Recently PowerDrift spotted the bike Ninja 300R in Pune. There were rumors that Bajaj, which is looking after Kawasaki's Indian operations, might replace the existing Ninja 250R with 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300R. But we are expecting these two to be sold alongside. While Ninja 250R will continue to compete with Honda CBR250R and Hyosung GT250R, Ninja 300R will give competition to the upcoming KTM Duke 390 and its full faired sibling.
The bike uses a new chassis and its frame uses main pipes made from high-tensile steel tubing that is 150% more rigid than the tubes in the previous Ninja 250R�s frame. The added rigidity provides much better chassis response and improved steering precision and feel. The bike looks a lot like Ninja 250R and adopt most of the design cues from its elder siblings.
A trusted source also informed us that Ninja 300R is being tested at Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (VRDE) and also the bike has been through the ARAI tests. Bajaj seems full prepared and so we can expect it anytime around May. The bike will be assembled at Bajaj's Chakan plant and as the bike will follow the CKD route.
