Kawasaki has introduced the 2017 model of the Ninja 300 along with its new Winter Test Edition in the US and some other markets. The standard model gets two new colour options -- Candy Plasma Blue and Pearl Bizzard White -- without any additional cost. On the other hand, the KRT Winter Test Edition gets a wider 150mm rear tyre, a taller windshield and a removable rear seat cowl along with a unique Flat Ebony colour scheme. The special edition is exclusively available in the ABS trim for an additional cost of $300 in the US.
Besides the legendary litre-class Ninja-inspired styling, the Kawasaki Ninja 300 gets a compact 296cc, parallel-twin engine that delivers smooth response and strong acceleration. The fuel-injected motor makes 39PS of power at 11,000rpm and delivers a peak torque of 27Nm at 10,000rpm. The mill comes mated to a slick six-speed gearbox using an F.F.C. clutch having assist and slipper functions for lesser lever effort and smooth downshifts.
Talking about the features, the 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 300 gets telescopic front forks and Uni-Trak rear shock with 5-way adjustable preload. The standard model comes with 110mm front and 140mm rear tubeless tyres, while the Winter Test edition gets a slightly wider 150mm rear tyre. Moreover, the special edition features more premium rubber for a better grip at high speeds and during cornering.
As Kawasaki is already selling the Ninja 300 in India, we can also expect it to launch the 2017 model in the country. Moreover, we can also expect the Winter Test Edition by late 2017 as the company has recently launched a KRT (Kawasaki Racing Team) special edition in the country.
Kawasaki Ninja 300 User Reviews
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.Read More
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.Read More
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.Read More

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.
