Kawasaki Has A Launch Scheduled On Sep 4; Expect Ninja ZX10R

By Ganesh

Earlier this month reports had emerged concerning Kawasaki. The rumor was that the Japanese performance motorcycle maker was considering introducing its liter class motorcycles in India, namely Ninja ZX10R and ZX14R. Here is the good news. The rumor will most definitely turn to reality as soon as September 4th.

Kawasaki has revealed that it has a launch lined up for September 4th, which is a Wednesday. However, what that launch will be is has not been revealed. But we can be sure we'll get either the Ninja ZX10R or better still, both bikes. But the former seems more likely. Kawasaki is not likely to hurry through such a major launch. The Ninja ZX14R is more likely to be introduced after a gap.

Never-the-less, the launch of Kawasaki Ninja would be nothing less than a festival for bike enthusiasts across the country. Both the Ninjas are extremely potent machines, capable of delivering tarmac scorching performance. But only the most skilled riders have what it takes to tame these beasts.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R and Ninja ZX14R generate power in the region of 200 HP and 112 Nm and 163 Nm torque respectively, making the latter the more powerful of the two. Top speeds are electronically limited in both bikes, but they can still hit 300 km/h, while acceleration can only be described as mind boggling.

Since both bikes will come via the route of CBU their price tags (anywhere between INR 15 lakhs to 20 lakhs) will limit their sales, especially considering the weakening Rupee. They are still likely to cost less than their rivals from other brands which is good. Stay tuned.
