Kawasaki will announce their 2017 line-up for India on March 25, with reports suggesting that the Japanese bike-makers could either update their current line-up or introduce new models. However, Kawasaki has not revealed much details, we expect Kawasaki to bring in some new products for India with an eye on getting back in the segment. Kawasaki recently launched the Ninja ZX10RR in India for Rs 21.9 lakh (ex showroom, New Delhi).
Now, Kawasaki has big plans for India as the company is to launch new important models. According to reports, Kawasaki will bring in the updated 2017 Ninja 300 and 2017 Ninja 650. Moreover, Kawasaki could also introduce the new Z650 and Z900 and replace the ER-6n and the Z800 respectively in India.
Apart from this, reports also suggest that Kawasaki could also introduce the W800 retro-styled motorcycle, which the company had showcased in Pune last year. However, contradictory media reports say that Kawasaki has dropped the plant to introduce the W800 completely in India for reasons unknown.
We had earlier reported that the company is mulling to bring in the W800 cruiser, which is a throwback to the classic motorcycles of the bygone era. The W800 was first introduced in 2007 and is at the end of its life cycle in Europe, where it will be discontinued this year due to stringent emission norms.
