In July 2018 Kawasaki launched updated Ninja 300 with dual-channel ABS and also reduced its price by Rs 62,000. Ninja 300 is now available for Rs 2.98 Lakh ex-showroom, Delhi. Heavy localization helped Kawasaki achieve this price reduction. Not only that, individual cost of spare parts has reduced significantly.
