The Kawasaki Ninja 300, or EX300, is a 296 cc (18.1 cu in) Ninja series sport bike introduced by Kawasaki in 2012 for the 2013 model year. It is sold in Europe, North America, Australia and elsewhere. In some markets, the Ninja 300R has replaced the Ninja 250R, while in others they are sold alongside each other.
Kawasaki will discontinue the Ninja 300 after 2017 and will be replaced by the all-new larger capacity Kawasaki Ninja 400 for 2018.
The Ninja 300 is based on the Ninja 250R, a lightweight and inexpensive sport bike in production for over three decades. Like the Ninja 250R, it has a full fairing, but a wider rear tire, 140/70, than the instead of 130/70 on the 250R. The Ninja 300 also has a LED tail lamp, 5 spoke wheels, neutral finder, and optional ABS.By comparison with the 250R, the Ninja 300 also has a slightly smaller fuel tank, taller gearing, and a back-torque-limiting slipper clutch with an assist mechanism that decreases clutch lever effort. Despite being a sport bike, it has comfortable ergonomics (such as windscreen effectively protecting from wind blast) which promotes commuting.
The Ninja 300 has a 296 cc (18.1 cu in) straight-twin engine.Dynamometer tests showed that the Ninja 300 produces more power with 34.95 hp (26.06 kW) compared with the 250's 25.48 hp (19.00 kW), and higher torque across the rev range at 18 to 13.57 lb·ft (24.40 to 18.40 N·m).
Its top speed has been recorded at 180 km/h (112 mph) and acceleration at 5.6 to 6.41 seconds from 0 to 97 km/h (0 to 60 mph), and around 14.5 seconds at 141.14 to 145.77 km/h (87.7 to 90.58 mph) in the quarter mile. The stopping distance from 97 to 0 km/h (60 to 0 mph) of the ABS model was 38.0 to 41.1 m (124.6 to 135 ft).
