The countdown that was put up in Bajaj India site for the launch of the bigger Ninja – The Kawasaki Ninja 650R was closed and the bike was unveiled on 8th June (yesterday) at the Akurdi plant in Pune. BikeAdvice was part of the media team that was invited for the launch. Here I give you the detailed report of the launch of this amazingly incredible machine.


The official launching ceremony started by around 11 in the morning. It started with the video clips which explained Kawasaki’s wide range of business across the globe. For all those who think Kawasaki’s business is only in the field of motorbikes, here I throw more light on it. Kawasaki is a $14.2mn worth company for which only 19% of the revenue comes from the motorbike segment. Their areas of concentration includes Bullet trains, Commercial and Fighter aircrafts, Ship building, helicopters and a lot more. A lot means really a lot.
