Kawasaki has established itself as a prominent player in the Indian motorcycle market, offering a diverse range of bikes to cater to various enthusiasts. Starting with the affordable Kawasaki W175 at a price of Rs 1.22 Lakh, the lineup extends to high-performance machines like the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX, priced at Rs 32.95 Lakh. This broad spectrum ensures options for different budgets and riding preferences.
Popular Kawasaki models in India span several categories, including Superbikes, Sports bikes, Naked Sports, Street bikes, Commuters, Cruisers, Adventure Tourers, Sports Tourers, Dirt bikes, Scramblers, and Off-Road motorcycles. For instance, models like the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, priced at Rs 17.93 Lakh, and the Kawasaki Z900, available for Rs 9.38 Lakh, are highly sought after in the performance segment. Even entry-level sports bikes like the Kawasaki Ninja 300, priced at Rs 3.43 Lakh, offer a taste of Kawasaki’s engineering prowess. The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R comes in at Rs 11.53 Lakh, while the top-tier Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX ranges from Rs 32.91 to 32.95 Lakh.
Kawasaki’s journey in India began in 2009 through a partnership with Bajaj Auto, introducing models like the Ninja 250, followed by the Ninja 650 and ER-6N. Their success led to importing flagship models like the Ninja ZX-14R and Ninja ZX-10R. A key factor in Kawasaki’s popularity is its wide range of motorcycle types, including off-road options like the KLX series.
After ending its partnership with Bajaj in 2017, Kawasaki continued its successful run in India, focusing on localizing components and assembly, even for high-capacity bikes. Looking ahead, Kawasaki is expected to launch new models like the Kawasaki Z500, Kawasaki Versys X 300, and Kawasaki Z400 in India, anticipated in 2025, further expanding their offerings and solidifying their position in the market.
