Kawasaki has revealed the Z300, a new street-naked bike which could be based on the same platform as the Ninja 300. This motorcycle will effectively serve as the entry-level model in the brand’s Z lineup.

  3. More details and price will be revealed on October 20

Kawasaki Z300 details 

Could be powered by the 296cc parallel-twin as of the Ninja 300

At a recent event in Bangalore, Kawasaki showcased the Z300, which strongly resembles its larger sibling the Z900. The powertrain could be the 296cc parallel-twin engine, producing 39hp and 26.1Nm of torque, paired to a 6-speed gearbox. It features a wide, upright single-piece handlebar and relaxed ergonomics. Unlike the semi-digital unit on the Ninja 300, the new Z300 gets a TFT instrument cluster featuring smartphone connectivity and more. The new motorcycle will be available in two colour options: Green and Black.

After its initial appearance in Bangalore, an identical preview showcase will take place for Mumbai and Pune on October 18. Bookings commence on October 19, while technical specifications, variant details and price will go live on Kawasaki’s official website on October 20.

On Kawasaki India’s official website, the faired Ninja 300 carries an ex-showroom price of Rs 3.34 lakh. Because the naked streetfighter lacks the additional bodywork and considering the new electronics suites, if Kawasaki is able to price the Z300 around the sub Rs 3 lakh mark, it will offer multi-cylinder refinement against rivals such as KTM 390 Duke and TVS Apache RTR 310.

390 Duke or Interceptor 650: Best bike for casual riding under Rs 4 lakh?

-
Image
Looking for advice on which new bike to purchase. Few things to note - Budget is INR 3-4 Lakhs. It will not be my primary mode of transport as I mostly use my car. The bike will be used 60-70 percent for Sunday morning rides, 10-20 percent touring and 10-20 percent maybe the odd office commute or coffee run. Prefer comfortable upright ergonomics. Do let me know if you need any further info from my end. Thanks in advance for your help! Rahul Khurana, New Delhi Autocar India says: You haven’t mentioned whether the bike you are looking for is meant to be sporty and exciting or calm and relaxed in nature, so we’ll share a few options at both ends of that spectrum. Since this is going to be a casual use motorcycle we’ll keep things like fuel efficiency as a low priority but all options mentioned here will have upright ergonomics. At the sporty end, there’s no beating the new Gen 3 KTM 390 Duke which offers the strongest performance available at this price as well as outstanding handl...
