Ninja ZX-25R

I'm in. Green and not a 600 or 1k.

May have to give up on the 650 though. But yeah, make it and not have dealer fees that are almost the same price as the bike and we can make this work Kawasaki!

Mega cool, but it needs TC like it needs a wheelie bar.

 

I was thinking the same thing about the V2 until I read it was a 955 and not a 650.

 

Something more like this that wasn't designed in 93.

 

I used to have an RVF 400, same feelings. That thing was a ridiculous amount of fun.

 

If they can dish out 60 hp out of a two-fiddy, makes you wonder what they could have done with a four hunnert...

 

60hp out of a street 250 seems unfathomable to me. That comes to 240hp/liter. What street legal production motorcycle has that horsepower per liter ratio from the factory?

 

I want a 450 triple from the OEM’s!
But this will do for now

 

I know someone who's built a 450 RVF to 90+, their goal was 100Hp

 

20k RPM.

 

H2??

 

I should have clarified in regards to naturally aspirated motors. The street legal H2 is only rated at 200hp. The H2R may make 300hp, but that is also with the help of a force inducted air pump adding volume to the motor. Also, from what I've heard, the H2R has stupid short service intervals.

I mean, nothing is stopping Kawi from putting a blower on the ZX-25R and making 60hp.

 

H2 is supercharged, as far as I know.

 

But how quick does it get there?

I mean, imagine taking off and waiting for the bike to rev to 20,000rpm so you can get some yonder.

That's why I hate riding 600s on the street. I don't want to wait for/deal with the bike at 9k rpm all the time. I prefer Liter bikes.

I reckon on the track it might be ok, as long as you kept it in the 16k-20k range. But then again, at that point its like "whats the difference/point?".

What's cool about keeping a littleass bike at 16-20k, when you can get the exact same feeling/power/etc out of a bike with a larger displacement, at 10-14k?

In other words, what's the difference between riding a 250 at 20k, or a 400 at 16k...if both of them get you 50hp? I can't see a 400 being much heavier than a 250. Hell, the cheapass 250/300's they have been giving us weigh the same, or maybe more than an R6.

 

I thought this was going to be some freakish new Frankensaki that had more than twice the motor of my ZX-12R.

 

It is, which makes the 200hp rating from the factory even more pathetic since normally aspirated leader bikes are being rated higher. Still, to prove my point, even a supercharged street legal bike is only being rated at 200hp/liter.

 

The same way you like buttons, I like revs

this looks to be a modded up version of a small bike, which may be lighter than your run of the mill 250/300/400, and may not be. it has all the stuff that you would probably pull off anyway.

The same way a 650 is heavy AF, but it still doing amazing times out there when compared to a middleweight. If this thing is faster than a 390, then well, I think there may be a market, however small here.

 

Why yes pretty close. I would ride it and laugh every day. The Hardcore British guys would give me ne end of shit for beating it like I did. There is some weird satisfaction to be had from thrashing a small bore bike. I did some endurance stints on an SV and felt exactly the same. Now as far as racing something that struggles to go over 100 some people like but it is not for me.
