The baby Ninja doesn’t lose out on power
- The Ninja 300 BS6’s torque has dipped marginally.
- Gets a 5mm lower seat height.
- Ground clearance has gone up by 5mm.
After all these months of waiting, Kawasaki has finally launched the Ninja 300 BS6 in India at Rs 3.18 lakh (ex-showroom), just as we predicted. The baby Ninja is dearer than the BS4 iteration by Rs 20,000. That said, it is an introductory price, and we expect it to get steeper in the coming months. So, what’s new in the Japanese brand’s most successful bike in our market?
Except for the new paint jobs that the brand showcased last week, and a greener engine (with updated pistons and a die-cast cylinder head), it is the same old Ninja that continues to draw power from the 296cc, parallel-twin engine developing 39PS at 11,000rpm and 26.1Nm at 10,000rpm. While the power is the same as the outgoing model’s, torque has gone down by 0.9Nm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch.

The 37mm telescopic fork and the monoshock are the same as those of the predecessor. The 290mm/220mm disc setup, paired with dual-piston calipers, has been carried over as well. Interestingly, the Ninja 300 has not put on any weight in its BS6 guise but now has a 5mm lower seat (at 785mm) and 5mm more ground clearance (at 140mm) -- both welcome changes.
The list of features hasn’t changed either. Although, we would have loved to see LED headlights or Kawasaki Rideology-connectivity that we have seen in the current-gen lineup. But Kawasaki’s decision to not invest much in the bike could stem from the fact that it has been discontinued in several markets.
The Kawasaki Ninja 300 BS6 can be booked via the brand’s website or through the nearest dealership. At Rs 3.18 lakh, it is quite an expensive affair, especially with the KTM RC390 in the picture, which is also due an update soon.
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 6
- 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 2
