I have had the Kawasaki Ninja 300 for just over two years now. In that time, I have gone on long trips, commute daily, grocery shop, and everything else on this bike. The Kawasaki Ninja 300 is my only vehicle. I thought after two years of ownership and 33 thousand miles under my belt, it was time to share my full review of the ninja 300.

2 months ago I bought a used 2015 ninja 300 with 3000 miles on it. knowing nothing about riding and having zero riding experience I learned in 2 days. I absolutely love this bike it's beautiful , looks sporty , it's easy to learn on , excellent gas mileage , enough power and it's so nimble. it's ridiculously hard to mess up on this bike. only problem I have is I'm 6'2 200 pounds and I'm kinda cramped but it's still really comfortable. Awesome vid man !

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Thanks man. I bet a thicker seat and some adjustable rear sets would help you get a little more comfortable.

@nerdplays4942 7 лет назад

ThisLifeRiding had you crash your bike before?

@Carlos-tx9vt 7 лет назад

ThisLifeRiding would you recommend me buying this bike new or used? I have never ridden any bike before and i'm planning this one to be my first...

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

From a financial stand point, I would always say buy used. Having said that, I prefer to buy new. Thats just me.

@Carlos-tx9vt 7 лет назад

ThisLifeRiding okay thanks thanks I think i'll go for the new one.

@robduncan599 7 лет назад

In my opinion you have the right attitude and philosophy to life and your motorcycle , no need to get a bigger bike if your very happy with the one you got , it's small, light ,nimble ,economical and as you say plenty powerful ( as fast as 90% of cars) . So i say keep on enjoying your bike.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Thanks man.

@hershelthrasher502 5 лет назад

It's 2 wheels, fast enough to kill yourself, reliable, cheap, and it has an eco light as long as your under 72mph.

@Proudtobeshortie 5 лет назад

As a 5'2" girl, i agree! the ninja 300 is a perfect bike for shorter people. I had mine lowered when i first bought it to feel more secure but took it out after a few months. Looks better and handles better without it too!

@davidmadison5582 6 лет назад

0-60 is more like 5.5 secs.. I traded my 300 for a cbr00rr. i love my 600 but i wish i had kept this bike. It's an excellent all around bike. I was always in the garage messing with it. :) good memories

@roopnarinericky 3 года назад

I love your videos. I just got my first "good job" where I can save and I'm not living paycheck to paycheck. The ninja 300 is honestly my dream bike. I don't want too much power. I just want to ride a motorcycle and have fun by myself. Thank you for such a good review

@desimc89 7 лет назад

I adore my Ninja 300. It's one of 3 bikes I own (CBR600F4i, RVT1000R), and it's excellent for US public street riding. I urge anyone on the fence not to think twice about getting it -unless the SV650 or FZ07 are in your budget. Just like everyone doesn't need a BMW M5, you don't need a 90+ hp bike to have fun. If you live near good twisting roads, you may even leave higher-displacement riders behind depending on your skill level. It attracts a lot of positive attention from non-riders because it looks like a sexy supersport. The ABS brakes, slipper clutch, and linear throttle are very helpful for beginners. I only wish Kawasaki updated it since it's been out since 2013. Also, it lacks passing power from 80 mph to 90 mph, but I understand that few want this ability.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+Adam-Wade Yep, compared with all he bikes I've ridden, it's still my favorite.

@chucklantz8290 5 лет назад

It's great to see a positive, but honest review. I bought a 2016 300ABS KRT a few months ago, and I agree with everything you say about it. It's the perfect size for running around the city, back roads and some highway. Who needs 150+ hp for that?

@LuisFlores-sl5un Год назад

After about 6 years I can tell your videos at that time convince to own a one of on e of this ones, already at this time is my commuting byke, just love it, thanks then and now for your advice.

@quintondebruyn8632 7 лет назад

I got this bike last week - I am a new rider with a "gear" bike. Used to ride a scooter for 5 years. Absolutely LOVE this bike. Fast and light, great on fuel. Easy to handle and has more than enough power for the highway.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+High Clone Nice man. Congrats.

@garisrael196 7 лет назад

Hey TLR, watch all your videos. I recently just got my 2016 300 two months ago and best purchase I've ever made. I love it. Keep up the good work👌🏻

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Hey, thanks man. Congratulation on the new bike.

@theninja3352 6 лет назад

Very nice review! These days, all you see and hear about is how anything below 70-80HP is worthless... but you’ve really explained the strengths of this bike well! Has great power (ridden a friend’s Ninja 300) ✅ Great looks ✅ Not “cheap” (in terms of quality) ✅ Remember: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BEGINNER BIKE, ONLY BEGINNERS!

@LeftTechticle 5 лет назад

If your steering starts wobbling when you take your hands off, it could also mean the front wheel in unbalanced. I got my front tire changed and balanced and fixed this issue.

@gjrodgers20 7 лет назад

Growing up, my dad always had Ninjas, but has now moved onto the cruiser class. I'm more of a cruiser guy myself, but the 300 seems like something that I'll end up adding to the garage just to have. Plus, maybe I'll teach my kids to ride on it whenever they're old enough. Thanks for the awesome review; Keep the videos coming!

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+dUnDRa Thanks man. I started as a cruiser guy as well.

@kemonchad2945 11 месяцев назад

At 5'11" and 210lbs I rode mine 5hrs all interstate, 2 ways, around 80ish at approximately 8300 rpm, and it was all good. Butt started to cramp the last hour in each direction but my dual sport starts to cramp me up in about an hour so that's pretty good for a "beginner" bike In my opinion. It's definitely capable of more than city commutes it's quick and nimble, it's not gonna win any races against anyone with skill or hp, but it's a decent all around road bike for sure. I love mine

@BIOHAZARDCURE 4 года назад

9:30 I took delivery of this bike on a rainy day and you're so right! 5 minutes on in interstate water stared pooling there and I was so confused lol.

@WilliamHayes0892 7 лет назад

I've been wanting a bike for a while and after watching your videos I am finally going to look at my first possible bike this weekend. 2015 ninja 300 looks just like yours. I've never been more excited!

@licensedblockhead 6 лет назад

I'm 2 feet tall and weight 600 pounds. Is this bike good for me

@ConvictedGreed 7 лет назад

I bought mine in the summer and since it's a toy I only have about 400 miles on it, but I love it. Being 6 foot 240 I am very comfortable on it and super confident in holding myself up at stop lights. I do commute to work on stop and go traffic so having that confidence helps a lot. Keep up the good videos!

@AgeraXXX 7 лет назад

@houdiniakathemagicman2580 7 лет назад

i started on a 300 i also own a 600 as well and 3 mopeds. i find myself riding this more then others but i have disagree when people tell people to start on a 300. you can start on anything as long as you respect it and adjust yourself to it. if you have plans on hitting freeways alot 600. if your looking to city ride or backroads then go 300

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+Houdini Aka the Magicman I started on a big bike and I wish I had started on the 300. That advice just comes from personal experience.

@CrystalsLife481 4 года назад

I love my Ninja 300! I doubt I’ll ever ‘upgrade’ because it’s so perfect for me. I do plan on getting a cruiser, too, however. The Ninja 300 is a wonderful bike!

@fwmn6174 7 лет назад

It's good to watch a video to compare a similar aged ninja and how they have faired. Being a female rider of a ninja I can comfortably flat foot at a stop. I need to get the seat padding fixed - can only last about an hour sitting on the bike.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Yeah, I hear you there. I can last about an hour during city riding but much longer on open freeway riding.

@fwmn6174 7 лет назад

ThisLifeRiding for me it doesn't matter - but it also could be I only ride maybe 1-3 times a week and only been riding for 6 months

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Yeah, thats certainly possible.

@MikesonStudentSD 7 лет назад

I got a 2016 ninja 300, I'm 5'10 and I sit comfortable on the seat. Though I do tend to side fallword and crush myself on the tank most times I try to sit as far back as I can. I have no problems on highway apart from numb feet from vibration, probably from been on the balls of my feet. Very easy to turn around on the twistie. Front brakes are okay "non abs" the back one's are not to flash okay for trail breaking and keeping bike while stopped. Overall very fun bike.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Thanks for the thoughts man. I usually sit up against the tank. I find it the most comfortable. I had the same problem with feet getting numb for a while till I upgraded my boots. Don't ask me how it helped, it just did. Another thing you might consider is getting some rubber mounted foot pegs. That would all but remove the problem for you. Thanks for the comment.

@upmineandyours 7 лет назад

The brakes on my 2016 300 are abs and I really love my bike..Plenty of power handles real good love riding it...

I know it's probably a bit late, but as he mentions the brakes in this video being bad, I noticed he doesn't use the front brake while stopping. That's why the brakes aren't as good as you hoped. If you're braking properly they stop just fine! Otherwise everything is spot on, and great video!

@ThisLifeRiding 6 лет назад

+Josh Pixley Yeah, I realized my poor braking Practices a few months after shooting this video and put out a correction video.

@nubwagon3758 6 лет назад

A full textile mesh jacket with full armor pads. It will offer no abrasion protection but it will make the heat bearable. You you want a little better skid protection, get a half and half jacket. Usually has leather in shoulders and elbows but mesh everywhere else. Its warmer but better protection.

+Angry Medic I have a 15 min commute and a 25 min commute that I do every day to work one way. I have two jobs. I've been doing that or more for 2.5 years. Yes, the engine can handle it fine.

I want one of these to learn on. I've never rode a dirt bike and I laid down my brother's gxsr 600 the first time I got on it a year ago. I've owned one manual shift car before and totally burnt the clutch up in about a week. Everyone I see reviewing this bike are 5'10" or shorter. I'm 6'3" 212lbs. I take it I might be too big for this small bike.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Nah, I think you would probably be find. i would suggest heading to your dealer and finding out for yourself though. Best way to know for sure.

@KingN8Boogie 6 лет назад

ThisLifeRiding 6 months later and I finally sat on one. It was a 2015 Special Edition model w/1000 miles on it for $3000 and some change. Needless to say I went ahead and bought it. My first bike and I’m happy with it. The dealer also threw in a cover and a practically helmet that the previous owner didn’t want anymore because he decided riding wasn’t for him. Maybe in a few months I’ll be a motovlogger as well.

nice video, i have mine Ninja300 since 2013 and its awesome, BUT maybe im "old fasion" but Ninja and not Lime Green?! its like not red Ferrari :) You know classic

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Im not a huge fan the Kawasaki green. I prefer something a little less flashy.

Is the bearings really the issue with shake when you take your hands off the bars?? my bike has done that basically since new. I wasnt sure what it was. Was leaning more towards bad factory tires.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

When I switched out the bearings, I also switched out the front tire during the same service. So, from personal experience, I can't say it was the bearings alone. I have had other people who have reported to have changed the front tire but the problem remains. There is a possibility that it is both but after reading through a lot of forums, I tend to think it is the bearings causing the problem.

@TheRedHeadRides 7 лет назад

Great review!! Super reliable bikes...too bad the engines dont last this long when racing...the good news is they are super cheap to replace!!

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Haha, how many miles have you put on the Ninja 300? I have almost 40k and the engine is still running great. No problems whatsoever.

@TheRedHeadRides 7 лет назад

When you're racing its the fact that the engines are not meant to be wound and ridden as hard as a 600 or a 1000, so they tend to break around 30-40k miles if you've been racing them hard. For a commuter, they will go double that no problem :)

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Haha, I figured you were referencing racing. I think the Ninja 300 would make such a fun little track bike. It's no 600 but still, tons of fun in the twisties.

@shanec.6930 5 лет назад

Been racing mine non stop for 50,000 miles!

@deadlyapollo 7 лет назад

Coming from a GSXR 600, I noticed that yes for highway im around 8-9k for long periods of time (mind you I own a Versys X-300) but its the same engine as the ninja. I know Kawis love high revs but god damn.......Also I noticed I dont have to blip the throttle when downshifting it seems to do it by itself.....

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

The bike has about 42k miles on it now, about 90% of that on the freeway and still no problems yet.

@bushwhookie1334 5 лет назад

I have the 2018 300 krt and love it wouldn't trade it for nothing.. had a 700 Suzuki intruder good bike but not fun just boring and not as smooth as this 300 it has all the power you need.

@swojchwat 4 года назад

yea... soggy crotch sucks XD. Thanks for the review. This moment I would take kwasaki versys 300 but the choice is not easy ;)

@nicholasnolan4143 7 лет назад

whats the process of getting your motorcycle license in the US? do here in Australia we have to do a 2 day course a multiple choice test and a practice riding test

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

We can either do that or take a written test, get a permit, ride for a certain amount of time, take a ridden test, then get our license. I like taking the two day course myself.

@MaKhMoKh 7 лет назад

great video as always and good points, it is a the best for beginners also it is easy to control and got a lot of power and I LOVE it, even now I got another Bike a cruiser Victory High Ball but still I got out when I need to get as fast as possible because with it I can Break lane and can move freely, what I don't like about it and I will fix as soon as I can is the rear Tire are so small I'm thinking about 150 at less and the exhaust I need to buy an new slip on exhaust just for the sound. tried couple of time taking a passenger but to be honest I didn't like it but who ever joined me love it so much i'm 5'6" and 154lbs and the bike is kinda small some says but I love it and I enjoy it every time I go on a Ride.

Thanks man.

I live in South Texas. Passing at 90+mph is normal here lol

@sillywilly6431 6 лет назад

What do you think a fair price would be for a used ninja 300? I'm in NC and there are A LOT of these bikes on Craigslist all for damn near the same price. Ex. 5000-10k miles for around $4000. Seems high as hell and the dealers want $4999-$5299 depending on color for brand new. I look in Florida and the same bikes are going brand new $3999. What gives?

@ThisLifeRiding 6 лет назад

+Will Boy Sounds like it is time a road trip to Florida.

@raamnaveen5735 6 лет назад

In Cali I know people selling for 2,700

@NorfolkSouthern-xt3xx 7 лет назад

Do you think that at some point you will trade in your current 300 for a newer one? Just curious! Your bike is a 2014 model,...do you see trading up to a 2017 model 300? 33,000 miles seems like a TON of miles for a motorcycle!

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+NorfolkSouthern1068 Mmh, not sure. I hope to get at least 100k out of this bike. After that, who knows.

@NorfolkSouthern-xt3xx 7 лет назад

Even with some of the minor issues you have had with the bike,...would you say that overall it has given you very good service?

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Oh yeah. I think it has served me just about as good as I would expect any bike to.

@tylerchurchwell1 6 лет назад

I know I'm really late but I'm about 5'3 would you still recommend the bike to a shorter rider like myself?

@jacobshepherd3997 5 лет назад

I would, plus you can always lower it a little

@tyborstorff5397 7 лет назад

Where in Arizona do you live? I'm in tuscon I'm looking to get my first bike and was hoping to get one of these, I was looking at a dealership and they were a bit out of my range for price? Do you know anyone selling a used one? Or a good way to find a used one

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+TheBeastlyBeaver I'm in the east valley. I would suggest Craig's list.
