Hi, was a bit of a lurker on the old site and have just noticed that I need to re-register. Had a pair of Ninja 250's until last weekend when we traded them in for the new Ninja 300 :)
Any other 300 owners on here?

Hi Manic - difficult to answer at the moment as we're only up to 46 miles on them! Compared to the 250, it is slightly heavier and this is noticeable when man-handling the bike, I think because the tank is higher and the centre of gravity is higher.
Seat is like a wooden bench at the mo, but other owners have said it gets better after about 300 miles.
I think the 250 is a better starter bike, but the 300 feels more solid and positive due to the reduced engine vibrations, which is a huge plus as after an hour or so you'd had enough of it on the 250.
Need to get the tyres scrubbed in asap so I can actually ride it like I want to, then roll on 500 miles when the run-in is 'complete' and I can started pushing the revs a bit.
Has she had a test ride yet?
Hello and welcome......
I would be interested to know how your getting on with the bike. I am looking at the 300 along with smaller capacity bikes
Hi Grantham, passed by your way the other week when we took the 300s up to Lincoln.
They're still not run in yet so can't tell you much about them, but I know from other owners that the fun starts after 8000rpm :-) (redline is 13)
Will report back when we've had them a bit longer.
Thanks Xorro...... :azn:
