Kawasaki is a well-known brand name among people, particularly among the elder generation who grew up on Kawasaki-Bajaj motorcycles. From that time until the present, the Japanese two-wheeler company has become significantly larger and more premium in India. The brand focused on localised production of its bikes and launched Ninja 300 in 2018 which was a heavily localised bike. Since then the bike has gone through various updates and ruling the hearts of Indian young bikers. To know more about its features and specifications, let’s discuss them in detail.
