The move appears aimed at clearing stock of older-spec engines amid India's shift in fuel regulations.

This is a good example of fuel policy directly moving the sales floor. India's E20 transition is non-negotiable, and stock of old-spec engines has to be cleared out early. Kawasaki's steep discount is a move faithful to that market logic. Regulation reshaping supply and demand - in the world's largest two-wheeler market, policy really is the biggest player.

India's moves on fuel regulation look set to influence other countries' biofuel policies too.

Even if you buy a non-compliant bike, you should factor in the risk that fuel will get harder to find down the road.

That said, it's not like only fully incompatible fuel will be available, so practicality shouldn't be an issue for the time being.

If it's a stock-clearance sale, you can probably expect a serious discount even on an outgoing model.

The switch to E20 ethanol-blend fuel is probably part of tightening environmental regulation.

Clearing out all the non-E20-compatible stock at once really shows how big an impact the regulatory switch has.

Holding onto stock that doesn't meet the new standard is a headache for both makers and dealers, so this is probably a decisive clear-out.
