KATHMANDU: After generating overwhelming response in India, Bajaj Auto today announced the launch of the much-awaited Kawasaki Ninja 250R. It is widely acknowledged as the best 250 cc motorbike in the world. In Nepal, it will be available exclusively through the recently-opened Bajaj Probiking Corner at HH Bajaj in Kathmandu. Commenting on the launch, Hansraj Hulashchand and Co-executive director Shekhar Golchha said, “We are very pleased to launch the super sports Kawasaki Ninja 250R in Nepal which has unmatched performance yet at an affordable price”. He added that it is the no. 1 selling bike in the world. The sales target as stated by Golchha is about 100-150 bikes within 2010. However, fifteen bikes have been already booked before the launch. The bike — powered by a 250cc parallel twin engine that belts out 33 hps— is a true supersport motorcycle that draws its lineage from the legendary larger Kawasaki Ninja. But what makes it unique is its perfect combination of performance, riding comfort and ease of handling.
