- The two variants are likely to be offered with two different engine options.
- The more powerful version could possibly be the mysterious ZX-25R.
- We can expect the Ninja 250 SE to replace the Ninja 300 in India next year.
Kawasaki has unveiled the latest iteration of its quarter-litre sport bike, the Ninja 250, days before its big reveal at the Tokyo Show on October 23. The bike looks almost identical to the Ninja 400, albeit with new paint schemes which help differentiate itself from its sibling. It will be available in two variants - the Ninja 250 SE ABS and the Ninja 250 SE ABS with a special MDP (Magnetic Design Painting) paint scheme. The Ninja 250 SE ABS gets two paint options - white/black and what looks like blue over black. The Ninja 250 SE ABS MDP, on the other hand, is only available in black. ABS will now be offered as standard in order to meet European safety standards.

While there’s no word on the official specs, rumour mill suggests that the two variants could have different engine configurations and by extension dissimilar power figures. What reinforces this speculation is the fact that Kawasaki has been teasing a powerful 4-cylinder Ninja ZX-25R, which will be showcased at the Tokyo Motor Show, along with a couple of other bikes.
While the Ninja 250 SE ABS is expected to produce around 45PS of power, the tricked-out version - Ninja 250 SE ABS MDP - could belt out close to 60PS. To put things into perspective, the Ninja 250 SE that’s currently on sale in Indonesia makes 39PS of peak power and 23.5Nm of torque via its parallel-twin engine while weighing just 164kg.

The 2020 model is expected to be Euro 5-compliant, which means it will conform with the upcoming BS6 regulations in India. Consequently, we could expect the brand to replace the BS4-compliant Ninja 300 with the base variant of the Ninja 250. And if the rumours are to be believed, it will make more power than the Ninja 300, which is currently rated at 39PS. However, there’s no official word from the Japanese manufacturer yet.
If Kawasaki manages to pull this off, it’ll surely change the ball game in the 250cc segment. It’s just a matter of time before the entire story unfolds at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show and EICMA motor show.

Kawasaki Ninja 300 User Reviews
- Kawasaki Ninja 300 STD | 2022 Model | Lime GreenIt is a fantastic bike. Dual engines. Aesthetically pleasing. Smooth driving and cruising experience. Authentic servicing and maintenance could be a little challenging given the limited number of Kawasaki stores. It offers 25-30 KMPL mileage in the city, and over 30 on highways. The fuel tank capacity is also huge at 17 liters of petrol. Amazing control of the driver on bike even at top-notch speeds.Read More1 1
- A Budget BeastBeen 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 More5 7
- Performance and reliabilityI 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 More6 3
- Smooth engine, strong highway performance and sporI 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 More2 3
