    Kawasaki is well known for its super and sporty bikes not only in India but also all around the globe. Kawasaki has plans to bring upgraded smaller Ninja 250R and ZX-14R in India by next year. Some of Kawasaki variants come with some minor changes and other might come with major major upgrades in their styling, exhaust, paint scheme, chassis and more.

    The new 2012  Kawasaki Ninja 250R comes with minor changes in its paint scheme, as available in new colors which makes it look cool and stylish. The Ninja with green color will remain unchanged, but the black color Ninja will adorn golden yellow stripes across the front fairing and under the rider’s seat. While the red color  250R also comes with a grey and white stripe across the fairing and the tank. Kawasaki ZX -10R would also be equipped with some minor changes in its color schemes, along with Ninja.

    In addition to this, Kawasaki Ninja 650R will be available in more upgrades and changes. The new Ninja 650R will host an upgraded tubular steel chassis, a banana shaped twin-tube swing arm which makes it look stylish. Along with stylishness Ninja 650R gets a higher performance engine and a new exhaust system which improves its power and performance. The single seat of Ninja 650R will be replaced by a split seat and a new adjustable windscreen will be added with all new front fairing design. The seat height of the bike is reduced to add more comfort while riding and the size of fuel tank would be larger to hold more fuel.

    Kawasaki Z series and the ZX-14R also come in 2012 with some updates. The bike comes fitted with a 4mm longer stroke and with a new head assembly, which makes the 1,441cc engine much more powerful than before.

The wheels of the bike are 1.3 kg lighter in compare to earlier one, which offers a better handling and driving experience for the rider.

      Kawasaki Ninja 300 STD | 2022 Model | Lime Green
      It 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.

      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
