  • i went to the pro-biking showroom in CP today evening and checked out the bike. It looks big, beefy and really awesome. They had no clues of when the bookings would start. Just waiting for the bookings. Come on Bajaj, just open the doors now!!!!

      Lol! But I am going to buy the Ninja 250 R anyway so I don't have to worry about the CBF250 if it ever comes! Besides, I don't like the CBF250 much anyway...

          It does! I am going to check out the Ninja in Delhi early next week as I am going there on a work related trip! But I guess I will only be able to buy it in first half of November, the way things are looking on the bookings and delivery front in Bangalore! Never has been a wait so sweet...

            Actually, sometime back, Kawasaki had a inline 4 250 cc naked called the Balius. I remember reading the article in BS Motoring sometime back. They even said that at the time, Bajaj were homologating the bike for India.

            Anyways, now is what counts. So, lets enjoy the Baby Ninja

            PS: I'm dying for a test ride. It may be so that a lot of test riders get influenced and end up buying the bike... But as earlier pointed out, half the town will hang out at the PBK outlet and Bajaj might have a crowd control issue

            • As far as 'news' goes, a decade back they were also going to launch the Kawasaki Anhelo, again 250cc, water cooled, et al. never happened. Was a pretty interesting thing, Paris-Dakar inspired styling.

              Now that the Ninja 250R is here, I just hope Bajaj has the ethics, or the legal binding, to be responsible for the product even if the motorcycle is a sales failure. BAL seems to have some maniac at the top screaming SELL SELL.
              Because all they do is to do everything from 20cc upgrades to mixing-and-matching of parts to sell that extra motorcycle.

              Service centre managers actually tell me that parts for my WIND125 are not available because hardly any bikes sold and its not profitable for the company to sell it any more!!

              This sounds off topic but not totally. There is a good chance it will be rockets science to get parts for the Ninja bike very soon. Is there no law that says you have to make parts for a bike available for X amount of years after you launched them?

                  Blah! Blah! Blah! i think we have good enough options for bikes as far as India is concerned. lets not keep on wishing for everything under the sun when less than 10% of the ppl would put their money where their mouth is.

                      And the CBF 250 should be cheaper than the Ninja if it ever makes it to India...
                      Well kawasaki's own Balius II. In fact there were rumors of Bajaj bringing it to Indian a couple of years back !!!

                        Khivraj motors? Yes - no luck. Both the Kasturba road and the 100ft road Bajaj are owned by Khivraj Bajaj.

                        Would love to,when I get my hands on it. I love the Lime green, hope they don't run out of them before the Ninja reaches Bangalore!

                          It'll be launched in Bangalore after a while (read a month later).

                            • Guys, What kind of fuel will it support? I'm considering it, but hardly have India related info's.

                              All I have in Ajmer is Speed, Power, etc types ... I doubt if Ninja could take them comfortably.
