Kawasaki Estrella (BJ250) to rival Royal Enfield

Kawasaki might be interested to rival Royal Enfield in India. The latter has established a strong hold in the Indian market and has been reporting month-on-month and year-on-year growth along with multiple new products being introduced. This seems to be encouraging other manufacturers to look closely at the middle-weight tourer segment.

Kawasaki has a long stroke engined motorcycle, the Estrella BJ250 which could be considered to be introduced in India. The overall design looks like a perfect fit to rival Royal Enfield. The bikes will not be manufactured here, but will be brought in via the CKD route with very high localisation content.

Pricing could be very competitive, in the range of Rs. 2 lakh. The BJ250 is powered by a 249cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, OHV, air-cooled, fuel injected petrol motor producing 17 HP & 18 Nm matched to a 5-speed gearbox.

Royal Enfield better watch out for this development. Also, this could be some serious trouble for the Triumph Bonneville, if priced very competitively
