Kawasaki Ninja 300 specifications and photographs

Just couple of days back we brought you confirmed news of the Ninja 300. Now moving a step forward we bring to you the first images of the Ninja 300 along with its specifications. Looks wise the Ninja 300 is similar to the recently announced 2013 Ninja 250R with only a change in the engine capacity. The all-new Ninja 300, gets a larger-displacement 296cc engine with the power and torque to eclipse everything in its class, racetrack-level chassis stability, and race-derived clutch technology offering a supersport-style back-torque limiter and increased ride feel. Reduced vibration and new heat management technology result in the high-quality ride feel and comfort level one would expect from a much larger machine.

With its large-volume bodywork, the Ninja 300 can easily be mistaken for a larger machine — an image reinforced by numerous styling cues from our flagship Ninja models. From its aggressive new dual headlights to its sharp, minimalist tail cowl, every surface of new Ninja was painstakingly sculpted to ensure a high level of fit and finish, impressive silhouette and undeniable Ninja presence.
