And once these discounts vanish in the coming months the resale will again rebound for existing bikes.

For everyones knowledge the all new ninja 2020 comes with the below mentioned changes veracity of the same can be checked on the official kawasaki website.
New riding modes not present in earlier version.!
Sport, Road, Rain, Rider (manual)
• All-inclusive modes that link KTRC, Power Mode and KECS allow riders to efficiently set traction control, power delivery and suspension character to suit a given riding situation.
• Riders can choose from Sport, Road, Rain or a manual setting (Rider). In the manual Rider mode, each of the systems can be set independently.
- Sport: enables riders to enjoy sporty riding on winding roads.
- Road: offers comfortable riding over a wide range of situations, from city riding to highway cruising
and rural roads.
- Rain: offers rider reassurance when riding on a wet road surface.
Electronic Cruise Control:
• Allows a desired speed to be maintained with the simple press of a button so that the rider does not have to constantly modulate the throttle. This reduces stress on the right hand when traveling long distances, enabling relaxed cruising and contributing to a high level of riding comfort.
• Once the desired speed has been selected, engine output is adjusted automatically via the Electronic Throttle Valves to maintain speed when ascending or descending grades are encountered. The set speed can be adjusted using the “+” and “-” buttons.
• Operating the brake lever, clutch lever or rear brake pedal, or shifting gears, causes the Electronic Cruise Control to disengage. Closing the throttle beyond the “zero-throttle” position is another instinctive way to disengage the system. The system also disengages automatically in the event of a significant traction control intervention
Electronic Throttle Valve
• New Electronic Throttle Valves (ETV) enable the ECU to optimize the volume of both the fuel, via the injectors, and the air, via the throttle valves, delivered to the engine. Optimized fuel injection and throttle position results in smooth, natural engine response and ideal engine output.
• The ETV has the accelerator position sensor located at the handlebar instead of the throttle body, eliminating throttle cable maintenance. Friction is built in to the twist grip to simulate the feel of a traditional throttle cable.
• FI and ETV settings combine for quick and smooth throttle response that helps with low-speed maneuverability, roll-on power and contributes to sport riding potential.
Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS)
• A contactless-type quick shifter enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts for seamless acceleration and quick and easy deceleration.
• During acceleration, the system detects that the shift lever has been actuated, and sends a signal to the ECU to cut ignition so that the next gear can be engaged without having to use the clutch or backing off the throttle.
•During deceleration, the KQS system automatically controls engine speed, allowing downshifts without operating the clutch as long as the throttle is closed.
• KQS does not function below 2,500 rpm.
ENGINE
• Revised cam profiles reduce tappet noise for a quieter-running engine.
• Shorter outer intake funnels for cylinders 1 and 4 help reduce emissions and match the exhaust layout.
• All-new exhaust system is a 4-into-2-into pre-chamber into-1 layout, with the new single-sided muffler reducing weight by approximately 4.5 pounds. Three-way catalyzers in the exhaust collector help reduce emissions.
SUSPENSION
• New low-speed slit added to the damping pistons relieve negative pressure build-up during compression for smoother fork action.
• Overall suspension settings have been fine-tuned to enhance the Ninja 1000SX’s sport touring potential by accommodating both sport riding and comfortable touring.
TIRES
• Now fitted with Bridgestone’s latest BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S22 tires for lighter handling with enhanced grip in both dry and wet conditions.
SPORTIER STYLING
• New three-piece side fairing enhances the appearance.
• New supersport-style front fender contributes to the sportier image.
• Longer under-cowl contributes to a more dynamic appearance.
INCREASED WIND PROTECTION
• Revised windshield is set at slightly more upright angle and now has four positions instead of three ranging from sporty to maximum wind protection. The release button below the instrument panel is retained so that windshield adjustment is simple without the need for tools.
Have not gone into the new TFT display which is far better them the one doing duty on most kawasakis now.
Also the used superbike market simply works on the easy logic of once a newer model is introduced the older gen takes a hit, its a dealer dominated market and they are not enthusiasts who go into each detail of the bike. There are many good used low mileage ninjas 2017-2018 with dealers asking for approx 7.5 in delhi.
If i was in the market i would buy the new ninja eyes closed @ a difference of 2-3 lakhs i would still get a far better package, if not i would
Pick up a used one for 7-7.5ish the going rate these days.
