Q. Why is r3 preferred over ninja 300?
  • Everyone have different choices you can't say that r3 is preferred over ninja 300... I don't know but let's admit that R3 may have better function than ninja 300.. but one must also admit that r15 also looks similar to r3 and r15 is very common bike nowdays so r3 becomes a very ordinary bike in terms of road presence . Go for ninja 300 💚
  • Who said. Bull. Anytime Ninja 300.
  • I will anytime buy a Ninja 300.

Q. Yamaha R3, Ninja300 or Benelli 302r, which is better?
  • It would be unfair to give a verdict here as the Yamaha R3 and Benelli 302R are yet to make their debut in the BS6 era. On the other hand, 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. Despite its age, the 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 300 still remains a formidable supersport offering. 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.Read More: - Five Key Aspects Of The BS6 Kawasaki Ninja 300

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...

    Dark roads 

    Man...... This bike just shines like a star in the top end, it did even defeated the two 400cc category monsters: DUKE 390 and RC390.I use to ride this machine for my daily commute to institution, and some Sunday rides. For a twin-cylinder, it's just smooth as butter, refined but then when you go past 9000rpm, it starts to show its true character. It just puts its all nuts till remarkable 13,500 rpm redline! maintenance is quite expensive because 'obviously, it's a KAWASAKI.' The twisty and curvy roads of Assam is where this bike belongs to. You get just more and more amount of confidence when you start to lean down.It's road presence is like a gem. Anyone can recognise it by its powerful twin halogens which helps me overcome the dark roads.I say, overall, it does do Justice for its price. But just lacks in modern equipments like USD forks, Aluminium swingarm, full digital console. That's on you what you choose, but for me, ninja is the most dominant 300cc supersport bike.

    I am using bike since 2018 

    I am using bike since 2018 ending.This bike is magic.Not once did i think of upgrading or regret buying this bike.Head turning looks, Comfortable riding position, Crisp gear shifts, Easy cruising in the city (for me sixth gear comes in 30-35 speeds), Butter smooth engine that comes to life in high rpms, Sweet sounding exhaust, The way it picksup after 40kmph and goes upto 150kmph easily and stays there comfortably and not at all stressed all some of tge best features that made me fell in lovevwith this bike.Being a japanese relisble engine i hope i can keep it for atleast 1, 00, 000+ kilometres on the odo.Service cost wil be a bit premium for users who just upgraded to ninja.But its totally worth and once you start riding ityou forget the cost.Spares are much cheaper now and easily available.Mileage is depending pn our riding style.Love this bike.Thank you kawasaki for such a wonderful bike.
