Kawasaki India continues to roll out discounts across its motorcycle range, and the latest model to join the list is the long-running Ninja 300. With a discount voucher of Rs. 25,000 up for grabs, the price of the Ninja 300 has now been brought down to Rs. 3.18 lakh (ex-showroom), from the original Rs. 3.43 lakh. This offer is valid until the end of May 2025 or until stocks run out — whichever comes first.
Offer
Just like Kawasaki’s previous promotional campaigns, the discount comes in the form of a voucher. This voucher is directly redeemable against the bike’s ex-showroom price, offering a decent saving for buyers looking to own a twin-cylinder sportbike without breaking the bank.
The timing of this offer makes sense, as Kawasaki is likely looking to clear existing inventory. Given how little has changed with the Ninja 300 over the years, the discount might help push sales of this otherwise ageing model.
Engine
Despite its dated looks, the Ninja 300 still features a refined and reliable 296cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine. This motor continues to produce 38.88bhp at the crank and 26.1Nm of torque. Mated to a six-speed gearbox, the engine also benefits from an assist and slipper clutch, which helps with smoother downshifts and reduces clutch lever effort.
The engine is quite rev-happy and offers an enjoyable mid-range and top-end. It remains one of the more engaging twin-cylinder engines in this price range, making the Ninja 300 a solid option for beginner sportbike riders or those moving up from single-cylinder machines.
Hardware
The Ninja 300 has not seen any major upgrades in a long time, and the hardware setup is largely the same as it was a decade ago. It still uses a telescopic fork up front and a linked monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by disc brakes at both ends, supported by dual-channel ABS.
While this setup gets the job done, it’s clear that the Ninja 300 lacks the more modern suspension or braking components found on newer competitors.
Design and Rivals
The design of the Ninja 300 still carries that classic Kawasaki sportbike DNA — sharp fairings, aggressive headlamp design, and a full fairing that gives it a big-bike feel. However, compared to newer machines in the segment, the styling and features are beginning to feel a bit dated.
That said, for someone who values the classic Ninja silhouette and the character of a parallel-twin engine, the Ninja 300 remains an attractive option — especially at the new discounted price.
Its current competition includes the KTM RC 390, Yamaha R3, and Aprilia RS 457 — all of which offer more modern styling and equipment. However, the Ninja 300 still holds its ground thanks to its smooth engine and refined road manners.
Here’s a quick look at the key specs:
