The Kawasaki Ninja 300 is suitable for an A2 licence, and it can be easily said that the manufacturer hit the nail on the head with this motorbike!

When released, the Ninja 300 was the first practical, economical entry-level motorbike available to the A2 licence group.

More recently, as Honda, Yamaha and other manufacturers have been replacing sporty bikes, the Ninja 300 was replaced with the Ninja 400 in 2018.

The Ninja 300 remains one of the best small capacity bikes out there, and is a hugely popular choice amongst new riders, thanks to it being completely A2 licence friendly (no restrictor required).

Although Kawasaki’s Ninja 300 has a top speed of only 93 mph, it holds bags of fun and makes an ideal commuter, whether you’re a new or experienced rider.

Thanks to its 296cc small capacity engine, the Ninja 300 is very lightweight, offers superb handling and great economy – 280 miles per tank, at over 75 mpg.

To further the discussion on costs, this bike is very affordable to insure, road tax costs only £43, and the actual cost of the Ninja 300 is quite low, due to it being aimed at entry-level or commuter riders.
