Deputy Manager of Kawasaki Motors Pvt Ltd, in India Shigeto Nishikawa speaking at the inauguration of the 8th superbike outlet of this brand at Hyderabad in India, said, “The company is targeting a market share of 20% in the next two years”.

While sharing the information that the company plans to introduce new sports bike in India the officials did not disclose any details of the products. Expectations are high that the Vulcan S cruiser will be one of the five products that are lined up for India as it shares its powertrain with the Ninja 650 and ER-6n. This probability is high for this particular machine as like its siblings which are assembled locally, the Vulcan S is also likely to adopt the CKD route.

The company at present enjoys 10% share in the market and accounts for 9,000 – 10,000 units in a year and has a growth rate of around 20% year-on-year.
