Keeway India has reduced prices across its two 300cc motorcycles that include the K300N and the K300R. The bikes will now see a price reduction of up to Rs 55,000. Prices of the naked K300N and the fully-faired K300R have been slashed by Rs 30,000 and Rs 55,000, respectively. Therefore, the K300N now stands at Rs 2.55 lakh, while the K300R is priced at Rs 2.65 lakh. Prices are ex-showroom. According to the press statement, the decision to slash the prices of the bikes came in the wake of better import costs, which has led the company to pass on the benefit to its customers. It should be noted that the revised prices have been effective from April 6 onwards and are standard across all three colour options on the K300N and the K300R - White, Red, and Black.
