Kawasaki had recently teased two upcoming bikes, and according to our sources, one of them was the BS6 Ninja 300 with its launch slated for the first week of March, 2021. Now, the Japanese manufacturer has revealed two new colour options for the upcoming Ninja.
Unlike the Ninja 650-like paint option seen earlier, the new colours are a combination of black and green, with new graphics. Both paint schemes -- while one is all-black, the other is a green tank with a green lower fairing -- have the fairings, headlamp assemblies, and tail units in common. The new graphics extend to both sides of the headlamp and the tail light.

As for other updates, not much has changed. Instead of an overhaul, Kawasaki seems to be playing it safe with the Ninja 300’s likeable eight-year-old design, with split-halogen headlamps and a digi-analogue instrument cluster. LED lighting and a new instrument cluster seem to be on hold for now.
So, what’s different? The engine. Well, not exactly, but the baby Ninja’s 296cc parallel-twin motor will be tweaked to meet the BS6 norms. Owing to this, the motorcycle might suffer a slight drop in peak power and torque figures. For reference, the Ninja 300 made 39PS and 27Nm in its BS4 avatar.
Along with this, expect the 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 300 to put on a little weight, thanks to the addition of a new catalytic converter. It will be interesting to see where Kawasaki will position the catcon and if it will affect the 300’s ground clearance. Its underpinnings will likely remain as they are.
The BS6 Ninja 300 is expected to set you back by around Rs 3.2 lakh (ex-showroom), Rs 22,000 more than before. Unofficial bookings have already begun at select dealerships. With the KTM RC 390 set to receive an overhaul for 2021, it will be interesting to see how the BS6 Ninja 300 will fare against it.
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
