Ninja bikes | India | Bajaj | Kawasaki
 It’s just a matter of time now before you could step into a Bajaj Pro-Biking showroom and ride off with one of these. Yes, it is official that the first bike from the Kawasaki stable will be the one on this page - the new 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R.
Bajaj has officially launched the bike in the country today and expect to find a growling 249 cc four-stroke, 32 bhp, DOHC, liquid cooled parallel twin draped in green, with a claimed fuel consumption of 42.5 kpl. The Ninja will be sold exclusively at Bajaj pro-biking showrooms across the country within the next 3 weeks. The Ninja will be imported as a CKD from Thailand, with staggered deliveries over the next 2-3 months. These showrooms will cater to the complete three S’s – Sales, Service and Spares. The spares will be imported directly from Japan and Thailand. The Ninja series is renowned for their sharp handling and crisp dynamics, something we’ve been craving for a long time from motorcycles sold in the country and its about time that we have a slice of that pie, no matter how small! Price: Rs 2.69 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi. Bajaj expects to sell 1,000 units of the Ninja 250 R this year and has already assembled 60 units as of now. |
