Kawasaki Motorcycles is the most sought-after superbike brand in India. In fact, they claim themselves to be the number one premium motorcycle manufacturer in the country. And, we do agree that as out on the streets we can see a lot of Kawasaki superbikes spreading the love of green everywhere. Kawasaki sells the most number of premium bikes in India but until now, their entire portfolio was BS4 compliant. However, things are going to change now as the bikemaker has started accepting bookings for the 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 BS6 and Z650 BS6 and these motorcycles will be launched really soon in India.
