India Kawasaki Motor has not increased the prices of a few models including its best-seller, the Ninja 300; the motorcycle continues to retail at INR 2.98 lakh (ex-showroom). Other products that have been excluded from the price increase include Versys X-300, Versys 650, Ninja ZX-6R, Z1000, Z1000R, ZX-10R and the ZX-14R.
