Kawasaki refreshes its popular Ninja 300 with new cosmetic features, projector lights, and upgraded tyres, keeping its trusted engine untouched.
Kawasaki India Unveils 2025 Ninja 300 at ₹3.43 Lakh
Kawasaki has launched the 2025 edition of its entry-level supersport, the Ninja 300, in India with a price tag of Rs. 3.43 lakh (ex-showroom). While the design largely mirrors the outgoing 2024 model, the updated bike brings a handful of aesthetic and functional upgrades aimed at enhancing the riding experience.
Visual and Functional Enhancements for 2025
The standout updates for the 2025 model include:
- A taller windscreen to improve wind protection and aerodynamics
- New projector headlamps for better nighttime visibility
- Upgraded tyres that offer improved road grip
These tweaks may seem small, but they contribute to a more refined and safer ride, especially for highway touring and daily commuting.

New Colour Options and Graphics
To freshen up the aging design, Kawasaki is offering the 2025 Ninja 300 in three new colour variants:
- Lime Green
- Candy Lime Green
- Metallic Moondust Grey
Each colour option comes with revamped body graphics, adding a more dynamic and aggressive visual appeal to the motorcycle.
Engine and Mechanical Setup Remain the Same
Despite the cosmetic changes, the mechanical components remain unchanged. The bike continues to be powered by the familiar 296cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, which is known for its smooth performance and reliability. It delivers:
- 38.9 bhp of maximum power
- 26.1 Nm of peak torque
- Mated to a 6-speed gearbox
These figures make it a solid option for riders looking to enter the supersport category without compromising on performance.
