Despite Kawasaki reluctance to launch a model in the 600 cc segment in India with a four-cylinder engine, the brand could consider to change the strategy as the Indian customers are showing growing interest for the high-performance premium bikes. Also, Kawasaki wants to increase its market share in the country market with more new products.
