Kawasaki sells a 150cc Ninja in the Indonesian market. It comes with 30 PS of power and has a Mikuni carburettor and double cradle frame mated to a swing arm made of aluminium. This model is heading for a facelift according to Indonesian blogger Taufik whose blog is called TMCblog.com. He has posted pictures of the facelifted model without the Kawasaki stickering but in the typical Kawasaki green and featuring design cues from the Ninja 250 R. Now this little fella is powerful and handsome but to call it a ZX 150 RR is a little too difficult to digest. Motoroids.com is speculating that this motorcycle may make it to India but that is unlikely given the fact that the Indonesian spec engine is unlikely to pass the Indian pollution norms. To meet the pollution norms the engine will have to be detuned and this motorcycle will go up against the Yamaha R15 which is the bench mark. From the specs it does not seem like the Kawasaki can match the handling of the R15 which uses a delta box frame. But if it is sold for the price of a Fazer, it may go down well with the Indian youth. But does Bajaj want competition to its own Pulsars? Anyway please feast your eyes on the pictures, there is no harm in that.
