I understand, progress (or the lack of) of Ninja is appalling in India! But how long will it stagnate ! I guess 250 cc is the way future for manufacturers and they will have to move up the CC ladder at some time.
But one thing is sure, the speculations about Ninja has made pple familier about a 250 and some manufacturer can pip Bajaj/Kawasaki past the post and gain first mover advantage !!
But that can only be Honda now, coz of the VTR250 that they have in their lineup. Its already mentioned a lots of places that Yamaha and Suzuki have gone to the drawing board with plans for a multi cyl 250 (
NOT specifically for India, but as a competitor to Ninja 250 in general)
And when they do release worldwide, the chances of them coming to India is anyones guess ! But 250s will come to India surely. And for that, we the Indian customer has to show the companies that it is in their business interest to get the 250s in India !!
Bombard them with mails, ask them to look at R15s sales figures, do anything in your capacity to make them a believer !!
In fact there are lots of 250s in market in the cruiser mould like Honda Rebel 250 and Yamaha Virago, but these are too outdated for any new market launches !!
Plus, Kinetic get the Comet/Aquila back pls !!
