SCOOP: Kawasaki’s hot Ninja 250RR – another image appears overnight

Another image of the coming Ninja 250 (also being called the Ninja25RR – which we much prefer as a name for this sort of thing) has surfaced overnight.

It’s just a computer-generated image based on details coming out of Japan, and doesn’t show anything more than we already now – but in terms of keeping the interest up, it works.

This is going to be a more sporty version of a 250 Kawasaki with better suspension, sharper brakes and a slightly more prone riding position. Following on from the likes of the firm’s KR1-S 250 two-stroke which was popular in the 1980s/1990s this is Kawasaki’s entry back into the higher-performance, quarter-litre machines.

Expect this bike to make as appearance at the end of 2016. It will be going up against hot 250s from Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki as well as the new, fully-faired BMW G310R which we told you about first on Morebikes.
