In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Kawasaki Ninja 300 Special Edition motorcycle that came with a bundle of accessories worthy of the name Ninja, such as a color-matched passenger seat cowl designed to match the livery of the bike, and a specially designed taller windscreen that delivered more style and wind protection.
For 2013, the bike came with a new frame made of high-tensile steel main tubes that were 150 percent more rigid and provided more feel and agility compared to the previous model and a new supersport bodywork inspired by the Ninja ZX-10R that raised lightweight sportbike styling to the next level.
Also, the bike rolled on a set of new 10-spoke 17-inch wheels with a wider rear wheel that allowed the use of a larger tire and spun by a revised six-speed manual transmission that offered smoother actuation and stronger gears.
In addition, the bike had a Kawasaki Air Management System (KAMS), which used a special deflector that redirected the hot air from the back of the radiator underneath the motorcycle instead of blowing it on the rider.
As for power, the bike featured a new 296cc engine with lighter, anodized pistons that reduced friction and improved performance at every rpm and tuned for smooth mid-range and high-rpm power delivery.
As for the power figures, the 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 Special Edition, with its new 296cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine 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.
