200 Units Of Kawasaki Ninja 250R Sold
Bajaj India has managed to sell 200 units of the Kawasaki Ninja 250R . Bajaj tries to justify why the Kawcker is such a hit by saying "What makes this motorcycle unique is its near-perfect combination of performance, riding comfort and ease of handling. As a result it is as popular among casual riders as it among serious enthusiasts. In India, in a market cluttered with overpowered litre class motorcycles, the Kawasaki Ninja 250R will be the only supersport motorcycle whose performance is practical for Indian conditions. And with a price tag of less than Rs.3 lacs, it is well within reach of those seeking a super sport motorcycle."
