I see the x300 competing more against the CB500X and other more street oriented adventure styled bikes.
I think Kawasaki is having great success putting the ninja engine in a cruiser that the figured why not try it with an adventure bike.

I think you're referring to the Vulcan? that's the Ninja 650 mill which is a really nice twin. It's also in the Versys and people
love that bike.
It's interesting that you mention the Honda 500 series. I rode the CBR500R and it's a seriously well made bike, but for an entry level sport standard (like the Ninja 300) the engine was just a bit too well-mannered. The CB500 and 500X however, are absolutely brilliant, and I have a little buyer's remorse I didn't get the former as It's a really good commuter, and those same easy manners on the engine work really well.
