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.

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.

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.

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.

The Kawasaki Ninja 300 is a thoroughly dated machine in all respects, but it has some unique strengths in today's market. If you like the baby Ninja, then it still makes sense to go for it, although we'd recommend paying full price and going for the latest model. Because the older ones won't be E20 compatible. Real-world fuel economy is subjective and depends on a multitude of factors. So we can't tell you what you should expect; for reference, you may check out our fuel efficiency numbers from when we road tested the Ninja 300. Coming to the TVS Apache RR 310, this is a more modern and feature-rich machine and will also be cheaper to buy and maintain in the long run. However, purchasing it without taking a test ride is an avoidable risk, and we'd recommend you try to get a test ride from TVS once more before you make a decision.
