Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better Kawasaki Ninja 300 or Royal Enfield Bullet 350?
  • Both bikes are good in their own forte, Kawasaki Ninja 300 is one of the most affordable bikes in the market you can buy with a parallel-twin engine. The Ninja 300’s USP was its butter-smooth parallel-twin heart. As expected, Kawasaki has tweaked the same 296cc, parallel-twin engine to meet the BS6 norms. The motor now makes 39PS and 26.1Nm, which is 0.9Nm less than the BS4 Ninja 300. We expect the motor to feel as refined as ever on the go, and more importantly, it’ll be better for the environment too. Despite its age, the 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 300 still remains a formidable supersport offering. On the other, the Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is more than just a motorcycle; it's a piece of motorcycling history. If you're drawn to its classic design, relaxed riding style, and the idea of owning a bike with a strong legacy, the Bullet 350 could be an excellent choice. However, it's essential to acknowledge that it might not match the performance or handling characteristics of more modern motorcycles. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Is this bike worth to buy?
  • Yes
  • Kawasaki Ninja 300 is one of the most affordable bikes in the market you can buy with a parallel-twin engine. The Ninja 300’s USP was its butter-smooth parallel-twin heart.

Despite its age, the 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 300 still remains a formidable supersport offering. The baby Ninja has the dynamics of a comfortable tourer with its parallel-twin heart and with a few updates is loads of fun around the twisties or on a track. However, we feel Kawasaki has played it safe by not giving any additional features, which is a bit disappointing given the Rs 20,000 price hike. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which is the best bike between KTM RC390 and Kawasaki Ninja 300cc?
  • 300cc
  • Well, both bikes have their own perks. If you are looking for a lightweight bike with high-performance in terms of speed then you may choose to go with the RC 390. On the other hand, if your choice is to go with a bike that has the tough build quality and a reliable engine then Ninja 300 fits the bill. Moreover, we'd recommend taking a test ride of both the bikes for a better insight into the performance, comfort, and compatibility. Follow the link for dealership details - Bike Showrooms.
