2015 was a 30th anniversary edition. This one is different.

Again , dunlop dreams have been crushed because the bike now sports Bridgestone and IRC depending on markets.
So we will continue with IRC

Bridgestones would have been great. But I think we now have an option when it comes to replacement of tyres. Micheclin, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Pirelli

Bike: 2016 Kawasaki Ninja 300 ABS - CycleOnline.com.au

What about these? Will this come to India? i wouldn't mind waiting for the black and red one, looks amazing!

The new bikes will reach showroom by end of this month. Not sure about price as of now.

Nothing above is coming to India apart from that meter. What is shown in the pic is a Special Edition 300 for MY16. What we Indians will get is the new meter design. Theres also a full green Ninja for MY16 . Check Kawasaki Japan website.
Only a white line on the fairing is the one we 'might get'.
Also, the Pearl stardust white has been removed from all over the world. Kawasaki India might remove the colour from India going forward or might bring in the full black.

Also all Ninjas have been updated with the colour that was introduced on the New ZX-10R.
And this coloured 300 also isnt coming to India.

Only the full green will be updated unless Kawasaki makes up their mind.
Last year this time , they updated with the 2015 model and I had to wait a little long get my hands on her. So maybe the same situation is going on now. If u check zauba.com again, you can see N300 is still imported as CKD with 40 of these coming in each lot from Thailand.

Yes the white would be available here for limited stock.

Exactly. I wish the markings in the tachometer would glow when ever the rpm needle rises. Or am dreaming too much

Hmmmm that can't even be counted as an upgrade, I don't think the white and green fairing looks that great really, but of course, in real it might be better. I'll talk to the KTM guys at the showroom and see if they know anything...

This color is exclusive for India. Bridgestone tires might come. Once the new color arrives to showroom, will check it & update.

[MENTION=11298]MR ACE[/MENTION] : Are you saying that ABS version will hit the Indian shore too because guys at PBK & Kawa India refused to speculate on this 5-6 months??

This is what a birdy from IKM told me. The color is already in 250cc but in south east Asian countries not in India as Ninja 250R. So this one will be exclusive color for us(Indians) in 300cc non abs avatar. Am i right @Ivin?

EDIT: Checked Thailand website http://www.kawasaki.co.th/ninja/inde...ge=ninja300abs
Comes in abs version.

Comes in abs version.

All the SE edition has only come with ABS on the 300 all across the world till now. So India will be the first country to get the colour without ABS(assuming India is getting it).
Can you tell me the source of the pics you posted first distinguishing the changes between 2015 and 2016 models ?
And Kawasaki UK has updated the old pics with the 2016 KRT edition N300 liveries

Re: Kawasaki Ninja 300 Ownership Experience

Hi I am not sure if this is the most appropriate forum for this ... But has any one done a Mumbai bangalore run on the ninja 300? Anything to keep in mind before attempting from a bike point of view ? (If not the right thread please point me in the right direction). Thanks

But must have been on a CBR. I'll let the Ninja owners give you bike specifics.

Btw welcome to xbhp. How was Octoberfest?
