The new 2019 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 has been launched in India at a price of Rs 9.9 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). That said, the price of the new model remains unchanged when compared to the outgoing one. The updated Kawasaki Ninja 1000 has been launched in two colour options of black and green and receives cosmetic changes over its predecessor. Mechanically, the litre-class sports tourer remains untouched. Bookings for the new Kawasaki Ninja 1000 have begun at the company’s dealerships across India. At Rs 9.9 lakh, the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 continues to be the most affordable 1000cc sportsbike that you can buy in India. The reason why Kawasaki has managed to keep the pricing competitive is due to the fact that the bike arrives in India through the SKD (Semi Knocked Down) route.
