ok it price in usa is 3999$x45=179955 Rs so wot say you so is the 3lac tag ok now

Fi non Fi does make a difference

can we have a little less no. of smilies

i think this price will be reduced ...first let the CBR get launched here

By saying cheaper parts i meant cheaper raw materials, cheaper labour etc.

all i can say is when they sell it at 179000 rs in usa why not a similar price in india when the bike is made here or assembld here

no... i'm actually asking.

less than 2 lac?

i'd say the pricing is nearly justified... it could have been priced better yea...
but with superb build quality, excellent ride quality, brick-wall'esque braking...

the ninja has no competition here...
there's just one proper 250 to choose from...
so they have no reason for competitive pricing.

remember how Sony Vaio's were priced at Sony Center's before the "mall explosion"???

that may change soon... it should.

but... for me... once the revs are up...
and the second cylinder kicks in...
it's worth what it's priced at here.

To each his own. You think its overpriced. Dont buy it. Nothing wrong with that. Whats the point of polluting this thread with wishful thinking? This thread is to post information about the event to celebrate sale of 1000 Ninjas in India.

If you must talk about the pricing, do that either in the ownership thread (preferable not to) or in the speculation threads.

IAF that's the price for carburetter version...we get FI version add to that we have to pay hefty import duties to it...but still i feel it's costly

It is not a Fuel Injected Bike. Can you please check facts before posting something?

+1

Is it made here or assembled here or are you confused?

Please refer your earlier post where you said that you don't wish to argue. Are you still of the same mind? If not, let's continue the duel.

+1+1+1

Like I said earlier, why do you feel it is costly? and if you feel it is costly, don't buy it (like hyperion said)

Owners of this bike know its true value and felt that it is value for their hard earned money so bought it. Why should other complain about it?

well im not into 250cc any ways but wanted to point out when u said its the same price as in uk then wot about usa pricin any ways i want to knw when we r getin zx-6r and zx-10r bike's here

The bikes are different. The UK model is Fuel injected and the US model is carb.

I wish the Ninja250R had been cheaper. Say 2 lacs. I also wish it were more powerful at 2 lacs. Say 650cc. I dont care if they come down with their service and their quality. They can give me no quality but I want it to be cheaper.
I also wish it were a 650cc inline 4 at 2 lacs
I wish it were available in orange and blue.
I wish the seat cowl were free.
I wish the average were about 40+kmpl at 2 lacs

i just wish it came with the two brothers exhaust as stock...

even if the price were 2 lac ex-showroom... i wouldn't mind.

Everbody is make a wish is it diwali dhamaka offer ?

i wish they offer ek pe ek ninja free free free freee

@To all - There is not benefit in becoming intolerant while listening to the views of others. Few facts can be exchanged without any sense of enimity whatsoever like this-

(i) Ninja 250 is definitely an expensive bikes not only to own but to maintain also;
(ii) Still 1,000 people have courage to own it(Category A);
(iii) Others don't have money(Category C);
(iv) Or are not courageous to own it at that cost if they have money(Category B);
(v) Cat.A is adamant, therefore, won't bother about its affordability even if it involves utilising hard-earned money earmarked for other aspects of life or it involves robbing a bank;
(vi) Cat.B is intelligent, won't buy that bike at that price;
(vii) Cat.C, since has no money, has no right.


But does Cat.A has a right to ask Cat.C to shut up since he has no money or ask Cat.B to ignore his IQ or shut up on an open forum when enough Mods are there to look into the things.

As the position of Cat. B and Cat.C is clear and unchangeable , the best approach of Cat.A to the criticism of the price of Ninja 250 would have been like, say, 'OK, it is expensive, since I can afford it, I would afford it anyway'.

How about R1 or CBR owner using the same logic. Anyway, the Cat.B and Cat.C class (Cattle class as they are called) are complaining about companies pricing their products out of their reach or irrationally (due to whatever reasons) and are not complaining about Cat.A's adamant behaviour of buying a product at all costs. Just think.

Also, would like to add on the main subject of the thread that since it was priced three times of R-15's cost, I expected it to have a 1/3rd sale figures of R-15. So, at least, in first year, it could have sold 3,500-4,000 before stabilising in later years at 800-1,000 Ninjas per year. Though, we don't know whether it exceeded or fell short of the real expectations of Kawasaki. 1,000 figure in 1st year and a trickle down in remaining years do not augur well for the model. All the best to Baby N. Anyone knows how much do they sell in Asean countries?
