2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 Review
Last week, we discussed the details surrounding the current Ninja 300 U.S. reveal at Times Square in New York City. In short, a longer stroke (48.0 mm vs 41.2 mm) is responsible for the surge displacement. Connecting rods and pistons are lighter, shortened and strengthened to cope with the extra power while maintaining the same deck height and 13,000-rpm redline as 250.In addition to the larger engine, digital fuel injection finally makes its way to the baby Ninja. Equipped on the Euro-spec Ninja 250s for several years, 2013 marks the first time it has been available in the United States. The benefits are substantial: easy startup (very useful in colder weather), smooth idle, more precise throttle response, cleaner emissions, and fuel economy is much better. Measuring 32mm throttle body and intake channel using dual throttle valve for more precise spark throughout the rev range.
Kawasaki tests showed that there was clutch in the 250 can not handle the increased torque of the 296cc engine. So it turned to the FCC Japanese company, who delivered the unit, powerful new show "assists" and flip function. You may be familiar with the grip slippers now, because it is very effective in limiting the rear wheels jail for aggressive downshifts or careless. Results in light coupling function helps attract many riders, new or experienced, will appreciate.
Optional ABS is a huge improvement next and features of the new 300. Using Nissin ABS unit weighs only 631 grams, it's 60% lighter than existing Nissin unit available, and Kawasaki claims it's the smallest and lightest ABS unit available on any current production motorcycle.
At the end of the 32-mile course, winning record astounding 105 mpg! Perhaps more impressive, the worst of floggers still recorded 50 mpg! I logged the second-best numbers in the 103 mpg. Need speed is very slow and drastic measures to achieve three-digit number, however. However, under normal conditions, expect the numbers in the 60's 70's high or low. With 4.5 gallons of fuel onboard, you'll go pretty far before finding a gas station.
With all these factors in mind, if I suggested a bike with a new rider, I can not think of a reason not to steer them towards the Ninja 300. Expect the bike to hit dealerships near the end of October.
