Kawasaki Bikes in India

Kawasaki, the Japanese motorcycle maker, has been in India since the 1990s. It was a technical alliance between Kawasaki and Bajaj when the products like KB 100 and Calibre were launched on the Indian roads. Kawasaki is in India on its own name offering some of the choicest superbikes.

India Kawasaki Motors Pvt Ltd, the subsidiary of Kawasaki Motors Limited, Japan, was launched in 2009. The company launched Ninja 250 and Ninja 650. It entered the Indian Super Bike market in 2010. Kawasaki started assembling Z250, Ninja 300, Ninja 650, ER-6N and Versys 650 at its plant located inside the premises of Bajaj’s factory in 2013. Bajaj took care of marketing, sales and service of Kawasaki. But the arrangement did not last long due to conflict of interests and Kawasaki and Bajaj decided to part ways amicably.
