Kawasaki is now offering a 3-year warranty as standard across all the models in its India lineup. Earlier, the Japanese superbike brand used to offer a standard warranty of 2 years. The new warranty scheme is applicable across all models, except the KX and KLX dirt bikes, which aren’t road-legal.
The move to increase the warranty period and kilometres should further help cement the brand’s position in the industry. That said, the improved warranty scheme has come at a price. Team Green has increased the price of every motorcycle roughly by Rs 10,000. This is the first price hike by Kawasaki since the commencement of the FY 2024-25.

It started with the Eliminator after it made its debut at the India Bike Week in November last year. The power cruiser made its re-entry into the market after more than two decades at a price of Rs 5.62 lakh (ex-showroom).
Another big launch was the Ninja 500 which sits in between the Ninja 400 and Ninja 600. Powering the Ninja 500 is a brand-new 451cc, parallel-twin engine that produces 45 bhp at 9,000rpm and a peak torque of 42.6 Nm at 6,000rpm.
