Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R Deliveries Start in India

• Kawasaki says the pricing is introductory and will go up by a significant margin in the future.
• Booking amount starts at Rs 1.5 lakh.
• It’s Kawasaki’s first mid-displacement supersport offering in India.

After launching the bike back in January at Rs 10.49 lakh (ex-showroom), Kawasaki has now commenced deliveries of its mid-displacement supersport, the Ninja ZX-6R, in India. According to the company, the first bike in the country was delivered in West Delhi a few days ago. 

As far as interested customers are concerned, bookings of the motorcycle start from Rs 1.5 lakh across all Kawasaki dealerships in India. However, you might need to hurry up. Kawasaki had made it clear that the Rs 10.49 lakh pricing is introductory and will see a significant hike in the future.

With the ZX-6R, Kawasaki has become the first Japanese motorcycle maker to launch a mid-displacement supersport bike in India. With a global decline in the demand for such bikes, it remains to be seen whether other Japanese manufacturers jump on this bandwagon. As Triumph has discontinued the Daytona 675, the ZX-6R has a total lack of direct competition in the Indian market. Its only rival is in the form of the Ducati Panigale 959, which is priced way higher.
