Kawasaki has officially announced revised prices for its premium motorcycle lineup in India, following the implementation of the new GST 2.0 structure. The Finance Ministry has mandated that all motorcycles with engine capacity above 350cc will now attract a 40% GST with no additional cess, resulting in higher ex-showroom prices across the brand’s portfolio.
This change affects popular models like the Kawasaki Ninja 500, Z900, Vulcan S, and others. Let’s take a closer look at the updated pricing.
