I’ve been using an FZ25 for almost 7 years and now want to upgrade to a higher-segment city bike. I’m considering the Ninja 300, KTM 390, or Triumph 400. Which one should I choose?
The Triumph Speed 400 is ideal for city riding needs, thanks to its smooth, tractable engine. It is lightweight, easily manageable in traffic, and also the most affordable option from this lot of motorcycles. The KTM 390 Duke offers more aggressive performance, sharper handling and has more features, but the ride quality is on the stiffer side to keep in tune with its sporty nature. The Kawasaki Ninja 300, the only twin-cylinder motorcycle on your list, has been around for a long time and hasn't received any modern updates. The cost of servicing and spare parts of Kawasaki is also on the higher side. We still suggest you take a test ride of all three bikes to see which one suits you best.
I’m planning to buy a 300 cc sports bike for daily commuting and weekend rides. I’ve shortlisted two bikes: the Kawasaki Ninja 300 and the Apache RR 310. Both are head-turners and cost the same in my region. The Ninja, with its parallel twin, is a reliable machine but lacks some features for its price. On the other hand, the Apache offers every feature for its price but I’m concerned about engine reliability and smoothness. I’m very confused - please help me decide.
Among these two, the TVS Apache RR310 is the more modern and feature-packed motorcycle, making it more value for money. The Kawasaki Ninja 300 has not received any major updates in a long time and carries a higher price tag. The servicing and spare parts of Kawasaki will also be priced at a premium, so that is something to take into consideration. Two other bikes you can also check out are the KTM RC 390 and the Yamaha R3. Take test rides of all four bikes so you know which one suits you best.
Should I go for Kawasaki Versys X300 or Z300?
If you are after an affordable, twin-cylinder Japanese machine, then the Kawasaki Z300 is a good option to consider. The newly-launched Kawasaki Z300 should be very similiar to the Ninja 300 in how it rides - an old but rev-happy engine with a basic chassis that still works decently more than a decade after it launched.The Versys-X 300 is the machine to look at if you intend to do long trips and venture out of the city. Its engine will have similiar characteristics but its handling will be more neutral and planted than the more eager feeling Ninja and Z. The Versys-X does have more ground clearance - and consequently, a taller seat - than its siblings which will be helpful over unpredictable Indian road conditions. A test ride of both as well as an objective evaluation of what you're looking to use the bike for will give you the answer to which one you should choose.
I have asked the Kawasaki showroom in Ludhiana, and they said the off-road price of the Kawasaki Ninja is 3lakh 75 thousand, but here you have mentioned the off-road price is 3.14 lakh.
The ex-showroom price of the Kawasaki Ninja 300 is Rs 3.17 lakh, pan-India, and we guess that you and the dealer are getting your wires crossed with regards to ex-showroom and on-road pricing. Many people say off-road when they mean on-road. Ask the dealer for a clean breakup with ex-showroom, road tax/RTO, insurance, and every add-on listed separately. Remove anything you don’t want, and you’ll see the number drop a bit, but it most likely won’t get anywhere near the figure you're being quoted for a new Ninja 300 in India today.
I am 35 years old, a swimmer with an athletic build, 6 feet tall, and weigh 70 kg. I live in Ahmedabad, a city with poor road conditions, heavy traffic, and unpredictable road behavior. Hard braking and quick manoeuvring are often necessary due to potholes, slippery roads, and sudden pedestrian or vehicle movements. I tried the Pulsar NS125, but with a heavy pillion rider (90 kg+), I found it difficult to manoeuvre in tight traffic. The bike felt heavy, braking was harder to manage, and I experienced back pain after riding with a heavy pillion. Under the same conditions, I do not face any back pain when riding the Honda Twister with a similar pillion. Please suggest a new or used bike within a budget of ₹1.8 lakh that is suitable for city use, has a sporty look, offers comfortable seating, and is easy to manoeuvre without causing back pain, even with a pillion rider. Should I wait for the Kawasaki Ninja 125 launch? I am also considering a used Kawasaki Ninja 300 for the next two years—will it be comfortable for city riding, and will its seating position help avoid back pain while handling traffic with a heavy pillion rider?
Within your budget, you will get very old examples of the Kawasaki Ninja 300, which will likely not be in good shape after all these years. We'd recommend you go for a new bike for the peace of mind that comes with it and the warranty coverage that comes with it. Since you have mentioned you want something sporty, we'd recommend the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 and the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V. Both have energetic engines, good handling and will also be comfortable for day-to-day use with their upright ergonomics. Both are also reasonably comfortable bikes to carry pillion with, although larger people will be pressed for space. A test ride of these two should help you decide which is best for you.
