New 250 from Kawasaki is actually a 300.

Looks smexy! But I dont think this would be launched in India before the last quarter of next year

Thats gonna help a lot in hills and on track, home ground for this machine.

Seems like a great option, though I certainly hope that they bring in a slightly more flatter torque curve.

They'll launch Ninja 400, a parallel twin with 42bhp for people who demand more torque.

However, my only concern is that this 300cc with the slipper clutch might push the price substantially - to ~4L. Don't know how many takers would be at this price

bajaj has always priced its bike very sensibly .i dont think it will be 4l as it will be closet to 650r and people will prefer that to the 300r.might be 3.5 exshowroom.
