Got my 300 today!

ninjamunky85 · May 28th, 2013, 06:24 PM

Here it is.

Only was able to take it for a short ride but it was really fun. I really like the 300 and think it's a nice improvement over my pre gen 250. Seating position was nice and not too aggressive. I really like the shape of the tank too, good for gripping with the legs.

Only thing I didn't like was that the exhaust is in the way of my foot. Also the rpm's are still a little high at highway speeds. 15t sprocket will fix that.

As far as power goes, the low end grunt was a nice improvement over the 250. Triple digit speeds came pretty easy as well. The exhaust has a more purposeful tone to it, but is really quiet overall.

Not much else to say. Hopefully this will be the start of a long and wonderful relationship. Let the good times roll...

Looks like a good bike! Have fun, be safe, and take care of her(or him)!
BTW what's the bikes name?

Uhhhh...EX-300

I've never been into naming inanimate objects, cars, bikes, guitars, etc. It's just not my thing.

Glad I'm not the only one. Congrats! It is a joy to ride.

ninjamunky85 · May 28th, 2013, 07:56 PM

So that's pretty much all the bikes I could want for now. Plan on making the ninja 250 a track bike. Might look for a Honda 50cc dirt bike to stunt on, but that is it.

Congratulations Buddy!!! She's a beauty

That's too bad... Black Widow would have been my name for it.

That front end looks so dam aggressive! When I saw the 300 in the showroom, I kinda regretted not getting a 300 because the front end looks better imo. But I don't regret it anymore though.

Congratulations on the new bike.

The more I ride it, the more I'm liking it. Kawasaki really did a good job with this bike.

250rr · May 30th, 2013, 10:11 AM

Congrats. It looks great in black!

ninjamunky85 · May 30th, 2013, 02:49 PM

Yeah, I really didn't consider any other color, although I think the white looks good too. She really is stunning in black though.

Honestly I liked black the best because it hides the cheap lookin' plastic parts since they are black as well.

P.S. did I mention I love this bike?

*evil laugh* most excellent another black ninja.

ally99 · June 6th, 2013, 09:27 AM

I'm so jealous!

Gorgeous!

ninjamunky85 · June 6th, 2013, 09:40 AM

Thanks, I need to get some better pictures of it.

c-dog · June 7th, 2013, 07:15 PM

Black 300 here too. It's great! Too bad I've had to work so much and it's always raining lately.

mrjasey · June 24th, 2013, 07:30 PM
