  • The highest selling quarter litre bike in the world, the Kawasaki Ninja 250 has given way to its more powerful, better equipped and ridiculously good looking successor in the Ninja 300. Is it really that much better than the highly successful Ninja 250?
    PowerDrift finds out ...

    Indian road rules demands a protective covering which is called a "Saree" guard. This is designed to stop a "saree" which is a traditional Indian apparel from being tugged by the chain/rear wheel.
    That cage is also the FIRST thing that most motorists remove after getting the bike :)

    My first Ninja was an '03 250 and I got it in 2005. I grew up with dirt bikes on a farm, but getting married and having kids put riding in the closet for a long time. In June, I traded that 250 for the 2014 300se and I love it. It's small enough for me to control, yet big enough that it feels so much more powerful than the 250. The 250 had balls, but this one is beyond that. This will more than likely be my last bike ever. I'm a 55yo grandma now and arthritis in my back tells me how long I can ride but it's fun when I ride. I just don't dare lay it down without somebody stronger than what I now am to pick it back up. That was what shocked me most when I got the first Ninja, I wiped out on a dirt bike, I just picked it up and kept moving, lay down a ninja? I'm screwed. Ride hard or go home!

      PowerDrift Thanks! I can't wait for Spring to come but I'm hoping to still get a day or two in before winter. It's been a strange year with our Iowa weather. I wish everyone could have as much fun on a bike as I have had in my life.

      @@abhishekagarwal589 Thanks man, I had to beg my dad from the time I was 7 for a motorcycle and he wasn't going to let his little girl ride a motorcycle. I never backed off, and finally when I was 10 he got me a minibike. I wish it had an odometer on it because I know I put more than a couple thousand miles on it. He had to replace small parts over time, and finally it was going to be the engine and he finally gave in and got me a little yellow Yamaha 100 Enduro. I rode that even more because it had a lot more balls than the minibike. Some of the things he saw me do, he told me one night as he was coming in from the field and I was calling it a night, he said to me "Don't you ever let your mother see you doing any of that or she'll kill me". He was sort of serious but I just smiled. I learned on that bike with a great hill what it meant to become airborne. I was such a tomboy, lol....still am, but my body is paying the price for everything I did growing up.

    I fell in love with this bike after watching your review. I am from a lower middle-class background. I worked my ass off and ended up buying 2017 KRT version of Ninja 300. Drove 5000kms in 2 months and I just can't get enough of this bike.

    The motorcycling scene in India is very different than in the west. We go from mopeds to 100ccs to dreams of quarter litre and a very few get to go beyond it. But that is fast changing :)

    I occasionally watch videos on this channel but gotta admit that this channel puts some of the bests reviews out there. No bias and over or less highlights. Everything's upto the mark. Excellent execution and presentation. I can say same same thing about Autocar India but the host feels little older and lazy to review powerful bikes which is almost perfect with you guys. Awesome work. Keep it up. Will be visiting this channel.

  • @powerdriftofficial

    May be in future they would bring more color options. The 250R was available in Green and Black, the 300R in White and Green, and Black still remains Indias favorite automobile color. May be soon then ;)

    Its a saree guard, basically a guard that stops the Indian outfits (usually a saree or a loooong scarf - dupatta) from being pulled in by the rear wheel.
    Its a rule for two wheelers to have this to be road legal. And its also the first piece of equipment that enthusiasts remove :P
