2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300R *UPDATED*: A Sneak Peak

speedshifter69 August 6, 2012 2013, Kawasaki, Kawasaki Motorcycles, Motorcycle Accessories, Motorcycle Parts, new motorcycle, Ninja, quick look, specs, street 3

Here at Dillon Brothers Motorsports we are anxiously awaiting the release of the new 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300R 250R.

Since it’s debut in 1983 the Kawasaki Ninja has ruled the entry level sports bike market and it looks like 2013 will be no different.  What will be different though is the Ninja 300 R 250R itself.  It appears that there’s some major changes coming for the 2013 model. After Honda came out with it’s newly revamped CBR250R in 2011, bringing some serious competition to the game, it was up to Kawasaki to step up it’s game and man did they ever.

Thanks to a mix up on the corporate website (or a stroke of marketing genius) Kawasaki let slip some details on the 2013 Ninja 300R 250R and there are some impressive upgrades coming. One of the most glaring differences will be the revised body work which makes it look much more like the ZX10R super bike than an entry level sport bike. The new angular bodywork will feature slotted air vents and a redesigned tail section. The fan shroud appears to have been modified to help push air down towards the bottom of the engine and away from the rider along with new heat shields on the exhaust improving heat dispersion and rider comfort.

In my opinion the biggest improvement of all will be the introduction of  the dual throttle valve electronic fuel injection for the first time in the US market for the Ninja 300R 250R. Or at least we can hope. So far I’m hearing it may only be available in limited markets.  All previous models have been carbureted in order to keep costs down but with the inception of the the fuel injected Honda CB250R in 2011 it’s time for Kawasaki to step up to the plate. Combined with new sleeveless die-cast cylinders, anodized pistons and increased cooling capacity the Ninja 300R 250R should get a nice boost in low to midrange torque and overall performance.

More notable improvements will be an all new ABS option which Kawasaki claims features the worlds smallest control unit that should boost the stopping capabilities of the dual disc braking system and a larger 140-size rear tire.  All of these goodies will be bolted to a newly redesigned frame that’s been beefed up for increased rigidity and rubber engine mounts to reduce vibration. Even with all of these improvements there will only a 4 pound increase in overall curb weight.

The instrument cluster appears to have been modernized from the antiquated three-analog-gauge layout to an analog tachometer and digital LCD display for everything else.  Along with a new floating mount windscreen similar to the ZX-10R, improved controls layout and flat out mean looking headlights the new Ninja 300R will really stand out from the competition on the street.

The Kawasaki Japan site lists the available color schemes for the upcoming 2013 models as Lime Green, Lime Green/Ebony (special edition), Ebony,  Ebony/Metallic Moondust Grey (special edition), Passion Red, Passion Red/Stardust White (special edition), and Pearl Stardust White.

As always, people will want add-ons to make make their new 300 Ninja fit their individual needs.  It looks like the new Ninja 300R 250R will come ready for direct bolt on frame sliders and of course many riders will want to add a rear seat cowl for solo riding. We carry a large selection of aftermarket accessories and OEM parts on our website www.buymotorcycleparts.com for you to make your motorcycle your own and to help keep it running right and on the road. From tank and tail bags to tank pads and everything in-between there are countless ways to create you own unique sport bike.

I always recommend a good training class like the Harley Davidson Rider’s Edge course that we offer here at Dillon Brothers for any beginner riders.  Proper protective gear like a good helmet, armored jacket, gloves and boots are also a must before you hit the road.

As we anxiously await the new models to hit the showroom floor it will interesting to watch the impact the new 2013 Ninja 300 250R has on the rest of the entry level sport bike market. I for one can’t wait for my first test ride to see how the new improvements enhance an already great motorcycle. I think 2013 should prove to be a very interesting year as the rest of the field scrambles to keep up with Kawasaki as they take the small, lightweight sport bike class to a whole new level.

Honda Big Red rules the side by side world: The Big Red One

“Whether it’s load capacity, towing power or even safety features, the Honda Big Red stands heads and shoulders above the rest of the pack.”

Honda Big Red Side by Side Utility MUV

Honda Big Red Utility Vehicle

Honda’s Big Red side by side or MUV as they call it is the ultimate multi-purpose utility vehicle on the market today. The Big Red has always been a leader in the utility vehicle category but they really outdid themselves starting with the 2011 models when they upgraded many important features. Whether it’s load capacity, towing power or even safety features, the Big Red stands heads and shoulders above the rest of the pack.

With the only automotive-style automatic transmission with hydraulic torque converter in the industry, and independent suspension on all four wheels the Honda Big Red rally stands out from it’s competitors. Safety also comes first with it’s automotive type three-point seat belts, balanced braking system that ensures front and rear braking even in the event that one brake line fails and roll over protection system that is certified to meet OSHA requirements.

Starting in 2011, Honda doubled the capacity of it’s rear dump bed to 1000 lbs and increased the tow capacity to an industry leading 1500 lbs.  Combine the independent double-wishbone suspension with variable-damping shock absorbers and 7.1 inches of travel in the rear and the only bed wide enough to carry a full size pallet and you have a work UTV like no other. The cargo bed features a convenient one handed release and hydraulic assist for easy dumping and a 2” receiver style hitch on the back makes hitching up a trailer for extra hauling capacity a breeze.

Beginner Motorcyclists Best Friend : Learn to Ride at Dillon Brothers Motorsports

speedshifter69 June 27, 2012 Dillon Brothers News, Honda Motorcycles, Kawasaki Motorcycles, maintenance, rider training, Yamaha Motorcycles 0

“Whatever kind of motorcycle you decide on we want you to know that we are here to answer any questions you may have.”

For beginning riders and those who want to learn to ride a motorcycle your local dealership is your best resource for information, equipment, parts and service, or even motorcycle class. No matter if you learn to ride on a small sport bike like the Kawasaki Ninja 250R or Honda CBR250, a beginner cruiser like the Yamaha V-Star 250, a Honda Rebel or even a scooter I’m sure you’ll have plenty of questions. Of course many others have no intention of ever hitting the streets as they purchase their first dirt bike. In this article I’ll try to highlight the most common concerns and needs of todays beginner riders.

“After students learn to ride a motorcycle  students who pass are given a Motorcycle Safety Foundation completion card”

Probably the most importing thing you can do after you decide on a new motorcycle is to take a good training class.  We offer a world class new rider course here at Dillon Brothers. After students learn to ride a motorcycle  those who pass are given a Motorcycle Safety Foundation completion card which allows you to go waive additional testing when you go to the DMV to get your motorcycle license.

Riders Edge Training Course

The second most importing thing after motorcycle training is getting the proper protective gear to keep you safe when you ride. We carry a comprehensive selection of helmets, armored jackets, gloves, boots, and off-road protective gear. I can tell you from experience how important it is to wear the proper gear when riding, whether you’re on a long distance ride or even a short trip the store.  Personally I believe in the AGAT or “all the gear, all the time” theory of motorcycle riding and have even had the unfortunate opportunity to prove the effectiveness of protective gear to some of my riding buddies.

“CONGRATULATIONS on your Pro License Chase!! Here’s to continued success in the future” 

To even qualify to compete in the championship in Las Vegas he had to finish in the top 4 in regional races. Having finishing 4th in the Expert event at the Southern regional and 2nd in Pro Sport at the Western regional he had earned a trip to Vegas to finally get a shot at getting his Pro license. Considering that most pro riders devote 100% of their time to riding and competing it’s even more impressive that Chase has achieved his life long dream while continuing to work full time as the parts manager for us here at Dillon Brothers.
