The engine is mounted in front of the gear and is powered by a multipoint indirect electronic injection system with DOHC distribution and 16 valves, four for each cylinder; delivers about 50 HP and can reach 17,000 rpm. Power can be increased to 51 HP at 15,500 rpm with the aid of an air box, with maximum torque reaching 22.9 Nm (2.3 kgm) at 14,500 rpm.[2]
It is produced in Indonesia and Thailand as a successor to the Ninja ZX-2R/ZXR250, which was produced between 1988 and 2004 (Malaysian market).This motorcycle was first shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2019, to then be launched on the Asian market on July 10, 2020.
