    Green with Ninja on fairing 'like' the ZX10R winder edition is the new Special Edition which most likely India is going to get
    Wish all the colors are available in India ... I needed something other than green
    When I'm on the road, I'm indestructible. No one can stop me... but they try.

      Graphic mod is not which is needed now. It's performance that they need to work on or else ktm and yamaha will end ninja 300's market throughout the world!!!!

        Is it performance on paper what you are talking about ? I hardly see any difference in real life to complain about when you compare the rivals with N300. Some came way late and what does it do to take the game forward other than power on paper ? How much difference does it make in real life ? Surely an update is to come today or tomorrow, need to wait and watch.

        Meanwhile, installed Galfer steel lines up front with EBC sintered brake pads, and EBC organic pads at the rear.

          New colors are dearly welcomed but i doubt Kawasaki will give us so many options.
          The real life performance is pretty neat but i do feel that its high time they should focus on updating the entry level sportsbike.
          Atleast introduce the Abs like the outgoing model in other countries. The Ktm is updating the 390's, Yamaha busy troubleshooting the R3, Mahindra, Tvs-Bmw, Honda(?250rr) although still far from overshadowing but sooner than later will start nipping at their heels so it would have been nice to hear something substantial other than the paint scheme from the japanese giant.
          Anyways... why organic brake pads at the rear ?


          Cheers.

            Sintered pads are more likely to chew the rotor. I believe front rotor can take that, and anyway I hardly use rear brakes.

              Any suggestions on where to get a bike cover that fits the N300? I have had two unfulfilled buying experiences recently where I ordered the covers online from ebay and flipkart and both were too small for the bike. This happened even though they were advertised specifically for the Ninja 300.

                      I bought it from US. Hence it got nothing to do with Indian pricing which would be almost the double

                          Haha. I too liked it. If you already have a bike, just get the new stickered fairings 😝

                            The current white-green color is different shade from this and the sticker work goes all the way up to the tail section, so how much would it cost?
                            And that means we keep the stock fairing as spare right ?

                              Fairings are 12k a side. This is for normal green.
                              In US, you have to buy stickers separately like KTM in India. I dont know what Kawasaki India is doing in that regard. Stickers costs a bomb as well
