Kawasaki recently launched the 2012 Ninja 650R in global markets. The 2012 edition of the middle weight Ninja has received many changes, which although might look minute, are quite significant. Changes have been made to the front fairing, fuel tank, seats and tail section. A new twin-spar perimeter frame debuts on the 2012 Ninja 650R, which is stiffer and has improved handling. The engine of the Kawasaki Ninja 650R is largely unchanged with the 650 cc motor getting minute tweaks to better the low and mid-range power delivery. The Ninja 650R continues to produce 72 BHP of peak power at 8500 RPM and 65 Nm of peak torque at 7000 RPM. [click to continue…]
The 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 650R/ER-6F has finally broken cover and wasting no time we head straight to the looks of it. Plenty of things have changed in this bike to give it a more razor sharp feel. The front fascia has been modified a bit and the changes extend to the fuel tank, front fairing, tail section and also the seats. The heart of the bike, the 650cc motor producing 72 bhp with DOHC, 8 valve liquid cooling has been kept the same though the company claims to have tinkered with the bottom and mid range power delivery making it more fun to ride.

Hyosung launched the GT650R with utmost enthusiasm but greenery came and wiped them away. We are talking about the Kawasaki Ninka 650R, which came, saw and conquered the 600cc segment in no time. Bajaj Auto has sold out the allocated quantity of the Ninja 650R in India and has registered 150 bookings of the motorcycle. This has resulted in bookings being closed till October, 2011 as the company works hard in delivering the bikes to the customers. So if you intend to buy a Ninja 650R, you will have to wait for four months to book one. Garware Motors has something to be happy about.
Bajaj Auto has just now launched the Kawasaki Ninja 650R in India. The company unveiled the bigger Ninja to the media for the first time at its corporate office in Akurdi, Pune. The bike is available in lime green color only. The company has priced the Ninja 650R (Non-ABS) at Rs. 4.57 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi) and Rs. 4.62 lakhs (ex-showroom, Mumbai). This will make the bigger Ninja cheaper than the Hyosung GT650R (its only rival) at an on-road price of under Rs. 5 lakhs. The company has positioned the Ninja 650R between the 1000 units per month selling 250cc bikes and 35 units per month selling 1000cc and above bikes. Bajaj expects to sell 35 units of the Ninja 650R every month and has plans to bring in higher capacity machines from Kawasaki’s international line up. The Ninja 650R is available for bookings for a sum of Rs. 50,000/-. [click to continue…]
Hyosung’s second coming in India won’t be such a smooth sale as pricing details of the Kawasaki Ninja 650R have finally emerged. Bajaj Auto has priced the Ninja 650R at Rs. 4.5 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi). This undercuts the Hyosung GT650R by a significant margin, which is the only bike the ER6 Kwacker will compete with. What motorcycle enthusiasts can now expect is a revision of prices from Garware Motors. Also factoring in the price of the Kawasaki Ninja 250R which sells for Rs. 2.75 lakhs (ex-showroom), the Ninja 650R costs exactly twice as much. But is it twice the bike? We hope it is more than twice. [click to continue…]

Bajaj Auto is heavily betting on the upcoming Kawasaki Ninja 650R as the company plans to expand its territory beyond 250cc machines in the country. The Ninja 650R (also known as ER 6F) could be launched anytime soon, with a 8th June launch doing the rounds. The company has already commenced trial production (using CKD units from Thailand) of the 650cc beast at its Chakan facility. The Ninja 650R will create a stir when it arrives here in a couple of months time. It will rival the Hyosung GT650R, but with Bajaj Auto opting for localization, we expect the Ninja 650R to be priced very competitively.
Bajaj Auto recently started teasers of the Kawasaki Ninja 650R and now as per Autocar India, the launch of this mean machine is just weeks away. The Ninja 650R (also known as ER-6F) is powered by a 649cc, four stroke, parallel twin, liquid cooled, fuel injected motor. The faired Ninja produces all of 72 bhp at 8500 RPM and will be assembled at Bajaj’s facility in Chakan. The CKD bike is expected to be priced at around Rs. 5.5 lakhs, and if that price is on-road including registration and insurance then someone known with the name Hyosung GT650R is going to have sleepless nights.
