I remember reading in a mag i think it was overdrive or bike india that rajiv bajaj has given his rnd team a green signal for a 300 single and a 400 twin cyl bike...i think it was quoted in an article on 220

AFAIK Ninja has been showcased only in the 8th Auto Expo, can you tell in which all auto expos you have seen this bike?

Me too, but unfortunately the Govt.has only opened up laws for 800cc+segment, that too via CBU route, which makes the price of say an R1/Busa more than double of its original price by the time we buy it. I'm waiting for some 400-600cc bikes to come in via CKD route, which will reduce prices greatly&we may get them for almost the same price that they are available in other countries for! The Ninja is supposed to be the first of this kind. Hope for some bigger CKDs soon!

Yes Ken da, I met a guy riding a '07 R1 which he bought for 6.25lakhs a few days back. Felt like doing the same, but donno if it was a legal import or not! Can't really bring myself to getting a secondhand superbike, especially after reading the way you felt when you saw 000000 on your R1! Guess I'm gonna save up&wait for the first legal CKD to be launched above 500c!

Hi Bandhav,

If you remember the kawasaki ninja 250 was showcased even in 2006 expo. After that they also released half page newspaper ads in which there was a ninja and the ad said something like "The shape of tomorrow or shape of things to come". It was a black coloured one in the ads.

Its nice if Bajaj did the 200Fi but more importantly i'd hope the Fi could be retrofitted for the normal 200's

@niks-Discover Sprint?Now what's that?

@dushyant-FZ is a strange choice considering that you were thinking about Ninja.Also Ninja was not showcased in Expo-06.

@Absolutehavoc-P200Fi is itself a rumour.
