New for 2013 ~Ninja 300~

ConradM · 09-05-2012, 02:02 AM

Replacing the Ninja 250 here in the states.

Comes with a slipper clutch and optional ABS.

I think it looks really good.

There's also going to be an official release event in new york on the 13th.

It's rumored that kawasaki will also be introducing the "new" zx6r as well which is going back to a 636 and has updated 10R styling.

That is a good looking bike. I had a 250 before I got my Z and loved that bike, would have definitely kept it if it was stronger.

We have had a blast with the 2011 model 250. But I sure love the looks of the 2013.

sandm · 09-07-2012, 09:19 AM

that's a nice bike. I loved my 250 but it was just too small to commute daily on the interstate.

didn't click on the link so don't know about pricing, with what happened with the last facelift, wonder if the price will be over $4500 now. they were a bargain at 2999msrp. not so much anymore..

Yeah but 600's used to cost $8k too.

cms1172 · 09-07-2012, 09:41 AM

the 2012 model was 4200 MSRP, Carl's had theirs marked at 4800
the 2011 was 4000, would guess that the 2013 would reach the 5k mark.

sandm · 09-08-2012, 08:02 AM

^that's getting too much for a 300 that most consider a "learning" bike. they should shoot to keep the price low and hope that the dealer has done their job educating the consumer on the brand and hope for the percentage that move up in a year.

I ended up getting my '06 250 from a dealer in slc as carls had an $800 markup on a 3kmsrp at that time as well. dealer in slc sold it to me for msrp otd.

Guys, don't forget about Grizzly Motorsports, they have been great to me.

sandm · 09-08-2012, 09:25 AM

grizzly is the bomb. I bought my old '08zx there and they were great to deal with at the end. MUCH better than carls was to me.

I would have bought my 250 there but they were sold out for the year, and they couldn't match the holdover price on my '09 last year or I would have bought a second bike there.

service department has been great....

CRAZYACE595 · 09-08-2012, 11:45 AM

I agree! Grizzly Sports is the best! Been doing buisness with them for years and they have always been great to us. Best Sales,Parts,and Service hands down.

Besides the fact that their used bikes are priced sometimes $2k over book values.

CRAZYACE595 · 09-08-2012, 02:03 PM

Yeah that may be? We have never bought a used one from them...I think all dealers are way over book on used ones.
