Recently we tested the new Kawasaki Ninja 300, the mini sports bike that the Akashi Company launched a week ago in Germany. The particular bike is equipped with a revised frame, a revamped engine which produces 39hp, revalved suspension and a sleeper clutch which is a unique feature in its class. The new Ninja is more stable at high speeds, it provides better stability and control under braking and the “torquer” engine gives you better drive out of the corner. The top speed exceeds the 185kmh margin and the bike surprises you with its stability even at this high speed. In the twisty country roads of Frankfurt suburbs the bike was a pleasure and fan to ride. As for its looks, it gives you the impression that is a bigger bike.
