      by

      2025 Kawasaki Ninja 500Kawasaki India has been updating its portfolio to meet the latest and more stringent BS6 P2 OBD2B emission standards. This came into effect with all vehicles sold in India from April 1st, 2025. The latest vehicle to get the MY25 update is Ninja 500, which now gets a new colour, making it slightly more striking than it was before. Let’s take a closer look.
      2025 Kawasaki Ninja 500
      After launching the updated 2025 Eliminator 500 in India, Kawasaki has just launched 2025 Ninja 500, which is a fully-faired version of that motorcycle (or vice versa). While the Eliminator 500 didn’t get any visual cues to distinguish it as a newer MY25 version, that is not the case with Ninja 500.
      2025 Ninja 500
      With MY25 Kawasaki Ninja 500, we get a new colour called Metallic Carbon Grey colourway. This replaces the sole Metallic Spark Black colourway offered with MY24 version. With the new colour, we can see Green highlights on fairing that lend it a distinct look, which was absent in MY24 version.
      Where pricing is concerned, 2025 Ninja 500 costs Rs 5.29 lakh (Ex-sh). This is an upward price revision of Rs 5,000 (Ex-sh) over MY24 version’s Rs 5.24 lakh (Ex-sh) price tag. In comparison, the price hike with 2025 Eliminator 500 over its MY24 counterpart was Rs 14,000 (Ex-sh) and looks relatively fathomable.

      The main change on this motorcycle can be seen with its powertrain, which is now compliant with latest and more stringent BS6 P2 OBD2B emission standards. Speaking of engine, it still displaces 451cc and continues to be a parallel twin-cylinder liquid-cooled motor that is capable of generating 44.77 bhp of peak power and 42.6 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

Rear suspension is taken care of by a mono-shock setup. A single disc brake setup can be seen on both wheels and there is dual-channel ABS as standard.

      Features include split LED headlights with latest Ninja design language and a fully digital LCD instrument cluster that is capable of Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone integration. 785 mm seat height, 171 kg kerb weight and 14L fuel tank are other notable elements.

      2025 Kawasaki Versys 1100 Launch Price Rs 12.9 L – Bigger Engine, Lower Price Tag

      by

      2025 Kawasaki Versys 1100 LaunchedKawasaki’s flagship ADV Tourer, the Versys 1000, is being replaced in India with the newer and better Versys 1100. This is a major departure in strategies in Kawasaki’s operations too. We say this because Kawasaki has reduced the price tag with Versys 1100, making it a more attractive proposition for Indian buyers. Let’s take a look.
      2025 Kawasaki Versys 1100
      Where pricing is concerned, 2025 Kawasaki Versys 1100 is launched at Rs 12.9 lakh (Ex-sh). This is a welcome strategy from Kawasaki, considering the Versys 1000 used to be priced at Rs 13.91 lakh (Ex-sh). The newer model costs more than Rs 1 lakh more affordable than its predecessor, while offering more.
      2025 Kawasaki Versys 1100 Launched
      There is only one colour option with 2025 Kawasaki Versys 1100 – Metallic Matte Graphene Steel Grey / Metallic Diablo Black. This colour is rather clean, with less Green in it, making it less in-your-face. This makes the overall appeal of this motorcycle a lot more mature and is likely to be appreciated by target demographic.
      The main change is in the engine department. Kawasaki is now offering a larger 1,099cc 4-cylinder engine, replacing the older 1,043cc engine. Kawasaki has achieved this with a longer stroke. This new engine is also more powerful as it delivers 133 bhp of peak power and 112.5 Nm of peak torque.
      New Kawasaki Versys 1100 Launched
      Specs & Features
      When compared to the Versys 1000’s 118.27 bhp and 102 Nm, this should be a noticeable bump in performance. Notable componentry on this motorcycle includes an aluminium twin tube frame, 43mm USD forks and rear mono-shock unit that are fully adjustable, 17-inch wheels wrapped with 120-section front and 180-section rear tyres.
      With the bump in performance, braking power needs to be reinforced too. In that regard, 2025 Kawasaki Versys 1100 gets twin 310 mm front discs and a 260 mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS as standard. Overall weight is 257 kg, while ground clearance is 150 mm and seat height is 820 mm, which is very accessible.

      Hero Xpulse 210 Vs Kawasaki KLX230 – Is Twice The Price Justified?

      by

      Hero Xpulse 210 Vs Kawasaki KLX230Directly rivaling Hero Xpulse 210, we have Kawasaki KLX230 in India, but it costs a whopping Rs 3.3 lakh (Ex-sh). In comparison, Xpulse 210 is priced between Rs 1.76 lakh and Rs 1.86 lakh (Ex-sh). So, is Kawasaki obsolete at twice the price or is there more to KLX230 than what meets the eye? Let’s see what the specs say.
      Hero Xpulse 210 Vs Kawasaki KLX230
      With the launch of Xpulse 210, Hero MotoCorp has opened a new chapter in the affordable ADV motorcycle genre. The company is addressing a lot of shortcomings seen with Xpulse 200 4V with the just launched Xpulse 210. This is a massive overhaul and a commendable move by Hero MotoCorp to give the audience what they asked for.
      Where powertrains are concerned, Xpulse 210 comes with Karizma XMR 210’s engine. This is a 210cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC 4V/cyl engine with 24.26 bhp of peak power and 20.7 Nm of peak torque. Whereas, Kawasaki’s 233cc single-cylinder air-cooled SOHC 2V/cyl is capable of 17.85 bhp and 18.3 Nm of torque. Kawasaki’s peak performance is at lower RPMs too, when compared to Xpulse 210’s.
      Xpulse 210 has more oomph, but it weighs 168 kg for Base variant and 170 kg for Top variant, while KLX230 only weighs 139 kg. Power-to-weight ratio is better on Xpulse, whereas torque-to-weight ratio is better on KLX230. Also, KLX230 is smaller as it has a smaller wheelbase, which could prove better in off-roading, where Xpulse shines with versatility of highway cruising.
      Hero Xpulse 210 Vs Kawasaki KLX230 – Specs Compared
      Which off-roader is better on paper?
      Speaking of highway cruising, both bikes get a 6-speed gearbox, but KLX230 commands frequent fuel stops as tank capacity is only 7.6L, which is almost half of Xpulse 210’s 13L tank. As KLX230 is geared more towards off-roading, it gets higher ground clearance of 265 mm and 880 mm seat height. Suspension travel is significantly longer at 240mm front and 250mm rear.
      That said, Hero will launch Xpulse 210 Rally soon and it will have higher ground clearance, more suspension travel and offer compression and rebound adjustments, which Kawasaki doesn’t offer. Even at Rs 3.3 lakh (Ex-sh). Both bikes offer LED headlights, Hero offers better lighting package as headlights are LED projectors along with LED tail lights and LED turn indicators.
      KLX230 offers an LCD cluster, while Xpulse brings a TFT screen. Both bikes get Bluetooth connectivity and notification alerts. Hero goes well beyond in features and offers navigation, a USB charger, switchable ABS and more. Kawasaki has GPS to log your trail rides and access them from the app later, but there’s no navigation feature.
      Looking at the specs, Kawasaki KLX 230 is priced at a significant premium. In a cost-conscious market like India, this is not a popular strategy. It is targeting a niche within a niche of buyers craving for a lightweight off-roader. Hero Xpulse 210, on the other hand, is a versatile off-roader for around half the price. When the Rally variant is launched, it will offer better off-roading prospects and is an excellent candidate for a do-it-all bike. More
