Overview
The 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 Special Edition is a sportbike from the 2013 production year. Its liquid-cooled, 296.0 cm³ parallel-twin four-stroke makes 39 hp (29 kW), with peak torque of 27.0 Nm at 10,000 rpm; wet weight is 172.1 kg.
Peak torque arrives at 10,000 rpm, so reaching it means revving the engine. At 172.1 kg wet, the Ninja’s weight comes into play when maneuvering at walking speed, while its 785 mm seat height affects how easily you can get your feet down at a stop. The rear suspension’s five-way preload adjustment lets you tailor it to the load.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable rear preload
Five preload settings let you tune the rear suspension for the load you are carrying.
Liquid-cooled engine
Liquid cooling helps manage engine temperature during operation.
Things to consider
Chain final drive
The chain needs regular cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
High-rpm torque peak
Peak torque arrives at 10,000 rpm, so the engine needs to be revved to reach its strongest pull.
