The Kawasaki Ninja 300 is the entry-level model in the Japanese company’s Ninja range of motorcycles for the Indian market. Even though it is the most affordable Ninja that’s on sale in our country, that doesn’t mean it’s a slouch. The twin-cylinder engine and aerodynamic fairing help the machine to attain impressive speeds. So, how fast can it actually go? Let’s find out in this Kawasaki Ninja 300 top speed test.

The motorcycle in the video is the BS4 model. It uses a 296cc, parallel-twin, DOHC, liquid-cooled motor which is capable of producing 39PS of max power at 11,000rpm and 27Nm of peak torque at 10,000rpm. The transmission here is a 6-speed unit accompanied by a slip and assist clutch. Now, let’s get into the video.
