Er, I really thought you got it the first time. I was referring to technical changes sir, not literally "feeling" the bike. What is your definition of "small capacity"? And what is your source for the same?

oh ok. my bad then.

Well, im not too well-versed with the exact contract details that Bajaj shares with Kawasaki. However, small capacity must be in the region of upto 200cc.

Since the first lot of the Eliminator was a CKD too and it came directly from Kawasaki. Apart from sticker changes that bike too had no alterations from Bajaj Auto's side. Later Bajaj localised it in due course of time.

The 250 is an international model and Kawasaki will not allow any of its JV to make any changes to it for any specific market. The US gets a carb, because Kawasaki actually ran a wide survey in the US and majority of the people there voted for a carb 250.

Probably yes.Because the image is too small as if someone again tried doing a sting operation

.Things will be clear once some xBhpain go there and post more details.

@Pune xBhpians- Shame on you guys.The thread was started at 6.00.You guys had full one and half hour to have a peep at the bike.I will try to be there tomorrow evening.Let's see.

@pranay-Yes on second look it seems like matt black to me.And what's with the green seat.Who all are liking it?

I think that would be a single-seat cowl on the display bike?

In excitement people are missing the changes I guess.

The silencer is different and looks better. The rear tail panel is black in colour or grey?

Is it the same Silencer that was displayed attached to Pulsar 220, in Auto Expo?

Remember, that silencer with Carbon Fibre Resemblance? I think its the same one, maybe Bajaj reserved it specially for Ninja ...

Wrong information there buddy. The Eliminator was never a C.K.D. Other than the engine and carb most cycle parts were made in India. C.K.D. is when the full vehicle is imported brought down in parts and assembled locally with small changes made locally. And my source is very reliable. MG could confirm this.

Right. Correct. It was manufactured at the Aurangabad plant. But that was also because the bike was exported to Southasian markets and Bajaj was a manufacturing hub for Kawasaki for certain models including the Eliminator.

Yeaaaay..!

Awesome news . The game has been taken up one step ahead.

The pricing is always a KEY issue.

But then again this is not exactly a huge volume bike so ..

**julyone_modi** · 08-20-2009, 09:14 PM

hope...hope for the good!!!

**Bestofrivals** · 08-20-2009, 09:18 PM

So the Green Machine is finally there, possibilities are more of an early launch

but if price is around 3 lacs then its fully out of budget

. Fingers cross

**chicane1879** · 08-20-2009, 09:33 PM

Awesome. Seems like a different treatment to the silencer end.

And i am sincerly hoping and praying for the 3 lakhs things to be untrue!!

**joeprodigy** · 08-20-2009, 09:33 PM

Ninja launched.....that's great...but 3 lakhs !....I dnt know !!

**MR ACE** · 08-20-2009, 09:34 PM

So the good times are rolling

**velociraptor13** · 08-20-2009, 09:35 PM
