Smile Bajaj to launch Ninja 250 in May-June 09

Just Read a wonderful piece of news in Economics Times today and thought of sharing it with everyone...

Quote:
PUNE-BASED Bajaj Auto will launch sports bike Ninja 250 from technology partner Kawasaki in the next four to five months, while it gears up to introduce motorcycle, jointly developed with Austrian firm KTM by next year.

“The Kawasaki Ninja 250 will be launched by May or June,” MD Rajiv Bajaj said, while launching the company’s executive segment bike XCD 135 DTSSI, which has been priced at Rs 45,000. He said the Kawasaki Ninja 250 is expected to be priced above Rs 2 lakh.

On the company’s plans to introduce motorcycles from Austrian bike maker KTM, in which BAL has over 25% stake, he said the first of the jointly developed products will be launched by next year. “The bigger bikes from KTM like the Duke and RR will be assembled in our facility. Their introduction has been delayed a bit. But we have been developing two bikes with engine capacity above 125 cc with KTM. The first of the jointly developed bikes will be launched next year,” Mr Bajaj said.

News Approved.

I think finally some good news, more so since it is straight from the horse's mouth (Bajaj officials). However, the pricing would play a crucial role. Rs.2 lakhs+, he says? Hmmmm...

So, the wait is on. May - June, 2009, and NOT 2010, right!!?
