Every serious Indian biker, who has been waiting for a Japanese sportsbike to be lauched in the country, would rejoice on hearing this! The long awaited Kawasaki Ninja 650R will be soon re-launched by Bajaj Auto and the Indian manufacturer’s KTM dealerships will start accepting the bookings for the bike from 15th this month. It may be noted that the bookings for the Ninja 650R, which Bajaj Auto had launched earlier, had been since almost a year now. However, this time around, it is being said the bookings won’t be closed owing to the limited number of bikes allocated to India by Kawasaki and the bike will be available throughout the year. The 2012 Ninja 650R, that will come to us, will sport the revised front end and updated tail section. Powering the 2-12 Ninja 650R is the same 649cc, 72 BHP parallel twin that has been now tweaked for better response in low and mid range. The 2012 model of the 650R that we get also sports an all new twin-spar perimeter frame that should make the bike one step ahead of previous model in terms of handling prowess. As in the international markets, safely expect the upgraded Ninja 650R to come with a small price increase over the last model.
