BS6 Kawasaki Ninja 300 Features
Apart from introducing new colour schemes, Kawasaki India has implemented no other cosmetic changes in the BS6 Ninja 300. This is a bummer because the baby Ninja has been rocking the same design language for years and the Japanese company should have used this opportunity to give the motorcycle a makeover.

BS6 Kawasaki Ninja 300 Specs
The prime change in the new Ninja 300 is its engine. Although it’s the same 296cc twin-cylinder motor, it now complies with the BS6 emission regulations. The 8-valve, DOHC mill produces 39PS of max power at 11,000rpm and 26.1Nm of peak torque at 10,000rpm. Handling the transmission duties here is a 6-speed gearbox accompanied by an assist and slipper clutch.
