But honestly, BAJAJ could have sold/booked better no. Of ninja 250 if they had promoted it the way they promoted Pulsar's.
No ad campaigns, no TV adds, no POSTERS etc, shows how much serious they are to sell 250.

Well i agree to you that promotion part was missing for Ninja 250 but the thing is that at present demand is overshooting supply. They intended to sell 10 units but demand already went up to double thrice the amount they expected so they dont wanna promote it anymore.Originally posted by Shanz View Post
The hype around Ninja was already so high months before launch and Bajaj encashed on it, i think (personally my opinion) that its no use creating ads, promotions and then creating a backlog of waitings amounting to 2-4 months like the Swift VDi

^^ if they make the hype with advertisements and thru the media, and then offer the customer a 3 month waiting period, it really doesnt make sense does it??? Let them sort out their demand and supply issues, then they should look at advertising.
Also when its selling without spending on advt, then whats the harm!!

I think my one is bust (or the battery is dead) though the same lock which I got for startrek (praveen) seems to be working fine.Originally posted by anil14975 View PostComment

^^ the rim tapes are genuine Yamaha, and of the reflective type, so they should last well.
The stickering on the side fairing, maybe 2-3 months, then ill change em( i think ill get bored by then).

arrey! as a typical customer with a typical mindset, i haven't asked for a roof with an acOriginally posted by TenHut View Post
and i can imagine you furiously keying away,
some words by few at other places--
So bajaj decided to make a profit of 70000 off 1000 customers, instead of 20000 off 10,000. Same investment in terms of training, dealerships.
1 litre bike 13L on road, 250 cc - 3L. Sounds fair until you realize that the duty on 1000cc bikes is 110%, as opposed to the 11% that bajaj is paying on this bike.
"Mature enough to ride this"? You are either mature enough to ride anything. Or nothing at all.
some more--
See the price as for as i heard is 2.65 Ex showroom... And in US the price of 2010 version of Ninja is around 4500 US$ so its around 2.2... And if we import it in india there is a tax of 15 % (I am not sure about the %)
some more--(though not very relevant)if bajaj wasn't associated with this motorcycle it should have sold like anything...
Selling more, means many more Ninja's to service. Which i doubt if BAL can service that number, without affecting the service quality...
*some more--by many enthusiasts who were waiting patientlyLast edited by sheelpriye; 01-15-2010, 10:57 AM.Comment

I am sure most would agree that I shouldn't indulge you... but still have to clear the cloud.Originally posted by sheelpriye View Post
Firstly, and hopefully the last time .. the US model is Carb.. the one in India is Fuel injected just like the ones in Europe and Japan. Now I will give u the prices there:
UK > 4099 GBP = Rs. 305186.
Japan > 528,000 YEN = Rs. 264204
germany > 4795 Euro = Rs. 315562
and these are the prices listed in on the Kawi website.... so i am not talking about the insurance and other expenses.
All the other points are so baseless... that I won't even bother.sigpicI feel like Clark Kent on the streets riding the Pulsar, On the track.. with my Ninja.. I feel like Superman.Comment

and the Kawi US/UK and others are making profits on it, aren't they?Originally posted by killer_instinct View Post
what about the 11% bajaj is paying over 110-115% we have to shell out for 1000cc,
bajaj is making very fat profits, no two ways about it,Comment

Can anyone check whether the R15's paddock stand can be used on the Ninja too? It doesn't require swingarm spools&costs Rs.1500 only!
@Midnight: How much is Bajaj selling that paddock stand for? What about the swingarm spools?
@All: Any other accessories Bajaj is selling other than the stand&single seat cowl?Last edited by Sarvajit; 01-15-2010, 02:23 PM.Quench my thirst with gasoline!Comment

+1 for the letters in bold. when we compare the pricing of the Ninja in India it is on par with the rest of the world. ex showroom price-UK 3.05L, Japan 2.64L, Germany 3.15 L , India 2.7 L.now Indian customers are paying less than their counterparts in other countries. so Ninja is not over priced in India.Originally posted by killer_instinct View Post
what are you talking about. doesnt make any sense.thanks to Bajaj if you decide to buy ninja in India today,you end up paying less than what you would in UK or Germany or Australia.Originally posted by sheelpriye View Post
whereas if you decide to buy the fireblade or the R1 here you will end up paying twice the price of the bike than you would in UK , Germany, and US.
kawasaki UK / germany/ are making profit on these bikes and selling it at 3L exshowroom. Bajaj is paying 11% tax on the ninja and selling it at 2.7L exshowroom. now i believe we are getting a fair deal here.unless someone wants to buy the ninja at the price of the splendor. please dont make baseless statements and pollute the thread here. if you have the proof provide the same here otherwise spare the thread for ownership discussions only." if WRONG is a T-shirt ; then wearing it inside out doesn't make it RIGHT "Comment
