Back in the day when I first starting riding motorcycles, circa 2002, I wanted a sport bike but since I was a newbie, I didn’t want something too powerful that’ll end up killing me. There weren’t many any choices for those that liked the look of a modern sport bike but without the power of a 600cc, and higher, bikes. I ended up buying a Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R, which was a big mistake, a newbie and that kind of power is/was a bad combo, thankfully I made it.
A decade later, there are now a few choices when it comes to less powerful sport bike that still look as good as the bigger bikes and today Kawasaki announced the Ninja 300, but we might be at square one, as Kawasaki hasn’t confirmed North American availability.
