The ZXR 250 is a 249*cc (15.2*cu)*Liquid cooled, four stroke, transverse four cylinder, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder (16) made by Kawasaki. It was introduced in 1988, with a minor update for the 1990 model year, and a considerable redesign for 1991, after which the ZXR250 received only colour scheme changes until 1993 when a 39hp (29.08kw) and 180km/h (111mp/h) limit was introduced due to changes in Chinese law (excluding Malaysian models). Like the Honda CBR250, Yamaha FZR250 and Suzuki GSX-R250, the ZXR250 is noted for advanced, almost excessive, engineering and design.
