Agreed, the price is high. But i believe N300 is probably the best motorcycle for our roads (N650 to some extent). You can find tons of them in the used market. If I were you, I would look for a pre-localization non abused model for close to 2-2.5L. This thing rode like a knife passing through hot butter.

Also, is there a typo in the official launch document - model year says 2022.

I got a call from Kawasaki Bangalore. Sales person said processing fees is approximately 13K and on-road the value of the bike is 4.16 lakhs.

I told him in official website it is showing as 4.09 lakhs. First he seemed stumped and started telling that it is not updated yet. There was no clarity on anything , he just said it will all add up-to 4.16 lakhs. I have asked him for a clear number and breakup in a mail. He said booking is open as of now and it will take 2 months to get the bike after booking.

I think the dealerships are not yet briefed properly, their product knowledge is appalling. Bangalore dealership is even more disappointing as already the registration charges are unreasonably high, on top they are just adding 5-10K to the final quotation out of no where.

All in all there was not even a single good bit about the Ninja 300 launch which is in favor of such a brilliant product.

One thing I did not see anyone mentioning is the torque. Its now down by 1nm to 26.1nm as per the Kawasaki-India website. Yeah it hardly matters, but do remember that the bike gained some weight when some parts got localized and now low on torque too.

Related but side note- any news on the Ninja 400 BS6? It was vastly overpriced the last time it was launched, hope this time it comes with a price correction a la the BMW 310 twins.
