      Errrr, Monk, can you ask them to explain this???
      Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!

            Nice! Waiting for more crisp photos from the event. And 3.5 on road, 4L I guess. Still a very costly proposition. But a Ninja shall remain a Ninja forever.

            Cheers!

            Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
            The girl said, 'NO!'


            And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

              No ABS version?!

              I am sad that we are not getting an ABS version. I think ABS is extremely important for Indian roads and we can definately shell out extra 25/30k for that. Many CBR 250 ABS are sold inspite of knowing it's poor resale value.

                In my opinion Kawasaki should have opted for complete localisation of the Ninja 300. Because if Bajaj can manufacture the Duke 200 which offers imba built quality I suppose the Ninja 300 won't be much of an issue either...also I believe that the pricing is a bit higher than expected...maybe when Honda brings the 500 series at a competitive price the scenario might change a bit...but this baby Ninja 300 is a good move for sure...

                  A step to full localisation is a major strategy decision for any automaker and requires loads of investment and commitment for few years to realise that volume. By how much would the cost come down due to full localisation, say 50%, even that would not justify going that way.

                      Waiting eagerly for that.

                        Good to see that the New baby Ninja made it's way to the Indian markets. . .

                        By the way, don't you people think there's something missing in it???

                        It's the tag R, it's just Ninja 300 not Ninja 300R, so does this mean it's a sports tourer like it's elder sibling the Ninja 650 and not a complete sports bike or what, totally confused. . ?

                          I think so. That's why they raised and widened the handle bars for more comfort during tours.
                          Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                            Great. But the lack of ABS and black color option is bummer...

                              IMO white looks better...and coming to look at it...the Ninja's brakes have always been sharp with much better bite....

                                Its nice strategy for the company to go 300cc.
                                When CBR250 had conquered the 250cc segment.
