    HDFC Super bike loan: There are some clauses like min 30 years etc ... Do check it out
    Tata Capital: Starts at 8.5% for one year. However they sent some other rate via mail.

    Xbhpians: Has anyone taken any loan with Tata Capital? Anything to look out for? The moment I test "rode" the Ninja, I decided I am missing something in life. Any point waiting for N300?

    Dude, your pic(King Mahabali Riding a Karizma) is one of my batchmate's from Calicut. Are you the guy or just got it off the net ?

    Ninja 250r owners: Any idea of how much it would actually cost in India. On road price in Delhi for N250R was quoted as 3.16lacs (roughly) when I inquired around 4 months back. Since, I won't be getting a dime from home, I need to start saving for it ASAP so I have to take minimum amount of loan. Also, please advice on how you guys managed finances while buying your 250's & 650's?
    Well got a slightly bad news for you..Ninja 250R was for 3.27L last time when I enquired in September. I actually went with a friend to test ride the duke that's when he asked for the Ninja too. I personally saved over 1 L. I bought it in Feb this year when it was for 3.10L. I booked it in Dec and at that time the price was 3.03 on road. They said the price applicable will be the one present at the time of delivery no matter how early you book it (that was so bizzare). anyways, so I ended up taking loan from my company (CSC). They give max 2L loan for 2 years for 0 % interest and that's for any vehical (2 or 4 wheeler). Apart from that I also enquired with Bank of India. the ROI was either 10 point something or 9 point something. Not sure. But I was about to go with them in case my loan was not approved by CSC.

    the ebony and lime green version looks eye poppingly impressive, more so than the simple lime green one, which I never liked.

    Thanks for the comment Sir but I am sorry I do not understand where did Suzuki come in the picture over here. Also Suzuki is a major Japanese manufacturer. ( I hope I am getting it correctly Jap stands for Japanese).

    Kindly correct me if I am wrong. A bit new to this forum.

    Need your comments on this.........

    Guys it seems like Bajaj Auto is focusing more on KTM as most of their Pro-Biking showrooms are being re-branded as KTM with little or no hint of Kawasaki. Does it means Kawasaki does not have a very bright future with Bajaj.

    +1
    I guess he is mixing the feel with GT650N where there was a festive season of 4.5L......

    While we had always known that the all new Ninja 300R is headed to India, a good friend of us has told us that the bike is already in India and is being tested at Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (VRDE). We were further told that ARAI is conducting brake tests for the bike. Bajaj Autos Ltd, Kawasaki’s Indian partner, plans to launch the bike in the fast approaching festive season. The color options for bike include Green, Red and White.

    Does that mean no Black?? If yes then why

    I would go with Red!!!

    0-100 seems to be the same as older Ninja which did a 7.5. But just as i suspected the improved lower end torque means theres a bit of compensation on the top speed.
