Kawasaki Ninja 250 launch on October 5!

Sure bro, here's what the news article says:-->

Quote:

Bajaj Auto Ltd is all set to launch the Kawasaki Ninja 250R motorcycle in India on October 5. The Ninja 250R is considered to be an entry-level sports bike manufactured by Japanese two-wheeler maker Kawasaki. The bike would be priced between Rs 1.50 lakh and Rs 2 lakh.

There has been a lot of speculation about the launch of the Ninja and now finally the launch is happening. If brought in with minimal changes from its international configuration, expect a proper cracker of a 250cc motorcycle. The international model sports Kawasaki's Unitrak suspension, a 250cc liquid cooled parellel twin engine and if Bajaj keep the tinkering to a minimum, you should be rubbing your hands in glee.
The bookings would start just ahead of Diwali and the deliveries would happen immediately, Bajaj Auto MD Rajiv Bajaj stated. He added that a new version of Pulsar would also be launched within three months.

The company, which saw a sharp dip in sales last financial year, seems to be coming out of the slump. It is selling more than 250,000 motorcycles a month (including exports). This is a huge jump from the 110,000-unit figure almost a year ago. The jump in sales has resulted in the two-wheeler manufacturer facing a capacity shortage.

We are experiencing production shortage in case of Discover and Pulsar motorbikes, as sales of these two models are jointly expected to hit 130,000 units this month. The availability of tyres for these vehicles is under pressure. This has created a certain waiting period for these two models, Bajaj added.

I say, take that mentioned price (1.5-2L) with a pinch of salt!

yeah and ill come with some spades and pitch forks as well.. (that would be equal force.. old tech to old tech)

on the other hand, i actually would not mind Bajaj messing up with Ninja 250 to bring it under 2L mark.

bajaj already makes some stuff for kawasaki, and kawasaki is not able to meet demand in production for 250r in US, so may be shift some of their manufacturing to Bajaj and then 1 year down the lane, the ninja for 1.5L, ah there i go dreaming again.. bad thread bad thread.
