2023 Modenas Ninja ZX-25R SE Price Announced – RM33,900

The Malaysian motorcycle landscape is about to witness a seismic shift as Edaran Modenas Sdn Bhd (EMOS), a subsidiary of Motosikal dan Enjin Nasional Sdn Bhd (MODENAS), officially announced the price for the soon-to-be-launch Modenas Ninja ZX-25R SE.

The 250cc inline-four screamer is set to redefine the 250cc segment, promising a blend of power, style, and accessibility that will captivate the hearts of riders across the nation.
In a bold move, EMOS has unveiled a price point that defies all expectations as the all-new Ninja ZX-25R SE will hit the market with a recommended selling price of RM33,900.

George Kashiwagi, Chief Marketing Officer, commented, “The price point does not only showcase the Company’s dedication to providing world-class performance but also makes the thrill of owning a high-performance sport bike more accessible for the Malaysian riders than ever before.”

The Modenas Ninja ZX-25R SE is not just another motorcycle – it’s a force to be reckoned with. Challenging for the coveted 250cc crown, this two-wheeled marvel is powered by a meticulously engineered liquid-cooled in-line 4-cylinder engine. What’s more, its robust design, complete with a voluminous tank, sets it apart from its predecessor, the Ninja 250, giving it a slightly heftier but more stable profile on the road.

One of the standout features of the ZX-25R SE is its ability to unleash its true potential at the higher end of the rev range, with an impressive redline that extends beyond 17,000rpm. This thrilling characteristic, combined with its finely tuned riding stance inspired by the ZX-10R, ensures that every ride is a symphony of power and precision. The low, close, and tight handlebar position guarantees a comfortable yet exhilarating experience on the asphalt.

Roslan Roskan, the CEO of EMOS, spoke passionately about the ZX-25R SE, saying, “The ZX-25R SE embodies the very spirit of both Modenas and Kawasaki – a blend of innovation, performance, and passion. It represents a new chapter in the story of Malaysian motorcycling, showcasing our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what a sport bike can be.”

From its captivating aesthetics to its cutting-edge features such as traction control, USD forks, and radial brakes, the ZX-25R SE is more than just a motorcycle; it’s a statement of intent. Drawing inspiration from the ZX-10R, this new addition to the Modenas lineup promises to ignite the streets with a combination of power, agility, and style that is truly lustworthy.

RASMI: Harga Modenas Ninja ZX-25R SE ‘4-Dapur’ Diumumkan – RM33,900

Edaran Modenas Sdn Bhd (EMOS) membawa berita baik bagi peminat motosikal tempatan apabila mengumumkan harga rasmi bagi NInja ZX-25R SE yang akan dijual dengan harga RM33,900.

Harga tersebut pastinya menggembirakan ramai pihak yang mengharapkan jentera ‘4-dapur’ itu ditawarkan pada harga yang berbaloi.

Untuk rekod, tempahan bagi Ninja ZX-25R itu telah pun dibuka untuk pasaran tempatan dan bakal hadir dengan dua varian, SE dan RR. Dalam pada itu, varian SE juga hadir dengan dua warna pilihan Lime Green/Ebony dan Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Grey / Ebony.

Bagi memudahkan anda mengenali Modenas Ninja ZX-25R SE, kami ringkaskan dalam enam poin penting:

RPM tinggi

Untuk rekod jentera F1 boleh ‘rev’ sehingga 15,000rpm manakala jentera MotoGP mampu capai 18,000rpm.

Percaya atau tidak, Kawasaki ZX-25R mampu mencapai sehingga 17,000rpm! Ini sekaligus menjadikan ZX-25R sebuah jentera yang unik dan menawarkan tahap kejuruteraan tinggi yang sukar diikuti pengeluar lain buat masa ini.

Enjin berkuasa

Ketika kebanyakan motosikal lain hanya boleh capai lebih 10,000rpm dengan memulas ‘throttle’ sehabis mungkin, ZX-25R mudah mencapai RPM setinggi itu ketika dalam perjalanan ke kedai sahaja.

Enjin empat silinder 249.8cc 16-valve dengan penyejukan cecair dan suntikan bahan itu mampu menghasilkan 51hp pada 15,500rpm dan 22.9Nm @ 14,500rpm. Angka tersebut menjadikan ZX-25R jentera 250cc paling berkuasa dalam kelasnya.

Sesuai untuk kegunaan hujung minggu terutamanya ketika ‘track day’

Sebahagian besar penunggang motosikal di Malaysia hanya memiliki kelas B2 (250cc ke bawah) sekaligus pilihan yang ada cuma kapcai, skuter dan jentera 250cc satu atau dua silinder.

Kemampuan ZX-25R mencapai 50hp dan lebih 17,000rpm menjadikan model ini cukup berkuasa untuk beraksi di litar lumba dan melayan ‘corner’ di lokasi popular di hujung minggu.

Sistem suspensi premium dan chasis diinspirasi dari ZX-10R

Kawasaki ZX-25R mengguna pakai kerangka jenis trellis yang merupakan replika ZX-10R. Kerangka ini cukup kukuh dan mempunyai tahap fleksibel tinggi untuk membantu ‘rider’ menikmati pengalaman menunggang yang agresif.

Seterusnya, ZX-25R dilengkapi dengan fork depan Showa Separate Function Fork – Big Piston (SFF-BP) 37mm yang menawarkan pelarasan ‘damping’ dan ‘rebound’ berasingan. Model ini juga datang dengan penyerap hentakan belakang boleh laras.

Traction Control dan Quick Shifter

Kawasaki ZX-25R didatangkan dengan pelbagai ciri elektronik moden antaranya KQS (quick shifter), KTRC (traction control, Power Mode, klac ‘assist & slipper’ dan ‘electronic throttle valves’.

Bunyi yang syahdu

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R Masuk Malaysia Suku Ketiga 2024?

Kawasaki kembali mencapai populariti di pasaran global sejak membuat langkah berani dengan memperkenalkan jentera 4-inline 250cc, Ninja ZX-25R.

Pengeluar motosikal Jepun itu tidak berhenti disitu apabila turut mengembangkan barisan model ‘4-dapur’ apabila melancarkan Ninja ZX-4R secara rasminya pada awal tahun ini. Selang beberapa bulan kemudian, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R itu turut diperkenalkan di pasaran Thailand dengan dua varian, Standard dan SE.

Malaysia pula masih ketandusan model sulung menerusi Ninja ZX-25R namun kami tidak risau kerana pengedar rasmi, Edaran Modenas Sdn Bhd (EMOS) akan memperkenalkan motosikal tersebut tahun ini yang dijangka berlaku antara hujung bulan Ogos atau awal bulan September.

Dalam perkembangan terbaru, kami difahamkan Ninja ZX-4R akan turut dibawa ke pasaran Malaysia. Berdasarkan info yang kami perolehi, Ninja ZX-4R itu dijangka akan diperkenalkan sekitar Suku Ketiga tahun depan (2024).

Untuk rekod, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR ini dikuasakan enjin 399cc 4-stroke DOHC dengan penyejukan cecair yang menawarkan ‘rev limit’ lebih 15,000rpm. Kuasa enjin pula disalurkan kepada tayar belakang menerusi transmisi 6-kelajuan dengan bantuan klac basah. Platform tersebut berupaya menghasilkan 79.1hp dengan bantuan Ram-Air.

Perkembangan terbaru ini pastinya merancakkan lagi pasaran motosikal tempatan dengan kehadiran motosikal 4-inline 400cc itu.

Namun, sementara menanti ketibaan model tersebut, kami lebih teruja dengan pelancaran Ninja ZX-25R yang akan berlangsung tidak lama lagi. Ini kerana motosikal tersebut akan dipasang sepenuhnya disini dan akan dijual dibawah lencaran Modenas.

Terbaru, EMOS juga telah merasmikan pelancaran tiga model CKD 650cc menerusi Modenas Versys 650, Ninja 650 dan Z650. Ketiga-tiga model ini dijual dengan harga bawah RM40,000 sekaligus menghadirkan berita gembira buat peminat tempatan yang mahu merasaik jentera Jepun dengan harga lebih mesra.

Apa pun, kita nantikan pengumuman rasmi dari pihak EMOS mengenai pelancaran model akan datang itu.

According to the newly appointed Kawasaki distributor in Malaysia, MODENAS, the Ninja ZX-25R will land in Malaysia within the first half of 2023.

The information was conveyed to us by MODENAS Chief Executive Officer Roslan Roskan, during the recent visit to the MODENAS factory in Gurun, Kedah.

However, Roslan admitted that MODENAS and Kawasaki are still yet to determine whether to bring in the motorcycle as a CKD or CBU unit.

Nevertheless, it is the news everyone has been waiting for ever since the Ninja ZX-25R appeared in Indonesia.

During the global introduction, Kawasaki Indonesia showcased four different colour options with two different variants up for grabs: the base 2021 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R and the Ninja ZX-25R Special Edition (SE).

The differences between the base model and the Special Edition are the additions of selectable riding modes, quick-shifter (both ways), and traction control as standard for the SE.

Watch the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R Transformed into a Track Weapon

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R garnered lots of positive response since its introduction at last year’s Tokyo Motor Show.
Kawasaki Indonesia shows the way in upgrading it for track duty.
The video shows how they did it.

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R garnered lots of positive response since its introduction at last year’s Tokyo Motor Show.

We can’t see why not: a screaming 250cc, DOHC, 16-valve, inline-Four engine, upside down forks, quickshifter, etc. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a 250cc inline-Four, so the bike would most probably still get plenty of interest just for the engine without everything else.

But Kawasaki Indonesia is taking it a few steps further, by creating a track weapon out of the bike.

First off, the bodywork’s replaced with an all-carbon fibre set by A-Tech Japan. Look closer and you’ll see that the frame and subframe are carbon too! The body is then given the “mesh” graphic, first seen on the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR MotoGP bike. The tail definitely looks similar to the Ninja ZX-6R and Ninja ZX-10R.

The metallic orange coloured footpegs are hard to miss, too.

But we think there’s still more to come, as they have not touched the suspension, brakes, ECU, engine and exhaust system. It’ll also be interesting to see what they would do to the bike’s rider aid electronics and such.

Will we see this kind of effort in Malaysia when the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R makes it here? You betcha!

Here it is! The 2020 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R Inline-Four Sportbike

The 2020 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R was revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show.
It’s the return of a 250cc inline-Four.
The bike is full of great stuff like a quickshifter.

Finally! As promised, the 2020 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R inline-Four sportbike was revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show.

Yes, the 250cc inline-Four returns after years of going the parallel-Twin route.

But it isn’t just a case of sticking a new engine into a frame and enclosing it in the Ninja 400’s bodywork. No no, this bike is packed with goodies that you’d only find on bigger bikes.

Where do we start…?

Okay, the engine first. The 249cc, 16-valve, DOHC, liquid-cooled inline-Four is said to be tuned for low- to mid-range torque, while possessing high-end power. The intake and exhaust were also tuned for the exhaust note characteristics of Kawasaki’s inline-Fours. The performance figures were not revealed yet, however.

Over to the chassis, the frame is a steel trellis instead of the usual steel backbone or perimeter type common to the class. Kawasaki says that it was “designed using dynamic rigidity analysis.” Could that means tuned rigidity?

The suspension is high grade. The forks are SFF-BP (separate function forks – Big Piston) presumably from Showa. The Ninja ZX-25R will be the first 250cc bike to utilise them. The rear suspension uses the company’s Horizontal Back-link set up. Braking is handled by radial-mounted a monobloc caliper up front.

But here’s the best part: Besides the KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control) and Power Mode selector, the bike comes with… drum roll… KQS (Kawasaki Quick Shifter).

No word on its pricing yet, but hope you enjoy these two videos.
