Kawasaki has rolled out a pre-festive sweetener for the Kawasaki Versys-X 300: an offer of up to a Rs. 25,000 cashback valid across September 2025. The move is part of a wider discount push this month and arrives as buyers weigh potential price changes under the revised GST structure, which may increase prices for motorcycles above 350cc but could potentially lead to a price drop for bikes like the Versys-X 300 in the future. Why it matters: for riders eyeing a twin-cylinder ADV at the entry end, this offer trims the upfront hit without changing the motorcycle’s core proposition.

Kawasaki Versys-X 300 price in India

The Versys-X 300 remains listed at roughly Rs. 3.80 lakh (ex-showroom), with several dealer quotes showing Rs. 3,79,900 as the reference price. The cashback is applied at the dealership level against the ex-showroom amount, so insurance and registration still calculate on the original sticker. It’s a limited-window nudge, not a list-price revision.

What is the new Rs. 25,000 offer?

The offer is structured as a purchase-side benefit, distinct from a permanent list-price reduction. The cashback is applicable through September 2025 or while stocks last and is structured to reduce the amount paid against the ex-showroom figure at the time of billing. Exact mechanics can vary by dealer, so terms and availability are worth confirming before booking.

Engine and performance specifications

The Versys-X 300 runs a 296 cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin with a 6-speed gearbox and an assist-and-slipper clutch. Output is a claimed 40 PS and 26 Nm, giving the bike its smooth, rev-happy character that sets it apart from single-cylinder rivals. With a 17-litre tank and real-world economy in the mid-20s km/l, range is a strong suit for light touring.

Design and features overview

Built on a high-tensile backbone frame, the bike keeps the upright stance, tall windscreen and a big 17-litre tank that riders expect from an entry ADV. Equipment stays simple and purposeful: a part-digital, part-analogue cluster with an Economical Riding Indicator, dual-channel ABS, and the assist-and-slipper clutch for easier downshifts. For 2025, refreshed graphics and a blue-and-white paint option join the familiar Candy Lime Green/Metallic Flat Spark Black.

How does the Versys-X 300 compare to rivals?

The KTM 390 Adventure undercuts it slightly and packs in more features, but the Kawasaki counters with twin-cylinder smoothness and long-haul manners. The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is more affordable still, though it brings a different, torquier single-cylinder feel. The cashback narrows the gap this month and makes the Versys-X 300 easier to justify for riders prioritizing refinement over spec-sheet fireworks.

Is this a good time to buy the Versys-X 300?

If a twin-cylinder ADV under 350 cc is already on the shortlist, this is a practical window to move. The limited-time Rs. 25,000 benefit eases entry without waiting on uncertain list-price changes, and the bike’s core strengths – friendly ergonomics, smooth engine, and useful range – remain intact. As always, check dealer-level terms, color availability, and delivery timelines before committing.

Closing note

A straightforward offer, a familiar package, and a little more value where it counts – this month’s cashback makes the Versys-X 300 a stronger contender for riders stepping into touring without the learning curve.
