BAJAJ AUTO LAUNCHES MUCH AWAITED KAWASAKI NINJA 250R

BEST 250cc MOTORCYLCE IN THE WORLD

AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH PROBIKING OUTLETS

New Delhi 7th October 2009: Bajaj Auto, today announced the launch of the much awaited Kawasaki Ninja 250R in India. It is widely acknowledged as the best 250 cc motorcycle in the world. In India it will be available exclusively through Bajaj Probiking showrooms.

Powered by a 249cc parallel twin engine that belts out 33PS of power, it is a true supersport motorcycle that draws its lineage from the legendary larger Kawasaki Ninjas. But 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. Not surprisingly it is the LARGEST SELLING 250 cc motorcycle in the world.

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 supersport motorcycle.

Available EXCLUSIVELY through BAJAJ PROBIKING showrooms, the Kawasaki Ninja 250R will be backed with Probiking service facilities and spare parts availability.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Eric Vas, President (New Projects) Bajaj Auto said “ We conceived Bajaj Probiking 4 years back with the objective of making it the automatic destination for bike enthusiasts looking for looking for ‘bigger and sportier’ bikes. After the Bajaj Avenger DTS-i and the flagship Pulsar 220 DTS-i, the launch of the Kawasaki Ninja 250R is one of many initiatives lined up in realizing that objective”
