At the heart of the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja 300 ABS sport motorcycle, Kawasaki utilizes a 296 cc (18.1 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 62.0 x 49.0 mm (2.4 x 1.9 inches) with a 10.6:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Ninja 300 ABS measures 174 kg (384 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17.03-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
