Kawasaki's mini-Ninja

It's the 150RR...




INDONESIAN site TMCBlog has managed to scoop pictures of a new 150cc Kawasaki sports bike under test for the Indian and Asian markets.

More a facelift than a new bike – there's already a 150R offered in some countries with this engine and chassis – it actually looks pretty good. The frame might be an unpretentious tubular steel item, and the engine's a pretty simple single, but with mini-Ninja styling to compete with Yamaha's R15 and Honda's CBR150R it's on a par with its rivals.

The difference is that while Yamaha and Honda offer smaller, 125cc derivatives of their bikes in Europe to cater to the learner market, there's no western version of the existing Ninja 150R, and little chance we'll get the new model either.

They're just diluting the brand of Ninja. But again, who am I to say anything when Yamaha and Honda are ok with 125cc versions of their litre classed bikes?


The bigger machines are threatened looks-wise by this era of big looks, small engines.

What would be my Ninja 650R's experience lookswise, if I see 5 another Green 150cc machines on the roads, while going home?
I know there're differences but most are non visible to the amateur eye.

this was bound to happen with yamaha r125, R15, honda cbr 125R in the market...

I do not think it is a kawasaki.. no branding done on the bike. it is a cheap mod.. though the rear tail light is picked from ninja 250r..

The rear mud guard looks better than the one on the n250r.
on the whole looks like a cheap mod job. (no offence anyone).
