Kawasaki Ninja 300 is expected to see a price cut very soon. According to a report on Autocar India, the Japanese manufacturer is planning to increase the localisation content on the Ninja 300. This will not only help it price the Kawasaki Ninja 300 closer to its rivals like KTM RC 390 and TVS Apache RR 310 but will also make the most affordable twin-cylinder motorcycle in India. That said, the Kawasaki Ninja 300 is expected to be priced close to Rs 2.6 lakh as opposed to its current price tag of Rs 3.6 lakh (ex-showroom). The report adds that Kawasaki is turning towards local vendors for bodywork, lighting system, battery, along with wheels and tyres. Another aspect that will make the Kawasaki Ninja 300 even more interesting is the ABS. With the focus of Kawasaki on baby Ninja 300, it is clear that the motorcycle is here to stay after the April 2019 which is the deadline for the ABS mandate issued by Government of India.
