The wait is finally over.

All you diehard Kawasaki enthusiasts and motorcycle lovers alike, Bajaj Auto have just launched the new Kawasaki Ninja in the Indian market. Ever since the 2013 650R was launched globally by the Japanese motorcycle marque, we knew it was enroute to India but had no idea when it would make its appearance.

With a 649cc, DOHC liquid cooled mill that’s capable of producing 71 PS of power @ 8500 rpm and 66 Nm of torque @ 7000 rpm, this Kwacker does justice to its sports-tourer tag very well. We are sure that like its previous version, the 2013 Ninja is a completely well rounded package as nothing much has changed mechanically. Bajaj has priced the new Ninja 650R at  Rs 4,99,834 (ex-showroom, New Delhi) and the motorcycle will come in Kawasaki lime green color tone as well as a black version for the Indian market.

 

The wait is finally over.

All you diehard Kawasaki enthusiasts and motorcycle lovers alike, Bajaj are all set to launch the new Kawasaki Ninja in the Indian market tomorrow, the 9^th of August. Ever since the 2013 650R was launched globally by the Japanese motorcycle marque, we knew it was enroute to India but had no idea when it would make its appearance.

 

With a 649cc, DOHC liquid cooled mill that’s capable of producing 71 PS of power @ 8500 rpm and 66 Nm of torque @ 7000 rpm, this Kwacker does justice to its sports-tourer tag very well. We are sure that like its previous version, the 2013 Ninja is a completely well rounded package as nothing much has changed mechanically. The price has been estimated around 5.80 lakhs and the 650R will come in Kawasaki lime green color tone as well as a black version, for the Indian market.

 

Victory motorcycles who are known for their exquisite cruisers, and who have carved out their own identity in the market dominated by heavy weights like Harley Davidson, Triumph, Honda and Suzuki have officially unveiled their 2013 Victory Boardwalk cruiser.

And boy oh boy, it is surely a head turner, we say. The DNA of this motorcycle is largely based on the classic-looking cruiser’s of the mid 60s.

Powered by an air-cooled, four valve per cylinder, fuel-injected 1731cc monstrous V-twin engine, the Broadway is not for the faint of heart. A six-speed gearbox which drives the rear wheel via a carbon-reinforced belt is all but waiting for its rider to unleash it’s throttle. The engine has a maximum torque of 149 Nm. But for us the icing on the cake surely are the white wall tires, wrapped around 16-inch wheels, which make this Victory motorcycle a worthy contender to be displayed at its famous namesake theaters. This steady mill will burn a hole in your pocket by $ 15,499 (Rs 8 lakhs approx).

A fair price to pay for that unparalleled sensation of hitting the open road and rumbling into the sunset on a virtual sofa-on-wheels, we say.
