Q. What will be the service and spare parts cost of Ninja 300 2019 version in India? Should I go for Ninja 300 or Apache RR310?
  • The service cost is definitely higher for the Ninja 300 as compared to the RR310. However due to localization, the spare parts are affordable. Earlier the cost of the total spare parts available for the Ninja 300 used to be around 2.5 Lakh and now that has been reduced to 50k. The Ninja 300 is always a better option if you can afford for the service cost. The average service cost for the Ninja 300 in Pune is 5.5 - 6 thousand.
  • Ninja for brand and ride quality.. top end power...Apache for the engine...overall ninja is appealing...if the qn was to compare with an orange bike...it would have been difficult...oops out of topic!!!
  • Service cost for Ninja is approx 4500 per service... Ninja is far better bike as the spare cost of RR310 is unnecessary high... just think about the cost of break lever and clutch lever for approx 1000 per lever... just an example that it's too too high for a TVS... moreover Ninja is far far superior machine...

Q. I am in confusion between Ninja 300 and Benelli 302 R. I am looking for long trip and more reliable engine.
  • Though I have not tried Benelli 302, I own Ninja 300 for last 1yr. Have done >10k on it with two 1000+km round trip. As a sports tourer the bike is unbeatable, the engine runs butter smooth, you can ride all day long at 120kmph and you will not even hear a wimper from the engine.
  • How about the tyre grip and braking?

Ninja 300 User Reviews
  • The RC 390 seems amazing and mind-blowing. I hope the design would just grow as it did with the old RC390, and I'm already living the design. Its similarities with its bigger MotoGP siblings. The 2022 RC390 will get new chassis, new wheels, bigger breaks, which saves a whopping 13.5 kg than the previous version. The new RC gets the same state of tuning but gets a bigger airbox which in turn produces more torque. The new design is also more aerodynamic and overall all these factors result in better handling, faster accelerations and a claimed top speed of 11kmph more than the old version. I'm just waiting for its launch in India and book it, Hope it will turn out to be one of my best decisions in life.
