VIDEO: Rea and Lowes put Kawasaki’s ZX-25R through its paces at Jerez.

Kawasaki’s finally released video of its new ZX-25R in action. And it shows Jonathan Rea and Alex Lowes ripping round Jerez.

We told you it was coming and here it is. Kawasaki’s dropped the video of Jonathan Rea and Alex Lowes tearing around Jerez on the new Ninja ZX-25R – and it shows that the new bikes a seriously capable bit of kit.

A small piece of POV footage shows one of the lads hitting 160km/h (100mph) in fifth gear with the revs at 16,000rpm – but there’s still all of sixth to make use of, which means it’s got plenty more in the tank.

This is the first time we’ve properly seen the new ZX-25R in action – and Kawasaki’s promised some more film very soon. And with the bike set to officially revealed on April 4 in Indonesia, chances are we won’t have to wait too much longer to see it in the flesh.
