Are those colour schemes/decals available from Kawasaki?

Bike looks ultimate in black.
Hope this will be available in India.
Dont know why but i am getting vibes that this machine is going to launched very soon.

Tere muh mein ghee shakkar!
Btw are those bottom holes in the fairing useful for bolting on crash bobbins?

One of my friends father work in Octroi dept in Pimpri (Pune). He has personally inspected a truck carrying Ninja's in Pimpri last week.

Launch on Oct-5-09?

Though I am a mute spectator of all the excitement on this thread. Here is my little contribution! :-)

Bajaj Auto to launch Kawasaki Ninja on Oct 5

Wow Finally She Is Coming...

Eagerly waiting for the thread where we all crib again for Ninja

The motorcycle would be priced between Rs 1.50 lakh and Rs 2 lakh in India. And a new Pulsar Not again pls.

Wow... 1.50/2 lac is better than the speculated 3 lac. Bajaj is on roll here. Bring it on!

OMG! So many Ninjas would roll out on the earth if its priced bet 1.50 to 2.00 lacs...

Vrooooooooooooooooooooooooooommm, Seksi machine man, thanks for the news bro.. You made my day..

Rs. 1.5-2 lakh.. That's a Big Big BIG surprise..

EDIT: Stunning pic there...

Looks stunning. We have to see how affordable it is.

sorry new pulsar is indeed coming with 150 DTS-Si 2.0 engine
and a completely new sporty bike(125 or 135) is also going to come
dont ask me the source

The Ninja 250R is considered to be an entry-level sports bike

its considered as almost most powerful superbike in india

So some official dates finally.. good.

But 1.5 - 2.0 lakhs..?? Too good to be true.. i'd say. Somehow I feel that the final price tag would be higher (though I would absolutely not mind a lower price tag).

Something smells fishy here. The statement "The motorcycle would be priced between Rs 1.50 lakh and Rs 2 lakh in India. "The bookings would start just ahead of Diwali and the deliveries would happen immediately," Bajaj stated.", raises a few eyebrows.

I mean, the article says that the bike is going to be launched on october 5th, that means there are just 12 odd days left bedore launch. Now what this article suggests is that even 12 days before that launch of a major product, the MD of the company does not have a specific price for the product! Somehow I find that hard to believe.

This could mean either of the following two things, as far as i can think.
1. The MD is trying to keep the price a secret from the competition for as long as he can by giving a broad range spanning Rs. 50k. This would serve a two fold purpose: keep the buzz going in the market and give sleepless nights to competitors which they will spend wondering whether the price is possible and how can they repond to it.
2. The announcement is merely a better iteration of the earlier announcements where bajaj just gave a random month for the launch of ninja. Now they have started prefixing the month with a date.
