Why does this story matter?
Ever since its arrival, Kawasaki has been a go-to brand for people looking for bikes in India. It has a presence felt from the entry-level 125cc to the highly-desirable liter-class and above segments. With the entry of rivals such as KTM, Ducati, and Moto Morini, the market has become super-competitive. Hence, the Japanese marque is offering discounts this December to lure customers.
