Kawasaki J300, The Company’s First Maxi Scooter, To Be Unveiled At The EICMA

Thanks to Kawasaki’s European R&D, the J300 has been restyled to meet the expectations of the European market.
Kawasaki has confirmed that the J300 scooter will sit on a dual cradle chassis, sporting 120/80 14″ tyres at the front and 150/70 13″ tyres at the rear. Disc brakes will be fitted to both, front and rear wheels.

Telescopic forks at the front and 5-way adjustable rear shocks make up the J300’s suspension. Halogen headlights with dual beam functionality, under seat storage with illumination and a 12v charging port are the other features.

The Kawasaki J300 is powered by a 0.3L four-stroke engine which is expected with similar levels of performance found in the Kymco Downtown J300i – 22bhp with a top speed of 140kph. The scooter will appear in the European markets by the end of the year and will ideally suit city commuters and long distance tourers.
