How long should a ninja 300 engine last?
I've seen plenty of 90's 250R's still in good running condition and The 2007 upward 250's and newer 300's have even better quality. They're meant to be dropped and ridden stupidily. And most importantly they're Japanese so I don't see them falling off in anything less then 25 years and/or atleast 100k miles unless you crash it of course! But if you want even longer running bike then consider a Honda CBR500R. These things are nothing but QUALITY QUALITY and QUALITY (Note: I said Quality not PERFORMANCE!) and their slow reving torquey motors with 8,000rpm redline makes things even better. And the less operating rpm the longer an engine will last. Heck I've an 80's Yamaha YB100 2-Stroke which are made to be cheap hence low quality, but been running strong since 1986 reliable and has 27k on the ODO so needless to say, fairly bulletproof. I rev the guts out of it everyday but that little beast seems to enjoy it. Just change oil, filters and fluids on time and keep valves cleared and you're good... Well, pretty much!
How long should I keep my ninja 300 before moving to a r6?
If you're a first time rider, then you've a LOT to learn. Regardless of your learning skills. For starters, there's shifting, clutching, braking and avoiding trees, pedestrians, cars and stuff. You've to learn to ride pretending like you're INVISIBLE. Once you develop these skills. Then you'll have to learn some advance skills like throttle blipping, rev matching, and counter steering. The 3rd and final chapter is squeezing the most out of the motorcycle. Learn how to keep an engine in its 'sweet spot'. Learn how far you can push the bike without loosing traction and ending up in a high slide. Learn how to do 'knee downs'. Some track days will help greatly. NINJA 300 is every bit as racey as an R6 albeit with half the displacement and cylinders. Its 14,000rpm red line explains a lot about its intended use. If you don't plan to learn any of this and just gonna use the bike for short Weekend hops to the local bar or bike nights or perhaps commuting, then you my friend is a POSER. Just so you know, A 50cc moped can do just that. You don't need an R6 for that... The Prince.
Is the kawasaki ninja 300 abs a good beginner bike?
The Ninja 300 is just a newer version of the 250. It's designed as a 'trainer', so it would be very easy to learn to ride. If that's what you want, I would still recommend you get a used one for your first bike. Now the 300 goes 100 mph (on a good day) but it's not DESIGNED to cruise at highway speeds. At a steady 60 mph it will be very squirrely, all over the road, not comfortable, not safe. This is the one single disadvantage of a smaller bike. Up to 50 mph or so, the Ninja 300 is all the motorcycle you will ever need. Above that it's sketchy. So it depends on what kind of riding you see yourself doing. If you're planning to commute 10 or 15 miles each way on the freeway, or go on long weekend trips, you need at least 500cc and 650 would be better. A Ninja 500 or 650 would be fine, or Honda 599 or Suzuki GS500 or SV650. Those are bigger/heavier than a Ninja 300 but not that much. You could probably handle it. The ZX is definitely not a beginner's bike. It's not the size or even the power, it's the kind of bike it is. It's a single-purpose sportbike, and it's not easy to ride or forgiving for a beginner like the 300 is. As for 'too much power', I don't think that's a problem. Bikes don't have a mind of their own. You only use the power you need, and it's nice to have a little extra power in reserve when you want to pass someone on the highway. If you ride like a grownup, you don't use every HP every second. And if you don't ride like a grownup, you can get yourself into trouble on the 300 just as easily. 8^)
Kawasaki Ninja 300?
Relax, the 300 Ninja is going to last just as long as the Honda equivalent. All the japanees bikes are well made. Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda. Price difference is determined by a number of factors. The CBR250R had over 100 patents in engine design alone. The team that thought up and researched how to make a single cylinder air cooled 250 that would last 100,000 miles and still average 80 mpg while at the same time being able to start in all tempuratures should be paid. The Kawaski acheives more power by having a greater displacement and higher compression. But, will also last 100,000 miles. However, the higher compression engines have more difficulty starting below 60 degrees. The 300 ninja should start reliably down to about 32. The ninja 250 would have difficulty, or just not start below 60 if your spark plugs, battery, and carburator where not top notch. The Honda CBR250 will start reliably below 32. The honda rebel, the most common bike on the road worldwide has a tempurature range of negative 20 to 120 F. Low compression, not particularly powerful, but able to run on bad fuel in china and still get 80-90 mpg. Simple, reliable, basic transportation. But, absolutly no fun to ride above 55mph. So, research and buy according to your use. In Washington, the 300 Ninja will suit you well. The sport tires grip well in wet weather and since you have a car just remember to winterize when you switch to your car. P.S. the 300 Ninja is a blast to ride at highway speed yet light and nimble for city.
Can I use Kawasaki Ninja 300 for touring? Which is best comfortable tourer ninja 300 or Yamaha R3 or KTM RC 390?
Classic 300–500cc motor dilemma.Let's get started.Products:- Ninja 300, Yamaha R3 or the RC390.Purpose:- Touring. (60% touring, 40% city commute)Analysis:-Let me be very blunt, count KTM RC390 out if you are looking for touring as the primary concern. Why? Here's why.Small fuel tank. Requires frequent refuel. Good for track, not so good for long roads with less fuel pump.Aggressive riding will bang you up incase of bad roads. Will tire you up. Again not a good sign if you are touringRough engine. The vibes coming from the engine will slowly wear you out. No matter how powerful the engine is.Hence, RC390 is not an ideal machine to tour.Coming to the Yamaha’s R3 and Kawasaki’s Ninja 300.Frankly, you can choose any one of them. You can't go wrong.I will sort out the points for the bikes below and you can choose which one suits you best.Yamaha R3Newest offering from Yamaha. Has established itself as a great product.Super smooth 321cc engine with well balanced distribution of power on the rev range.50:50 weight distribution for ease of handling and riding.Superb brakes.Good lightings.14ltrs fibre fuel tank.Yamaha aftersales services.Kawasaki Ninja 300Super refined, robust 296cc motor.Slightly sportier 49:51 type riding posture to do track and tour.High revving motor with peak power of 11k rpm and red lining at 13k rpm.Good lightings.Average braking and tyres.Slipper clutch to assist you in emergency downshifts.Comfortable both for rider and pillion.Now, a word of caution that Kawasaki services, both aftersales and maintainance are not exactly known. First due to lack of reach and 2nd, due to their costs. Kawasaki offers no free services and charges a premium for maintenance. Albet, that can be sorted out by using the parts as per your requirements( e.g. buying the engine oil from outside rather than the service).Now all the 3 machines can be used for touring provided you are ready to accept their cons along with it.It ultimately boils down to how much are you ready to push yourself.Hope this helps.As always, put on a certified helmet and proper riding gear while riding.Ciao.
Is it worth it to buy Kawasaki Ninja 300?
Is it worth it ?Here is your answerThis has been my bike for four years (I bought it in July of 2013) and its been very reliable. Its 90% stock, I only replaced the light bulbs for 5000k lights and LED pilot lamps plus an Akrapovič exhaustI dropped it twice and the bike stood up very well. The left fairing has scratch damage and the right fairing won't properly fit because I drop it, but all I need it click it back into place and its fine. My friend also had a crash in one of these and the fairing didn't cracked !I had issue with the Battery when I first bought it, but it not a big deal, I mean Kawasaki is known to have issues with electric components.The engine is as smooth as butter, it doesn't vibrate that much so rev it all up to 13k and you won't notice it reached the limit !The seats a comfortable for a sportbike, but I'd recommend gel seatsMy height is 183cm, I fit the bike perfectly. This bike was made for riders with the height of 175cmAnd that's the Ninja 300Now, Kawasaki has a reputation for making very durable motorcycles. This is because of their endurance racing and dirt history. Their engines also have the tendencies to revs high and smooth, which is why they have the confidence to put the power across the rev range. Most motorcycle manufacturer just put all of its power at an RPM band and the rest is history !Also bear in mind that Kawasaki made fast bikes, even if they doesn't seemed like it.So to sum thing up, its worth it to buy a Kawasaki Ninja 300 because the bike will serve you well.
Is the Kawasaki Ninja 300 Sport a good bike for a beginner?
I really would like to get a bike, but I've never ridden a sport bike. I've ridden dirt bikes, but that's probably a lot different... I don't want something insanely fast, because I'm not a fast driver. The Ninja 300 Sport has a Four stroke, DOHC, liquid cooled, parallel twin engine with 296cc displacement. How fast will that go? The fastest I'd ever need to go is 75 on the highway... Will this bike do that? Also, any tips for beginners? Thanks!
