    Kinetic no longer has any ties with Hysoung. And I do not think Hyosung is going to try entering Indian market on its own now. Considering 250cc is considered reasonably "high end" in India and they will not be able to sell enuff numbers to sustain the high costs.

    Also if they decided to bring the 2009 EFI GT250R, then it will be able to compete with the Ninja 250 on performance too (its still slow I admit, but not by that much) !!!!!!

    Also it seems Kawasaki makes only a fixed number of Ninja 250s per year and the 2008 lot got over pretty quickly !!
    Looks like Bajaj may need to pre order a fixed number of bike, which in turn might mean us consumers also have to order pretty much in advance with bajaj or we might have to wait till 2010 to get the bike !!
    I sent the email to kineting for buying comet GT250. But they said not in stock as they get the newer models soon. Man 'soon' words have been heared so much time in the indian bike news category and its almost like a decade for us

      These are some of the latest pictures of the Ninja 250R at the assembly cell at Bajaj (supposedly). Good news, finally guys?

      P.S: Thanks to Samarth for providing the link to these images. Thanks Samarth.

      P.P.S: Ahh! That hideous registration plate.. Damn!

            • Last Monday I went to Suman Bajaj Noida, they told me that the Ninja 250R would only be avialable through exclusive Premium showrooms (which is not - Probiking). As far as Noida goes a place has been finalised in Sector-18 Atta market near ICICI bank, as told by the Service Manager Suman Bajaj.
              He also said, they are waiting for a training schedule for their mechanics now and that, everyone at Bajaj is tight lipped about the launch date and price details of 250R.
              I'd rather be riding my motorcycle thinking about God than sitting in church thinking about my motorcycle.
              Ride often, ride well, have fun.

                What do I intend to do? Stuff ZMR drivetrain into an Ambition chassis and watch others run scared!

                  I see, so mechanics have not received training. We can expect it after 2-3 months & not before it ... Thanks for info!

                    • The number plate is really really huge. Note that it mentions ASSEMBLY CELL & not ASSEMBLY LINE.

                              For this, I'll ask the guy who gave me these photos ... ok?

                              But Bike India is "CONFIDENT" that it will be the Fuel Injected version. It was asked by someone in the Reader's Posts Section ...
