The banshee howl of the good old in-line four engine has become synonymous with sportbikes for several decades now. Although a good number of top-tier sportbikes now make use of V4 engines, the high-pitched scream of an inline-four will always have a special place in the hearts of sportbike enthusiasts.
In today's performance-obsessed sportbike scene, it's truly a breath of fresh air to see a machine designed to focus on providing a pure riding experience without the neck-breaking power. I'm talking about none other than the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R. While you folks in the U.S. and Europe are unlucky not to have this bike available in your home countries, here in Asia, the ZX-25R is a rather common sight among sportbike aficionados. I've been privileged enough to have ridden this bike quite a few times, and I can confidently say it truly lives up to the hype.
