    Now for the question:
    As far as I know the Ninja 250R being sold in India is brought as a CKD by Bajaj from Indonesia, assembled and sold here at 3+ Lakhs.
    If the 2013 models will be able in Indonesia by this August end (for non ABS) and October (for ABS) why can't we Indians expect this bike latest by the 1st quarter of 2013???
    Sources like Zigwheels claims that this model would be available by 2014. Any particular reason for this? Or am I to believe that the August and October mentioned above are Aug and Oct 2013???
    August and October are definitely 2012 for Indonesia. What ZigWheels did was just a wild guess, just as anyone of us can do. The only source which can tell us the exact time by which the N250 will be available in India or give us the exact guess for the same would be Bajaj themselves.

      The Ninja 250 is actually manufactured in Thailand, not Indonesia. So, the one in India also comes from Thailand.

      It is surprising to note that even though its manufactured in Thailand, Kawasaki chose to announce it to the world in Indonesia

        The classic lime looks a lil odd cuz of the black paneling between the head cowl and side panels.
        The fins sure look like the ones on V2.
        The headlight looks either orgasmic from certain angles or totally an eyesore from the others. I maybe wrong but the headlights look small vis-a-vis the whole masculine body.
        #Personal perspective.
        Sorry, was vague about the top speed. 161kmph was achieved on the track they tested in. Perhaps we have to wait for some more information once the bike is released!

            It's because Indonesia is the largest Ninja market in the world.

              LOL, my bad then. The only option then is to keep pestering Bajaj until they get these in India. I've already sent them a mail enquiring about them .

                Yes, at least bajaj must get an idea about how exited we are, so that they can bring the bike here Quickly..

                And let us know abt their reply, although the usual reply would be,

                "Dear Sir

                Thanks for your mail. Presently we cannot comment you on same as there is no concrete intimation on same from BAL."

                            Though its Indian launch and pricing is still being kept under wraps, Kawasaki will be selling the new Ninja for Rs 2.34 lakh in Japan.
                            whaaat ??

                            make it here and sell it for 1.75, blow the cbr 250 out of the park !

                              i suppose the figures you mentioned are for the euro spec ninja 250r.

                              Indonesia had the carbed version before this. So its an upgrade for that market.

                              Power & Torque figures have only increased slightly over the carbed version.

                                price wont matter much. The Ninja is also more expensive than the CBR 250 in Indonesia. But the CBR just cant match it in terms of sales.

                                These bikes belong to the premium market, and consumers in this category just cannot be attracted by price alone. The Ninja has a far better fan following and its really the only bike in the category which can offer the feel of a big bike at a friendly price (& world class quality)!
