India Kawasaki Motor (IKM) announced last month of a seven per cent price hike across its motorcycle range in the country. While the manufacturer did not reveal the prices at the time, the updated price list has now been released and prices have increased between Rs. 1900 and Rs. 3.80 lakh across the company's line-up. In a positive move, the Japanese bike maker has not hiked prices on certain models including the Ninja 300, Versys X-300, Versys 650, Ninja ZX-6R, ZX-14R among others. The Kawasaki Ninja 300 remains the best-selling model from the company at present and its most affordable too priced at Rs. 2.98 lakh (ex-showroom).
There are 11 Kawasaki motorcycles that now get pricey by a substantial figure. The Kawasaki Z900 gets the smallest hike of Rs. 1900 and now starts at Rs. 7.69 lakh, while the Kawasaki Ninja 400 gets a price hike of Rs. 30,000 and is now priced at Rs. 4.99 lakh. The Ninja 650 also gets a price increase of Rs. 40,000 and is priced at Rs. 5.89 lakh. The Kawasaki Versys 1000 that was launched earlier this year, has also received a price hike of Rs. 20,000 and now starts at Rs. 10.89 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).
The price hike is much higher on the supersport offerings. The standard Ninja H2 is now priced at Rs. 34.99 lakh and gets a hike of Rs. 1.69 lakh, whereas the Ninja H2 Carbon is pricier by Rs. 1.99 lakh and now starts at Rs. 41.79 lakh. The track-only Kawasaki Ninja H2R gets the most substantial increase in prices of Rs. 3.80 lakh and is now priced at Rs. 75.80 lakh (ex-showroom).
In its announcement last month, Kawasaki India has said that the prices were increased due to the rising costs of raw materials and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
