The Kawasaki Ninja 300 was a sports bike in the Ninja series, powered by a 296cc engine, introduced in 2012 and released in 2013 as a replacement to the Ninja 250R in some markets, while in others were both sold at the same time.
The 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 was a step up from the successful Ninja 250R model, designed as a competitor for the Honda CBR300 and delivered powerful acceleration that matched sportbikes from bigger classes thanks to its redesigned Digital Fuel Injection system.
Also, the bike featured a newly engineered F.C.C. clutch that enabled more power handling capability with less effort, while a ZX-10R supersport-inspired bodywork made it more appealing than its smaller predecessor.
The frame was made of newly designed high-tensile steel main tubes with more rigidity that offered better chassis response and improved steering precision complemented by a beefy swingarm bracket that contributed to the frame rigidity and offered an optimal balance of chassis stiffness.
The 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 was powered by a 296cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that featured a dual throttle valve fuel injection system with a sharp throttle response and more power and torque.
As for the power figures, the bike delivered an output power of 39 hp with a peak at 11,000 rpm and 27 Nm (20 lb-ft) of torque at 10,000 rpm.
As for braking performance, it packed a 290 mm petal disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 220 mm petal disc with a tow-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
