The new Ninja ZX-10R will be assembled in India and the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer will price it competitively. The 2018 edition of Ninja ZX-10R was sold at Rs 14.3 lakh which made it the most affordable litre-class supersport in the Indian market. There is no official word on the pricing of the 2019 Ninja ZX-10R but we expect that its price will still be lesser than its competition. For the update, Kawasaki recently increased the prices of its motorcycles in India due to fluctuating foreign exchange rates. The key rivals of the 2019 Ninja ZX-10R are Honda CBR1000RRand BMW S1000R.
