KAWASAKIZ300 Performance 2016 - Present

　　In 2016, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Z300 Performance, a motorcycle based on the Z300 that shared its engine and came with an optional Anti-Lock Braking System.

　　The Kawasaki Z300 was a standard presented at the 2014 Milan Motorcycle Show as a motorcycle part of the Z series for the 2015 model year. The motorcycle was manufactured by Kawasaki from 2015 until 2018 when it was replaced by the Kawasaki Z400.

　　It was available in Asia, Australia, Europe, and South America and was designed and marketed as a streetfighter version of the Kawasaki Ninja 300. In addition, the bike was made under the ER300 code name.

　　The 2016 Z300 Performance had standard features, such as a small front cowl, a semi-full fairing with parts of the engine left in plain sight, a two-piece dual seat, a single exhaust system with a muffler mounted on the right side, and lightweight wheels.

　　The bike's skeleton was a tube diamond steel chassis with a 37 mm telescopic fork on the front and a bottom-link uni-trak gas-charged preload-adjustable shock absorber on the rear, handling the bike's suspensions.

　　The 2016 Kawasaki Z300 Performance had its heartbeat set by a 296cc four-stroke liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 39 hp with a peak force at 11,000 rpm and 27 Nm (20 lb-ft) torque at 10,000 rpm.
