Finally after more than 2 years in waiting, the baby ninja hits Indian market . Producing 33 PS for class leading power, its worth a buy. The price seems to be steep at 2.69 L ex showroom chennai. But hey, you can't complain when you have no choice, can you :) ??

It also doesn't have any localized parts and is a CKD import. 2.25 would have been ideal though.
