- Kawasaki India had launched the heavily localised Ninja 300 ABS on July 20 last year.
- While deliveries started around August, more than 1,300 units of the Ninja 300 has been sold since then.
- The new Ninja 300 has become a popular model since it was launched with a price cut of Rs 62,000.
Last year, Kawasaki India had launched the 2018 Ninja 300 with ABS. Its USP, though, was not the inclusion of ABS but the massive price drop from the previous Rs 3.6 lakh to Rs 2.98 lakh (ex-showroom, India). This price drop of Rs 62,000 was made possible due to the heavy localisation of components. That move not only reduced the bike’s ex-showroom price but also the cost of spares. The fact that the Ninja 300 ABS is the most affordable faired motorcycle with a parallel twin motor helped improve the bike’s sales volumes.

Since deliveries commenced in August last year, Kawasaki has sold 1,300 units of the Kawasaki Ninja 300. It means over the past 10 months, Kawasaki has on an average sold around 130 Ninja 300’s every month. According to Kawasaki, they sold 80-90 units of the non-ABS Ninja 300 per month. The new bike then sees a substantial hike in sales volume.

The Ninja 300 has been a popular bike among enthusiasts given its styling and sweet-sounding 296cc liquid-cooled parallel twin motor that delivers 39PS and 27Nm of torque. The new Ninja 300 ABS’ engine and chassis continue to be brought to India from Thailand via the CKD route; large components like the body panels, wheels and tyres have been localised. In fact, the Thai-spec IRC tyres have been replaced by locally sourced MRF Zappers.

Kawasaki has been tight-lipped about plans to localise its other bikes like the Z650 and Ninja 650. We, though, feel that it is a strong possibility considering the success they’re having with the localised Ninja 300 ABS.

- 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 3
