For operators
Dealers should prepare for bookings expected on 19 October and a launch on 20 October by lining up demo bikes and booking-desk staff, and by planning how the Z300 (296cc, 39 bhp), expected to be priced below the Ninja 300's Rs 3.34 lakh ex-showroom, will sit next to the Ninja in showrooms.
Watch
Z300 ex-showroom price below the Ninja 300's ₹3.34 lakh at the 20 October launch would mean Kawasaki is chasing volume and pressuring rival 300cc nakeds.
