mph
People comparing car accelerarion to motorcycle acceleration are so wierd.
Yes a bike will be faster then most of the cars you come across on the street.
If we take this bike and Europe for example; where a typicall car is a 2.0 diesel making 150hp and 320Nm of torque. This is usually a Golf so lets take a Golf 7 for its weight. ~1354kg. All this gives it a power to weight ratio of 0.1108hp/kg
This Kawasaki makes 51hp and 23Nm of torque while having a weight of 182kg; all this gives it a power to weight ratio of 0.28 hp/kg(without a rider)
That is more then double the hp/kg this Zx-25R gets
Taking in the riders weight of 80kg in equation; 0.1947. still more then a car without a driver.
The bike will almost always win.
In order for a car to win in hp/kg race, it needs ~400hp (Both without drivers/riders). You dont see many cars in your daily commute with such performance numbers.
People oight to stop comparing apples to display fruit.
Thank you for joining my TedTalk.
I had the same bike 1987 FZR250R inline four.
Years ago I had a VTR250 in Thailand. It'doesn't rev that high but the V twin engine also sounds great, lots of fun of going through the gears, sounding like a Ducati, but still riding legal speeds.
This is pure auditory therapy!
Music to my ears, reminds me of my old ZXR250(c)...
Oh god kawi pls release the zx-4r already so I can join in on the fun here in burgerland
And Bratwurstland ouff
Your wish is granted
@@atem8101 yeah but sadly it needs a day one tune due to emissions robbing 20 hp
What a badass little bike, I have 2 400's and I need to have this bike. nice video with great sound.
Litterly my dream bike... had to settle for the zx6r.. Sadly in the US no one cares about twisty bikes
Come here I let u ride it 🙂
@@zx-25rjourney76 must be so fun to red line it and break no speed limits
great bike man, sounds awesome
@@zx-25rjourney76 Its so sad we dont have it here in europe too
zx4r is coming to the US in 2023
@@quanwick4516 4 real??
This bike is going to go down as an all time classic.
Thank you Kawasaki for building something like this.
Only like 64cc's per cylinder lol.
That’s awesome. I had a 250 twin ninja now I have a zx6r but to scream it through the power band like that puts you at really high speeds . To be able to do that ina smaller bike like that would probably be a blast and not as dangerous
That's why smol bikes are better than big bikes. And that's why I'd give my left nut for a zx4r to be released in Europe.
"sorry no song" is exactly why i want to watch this video. I want to hear the bike, not the radio. We can hear every nuance. Creates way more feel for the viewer.
I love Thailand. I’d love it even more if I could live there with a ZX-25R. :)
Come!!!
@@zx-25rjourney76 I just might!
I spent a month going all over in 2017, another month and a half from January 1, 2020 (oof!), and yet another month at the end of last year.
In all I’ve been from the north to the south to the REAL south, to the islands and even the coral reefs. What an amazing country!
If this came to the States, this is all I'd ever want. From talks through the grapevine though, it sounds like we're getting the zx4r this year (giddy with excitement)
I hope we in Europe get it as well. I'd buy one so hard.
Feb 1st is the Grand Reveal! The teaser shots show a small sportbike under a cover with the same wheels as this and Ninja 400! I believe the ZX4r will be the 'Goldilocks' for small displacement 4cyl power and screaming RPMs. From what I've heard, the ZX4r engine is based on the 25r engine, punched out to just under 400cc's. I guestimate around 70+hp compared to 25r 45-50hp, and much needed torque boost. I hope it revs as high, but probably be a tad less. I don't think it'll compete against Kawi's own Ninja 400, as that's more of a budget, higher torque, lower HP beginner sportbike. I imagine the ZX4r to get to 60 in approx 3.2sec, and cost somewhere around $8k US, hopefully less!? Downsides compared to Ninja 400 (parallel-twin) will be less low-end torque, worse MPG, higher price, higher weight. Upsides are everything else- much higher horsepower, awesome screaming redline, smoother, performance suspension and brakes, Ram-air, different drive modes, more tech- if your into that thing. Likely my next bike!
@@jeladsnikpoh1289 It seems like track bikes are starting to become popular in the States now though, the KTM RC390 is selling really well. Maybe Kawasaki will get in on that and bring over these beauties? Or at least the zx-4 should sell better than imagined.
A lot of people don't realize that inline-four 250's aren't a new idea. The Japanese made them in the 80's and 90's for their domestic market. In New Zealand we used to import them they were everywhere. I had the 1987 Honda CBR250R (look it up) 45hp 16 valve double over head cam, it would red-line at 18,000 rpm. I had the 1987 Yamaha FZR250R as well. They still sell them in New Zealand.
Kawasaki made this bike back in 1989 it was called the ZXR250R (LOOK IT UP). They stopped making inline-four 250's around the late 90's.
The inline-four 250cc bikes I have seen in New Zealand
SUZUKI GSXR-250R/RR/SP
HONDA CBR250R/RR/Fireblade
YAMAHA FZR250R
KAWASAKI ZXR250R/RR
SUZUKI Bandit 250
HONDA Hornet 250
SUZUKI Katana 250
SUZUKI Across 250
Dude this thing looks fkn amazing.
I own multiple 600c+ 4 cyl bikes that are great but maybe a bit to fast for their (and my) own good, this thing solves that.
Wouldn't trade my big bikes for this but you gotta have this as well.
They need to sell this in the states, the sound is glorious, and this is way better than the top-selling RC390 which sounds like a damn scooter, hopefully, they make and sell the rumored 400R coming to the US sound like this.
ZX-4RR is here in USA!! get it before it's sold out.
This thing is firing spark plugs as often as Allen Millyard's 350 4cyl 2-stroke. Both 2x what a Honda S2000 does. That's bananas.
The wide angle and motion blur makes the experience much better
I love 250 4 cylinder.. not like others 2 cylinder.. meter just 140-150kmh.. this sound so perfect!
Wish we got this in America! I would have too much fun screaming down the road doing the speed limit 😂
What sound this little beast makes 💖
man this is what the 2000s era F1 cars sounded like, pure heaven
Sounds like a bigger bike 600cc plus haha love it
Anything with a straight pipe sounds big.
I've heard clown loud catless 125's when I started riding.
I think the bike here is abit too loud, but it could also be my German ass being used to not being able to have anything fun on 2 or 4 wheels legally Tüv Limitations.
These would be soo fun on a go kart track
Coming from a grom, I've been looking to get one of these just to ride around and be safe. Not interested in riding with big packs or going fast. Seems like a pretty decent bike.
The US needs this
I'm from central Asia, but I want this bike for a racetrack. Sometimes I come to Phuket, do you know if there are some Kawasaki shops? Official website lists one, so I'm planning to go and check one out next time I'm there. If it will fit me, I guess I'll buy and import one!
This is the bike if you like the screaming sound while going slow. Fun indeed.
If they had released it in Australia I would have bought one but I hear the ZX4R is on the cards so I can live with that
Dream bike, wish we could get them here in the States
ZX-4R is coming but, honestly, I still wish they’d bring us the ZX-25R first.
@@emmettturner9452 is there anything solid on this yet? Given the price of ZX25R, it will be so close to the 636. In Thailand I don't think the 25R sold much at all.
@@zx-25rjourney76 The most solid evidence is still the patents which show the ZX-25R aerodynamics were developed for a 400cc bike. Very recently Young Machine Magazine reportedly saw it being tested on Japanese roads with an updated upper fairing and a larger exhaust. Kawasaki is also developing a ZX-7R. I’ve heard completely unrelated reports that they they will drop the ZX-6R for the next model year, which makes sense because it leaves more room for a ZX-4R.
This will help differentiate them from their competition too. Currently, anyone who wants a 600cc-class supersport bike can chose between Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, which doesn’t leave much market share for Kawasaki. If they discontinue the ZX-6R and introduce ZX-4R and ZX-7R, then anyone who wants a little more or a little less than the competition will choose Kawasaki.
This also works at the high end: Anyone wanting a bit less than a literbike but a bit more than the 600cc bikes can get the ZX-7R. Anyone wanting a bit more than a literbike can get a supercharged Kawasaki H2. ;)
If this really is the plan, I think it’s a smart move even though I’d be happy with a more affordable ZX-25R.
@@zx-25rjourney76 Are they built in Thailand like the EX250/300/400?
@@emmettturner9452 Thanks for the info all that would make a lot of sense. Not sure but I think all Thai bikes are from the Indonesia (price was also up compares to Indonesia).
Whats that tube on the left side right under the windscreen? Do you have a Mentos holder?
Yes for snacks. JK it's some required tax disc in Thailand.
Thats a damper. So.you dont shake your handle too much..give good control too
Man am I lucky to get stationed in Japan. Already getting ready to have this as my starter bike
jealous of you brother but have fun lol you being stationed osaka?
Are you from USA?
Thanks for No Song. Yet great sound!
You're welcome
This looks like a ton of fun
Wish this bike was launched in India. Would sell like hot cakes ❤️
No it wouldn't. Spending 9L on a 250. Why wouldn't you get a street triple, or a z900 for a tad bit more price. Although this bike is an inline 4, getting a 250 for 9L makes no sense whatsoever.
@@thesahilarte nah not paying 9 lakhs for this. 7 lakh tops. Also z900 on road is around 10.5 lakh
@@thesahilarte Exactly, and Indian market is a lot about bang for buck. Lots of other Ninjas available for the same or slightly more price. In addition, there’s the ST3 and CBR650R which are just superb in terms of performance.
More kitchen nightmare reviews! This was golds
It's like you are racing at Monaco, at the speed limit!
That sounds glorious .
What is that? The thing you attached to side of your windshield in the left?
I do hope they release the 400 in Milan this weekend. I'd be all over that in the UK. Make Change from me Harley 🤣
small = fun. I wish I could get one of these high revving baby monsters in Canada.
Does is have Quick shifter?
Yes and blipper
What an insane machine!!!!!! Monster F-1 sound!!!!!!! CRAZY!!!!!!!!!
F1's never sounded like 4 cylinders to my knowledge tho.
@@Daniel-dj7fh this doesn’t sound like a typical 4 cylinder either lol
@@bonotoli it does
@@bonotoli a motorcycle 4 cylinder that is, car engines don't sound like this because they're not made to turn that high.
Honda CBR MC 17, 19, 22 sounds like F1
Honda CB 1050X also sounds so good
Omg this thing screams!!! 🔥🔥🔥
รถสวย เสียงจัด ยอดเยี่ยมครับ
It took 30 years, but the CBR250RR is officially outdated
Where do i get one of these? do they need imported?
Love that sound, haven't heard anything like it since the early 1990's Yamaha FZR-400 here in America.
Nice bike, any issues with it after a year, what's the maintenance like?
Wish they'd bring this to America, hopefully we will get the 400 model of this, but I'm hearing a high price if so, around $8300-8500+ (dealer markup).
Zx4rr costed 11 grand
250cc with 4 cylinder 😍
Too bad they don't sell this in Europe, sounds so much fun
my dream bike. 😍
I must admit this bike sounds nice
This is music to my ears instead of that tatatatatatatata twin
No way, it is not as good sounding as a Suzuki SV650 V- twin engine with an after market pipe. The SV650 blows this little high screaming Kwaka off the road in every department, including engine sound.
yet to launch in Aus...what a shame
I just can’t get my head round the sound! It sounds like a 600 yet it’s a 250😂
What is the on road price?
I would love one of these for around town, having a 600 is fun but it’s impossible to bang through the bears and not be doing triple digit speeds already
Nice ride bro. subbed....how's the bike so far?
What ?? Is that really what it sounds like ? Wow
What's the exhaust?
Surprised to see the comment, just let other people enjoy their stuff and respect their choice. What works for you might not works for others, vice versa lol.
Actually quick for a 250 these small inline 4 bikes have almost a f1 car sound to them
brutal sound 🔥
เสียงดีครับ
เอาไปฟังเป็น ASMR เลย
All Sound 😍, no GO!!!!
But who's having more fun, the all sounds but no go biker or the no sounds no go biker (because you can never make use of anything over 100hp legally and in a common sense level safe way on the streets)?
I'd take the zx25r over any 600 or 1000cc bike any day of the week. I''m even mentally debating if I'd take the 25 over the zx4r which is suppsoed to come out soon because it's got ~80hp which are also borderline unuseable.
My cb500f does 90kmh in second. Ripping through 1st is debateable fun because of the gear ratio, but you could rip 2nd fully shift to third and would technically be "illegal", half legal would be ripping 3rd too. But 4, 5 and 6 are unusable. Sure I could go on the Autobahn, but what's the fun riding in a straight line?
This bike is no more stock, it has akrapovic full system exhaust in it which is in the costlier side...
KTM RC AND DUKE[390] series is also good for fun,race tracks and leisure ridings.
Mileage,speed,traffic rules depends on which country or state you live in.
@@anantakashkhalkho3017
The Akrapovic pipe does nothing but add cost and maybe abit sound without a tune.
Sure you could get an rc390, but that's 3 cylinders away from being in inline4. Not saying you can't have fun with those tho, it's just that this one has a very special configuration.
Most countries limit town speeds to 30-50kmh, backroads 50-100kmh, and highway 100-140kmh (yes even on the Autobahn, here even 80kmh sometimes believe it or not). And considering the general speed limits, being able to half wring out the gears whilst not going 100+kmh in first gear after 3-5s is quite nice.
Enjoying F1 sound whithin legal road speed.
Das heißeste was man mit einem alten Führerschein Klasse 2 fahren kann.
it's mph or kmh ?
❤ that sound ...🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
awesome
That bike is fast for 250cc lmao probably faster than my ninja 400
Practice your lines, you are going wide at some corners...Nice little bike btw love it.
I'm wondering, do you do other mods on the bike or just the exhaust been change?

Assalamualaikum wbt...selalu rembat normal suhu tinggi ..cuba guna minyak hitam jenama estremo dengan coolant KRT
Crazy how this redlines at 17 thousand. How they even manage to make that thing.
God I want one so bad even though I'd have to import it to the other side of the world...
bro has some fear about leaving his indicators on
wow. just listen to that thing. Why cant we have this in the US?
It sounds like a big bike but it also is probably even more soulless than a big inline 4 aswell
Scalded kitty. I want one. Don’t care if I have to import it as a track bike only it’s not like I’m pulling over anyway
I checked the process and did the math to import this bike to N.America...it is possible.
But it will end up costing the same as a brand new ZX6R. That's tough. Kind of defeats the entire purpose.
The JDM Skyline GTRs and Supra Turbos were known as supercars killers whilst costing less than 1/3rd the price of a supercar: that was the whole allure; yet now in many cases those old jdm cars are more expensive than the supercars themselves. Defeats the point.
