| The time to rejoice for many a biker is just around the corner for Bajaj has finally given out a clearer understanding as to when they will finally launch the KTM bikes and the much awaited Kawasaki Ninja 250 in India. No doubt, the wait has been long, as the news first made its way around at the 2008 Auto Expo, however market scenarios change and companies need to take the right measures before introducing a new model into the country. There is enough being said about these particular bikes at the moment and Bajaj is definitely working towards making these dream machines a reality. KTM: Post the 2008 Auto Expo held in Delhi, Bajaj has been working very closely with KTM to make two new bikes for the Indian market. Those in the know will remember that Bajaj has now acquired a 40 per cent stake in KTM, so the plans are extremely serious and not some far fetched PR gimmick. Bajaj-KTM, if I may call it that, is set to introduce their bikes in 2010. When exactly, is yet to be confirmed, but the fact that 2010 is also the year for the Auto Expo in Delhi, I would not rule out a January launch, for at least one of the products. |
