In a major move to kickstart 2026, Kawasaki Motors India has rolled out substantial New Year discounts across its premium motorcycle portfolio. The Japanese manufacturer is offering cash discounts of up to ₹2.50 lakh on select models, coupled with free high-value accessories, making its performance bikes more accessible to Indian enthusiasts. These limited-period offers are available for purchase until January 31, positioning the first month of the year as an ideal time for a potential purchase.
Detailed Breakdown of Kawasaki's Discount Offers
The company has announced discounts on seven popular models. While most benefits come as direct price reductions, one model receives a valuable free accessory instead. The discounts vary significantly across the lineup, with the entry-level Kawasaki Ninja 500 receiving the smallest cash benefit of ₹17,000. Its price now stands at ₹5.49 lakh, reduced from ₹5.66 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Kawasaki Ninja 300, often considered the gateway to the brand in India, gets a ₹28,000 discount, lowering its ex-showroom price to ₹2.89 lakh from ₹3.17 lakh. For the mid-range segment, the Ninja 650 becomes more affordable by ₹29,000, now priced at ₹7.64 lakh.
Big-Ticket Savings on Superbikes
The most impressive savings are reserved for Kawasaki's flagship and adventure touring models. The Kawasaki Versys 1100 sees a price cut of ₹1 lakh, while the Ninja 1100SX gets a whopping ₹1.43 lakh slashed from its price tag.
The king of discounts is the liter-class superbike, the Kawasaki ZX-10R. It receives the maximum discount of ₹2.50 lakh, bringing its ex-showroom price down to ₹18.29 lakh from ₹20.79 lakh. Interestingly, the Kawasaki ZX-6R does not have a cash discount but comes with a complimentary Ohlins steering damper worth ₹83,000.
Strategic Move for Sales Momentum
This aggressive discounting strategy is clearly aimed at boosting Kawasaki's sales figures in the first month of 2026. A common industry practice involves offering such year-end or year-beginning promotions to clear existing inventory. However, it remains unspecified whether these discounts apply to the MY25 (Model Year 2025) stock or the incoming MY26 models.
Prospective buyers are advised to visit their nearest authorized Kawasaki dealership to confirm the exact model year applicability and get complete details on the offer structure. The table below summarizes the key offers:
