Overview

The 2026 Kawasaki Ninja 300 is a sportbike from the Ninja family, produced from 2013 through 2026. Its liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 296 cm³ parallel twin makes 39 hp (29 kW), and the motorcycle weighs 176 kg wet.

A 785 mm seat height gives the rider a relatively low perch, while the 176 kg wet weight is something to account for when pushing the bike around at low speed. The 17-liter tank and 4.45 L/100 km estimated fuel consumption work out to about 382 km per tank; the rear shock’s five-way preload adjustment lets you tailor its spring setting to the load.
