Kawasaki Ninja 650 sports bike prices slashed by Rs 40,000

India Kawasaki Motors has made the Ninja 650 motorcycle more affordable in the country by introducing a Rs 40,000 price cut. The mid-weight sportsbike, which was priced at Rs. 5,37,420, ex-showroom Delhi, now costs Rs. 4,97,420.

The motorcycle based on twin-tube perimeter steel frame employs 41mm Telescopic front fork and mono offset suspension at rear, which is seven steps adjustable.

The Ninja 650 measures 2,110mm in length, 770mm in width and 1,180mm in height and has a wheelbase of 1,410mm. It has 130mm ground clearance, 211kg kerb weight and 16-litres of fuel tank capacity.
