As you read it, Bajaj launches Kawasaki Ninja 250R in India. Thankfully, Bajaj imports the European spec models of Ninja 250R in India. The eye-candy Ninja 250R comes with liquid cooled,4 – stroke parallel twin engine. The 249cc mill pumps out an impressive peak power output of 22.2KW(30PS/29.5bhp)(as per Bajaj’s press release) at 10,500 rpm (Bajaj issued a pamphlet to us which says the peak power is 33PS/32.5bhp at 11000rpm) and peak torque of 21Nm at 8500rpm. This would be easily most impressive figures found in any Indian bike. The fuel injection unit ensures smoother acceleration along with the six-speed transmission unit. Ninja 250R uses telescopic fork suspension and uni-trak suspension at the front and the rear respectively. Bajaj has kept the dimensions of Ninja unchaged – 2080mm length, 710mm breadth and 1115mm height. Surprisingly Ninja’s ground clearance of 135mm is left untouched. However the Indian Ninja 250R has gained 3kgs, Ninja 250R weighs 172kg (european Ninja weighs just 169kg). The mandatory addition of number plate and saree guard could be the cause. 290mm petal front disc brake and 220mm rear disc are the other exciting features of Ninja 250R. Bajaj in its introductory speech states Ninja would be priced less than Rs3 lakhs
