Rider Profile

Best ForThis is an excellent bike for beginners and newer riders thanks to its light weight, low seat height, and forgiving, manageable power delivery.
PurposeBuilt as a lightweight sportbike, it excels at learning proper cornering technique and providing engaging, confidence-inspiring rides on twisty roads.
Rider FitIts low seat height, narrow chassis, and modest 172 kg weight make it easy to handle for riders of smaller stature or those less physically strong.
CharacterA friendly, high-revving little twin with a playful, eager personality that rewards riders who like to keep the engine spinning and work the gearbox.
Not Ideal ForIt is not well suited to riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, heavy highway passenger duty, or any kind of off-road capability.

2014 Kawasaki Ninja 300 Performance Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 785mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Kawasaki Ninja 300 Performance, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
