if not in 2006 then I might be mistaken, but it was surely there in one of the earlier expos

I thought we're talking about upcoming bikes in 2009! How did we go back to 2006?

[dushyant]

anyways, let's forget about the previous years. what and when in 2009 then. Still no news about the ninja. anybody else with latest news????

I was only trying to state that they (bajaj) have been doing ads about kawasaki and what not since so many years but where is the real stuff....

In the year 2006, Ninja was not updated to a modern bodywork. It was still sold in its 'basically unchanged since 1987' form. Also in 2006 Bajaj's entire focus was on P220, and couldn't have let Ninja 250 steal its thunder.

So there was no Ninja 250 in 2006.

Dude, just relax !! Its not Bajaj's fault that we are runing around impatient. Companies take time to get Expo models to reality. Happened to DN-01 and so many others. Agreed Ninja is an already built motorcycle, but still the logistic nightmares of getting it here is something you and me are not aware of !

Also Kawasaki makes a limited number of Ninja 250s per year. I read somewhere that the 2008 numbers were over by Sep itself or someting like that. So Bajaj also has to discuss numbers with Kawasaki in this regard.

There might even be a fair chance that Bajaj might be pusing back the launch dates just because of recession. I mean, c'mon 2Lakhs is a big sum and frankly people are putting of their big buying decision as of now.

So I guess we'll just have to follow the mantra 'Good things come to those who wait' !! But .......... aaaarrrggh .. c'mon Bajaj !!

If you guys remember the kawasaki anhelo , it never came out.showcased in ae-2000 with a bajaj logo.I am hoping that Kawasaki will roll out 800cc + bikes (ckd's) along with the 250r.

This doesn't seems to be a speculation.The probability of this becoming a reality is extremely high!!
