At first glance, the 2014 Kawasaki Ninja 300 ABS might be mistaken for a middleweight sportbike due to its aggressive design and performance-oriented features. This lightweight sportbike incorporates many enhancements found on larger Ninja models, such as a digital fuel injection system, an F.C.C. clutch with assist and slipper functions, and a compact motorcycle ABS brake system. The Ninja 300 ABS is the best lightweight sportbike available today but is also capable of surprising competitors with twice its displacement in tight, technical corners. It offers a more comfortable seating position and easy reach to the ground, providing ease of use and maximum day-to-day riding enjoyment.

Features:

ABS Brakes: Boost rider confidence with enhanced stopping power.

Low Seat Height: 30.9-inch seat height and tapered seat boost confidence for smaller riders.

Engine: 296cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin design offers superior highway passing power and dominant acceleration.

Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®): Uses dual 32mm throttle bodies for outstanding throttle response and superb fuel economy.

F.C.C. Clutch: Assist and slipper functions provide excellent power handling capabilities with a light feel at the lever, making the clutch easy to modulate and reducing back torque to help minimize wheel hop when downshifting.

Sportbike Bodywork: Features an aggressive and edgy design with strong Ninja family DNA, setting the Ninja 300 apart from other lightweight sportbikes.

High-Tensile Frame: Provides optimum flex for superior feel and agility compared to the competition.

10-Spoke 17-inch Wheels: Look great and can fit premium sportbike rubber for optimum handling.

Six-Speed Transmission: Features a roller-type shift drum for smooth actuation, strong gears for maximum durability, and a wide selection of ratios to match varied riding conditions. The positive neutral finder makes it easy to find neutral when stopped.

Kawasaki Air Management System (KAMS): Uses a special deflector to channel hot air from the radiator, so it exits the bottom of the motorcycle instead of being blown onto the rider, making hot days and slow traffic cooler.
