Kawasaki Ninja 300: $6199
The company may have kept the new model a tight secret, but the silver lining is that it's gone on sale in the blink of an eyeKawasaki’s all-new 2013 model Ninja 300 is now available now at dealerships across Australia for $6199.
That’s for the non-ABS model, with three other models coming soon:
- Kawasaki Ninja 300 (ABS) $6699
- Ninja 300 Special Edition (non-ABS) $6399
- Kawasaki Ninja 300 Special Edition (ABS) $6899
The current Ninja 250R retails for $5999, and the Ninja 250R Special Edition $6199.
As for the Ninja’s 300’s main competition, the Honda CBR250R is $5490. And we'll be riding them head to head very shortly.
The Ninja 300 is available in either Ebony or Pearl Stardust White.
The engine, fed by 32mm throttle bodies, is claimed to produce 38.9hp (28kw) at 11,000rpm and 27Nm at 10,000rpm.
Drawing inspiration from Kawasaki's range-topping litre-class ZX-10R, the new bike shows off an impressively integrated look, boasting flush-fit front indicators, a 'big-bike' muffler, dual headlights, modern LCD instrumentation, and aggressive fairing design with a sporty rear seat cowl.
Throwing down the gauntlet to its rivals, the contemporary new look for the 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 250R is not at the expense of mechanical upgrades.
On the contrary, Kwaka engineers have matched the Ninja 300R's fast image and taken to the new bike with gusto, deploying, a stiffer diamond frame, wider rear tyre (140mm), uprated suspension and a back-torque limiting clutch.
Total curb mass is 172kg, and 174kg for the ABS model. Suspension is a 37mm telescopic fork with a Uni Trak rear, adjustable for preload.
