MSRP excludes destination fees, optional accessories, applicable taxes, installation, setup and/or other dealer fees.The Ninja 300 is the best lightweight sportbike available today, bar none. It is more than capable of surprising hard-edged competitors with twice its displacement in tight and technical conditions. That exceptional dynamic capability shouldn't be a surprise; considering the Ninja 300 boasts many of the same performance-enhancing features found on larger Ninja models, such as a digital fuel injection system and an F.C.C. clutch with assist and slipper functions. Compared to most sportbikes, the Ninja 300 also offers a more comfortable seating position and an easy reach to the ground, for ease of use and max day-to-day riding enjoyment.

Design also makes clutch easy to modulate and reduces the effect of back-torque to help minimize wheel hop when downshifting Sportbike bodywork features an aggressive and edgy design with strong Ninja family DNA that sets the Ninja 300 apart from its lightweight sportbike competitors High-tensile frame provides optimum flex for superior feel and agility compared to the competition 10-spoke 17-inch sportbike wheels look great and can fit premium sportbike rubber for optimum handling 6 gear transmission features a roller-type shift drum for smooth actuation coupled with strong gears for max durability. It also offers wide selection of ratios to match varied riding conditions and its positive neutral finder makes it easy to find neutral when stopped Kawasaki Air Management System (KAMS) uses a special deflector to channel hot air from the back of the radiator, so that it exits the bottom of the motorcycle, instead of being blown onto the rider when the fan is active.
