A substantial boost in power for the 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 lets the overall gearing sit higher than the 250 model, leaving the rider in a more comfortable riding position. This is well-suited for city riding, where sufficient low-end torque keeps the RPMs under 6000 at each upshift.
A few improvements have made their way into the motorcycle, including fuel injection, a slipper clutch, optional ABS, and a revised chassis (hence the higher seating), all of which complement the bigger engine. While the bike is slightly bigger than its predecessor, it remains smile and agile, so you can manhandle it as you zip your way through canyon or track.
