India Kawasaki Motors has teased a new inline four-cylinder-based offering on its official social media handle. Although there has been no formal confirmation, industry rumours hint that the bike maker is gearing up to release the Ninja ZX-4R in the nation, which is already available for purchase in international markets. If the reports are true, this new supersport will be added to the company's line-up of in-line four-cylinder motorcycles that are currently available in India. Globally, the Ninja ZX-4R features a 399cc engine, which produces 78bhp and 39Nm of torque. A 6-speed transmission with a quick-shifter handles transmission duties. The new motorcycle is most likely to arrive in India via the CBU route, which might make it expensive – it's expected to be in the price range of Rs 7 lakh – Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom).
