Wowowow! Chill guys! Do not provoke and do not get provoked.

Prices may be costly. Or prices may be cheap. Whatever it is... it still remains a momentous occasion that the Ninja is beginning to come to these shores!

prices still not disclosed

I had a visit yesterday to ambe bajaj and one more bajaj pro bike dealer showroom in baner and both the dealer told me that till date they have no idea about the prices, as the company officials are still in deciding mode about pricing, so more details will be disclosed next month

Completely agreed. I too wanted to convey that. Just some one quoted that in Saudi the ninja is being sold for 2.2 lakh INR and hence a price of 3 lakh here is acceptable. That can be accepted only if saudi has no import duties at all.
prices vary based on the economic situation of each country.
I would also like to quote that the comet was sold here as CBU for 1.8 lakh when the Korean price tag was 2500 dollars. Hence a ninja with 4k$ price tag should cost 2.8lakh approx in CBU mode.
Now why every body are blindly accepting a price tag of 3 lakh. I don't understand. I think its because of all the exitement.

Even with most bloated pricing, the Ninja must not cost more than 2.2 max. With 2.2 itself bajaj could make some considerable profit. So no point in telling that a company runs on charity.
Now i feel bajaj might be watchin this thread, and all ppl who are just supporting a 3 lakh price tag are just going to end up bloating the price of ninja. This is also a strategy which are being used by companies. This saves a lot of time for the companies to do survey or indulge manpower in companies expense.

I have a fair exposure to pricing/ marketing, since am in a manufacturing base. Ppl wit similar exposure would accept or can correct if some thing is amiss.

See dude, this is about something called common sense. Cribbing about the price on some random biking forum isn't going to help. It won't make the bike cheaper.

Why don't you understand that the pricing of Ninja doesn't matter? It doesn't matter if its 2 Lakh or 2.5 Lakh. What matters is the competition that follows after its launch. Other big players (Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, etc.) will be launching their bigger bikes and we'll have many more options to choose from. Now that wasn't so difficult to understand, was it?

And please point out where I praised Bajaj. I'm dying to know.

yes yes. They might be very well be going through our(all sites) heated arguements regarding pricing of ninja and take this as an input for their pricing near 3lakh mark. Our pricing speculations might actually increase the price of the product . Lets wait and see, in the mean time let me try contacting my contacts in Bajaj. Last time in the speculations thread, i told bajaj is doing some test with the ninja and now it is evident with the changes in the exhaust. Let me see what i can catch this time. Hope some news is out.

If anyone can get some real details as to what they have done to the silencer&why, please post it here!

I totally agree on this aspect.

Who will buy this baby if it is > 1.5 Lacs

Certainly me...
But not if greater than 2.25 Lacs...

Actually there is already a bajaj pro biking guy who is a member of XBHP..
I guess you all know who he is!!

Can anyone post some specifications of this bike please??

if the ninja is priced between 1-5 to 2-5 then there would be many who would surely go in for the bike.. atleast i would.

&what about the Gixxer then?

so who is that guy ?

welllllllll there is no law against owing 2 SBKs rite

@ wolfpack... whos this guy..?? pm me if u can't disclose it here pls....
