Jiggles · September 13th, 2012, 04:33 PM

They should release another $3000 bike. BRING BACK THE PREGENS!

akxel · September 13th, 2012, 04:38 PM

yea definitely 60% cooler hahaha.

Jono · September 13th, 2012, 07:21 PM

I'd rather have a real bike and get a used 600 for this kinda money.

And it would make me 160% cooler!

Bassman · September 13th, 2012, 09:13 PM

Alright, I'm saying $5,198 non $5,598

ABS

I am going to say $4,799 non abs and $5,499 abs for the win. But I do have a question does the SE cost extra for non abs. I saw that it is the only option for the abs model. By the way CBR250 non abs $4,099 Ninja 300 non abs $4,799 CBR250 abs $4,599 Ninja 300 $5,499. So the difference is $700 non abs and $900 abs. The CBR250 is full of fail, but I still would like to see the prices a little closer.

I have an 08 600RR and bought one anyway. Completely different bikes. The Ninja 300 is a great commuter and can be great for long trips with some mods due to the high gas mileage and upright position. I would rather have this bike than a $5000 600cc bike that has been flogged by the owner (they pretty much all get beat on hard)

Lakeshow · September 28th, 2012, 10:56 PM

Just for kicks when I picked my bike up the other day I asked about the 300 and they said OTD I could get it for 5189. Decent price basically it was msrp plus tax. I figure with that money I would much rather get a used r6

I see what your saying. But I already have two 250's. I don't really want or need a 300. But if I did, I would get a 351 big bore kit for the KLX250. I know most 600cc's get abused but it is possible to find one that was less abused than the rest. Haha.

But I must say, the Ninja 300 is breathtakingly beautiful!

Especially in white!

Heed · September 29th, 2012, 08:25 AM

looks great with the 5.0 behind it. would be neat if they were both the same color

broken neck · September 29th, 2012, 07:03 PM

The guessing is over in Canada...

A bit surprised with the pricing...

300 non abs :5 299$
300 non abs special edition: 5 499$
300 abs: 5 799$
300 abs special edition: 5 999$

Might rethink a bit my urge to switch to the abs special edition... Or trying to buy a white US non abs one...

I have a 250 also (Yamaha). I am really happy the KLX went to FI but disappointed the KLR did not. I will buy one once they finally switch to FI if there's nothing else on the market like it.

The bright side is the super sport engines are made to be abused at the track so the engine is not usually the problem. I just see the bikes as track bikes and there's so much about them that makes them impractical for the street. Why not a 650R or Ninja 1000? I almost bought the new 1000 when it came out but on my long distance bike fuel economy/range are my prioriies

Had to get the Mustang in black...

Was going to get the 300 in black but it doesn't exist yet. Happy with white though!

They do, it's called the Ninja 300 (non ABS).

The MSRP is $3,000...in 1993 dollars lol

If I could go back to '93 I would buy a brand new Civic EX sedan, a Supra, and the newest 91 Prelude 2.0si 4WS I could find.

Sigh.

Pretty stupid that you can't buy ABS in the US on anything but the Special Edition!

Since when is the KLX FI?? http://www.kawasaki.com/Products/pro...ns.aspx?id=698

It's still got a carburetor. Honda just came out with a Honda CRF250L which is fuel injected. So Kawi is now on the bottom of the 250cc dual sport category.

650s and 1000s are ugly. Haha. And I want an inline 4 or triple. I love everything about SS bikes. And it wouldn't be used for commuting. I have that covered. It would be used as a fun weekend bike/track bike. By the time I can afford a 600 I will hopefully be able to afford track days. This is all at least 3 years down the road. And by then maybe my thoughts will change.

Sorry I meant next year. Next years KLX is FI it's just not "official" yet but Kawi internally said so

All the better for me to be satisfied with my 250 for 3200. Seems like a good deal compared to a 300 for 5k or more. If the marketplace decides a 250 just isnt enough but a 300 is, youll be able to get 250s at fire sale prices, and in a coupleof years 300s for what i paid for my 250.
