Kawasaki has brought back the Ninja 300. The 2026 model has been officially announced for North America, with a starting price of $4,999 — unchanged from the 2017 model, with no increase or decrease. In a market where prices keep climbing, reviving an affordable small-displacement sportbike at the same price point stands out.

The Ninja 300 is back in North America at $4,999. Not raising the price is what matters most. A bike that teaches young riders their first taste of the track staying at an accessible price — that matters for the base of the sport. Throwing it around in corners is the best way to learn small-displacement fun. Genuinely glad to see its return.

So the Ninja 250/300 lineage is still going, huh. That's one long-lived bike.

In that same price bracket it's gonna go head-to-head with the KTM RC390 and Yamaha R3.

$4,999, same as 2017, is honestly god-tier. Kudos for holding the line amid all this price hiking.

Same price as 9 years ago is unheard of these days. Wish it'd come to Japan too, with the weak yen and all.

Bringing back the 300 now, of all times? Doesn't it overlap with the 400 in the lineup?

There's real demand for 300s in North America because of insurance and licensing classes. Different customer base from the 400.

Glad the Ninja 300's back. Sure there's the 400, but the 300's lightness is what makes it good.

Do the 300 and 400 really ride that differently?
