Kawasaki Ninja 300
- Butter smooth parallel-twin engine
- Attractive pricing
Kawasaki Ninja 500
- 451cc twin-cylinder engine can handle everything: slow commutes, fast commutes, touring and even hardcore track days…all of it while being very easy to ride even for slightly inexperienced riders
- Looks - while the design hasn’t undergone a major change in years, the Ninja 500 is still a very good looking bike and will grab a lot of attention
- Handling - feels very nimble flicking from one corner to the other and once leaned over, the bike feels very stable as well
- Comfort - the raised clip-on ha

Kawasaki Ninja 300
- Lack of features compared to its competition
Kawasaki Ninja 500
- Lack of features - the Ninja 500 misses out on traction control, navigation, a quickshifter and even adjustable levers, features that a lot of lower-priced bikes have as standard
- Price - at Rs 5,24,000 (ex-showroom India), the Ninja 500 is a lot more expensive than its closest rival, the Aprilia RS 457, which costs Rs 4,10,000 (ex-showroom Delhi)
- The Ninja 500 is only available in one colourway: Metallic Spark Black, which is quite subtle. It not being offered in Kawasaki’s signature Lime Green

A Budget Beast
Been using it for almost 5 years now and never had it left me on the road stranding. The bike is a superstar with almost 26-30 mileage, it is just an unbeatable combination of power and efficiency. Cornering is so much fun after I upgraded the three and barely I was ever unsatisfied with the looks and styling its got.

Performance and reliability
I chose Ninja 300 for its performance, strong top-end power as I was about passionate about riding. Its good beginner- friendly and revs without being jerky. Has comfortable ergonomics and is a balanced bike with reliability. So far engine was smooth and linear. Sporty but not aggressive and power is usable for city and highways. Longer rider are somewhat comfortable and is stable. Display and techs are basic and is slightly heavy. Braking could be sharper to some extent. Yes, I would recommend Ninja 300 for smooth, reliable and well-balanced to ride easily and still have fun on rides. It tend to have better performance but lacks some basic features which other bikes in the same segment offer.

Smooth engine, strong highway performance and spor
I choose this bike mainly because of its smooth engine and highway comfort. It feels very stable at high speed and gives confidence while riding. Looks are sporty and premium which I liked. In city suspension feels little stiff but I was ok with that compromise. Ride experience is mostly positive. On highways it feels planted and smooth even at higher speed. Handling is very good and cornering feels safe. Mileage is decent not too low not too high. In city traffic and bad roads you feel bumps little more. Yes I will recommend this bike to people who love riding on highways and enjoy sporty riding style. It is not for someone who want soft suspension or only daily city use. Buy it if you want performance and feel, avoid if mileage is main concern.

Easy to Maintain Ride
Needed a bike for both work and weekend trips. This one offered decent comfort and better mileage. I chose this model after comparing with two others. It had better looks and better average. This super bike is perfect for rides Very satisfying ride. The seat is wide and soft. Long rides are comfortable. Performance is stable. I’m happy with how it rides. No vibration, good pickup, and handling is easy. Mileage has stayed steady. Best for riders who do both city and highway trips. Runs smooth and gives good fuel return. I’d suggest it to anyone who wants balance of mileage, comfort, and power. Worth the money. Yes, this bike is perfect for rides
