Kawasaki To Sell Motorcycles In India

Kawasaki have confirmed reports that they will be start selling motorcycles in India by the middle of next year. The motorcycles will be made in collaboration with Bajaj Auto.

The company also said that it planned to license Bajaj the technical know how for producing motorcycles with engine capacity of 150cc or more. So most likely the first Kawasaki branded motorcycle to be produced in India (after a long time at that) will be a 150. Also it most likely will go against the likes of the Yamaha R15 and not the current crop of 150s in the market.

While there is still no update on the Ninja 250, which is due for launch in July via the CKD/SKD route. I hope this latest development will not have an adverse effect on it. Bajaj will sure have its hands full with so many motorcycles under development both with KTM and Kawasaki.
