Thank you to BHPians swiftnfurious and //M for sending this information in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing it with other enthusiasts.
The Honda CBR 650F and the Kawasaki ER-6n are currently being offered with huge discounts of up to Rs. 1 lakh. These discounts are a part of the companies' stock clearance exercises.
The primary reason behind these huge discounts is the government's decision to make it mandatory for all two-wheelers on sale in the country to be BSIV compliant from April 1, 2017. Since both these bikes - the CBR 650F and the ER-6n, are currently available with BSIII engines, dealers are trying to get rid of the existing stock before the said April 1 deadline.
Additionally, both these bikes are nearing their end of product life cycle. While the Honda CBR 650F will soon receive a facelift, Kawasaki will be replacing the ER-6n with the new Z650. With the aforementioned huge discounts, dealers might also be trying to get rid of the existing inventory before the new models are launched.
