This motorcycle has few parts in common with the -F model, though it shares the same engine (with different casings). It sports a lateral aluminum frame, different fairing (designed to make it look sportier), larger (17") wheels, an adjustable rear shock absorber, adjustable brake and clutch levers, a smaller drive sprocket, computer-controlled timing advance, and a revised electrical system.

I always thought the ZZR-250 should have succeeded the EX250... the new '08+ really falls short. Though I've never ridden a ZZR either, it has much cleaner styling.
