2023 Kawasaki Ninja 300 Is Now Greener In More Ways Than One
Baby Ninja now gets a BS6.2 compliant motor, new colours and a slight price hike
Kawasaki likes it green! A typical Kawasaki update is a slightly revised paint scheme with a minor change in price. However, in this update, the most accessible supersport in its Indian lineup, the Ninja 300, has been updated to meet OBD2 (BS6.2) compliance AND a slightly revised paint scheme and a minor price hike, yay!
The Kawasaki Ninja 300 now costs Rs 3,43,000 (ex-showroom), which is Rs 3,000 more than the previous model. The Ninja 300 now meets BS6.2 emission standards and has a second generation onboard diagnostics system. Aside from that, the 296cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine remains intact, producing 39PS and 26.1Nm. The rest of the bike stays unchanged, including the telescopic fork and monoshock suspension configuration, as well as the disc brakes on both ends.
The new colours are Metallic Moondust Grey, Lime Green and Candy Lime Green. The new colour choices are smart and the Lime Green colour now closely resembles the bigger Ninja 400 and the Ninja ZX-10R.
Honestly, a substantial update to the baby Ninja would have been greatly appreciated, as it has been long overdue. Stuff like LED headlights and a TFT panel would have been nice additions, the current model feels a bit outdated. It competes with the KTM RC 390, BMW G 310 RR, Keeway K300 R, and TVS Apache RR 310.
Kawasaki Ninja 300 User Reviews
- 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 More4 4
- 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 More4 2
- 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 2
