Question: Did they give any sort of idea as to when the 2013 Ninja 300 will arrive at dealers? I plan on putting my down payment in tmrw or Monday.

If they haven't, is there a general area of time which they normally release in?


Also: When do you expect to see two brothers and other aftermarket companies announce their gear for the 300??





Can't wait for this by the way...some extra highway oomph with updated looks is definitely enough for a college kid to say "forget eating" and put the money towards a bike...

Hopefully never :thumbup:

You would betray the pregen brotherhood like this? We shall cast you from our highest peak, unto the dustiest street with only the stock tires at your disposal.

If you're in college I wouldn't put a brand new bike on the top of your priorities list, especially something that will put you into a hole about $5-6k deep.

I'm just saying this since you already have a pre-gen.

I have no bike as of now. I sold mine back in July. I've saved up mone ysince then and plan on putting 2k down and doing three years financing...figure it'll come out to about 100-110 a month plus insurance...which I am able to afford (well paid internships are well paid)

Thanks jig haha. Yeah, my profile needs updating, haven' been on since I sold it.

Anyway, can a mod dump this thread? No one is even attempting to discuss the original thread topic.

rph12 - I haven't heard a time frame on the new bike BUT I have also been thinking of starting payments to get one...I have had my PRE-GEN for 6k miles now and have been looking for a super deal on a 2008-2012 for a while with no rush BUT now that this "new" little monster is coming out. I AM IN!!! Maybe Ill go by the dealer today and will post what they tell me later.

Bahaha please don't!!! That would be mean :p

47cc's. fun.

taller 6th gear ratio. good for commuting.

Wider rim that fits 140's. GREAT FOR USING UBER STICKY TIRES!!!!! :D

fuel injection, not the deal breaker. I converted my bike to FI for a tinkering project. It's nice. Very convenient. Both fuel delivery systems have their disadvantages. It's a lot easier to limp a carbureted bike home if anything goes wrong on a ride. It's also easier to tune a carb'd bike.

My guess would be Oct/Nov

Highly doubt Kawi would do a big event now and then wait til Dec/Jan to release them

Yeah man, 28 posts, thats plenty to call for THE mod (theres one) to close the thread lol.

I have already put my money down and they told me because of their dealer status they should be able to get mine no later than Nov but it could be as soon as Oct. Some dealers may wait longer unlike this one.

Hope this helps some.

How are you guys putting down deposits already?

Have you even sat on the bike yet? ;\

Yeah, I'm expecting a late October or November release as well. Seems to be the typical time-frame for bikes and given the announcement now, it would make sense.

The dealership near my house said they would be available mid November.

Easy go to the dealer and they will take deposit as soon s MSRP is announced at least in my case. I went last thus right after the unveiling and made my order.

I have been riding for 30 years so I am not going into this bike to blind. I have been on the new gen 250 and owned the old gen ninja in the early 90s so I am not to worried about negatives connected with this bike.

I sat on a couple different bikes. And after ridding my 250 the 300 feels the same just a little less cramped . I can say after checking it out I dot see any possible disappointment for the price.

You can't buy Mx bike for that price

hmm

Well, I guess I could make a deposit (Only if we agreed that I'd get my deposit money back if I didn't like it). Do they typically give you a written OTD price during the time you make a deposit?

Good luck . I never heard of a refundable deposit

Deposit is to show you are committed to the buy ?
If you don't like it there is something wrong w u lol

They told me my deposit was refundable :D I dont want It though i want me a bike. :p I sat at the dealership like 30 mins on a 2012 green 250 talking to a dealer. :thumbup:

ur 300 will be slower than my 250

My future stock 300 would keep up with your highly modded 250 :P

doubtful

we'll see :D either way it be all fun maybe you can mentor me :P

As enticing as going 5 under the speed limit sounds I'll pass on that :D

The release date shouldnt be too long for u guys... They went on sale in Australia last Thursday.. A week after they anounced that we were getting the 300. Btw they didnt have a actual release date they just sprung it on us

My future stock 300 would keep up with your highly modded 250 :P

Maybe in a straight line.

Dont be jelly :P

Why would I be jelly? I've already put about 11,600 miles on my bike. That's 11,600 more riding miles than you have ;)

My days will consist of uber riding mauahahahaha :D

We heard OCT/NOV last time the new version was coming out...... then it was two weeks, two weeks, two weeks... Until it really came in FEB.

i wouldn't wish stock tires on my worst enemy...

Most of the Pittsburgh dealers unbox theirs beginning of April. I would call perhaps Mosites. Gatto will charge out the ass for dumb fees. They wanted over $5k for my 250 and I got OTD at Mosites for $4400 for a leftover 2010.

The guy I worked with before isn't there anymore but they're pretty low pressure. You say no to the warranty they take that.

Hope this isn't the case.

I just called a dealer and he told me they'll have a 'couple' of them in stock in late October / early November.

Then he added that they won't have any more until January next year. Again, probably just a scare tactic or their way of saying "we want your money now". Still thinking about making a deposit though. :p

First off, i'm glad to be back on ninjette! I thought I was going to pull the trigger on a used CBR600RR but I'm glad Kawasaki made a new 300R for the U.S. finally! It seems to be the perfect bike for me, since I don't care all that much about power.

I wanted a 600 more for styling and wider rear wheel (freeway riding with my 09 ninja 250R was kinda scary sometimes). But this new 300R should be the ticket. All my friends with 600s and 1000s made/make fun of me for loving my old 250 (sold her about a year ago), but that bike was fun! I never even started pushing the envelope but I can't wait to try this 300R out.

Surprisingly, a lot of Kawasaki riders aren't too thrilled about this bike? I thought everyone would be psyched.

I'm stoked about it! But I'm a poor college guy. My money has other priorities. I could buy one, but then I would be flat broke.

Motorcycles take a back seat to textbooks and food

just borrow your friends text book or go 50/50, and eat ramen noodles.

enjoying life takes the front seat.

These things are already starting to pop up at dealers already, looks like Champion Motorcycles has one in Newport Beach.

White ones are out now. Bought one today. Paid MSRP though :(

Exhaust will probably be about 2 months behind I would GUESS

:confused:

:confused:

I paid $4,795, which was MSRP or "sticker price". I am usually a hustler since I used to work for a dealership- I use every trick in the book to save money and usually ride away close to dealer cost. This time there were only 2 within 200 miles and they had other people on their way to see it.

Paid no fees though so with tax/tag/registration it was $5,231 out the door.
