    Re: Good time to buy a N300?

    Even I was having a talk with SVC guys regarding issues in N300, he happily said they always come every 6 months for their normal servicing.
    Very Very few issues/niggles. It's something a very big point for the ppl who own a duke390 and have to visit SVC every couple of days(including me).

      I get spares for regular service quite easily. Only when the right fairing got damaged, I had to wait for 1 week to get it. On the other hand when the chain adjuster broke on my bike due to misaligned tyre during installation, they had that readily available.

      Spares like indicators too you get easily.

      Let the owners speak about the availability of spares.

      Ninja 300 does have better quality and refinement than the D390. However, for someone who has an eye for details you can still find lot of rough edges. For example, the indicators, speedometer, headlamps fog up during rains. The fitting of the side fairing has uneven gaps at few places.

      I would say wait for the R25, as dealer folks have started receiving training for the same.
      The rusting exhaust issue has been rectified?

      It is not without niggles.
      - The headlamps fog up.
      - Rust forms on exhaust.
      - The fairing has gaps and sometimes buzz or vibrate.
      - Regular servicing is not an issue but incase you need any other parts be prepared to wait a week or two or more. Accident repair takes atleast a month.
      Regardless, Life shall go on.

        ^^ Have heard that the rust issue on the exhaust has been modified in the 2015 model that is currently on sale. Fairing gaps issue is known but am not sure that Kawasaki has come up with a remedy for that.
        There is no better therapy than riding a bike down a straight road at full throttle with the sound of the engine for company.

          The Ninja just became 20k dearer on road. Now priced at 4.2L with zero dep. Insurance in Hyderabad.

            A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
