The Kawasaki Z300 has been officially launched in India, serving as the new entry-level naked bike in the brand's Z lineup. It is based on the fully faired Ninja 300, with borrowed design cues from the larger Z900. The 296cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin-cylinder engine makes 40hp at 11,000rpm and 26.3Nm of torque at 10,000rpm (which is 1hp and 0.2Nm more than the Ninja 300), paired to a 6-speed gearbox.
