Re: 2013 kawasaki ninja 300 - rush is addictive
Guys,
I have a question for you and maybe because I am on the wrong side of 40 which means I have the patience of a 60 and the exhuberance of someone who is 20. What has been your experience of riding the Ninjette and the scenarios that you would normally see around you when you ride? I will share my experience first.
My experience
1) Cops stopping you just for the heck of it and asking "How much did you pay for it?" + "headlights are on"
2) A million people gesturing "press me" but what they mean innocently is "your headlights are on"
3) People take notice of you but think "hey my bike no less than yours" - who is comparing buddy?
4) Have had guys revving it up standing next to you on a traffic light indicating that "mine's faster than yours' - so be it, who is racing....
5) Cars allowing you to move ahead and not trying to race (for a change). BTW I vociferously curse bikers when I am in my car.
6) There were times when I overtook slow moving bikers (some with pillion riders belonging to the fairer sex) and the minute I did so, I could see a streak of lightning trying to pass me. Had to slow down so they dont risk their life.
7) Wherever I couldnt keep my patience, did the 0-100 ASAP (despite the break-in period) so as to teach lessons but felt sorry after that. Sorry, only for loosing my composure. People learn lessons the hard way
8) This is the best part........ whenever a comrade (Ninja owner) crosses / passes by, the familiar right hand saying "Hi" or a "Thumbs Up" sign is so so reassuring
So guys, what has been your experience on the roads so far?

Hello guys,
I've just joined the forum and have requested that I be added to the FB group. Got the Ninja 300 from the Kanjur Marg outlet on 23rd July and have done 575 kms till date.
Just wanted to share this with you guys out there. This goes back to 1983 and as an 8th std student, we were discussing fastest bikes when someone said Kawasaki Ninja. That name got into my head In the 2nd week of July, my junior comes and tells me "Sir, bike book kar raha hoon" to which I ask "Kaunsa" he said "Avenger" and proceeded to the Bajaj Auto website. At the corner of the webpage, I saw the lines "Meet the Ninja" and that did it. Made a down payment on the weekend and got the bike in a week. I didnt inform my wife nor my kids about the bike till I got it home.
Well guys, to some it looks like I am suffering from mid life crisis but knowing me I would call it "chasing my dreams"
