Is it a Kawasaki J300 or an SC300?

[Mold]

Hello, I have a Kawasaki J300 and I keep seeing SC300 on posts for the the Kawasaki J300! Can someone explain why? Is it the same engine because I've heard it's basically the same engine as a Kymko 300. Thanks.

Hi welcome.

Probably is my answer not knowing the bike. A lot of things are badged differently for different countries.

Nick is correct.

 

J300 model name is the Japanese region from the manufacturer. 

sc300 (scooter300) model name is for other regions but is the same bike, many reasons as to why but aslong as you know they are the same.

 

in some areas ,Japan will have one model or name, then Europe (even some other regions within of a said area) could have another and finally American can have a third name all for the same vehicle. Doesnt matter if it’s car, bikes, vans, water boats they all do it.

Honda (fireblade firestorm etc , Kawasaki (gtr=consissor in the USA), Yamaha (Yzf, thunder cat 600cc, thunder ace 1000cc), Suzuki (gsf=bandit uk) all have done it at one point.
