Bajaj never gave any launch dates , it was the news agencies which spread the rumours.Its not their fault that we are expecting it to come.

NEW DELHI: Bajaj and Kawasaki have announced they will bring big bikes to India. Amongst the bikes being considered for launch is the recently launched Ninja250.

This product designed by Kawasaki for the United States, Europe and Japan is powered by an eight-valve DOHC liquid cooled 250 cc fuel injection [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]engine[/color][/color] developing 30 PS at 10,500 rpm. Combined with the 6-speed transmission the Ninja 250 is a performer.

In addition, other big Kawasaki bikes being considered for the domestic market include the Sports Roadster the ER-6n, Super Sports bikes the Ninja ZX-6R and the Z1000, and the Vulcan Cruiser.

The Kawasaki bikes would be retailed through the chain of hi-end Bajaj Probiking showrooms. The company had kick-started the Probiking initiative in 2005 with the launch of the Pune showroom. Today ten Probiking showrooms are operational with presence in all major markets with ten more to go on-stream by end of Fiscal 2008.

Designed for professional bikers the showrooms house state-of the art interactive terminals and offer prospective Probikers a chance to test-ride the bikes on specially designed Indoor Dynamometers. Kawasaki, Japan will also provide the necessary service training and parts back-up to ensure that the hi-performance bikes are in peak condition and fully live up to the expectations of the Probikers.

The big bike initiative is in continuation of the partnership between the two companies. The technical collaboration since the 80s grew in 2004 when Kawasaki commenced distributing Bajaj bikes in the Philippines.

When it says announced, that means a formal announcement to the press.And that announcement i suppose is enough to keep anyone waiting...

what do you guys want...... Rahul Bajaj will come and say,"..... and we are happy to announce that, to show our commitment to our customers, we will launch Ninja250 in India in collaboration with Kawasaki by May'09....."

+1 to that.

it says - Bajaj and Kawasaki have announced they will bring big bikes to India. Amongst the bikes being considered for launch is the recently launched Ninja250.

No dates , no confirmation of even the 250r , says other bikes being considered are er6n and zx6r which do not qualify with 800cc+ rule , don't you think news like these have enough mirch masala in them and no actual content.Its more of 'authors imagination' in addition to the one line news that BAL and Kawa will big bring big bieks to India.Other stuff is just a space filler.

^^^ Well if you check closely, the first post of this thread clearly speaks about the official news of the ninja launch. Anyways better we end this "discussion"

here, before the moderators charge us for going OT

**Devilpulsarian** · 05-12-2009, 05:19 PM

Anyways, can anyone post the exact dates if announced by bajaj...?

Moreover, does anybody know that Hero Honda was to launch 12 products last year and they did......

....beleve it or not.....

**niks_devil666** · 05-12-2009, 05:31 PM

Last confirmed news - “The Kawasaki Ninja 250 will be launched soon by May or June and is likely to be priced above Rs 2 lakh,” Mr Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director, Bajaj Auto said.Statement in 3rd Week Jan 09.

**Lost Soul** · 05-12-2009, 06:35 PM

Rajiv Bajaj has become like a politician , says a lot but doesnt hold his promises and keeps delaying things

As Samarth said,wait for May end and if nothing happens, lets lock this thread.

Yes, until then lets speculate with the rumours that we hear from "reliable sources" and Dealers and showroom sources!

BTW, 125 cc liquid cooled??? didn't expect that. Let us start some speculation then... 4 valves? 14 PS?

As I said on top there.

Finally there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Yes I'm talking about Ninja

.

Light? What light? Com'on you can't be serious! Do not play with us yet again. Not you MG, you are a Moderator!

Therefore the the Bajaj-KTM 125 cc can safely be assumed 15 Ps.

I love assumptions like this.

There is definitely something you know and we don't.

I doubt!

This is good, now we have a 2nd speculation thread!

Instead of locking this thread, I think it is better to merge this thread with the speculation thread.

That is what this is until 2010.

**dushyant** · 05-12-2009, 08:54 PM

good idea, let's merge it with the 2009 speculation thread and rename it 2009-10 speculation thread

**svjhonda** · 05-12-2009, 10:08 PM

^
If that happens, there will be such a hell lot of speculation, that ultimately when the bike will actually be launched, it will disappoint everyone

I vote for waiting till May end, and then locking the thread.

PS: The Kolkata probiking showroom is cleared of all the old 180s, 200s and 220s. Even the Avenger is removed. Anybody knows why? Is the showroom closing down (

) or is it a hint that new bikes (the 2009 180 & 200 for now) are coming???

Announcement

Bajaj-KTM 125, 250 & KTM 690s releasing in Auto Expo 2010.
