The 2022 generation of Kawasaki India's successful entry-level sport bike, the Ninja 300 BS6, has been introduced at the same price of Rs. 3.37 lakhs (ex-showroom) as last year. Bookings are also available immediately.
Two of the three colors available – Lime Green, Candy Lime Green, and Ebony – now have new images. While the distinctive Lime Green color scheme of green, black, and white stays unchanged for 2022, the other colors have received minor modifications. In contrast to the green color of the 2021 model, the Candy Lime Green now has Ninja stamped in gray.
The fairing's web-like appearance has been replaced by a splash of black and gray. The Ebony is the one that has received considerable modifications since the graphics are now completely new. All of the patterns have been removed, leaving only basic green stripes on the black panels of the bike.
Aside from these modifications, the bike stays unchanged. It complies with BS6 and includes two-channel ABS as standard. The KTM RC 390, Honda CB 300R, Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, and BMW G310GS are among the entry-level sport bikes.
The same 296 ccs liquid-cooled 8-valve DOHC parallel-twin engine with two throttle valves powers the 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 300. At 11,000 RPM, it produces 38 HP and 26.1 Nm at 10,000 RPM.
The engine is connected to a 6-speed transmission with an 'Assist and Slipper clutch and a servo mechanism for easier lever pull. The engine is supported by a diamond steel frame with great tensile strength. The Ninja 300 is 23 kg less than the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, with a curb weight of 179 kg. The bike's seat height of 780 mm is lower than all of its competitors, making it more comfortable for shorter riders.
Kawasaki's Versys 650
Since 2006, Kawasaki's Versys 650 has served as a reliable introduction to road-focused adventure touring for riders of all levels of skill, as well as transporting salt-crusted commuters for years of dependable service.
Updates came in 2010, 2015, and now 2022, but the core formula has kept the same: a no-nonsense 649cc parallel-twin engine encased in a tubular steel frame with adequate room for a rider and pillion, as well as a set of 17 wheels for road-only adventures.
The two-wheeled Volvo estate — is likely to blend into the background of a crowded cycling meet, but basic, dependable, and capable of years of hard work.
This current model follows in the footsteps of the previous model, with the same steel diamond chassis and twin-pot motor, allowing for a claimed 66bhp and a modest 845mm seat height. The style, on the other hand, is new, and it now resembles the larger four-cylinder. The Kawasaki Versys 650 is a breeze to ride alone, fast or slow, and would be ideal for inexperienced riders looking for their first big bike in this manner, or anyone looking for an easy-to-live-with daily rider for all-weather adventures.
It's a bike that handles precisely how you'd expect it to, with light pushes on the raised bars allowing for easy direction changes at any acceptable speed. With a hard grip of the powerful front brakes, it soaks up the bumps of a British back road without being willowy and remains composed.
When the tarmac gets lively, there's ample ground clearance for heaps of lean, and the big padded seat and wide pegs make motorway drudgery simple and pleasant.
