Kawasaki Ninja 250R

Kawasaki Heavy industry in a press statement on said, it is planning to manufacture 150cc and above sports motorcycles in India, in collaboration with its technical partner in India, Bajaj Auto.

Bajaj Auto had earlier this year at Auto Expo 2008 in Delhi, showed of motorcycles from Kawasaki which it plans to launch in India. One of the motorcycles that is expected to be launched initially in India is the Kawasaki Ninja 250 with a 250cc twin cylinder and 30bhp engine.

With this bike coming into the Indian market it is gonna make it a huge success and a break through for the Bajaj Company. With the old Eliminator, it had also taken the market of the bikes for a ride of its own, while forcing the Yamaha company to launch a similar cruiser bike but with only 150cc engine, which did not do well, as it was launched to give a tough competition to the Bajaj Kawasaki Eliminator but had failed big time. With this present year 2008, the Bajaj Kawasaki Eliminator is still being used by the Indian people and if you ask them as to how is the bike? They would answer without a doubt, a wonderful bike, just because of its Japanese Engine it does not have any problems even after 7 long years.

Pulsar's 220cc oil cooled, Digital Twin Spark Fuel Injection (DTS FI) engine produces an awesome power of 20PS at 8500rpm (though not comparable, pulsar 220cc is more powerful than thunderbird) and an incredible torque of 19.12Nm at 6500rpm.

Oil cooler placed just below the fuel tank helps in further cooling of engine lubricant and keep this high performance engine cool.

Pulsar 220cc is the most stylish bike available in India.

Surely another eye catcher from Bajaj through pulsar 220cc with six spoke alloy wheels, stylish body panels, clear lens indicators, exposed chain and the diff. Like its family members, in pulsar 220cc except for the tachometer, everything else including fuel gauge, speedometer, odo and two trip meters finds place in the orange glow of the digital read.

The stepped seat is adequately padded for both rider and pillion and ends in a smart two-piece grab bar. Pulsar 220cc DTS FI offers a little under-seat storage cubby that can be unlocked via a cable release located under its lockable side panel. A massive stainless steel and alloy silencer adds a zing to the pulsar 220 along with the generous use of alloy for its rims, steering head, footrest-mounts and fuel-filler lid. The only bike in Pulsar 220's segment is Hero Honda Karizma R with 223cc engine which develops 17bhp at 7000rpm with 1.87kgm of torque at 6000rpm.
