With the rollout of GST 2.0, India’s tax regime for motorcycles above 350cc has changed. Kawasaki has revised ex-showroom prices for several of its premium models including the Eliminator, Ninja 650, and
Versys 1100. These adjustments reflect the new 40% GST rate applied to high-capacity bikes, replacing the older 28% GST plus cess framework. Buyers should note the pricing changes across states may vary due to additional charges like registration and insurance. For reference, the Eliminator (MY25) is now quoted at around Rs 6.16 lakh, Ninja 650 at Rs 7.77 lakh, and Versys 1100 at Rs 13.79 lakh.

What GST 2.0 Means For Pricing
The GST 2.0 change mandates that motorcycles over 350cc are taxed at 40% GST, rather than the older combined rate of approximately 31% (28% + cess). This means the tax component alone in ex-showroom prices has increased substantially for these models. Kawasaki’s revisions are a response to that shift, with updated prices listed as effective across its network.

Considerations For Buyers
These ex-showroom prices do not include state taxes, registration fees, or insurance. Depending on the buyer’s location, the final on-road price could be significantly higher. Kawasaki customers planning a purchase should verify the cost with local dealerships. Also, delivery timelines or stock may be affected by the GST implementation and inventory planning.
