Kawasaki Ninja 300 India price has been announced and bookings open

The bookings for the Kawasaki Ninja 300 in India are now officially open. As of yesterday afternoon 3 pm all showrooms in India are accepting bookings for this new 300 cc Kawasaki that has been generating a lot of interest world over. The booking amount lies at 40,000 INR and deliveries would begin within 3 weeks. The version available in India will be the non-ABS one. The ex-showroom price of the Ninja 300 in Bangalore lies at 3.5 lakhs and or-road price is expected to be close to 4.1 lakhs. Quite pricey but yes quite a classy machine as-well. The bike would be available in two colour options white and the traditional Ninja green.

The 300 cc Kwacker with the 50 cc capacity bump features a slipper clutch that is a first for a bike in this capacity and a first on any bike introduced in India. Visually the Ninja 300 has the same looks as the 2013 Ninja 250R and the updated version finally gets a good looking speedometer console. The 50 cc bump has resulted in a pretty good power bump and the new number lies at 38.45 HP at a high 11,000 RPM. The torque figures lie at 27 Nm at 10,000 RPM and Kawasaki says that they have given enough low end torque for stress free city riding.
