Canadian 300

broken neck · October 12th, 2012, 07:20 AM

Hell-O there...

Is there any canadian member who actually saw the new 300?

I went to a dealership yesterday, but there was none. The guy told me that the canadian presentation of the 2013 models are october 28th. So until then no 300 on the floor. Bikes should follow after...

I think it's a bit late (Canada temperature speaking) to get the Ninja in november up here...

Same think in your regions/provinces?

October 20 in Ontario.

NinjetteNewfie · October 13th, 2012, 06:05 AM

My dealer said they wouldn't be geting any in until the spring

"Canadian 300"

I was expecting 300 mounties holding off a mass army of grizzly bears through a narrow gap in the yukon mountains.

Kahuna Powersports in Toronto is unveiling their first 300 on the 20th (next Sunday).

Me likey the red.

5evenz · October 21st, 2012, 08:07 PM

There is at least 2 in most dealerships in Vancouver but there is no way to get one. I sat on a black abs and an ebony/green one.. Osoooo awesome. But there is over 8 ppl on the wait list and only 2 bikes coming in each month. Ahh cest la vie. Maybe next year

No moondust pics yet?

Yeah that red looks sharp...pixel sharp!

I was wondering what paint scheme that was! I think Kawi gifted Kerry a bike pretty early to get him and his team working on it quickly.

Byakkotai · October 21st, 2012, 08:40 PM

So they are hiding colors from US!

Did you have a chance to pick up your bike yet? (judging by your profile...)

Not yet, I've placed a deposit for a black ABS and delivery won't be until March

Alex · October 21st, 2012, 08:46 PM

March? March??? March?????

No, I don't think I could wait that long. What are you doing to keep busy in the meantime, do you still have a 250?

Yes, March! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Not a problem though since it's almost winter plus my dealer waved all the fees for me.. just msrp+tax.

I don't have a 250, got my license and passed MSF last month. This will be my first bike

I'll be hitting the slopes during winter in the meantime

broken neck · October 22nd, 2012, 04:48 AM

Thanks for the pictures Rekognize,

The red one is really nice, but too much "police attention" gabbing for my taste...

I'll think I'll pay a visit to a dealer just to have a seat on one...

I'll may wait for the Montreal Motorcycle Show to see what deal I could get...

Thanks again... At least they exist in Canada...

Talonne · October 26th, 2012, 12:08 PM

Blackfoot Motosports in Calgary supposedly has 2 on the floor (black and green). I haven't been in to have a look yet though.

Guevara · October 29th, 2012, 05:42 PM

The red one is real purdy

kmcdonald5500 · November 3rd, 2012, 07:54 AM

It really sucks that the US doesn't get the 300 ABS in black. Thats what I really wanted. I'll have to go with the black/green special edition.

Baja · November 3rd, 2012, 06:58 PM

That red is awesome!!

Could a person go into Canada, buy one and bring it back into the states? I wonder how much extra it would cost? If it was possible to do without an unbelievable hassle I would drive to Canada to get a red 300.

Keep in mind they're already $500 more expensive here than in the US.

$5299 vs. $4799. Plus you'd had to pay the taxes twice (13% in Ontario).

Rekognize · November 4th, 2012, 05:31 AM

Canada doesn't get the white 300 and green/black SE w/ ABS (non-ABS only)

Well that along with the cost of driving to Canada pretty much kills that Idea.

Plan B, Any one in Canada want to take a road trip to the states and swap white for red?
