Bajaj has officially launched the bike in the country today and expect to find a growling 249 cc four-stroke, 32 bhp, DOHC, liquid cooled parallel twin draped in green, with a claimed fuel consumption of 42.5 kpl.
The Ninja will be sold exclusively at Bajaj pro-biking showrooms across the country within the next 3 weeks. The Ninja will be imported as a CKD from Thailand, with staggered deliveries over the next 2-3 months. These showrooms will cater to the complete three S’s – Sales, Service and Spares. The spares will be imported directly from Japan and Thailand.
The Ninja is priced at Rs 2.69 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi.
Bajaj expects to sell 1,000 units of the Ninja 250 R this year and has already assembled 60 units as of now.
Engine and Transmission
Bore x stroke: 62.0 x 41.2mm
Pros:
The Ninja series is renowned for their sharp handling and crisp dynamics, something we’ve been craving for a long time from motorcycles sold in the country and its about time that we have a slice of that pie, no matter how small!
