@ pulsar_flame :-I have no complaints on ninja.,but there are three "S" for a company to excell...Sales.,Spares.,Service.Bajaj can manage the first two "S"..,but what about Service.,how they are going to manage ???

Pune PBK are liars for that matter. Few minutes back only the person there told me "Bookings have not started yet and they will start sometime next week." When I asked when approximiately it will begin next week, the person said "We are not sure as we have no information from company on this."

Hey, this was my info. I do not know whether this is hundred percent true or not. However, if I was Mr. Bajaj, I will dump whole lot of 1000 bikes on the market immediately when the excitement is high and rake in money.

Do you want to say that.. You are also going to Book it..?

No idea yaar I paid in cash

Have you ever wondered why nobody else manufactures a 250cc twin with 30ish bhp anymore? It is simply because with this kind of power, you will get bored quickly and easily and when your mates make a bigger step to a 400 or 600 you will be left behind. There are no examples I can think of but that hardly makes the Ninja is a revelation!


Says who? there are nice examples of 250cc and 350 parallel and v-twin exotic 2 strokes out there that need a little love and attention. These can be had for 50k - 1L and with another 1L budget you can turn them into an absolute HOOT. I'm not saying 2-strokes is the guaranteed path to motoring nirvana but I am staggered that a 4-stroke 250cc at 3L is a more attractive proposition to some. This just goes to show how little choice we have and I don't think a buying decision should be made when there is no alternative. It is better to wait and watch.


What if I told you that there is a manufacturer who is testing a 250cc parallel twin made right here at home in India? And even if they did come CBU route - perhaps these bikes will have additional features and benefits and perhaps not. But choice is important in my opinion...no matter what the price point.

I agree...it is a good bike for the money but for that kind of money I expect to be thrilled every time I ride the bike and I don't believe "thrills" are what the baby Ninja can deliver.

For the Indian market which hasn't experienced anything near this quick since they shut down the 2-strokes...yes it will be an interesting experience. But you may well be kicking yourself when the 400s, 600s etc. start showing up at various dealerships. A 3L down payment for a 6L - 7L bike will get you more bike for easily manageable EMIs.

Mr. Mohd Imran famously known as B2L is the first one to book the Ninja in entire india, and he might be getting the delivery of his Ninja on coming monday.

@vijay yes your are right how bajaj going to do the perfect service for the bike is the main ?, but also one service will cost around 1500rs with oil..if we give to out side mech lets say a good one the warranty will not count in, so for sure we have to give service in probiking only. 6 paid service 9000rs will bajaj do it ? lets hope for the best.

Question: Of what use is the Free trade agreement between India and Thailand?

I suppose the import duties are drastically lowered. If so, why cant this apply for bikes

PS: I wish a day comes when the government totally removes the import duty for sportbikes

But, the question is, will a 400/600 cc bike come to India soon, say within 2 yrs?

Many people prefer to go for a brand new bike with assured after sales support. A second hand 2 stroke offers none of that. Of course, I am not speaking for myself here, but simply for the general public.

And will it be better in performance than the Ninja? I doubt that. But yes, more choice is always good.

Obviously, the Ninja is not for a guy like you!

Yes, and it will take at least 2 yrs for that to happen. Till then, this is the best option we have. Of course, some people may decide to wait for 2 more years. The choice is theirs to make.

@MG and NV: Kya yaar! why didn't you tell us guys? You tested the bike at chakan track!

Guys! that's NV on the bike on cover page!

so he might get the key frm some top officials huh
be sure to hold a green helmet with XBHP on it for the papers!!

i do not agree with your earlier point that more bikes better service, look what bajaj has done to pulsar service.

At least you get spares for Pulsar everywhere and every mechanic is familiar with these bikes.

Compare it with say the Comet, which was sold it low numbers.
