Thanks!
Yes, most of the car/bike showrooms have atleast 2-3 guys for this purpose.
Nobody will take delivery of a uncleaned car/bike i.e too much dust.. :P

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Well, I am one of the few who's waited for 60 days! But then again that is because I wanted to take delivery on a particular date in June.

I had booked my bike on April 11 Gudi Padwa day and now the bike is slated for delivery on 10th June which is my mum's birthday!

I just hope the showroom guys don't screw up and delay the delivery of my bike...

Has anyone got their first service of their ninja? How much did they charge? An invoice pic would be nice.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Hi,
Has anyone from Bangalore taken delivery of the N300, I heard them saying that the waiting period is 6-8 weeks.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

i am shocked to read this... mumbai folks are claiming a waiting period of 100 days for a kwanja650. since i dont ride in rains, i am planning my bookings such that she comes by the times the monsoon is over... surprised that elsewhere the delivery times is 6~8 weeks only?

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Any Idea or news on if or when the Special Edition will come to India? I understand that Bajaj said they will consider the ABS if the numbers are good for the current version, but I have been looking up for news every day if the special edition will ever come because I just can't choose anything else other than the LIME GREEN for the Ninja!

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

At chennai waiting period is 4-6months dude.. be happy it is ONLY 100 days.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

At gurgaon waiting period for 300 is 1 month and upto 2 months for 650

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

I'm not sure whether we will have the special edition any time sooner than 2014, even then I doubt we may get it by 2014. It depends on the no. of people who are asking for the SE. I heard that if more customers ask for the Special edition, they may consider making it available.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

So finally after a wait of almost 2 months i got delivery of my vehicle. At the KTM showroom it was a very plesent experiance and things went of very smoothly. I insisted that i should get the bike first thing in the morning as soon as the showroom opened as i had a long way to cover back home. After all the paperwork the bike was delivered at 12. I had the advantage of a decent run in period as i rode it almost 300 kms back home though with a rpm restriction of 4000.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

Congratulations man. Way to go. Ride safe n be careful of the monsoons :-)

Ninja 300: Ninjette Calling

With the launch of the 300 aspirations of all Ninja fans must be soaring. Well to be very frank the bug of buying a sports bike bit me almost a month back though as all conservative Indians would say " Pretty Late in life". But I guess one should get younger at heart with each passing year. so it all began when I came across a friend Mr Amrinder who was passing town on an R1.i immediately decided that I too need to buy a bike now. The last one I owned was a Yamaha RXZ 135 which was considered real hep when it was launched I guess somewhere in 96. So that got me short listing bikes presently available in the Indian Market. Since I am presently driving a CRV and have been away from the biking experience for quiet some time I found the research very interesting . I was clear that I will not go in for a daily commuting bike also with due apologise to all RE diehard fans somehow the RE's don't appeal to me.......probably I see a lot of them daily in the course of my job. So the next available choices were:

1. Ninja 650
2. Ninja 300
3. R1
4. Fireblade
5. CBR 250

As I would hardly be located at big metros owning a litre class bike would have been a problem as far as maintenance is concerned also I would run out of road pretty soon. So that left me with the choice between the Ninja family and the CBR 250. Though 650 is the ultimate bike as a daily commuter and as a sports variant entry level superbike the only thing which made me drop it from my list was the price. So ultimately there were two bikes to choose from ie Ninja 300 and CBR 250. As Ninja 300 is yet not available here all my research was from International forums. the CBR though is a good effort from Honda but some how the fit and finish as compared to Ninja was ( my personal feeling) wanting. Also it does not give the mean looks of a sports bike. I had the opportunity of riding a 250 for a day and this is what I observed:
1. The engine though is pretty refined but it lacks the excitement.
2. The fit and finish , paint quality and plastic quality leaves scope for improvement.
3. The profile does not look imposing enough.

So the last in the list was ninja 300. Though at the time of booking no Indian ownership reviews are available but a lot of International reviews are on the net. Influenced by these reports I had taken the plunge and had booked a 300 on 2nd Apr with Pro Biking. Deliveries were to start some time end of April. As only two colours would have been available ie Green and White, I had gone for the characteristic green of ninja. What really got me going for this bike was that First off, it looks gorgeous, with proper big-bike styling that fools many a passer by into thinking it's a 600cc plus sports bike (aided by the lack of any stickers except, simply, 'Ninja'). It has big-brother design cues - especially the twin headlights, windscreen, fairing and exhaust. Its genesis is clearly a scaled-down middleweight rather than a hopped-up 125. This is a 'small' bike you can own and stare at fondly without feeling like you're at the rear end of the food chain.Despite the displacement increase, Kawasaki claims the Ninja 300 gets better gas mileage than its predecessor.

Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive

What if we cross the 4000 RPM mark before 800kms break in ? Any negative effect on engine/bike in long run ?
I got bit excited on Gr Noida expressway and crossed 150kmph twice after 400kms run, before that i was maintaining the RPM restriction.
