Kawasaki Ninja 300
The Kawasaki Ninja 300 has a top speed of 170 km/h, produces 39 hp and weighs 172 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.
La Kawasaki Ninja 300 a été introduite en 2013 en remplacement de la populaire Ninja 250R, dotée d'un plus gros moteur à deux cylindres parallèles de 296 cm3 et d'un style actualisé pour correspondre à la gamme Ninja pleine grandeur. Elle est devenue l'une des motos sportives d'entrée de gamme les plus vendues au monde, saluée pour sa puissance accessible, son efficacité énergétique et sa maniabilité adaptée aux débutants. La production a été interrompue vers 2017-2018 sur la plupart des marchés, avant d'être remplacée par la Ninja 400, qui offrait des performances nettement améliorées.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Watch the Coolant System
The Ninja 300 is prone to coolant leaks around the water pump seal, especially on higher-mileage bikes. Always inspect for pink staining near the lower engine cases before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The Ninja 300 holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand from beginner riders and its LAMS-approved status in many regions. Expect to pay 70-80% of original retail even on a 3-year-old example.
Parallel Twin Reliability
The 296cc liquid-cooled parallel twin is widely regarded as one of the most reliable engines in the beginner bike segment, often running past 30,000 miles with basic maintenance. Regular valve clearance checks every 15,000 miles are key to longevity.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"The benchmark used starter bike that actually delivers on its promise."
$3,500-$5,500 usedThe Ninja 300 is arguably the smartest used bike purchase you can make right now. Kawasaki built these things properly — parallel twin pulls cleanly from 6,000rpm upward, the chassis is genuinely sorted, and they look sharp enough that nobody's calling it a learner bike. Pick up a 2014-2017 example with sensible miles and you're getting a motorcycle that'll actually teach you something rather than just letting you get away with bad habits. That said, go in with eyes open. These bikes attract new riders, which means used examples often carry the scars — dropped at parking lots, dodgy chain adjustments, fork seals weeping from a tip-over nobody mentioned. Inspect the bar ends, frame sliders, and levers before anything else. The engine itself is practically bulletproof if it's been serviced, but the ABS models command a premium worth paying. At current used prices, nothing touches it for the money. Just budget another few hundred for fresh consumables regardless of what the seller claims.
