At the heart of the 2026 Kawasaki Ninja 300 sport motorcycle, Kawasaki pairs a 296 cc engine architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 26 Nm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed, return gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 62.0 x 49.0 mm with a 10.6:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Ninja 300 measures 176 kg (388 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 mm (0 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
