Kawasaki may resort to further localisation, making the Ninja 300 even more affordable
- The BS4 Ninja 300 was priced at Rs 2.98 lakh.
- To be priced even more competitively.
- Components such as the bodywork, headlight, brakes, tyres and cables are already localised.
- Expected to be launched around the end of the first quarter of 2021.
Kawasaki is reportedly planning to launch the BS6 Ninja 300 by the end of the first quarter of 2021. More interestingly, the brand may resort to further localisation, dropping the price of the bike even more. If Kawasaki were to play it right, we believe, it would price the bike around Rs 2.5 lakh, putting it squarely against the BS6 TVS Apache RR 310, BS6 KTM RC 390 and the newly launched BS6 BMW G 310 R. For reference, the BS4 Ninja was priced at Rs 2.98 lakh which made it the cheapest parallel-twin sportbike in India.
The BS4 model already sold in healthy numbers and became the main source of income for the Japanese brand in India. Slashing the price to an estimated Rs 2.5 lakh would make the Ninja 300 even more accessible to enthusiasts, reeling in more numbers for the brand. Kawasaki already localises the bike’s bodywork, headlight, brakes, cables, wheels and tyres. So, it’ll be interesting to see what the manufacturer targets next. Reports suggest the company could look at localising a couple of engine internals.

Don’t expect any drastic updates on the bike. The BS6 Ninja 300 will retain the same design, suspension and braking components as before. There could be a slight difference in power figures, but nothing significant. The BS4 model used a 296cc parallel-twin engine with 39PS and 27Nm of peak torque.
Interestingly, the BS6 Ninja 300 will soon become the second most affordable bike in Kawasaki’s portfolio. It’s also working on an entry-level roadster, called the W175, that will soon make its way to India. The almost production-ready test mule has already been spotted doing rounds in India.

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
