I am drooling over this little bike. Maybe some will make it over here via 'gray market'?
Be safe!

OK, I see this has already been posted, Mod, please delete!! Sorry about that! |
Very disappointing specs compared to '90s version. It's a full 45-lbs heavier with similar power. Back then, there was gentlemen's agreement between manufacturers to limit power to 45bhp. However it was simple to remove limiter by clipping or grounding certain wires on ECU. Or in Honda's case, just plug in different smart-card.
Dave Moss has been giving everyone fits with his '94 CBR250RR. We suspect he's got 55-60bhp from his lap-times. Was hoping ZX-25R's dual-power rating would in that range, but NO, it's only 2bhp more than base model.
I can live with 50bhp, but that extra 45-lbs just kills all handling and braking performance. Imagine taking an R6 or CBR600RR and removing 60% of power, but keeping all the weight. It's gonna be a pig!!
