The 2024 Kawasaki ZX-25RR has now been launched in Malaysia, it is priced at MYR 36,500 (US$ 7,755) excluding road tax, insurance and registration.

This compares against the MYR 33,900 price of the Kawasaki ZX-25R SE, with the ZX-25RR getting upgraded components. These include a Showa BFRC Lite monoshock at the back, with compression and rebound damping, compared with the ZX-25R SE's preload only adjustment.

At the front of the bike, suspension is identical for both models, with a 37 mm diameter upside-down front fork. Also included is a Kawasaki quick shifter (also standard on the SE) as well as Kawasaki Traction Control and assist and slipper clutch on the six-speed gearbox.

Engine internals remain the same, with an inline-four cylinder 249 cc liquid-cooled mill producing 51 PS at 15,500 rpm (with Ram Air) and 22.9 Nm of torque at 14,500 rpm.

There are two ride modes - Full or Low - along with electronically controlled throttle bodies and a built-in immobiliser. For braking, the ZX-25R uses a single 310 mm diameter disc with monobloc calliper on the front wheel while the rear wheel uses a 220 mm calliper, with wheel sizes being 110/70 for the front and 150/60 at the back.

For connectivity, the ZX-25RR comes with Kawasaki's Rideology app with Bluetooth connection to the rider's smartphone. The ZX-15RR is offered with Lime Green/Ebony Black colour options, with stocks expected in Kawasaki Malaysia All-Star dealers at the end of March, 2024.
