    Kawasaki Ninja 300R Being Tested in India. Diwali Launch


    While we had always known that the all new Ninja 300R is headed to India, a good friend of us has told us that the bike is already in India and is being tested at Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (VRDE). We were further told that ARAI is conducting brake tests for the bike. Bajaj Autos Ltd, Kawasaki’s Indian partner, plans to launch the bike in the fast approaching festive season. The color options for bike include Green, Red and White.

    Does that mean no Black?? If yes then why

    Double the power at 50k extra...

    Extra 50k...? What happened to your maths...? Even if this comes with a price bump it will be 3.8 lac OTR mumbai... Currently the N650 is 5.7 lacs OTR Mumbai... Also do let me know where i India is the N650 at 4.3 lacs on road...

    but on the other side of coin, you can't do anything about it as raw material and import/custom prices also rocketed skywards.
    i still say CBR250 is safe as long as any 250 starts making local production [might be Yamaha 250]
    Thanks for the info. Now, it doesn't make sense to price the Ninja 300 so close to the ER6 duo. Hopefully, to maintain sanity of price, Kawasaki will launch the 2013 Ninja 250

    In the meantime, let's do some hypothetical number crunching. Current Ninja 250R costs 3 Lakhs in India. Let's take the example of the price in USA. The 2012 Ninja 250R (carbed version) cost $4199. The 2013 Ninja 300 will cost $4799 for standard trim and $5499 for the ABS version. a 700$ increase means 17%! Also to be noted is the 10% price increase of the 2013 Ninja 250 in Asian markets (where already launched). So, if the price increases by the same percentage in India, the Ninja 300 might cost between 3.3 Lakhs to 3.5 Lakhs. That's quite a price increase for an already expensive bike. Not to forget further potential increase if the tax laws or regulations are different for 300cc bikes.

I am still skeptical about N300 coming to India due to their pricing if launched here. Let's see what is finally launched in India and importantly how soon?
    i too read same thing, but i guess if price increase of 50k-60k on new Ninja then ... old and new both should sale along side, which makes perfect sense

    Kawasaki Ninja 300R Being Tested in India. Diwali Launch




    Just a few days back, we reported in detail about popular Japanese bike maker Kawasaki revealing the all new Ninja 300R. The latest in the Ninja brand of bikes was earlier rumoured to be a replacement for the 250R in many markets. However, the new 300R and the 250R, which are identical in appearance, will sell alongside each other.
    First impressions are that the 300R is nothing more than a slightly more powerful version of the 250R. Powering the Ninja 300R is a 296cc, parallel twin, fuel injected engine with dual throttle valves. The new motor pumps out a peak power output of 39 PS@11000 RPM and churns out 27 Nm of max torque @10,000 RPM. Power is transmitted to rear wheels using a 6-speed gearbox and the options list includes ABS . The 300R wears 110 section tyre up front and 140 section tyre at the rear.

    While we had always known that the all new Ninja 300R is headed to India, a good friend of us has told us that the bike is already in India and is being tested at Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (VRDE). We were further told that ARAI is conducting brake tests for the bike. Bajaj Autos Ltd, Kawasaki’s Indian partner, plans to launch the bike in the fast approaching festive season. The color options for bike include Green, Red and White.
    The news has set us excited and Indian biking aficionados are surely in for a treat in near future. The 300R will open gates to an all new segment in Indian bike market and is targeted at those who want that wee bit extra from their entry level sportsbike. The new Ninja is expected to command a premium of about INR 50000-60000 over the Ninja 250R.
    TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS-
    Engine- 296cc, fuel injected, parallel twin
    Max Power- 39PS@11000 RPM
    Max Torque- 27Nm@10000 RPM
    Transmission- 6 Speed Manual

Since Bajaj is also rumoured to be launching a 300, The Ninja 300 at teh current price point would be perfect... It would give the enthus something to cheer about and give the CC counting Junta something to mull about...

    i doubt the 300 would be released in india. and its not just a capacity upgrade. it has other goodies too, like the slipper clutch. that will definitely push the price up!

    The new 250 itself has seen a price increase (at least in Indonesia). There should be no reason why the price won't increase in other markets.

    Kawasaki, is very keen, bringing back it's old foothold of smaller CC bikes and it's good to see some refreshed specs on the Neenja 300. Just, the perimeter frame is missing, rather than the good old diamond frame, but I guess that should do justice for this babe.

    Cheers!
