    Bajaj Auto the second largest two wheeler manufacturer in India is very much determined to build a brand of KTM and Pulsar in India. Recently there was lot of buzz regarding Japanese bike manufacturer Kawasaki. There was a lot of buzz regarding Kawasaki Ninja 150 RR, there were rumors that Kawasaki Ninja 150 RR would be launched in India. Kawasaki Ninja 150 RR is 148 cc bike with 2-stroke  engine. This bike had the capacity to produce 30 PS of power, and this bike weighs around 125 kilos. But the launch of the Kawasaki Ninja 150 RR in India looks grim as 2-stroke vehicles production is banned in India, and there are no indications or efforts from Kawasaki, to replace the 2-stroke engine in Kawasaki Ninja 150 RR with a 4-stroke engine.

    Kawasaki Ninja 150 RR

    Kawasaki Ninja 150 RR is sold in neighboring countries with same engine capacity. Due to this reason Bajaj Auto has shown no interest in bringing more Kawasaki motorcycles on Indian roads. But according to some experts, if Kawasaki makes some modifications to the engine of Kawasaki Ninja 150 RR, by replacing the 2-stroke engine with a 4-stroke engine then this bike could fare well in the India Auto market. Because Kawasaki Ninja 150 RR has the capacity to produce 29 BHP in spite have only 150 cc engine. If Kawasaki Ninja 150 RR follows same principle what other Japanese bike manufacturers followed like Yamaha and Honda. Yamaha have designed its Yamaha R15 V to the Indian market keeping most of the similar to Yamaha R1 except the engine. Following the footsteps of Yamaha, Honda also made modifications only to the engine if Honda CBR 150R which is a smaller version of Honda VFR 1200F.

      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.

      Kawasaki Ninja 300 is the perfect balance of power style control
      Kawasaki Ninja 300 mere liye sirf ek sport bike nahi balki speed control aur confidence ka perfect combination hai aur pehli ride se hi ye bike feel karwa deti hai ki Kawasaki ka name kyu itna interested hai iska 296CC parallel twin engine smooth aur refined hai aur traffic mein bike bilkul manageable r3ehti hai aur highway par jate hi iska real character bahar aa jata hai acceleration linear hai isliye beginner riders bhi bina dare iski power enjoy kar sakte hai Kawasaki Ninja 300 ka design bilkul race inspired hai sharp fairing aggressive stance aur premium paint finish isse road par sabse alag banate hai aur ye bike chalate waqt nahi balki iske sath khade hone par bhi attention attract karti hai Kawasaki Ninja is the best bike for my life

      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
