2018 Kawasaki Versys 650 Launched in India @ INR 6.50 Lakh[/caption]
As 2018 Kawasaki Versys 650 weighs just 216 kg, it offers an excellent power to weight ratio for all types of terrain. Twin front 300 mm disc brakes, that too with ABS, helps the rider while tackling tough situations. As the 650 series fall under the local assembly bracket, the pricing is on the positive side.
Kawasaki’s very own Z650 starts at just INR 5 lakh while Ninja 650 can be bought for INR 5.50 lakh. Both these are good for everyday riding as well as highway touring but lacks the adventure punch that is on offer through the Versys series. All these are manufactured at Kawasaki’s chakan plant.
The Japanese brand will soon enter local production for entry level bikes, making them more affordable by a considerable margin. This will allow more riders to get connected with one of the most sophisticated performance brand around the world.
One can expect a sharp fall in pricing of bikes under 650cc while bigger machines would even leave CBU route for the lower taxed CKD route. Imagine if they can offer Ninja 1000 at INR 9.98 lakh, lower tax bracket for Z1000 will even shred its price close to INR 9.5 lakh. Not just that, the popular Z900 can clearly get a price cut.
