The Kawasaki Ninja 250R launched on 7 October under exclusive arrangement with Bajaj Probiking has received a very encouraging response with 127 motorcycles sold in October 2009.
Commercial vehicle sales suffered on production constraints even as the new RE600 goods carrier sold 721 units in October 2009 which was its first full month of sales.
The October 2009 export figures at 84,012 units are the highest ever that Bajaj Auto has achieved and are 11.88 per cent higher than the 75,092 units of a year ago.
