Kawasaki was one of the first (of the entire Japanese "four" motorcycle manufacturers) to use simpler and more reliable 2-cylinder engines on small-cubic models. If you recall, the approach of the Japanese companies to the creation of 250 cc sports / sports-touring motorcycles was quite simple: they took a 400 cc version, which reduced engine displacement and slightly simplified the chassis equipment. The result was a model that was as similar to track motorcycles as possible, with a capacity of up to 45 hp. Motorcycles turned out to be quite expensive, but at the same time they had a very small engine resource (due to its huge boost, small volume and a large number of cylinders). Kawasaki tried to get away from this concept by releasing the Kawasaki ZZR 250 model, which turned out to be so successful, reliable and in demand in the market that it was produced practically unchanged until mid-2007, until new environmental requirements came out that the motorcycle could no longer meet.
At the end of August 2007, the model is officially discontinued. In 2008, a new model was introduced as the successor to the Kawasaki ZZR250 - [[Kawasaki_Ninja_250R | Kawasaki Ninja 250R]].
