Aeons ago, when the world made sense and Cosby was still on the box, Kawasaki made a 250cc sportsbike that revved sky-high and captured hearts. Now, it's resurrecting the mini-banshee with a shrieking, 17,000-plus RPM inline four called the ZX-25R.

Sydney's Ben Felten will go for a motorcycle land speed record this weekend in South Australia, aboard a Kawasaki ZX-10R. Since he's completely blind, he'll be taking instructions from an ex-MotoGP rider over a radio. The target? Over 156 miles per hour, or 251 kmh.
