This 250cc SCREAMS at 20,000 RPM

This 1998 Kawasaki ZR250 redlines at an insane 20,000 RPM — and it completely changes how you see modern 250s. In this ride review, I take this high-revving 4-cylinder screamer out on the road to see if old-school small-capacity bikes really did feel better. If you miss proper screaming engines, this one’s for you, inline-4 lovers. 📸 Behind-the-scenes on Instagram → @thethrottletube 🌐 More content & info → www.throttletube.com 📧 Business inquiries → [email protected] 💬 Got a topic or question?
