Bajaj Auto's Kawasaki Kracker is a gem of a machine which is sure to write another glorious chapter in the firm's sporty motorcycling theme says Adil Jal Darukhanawala after a quick spin on the baby Ninja
The wait just got over! For bikers who aspired for top notch contemporary motorcycles without having to shell out in excess of a million rupees, rejoice! The spanking new Kawasaki Ninja 250 is here and is just what the doctor ordered! Before we get down to what all is on offer, here's something for you all to salivate on before we hit the road big time:
- A twin-cylinder liquid cooled & fuel injected motor
- 4-valves per cylinder actuated by twin overhead camshafts
- 33PS at 11,000rpm
- 22Nm at 8200rpm
- A six-speed gearbox
- 172kg all up kerb weight
- Tubeless tyres
- Disc brakes front & rear
- Kawasaki patented Uni-Trak rear suspension
What is surely of the essence is that we finally have a motorcycle which has the right bits on it, looks like Kawasaki's litre-class superbikes, goes like stink, handles like a dream and best of all doesn't blow a hole in the wallet! You can have your Yamaha R1s and Honda Fireblades (damn fine machines these, but you'll get four plus Ninjas for the price of one of these hyperbikes!) but when it comes to corner carving on our roads and also doing the high speed hustle, the Ninja 250 has the beatings of all the big bikes in our biking eco-system. And best of all, with this attribute comes yet another trait, the Ninja 250 is an all round everyday bike with great ergonomics that allows you to play street scratcher, high speed commuter and MotoGP pilot all rolled into one with aplomb!
