We updated you earlier with the pricing and other details of the Kawasaki Ninja 300. Thanks to the immaculate planning by various PR agencies, we had to handle the tough task of handling three different press conferences in two different cities at the same time of the day. Its surprising, for every auto company expects to the maximum media turnout at its events, and keeping these events at the same time more often than not splits the media, with a diluted report coming as a collateral in some cases.
Anyway, after a tough day of putting together three important press-con related stories (in addition to tens of other regular stories of course), we finally found time to sort, resize, edit and put up the images of the newly introduced Ninja 300. The fourth of the Kawasaki Ninja range of products launched in India is priced at at Rs 3.5 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The pricing is optimistic in our opinion, especially in view of the fact that it replaces the relatively cheaper 250R in the market, which itself wasn’t doing too well in the market in terms of sheer volumes.
Peak power of 39PS is impressive though, 27 Nm or torque, well, not so much. Packed with features and boasting drool worthy looks, the Ninja 300 should make it to Motoroids garage very soon for a detailed review. In the meantime, enjoy the image gallery.
Oh, and congrats for your first ever professional shoot with your shiny new Nikon D5100, Yatharth!
