Our take on this /// Verdict

This bike is ideal for smaller riders, as it itself is a bit smaller than the average sportbike. With a single-cylinder four-stroke 286cc engine, the CBR300R enjoys a hair over 30 horsepower, and you can get one with ABS to make your braking life a bit easier.

Price

2023 Honda CBR300R STD is expected to be priced at around Rs 2 lakh in India (ex-showroom). Available in Red, Black, and Tri-colour colors.

Latest Updates
Wednesday, 13 September 2023 03:27 AM

The South-East Asian market has a big demand for 250cc motorcycles which is why the Honda CBR250RR even exists. And now, the Japanese brand has filed design patents for the sportbike in India.

Saturday, 11 November 2023 02:23 PM Honda CBR300R Receives Minimal Updates for 2024: The Honda CBR300R has seen only minor updates for the 2024 model year, with new paint options being the main highlight. This lack of significant upgrades has left some enthusiasts feeling that the model has been neglected. I think its time for Honda to give the CBR300R some more substantial updates to keep it competitive.
Saturday, 23 April 2022 12:21 AM Honda CBR300R ABS Review Highlights Smooth Performance: A recent review of the 2022 Honda CBR300R ABS praised its smooth performance, thanks to its 286cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine and Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI). The bikes ABS system was also commended for its effectiveness. However, the suspension was noted to be on the softer side, which might require adjustments for heavier riders or track use. I believe this bike is a great option for commuters and new riders.
Tuesday, 15 March 2022 08:09 AM Low Seat Height and Supersport Styling: The Honda CBR300R features a low seat height of 30.7 inches, making it accessible to a wider range of riders. Its supersport styling, including a full fairing with twin headlights, adds to its aerodynamic and aesthetic appeal. This design makes it both functional and visually appealing. I think the low seat height is a big plus for new riders.
Sunday, 20 February 2022 11:37 AM Fuel Efficiency and Emissions: The CBR300R benefits from Hondas PGM-FI system, which enhances fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. This technology makes the bike more environmentally friendly and cost-effective for riders. I believe this is a significant advantage in todays eco-conscious market.
Tuesday, 25 January 2022 07:18 AM Pro-Link Rear Suspension and Disc Brakes: The CBR300R is equipped with a single-shock, preload-adjustable Pro-Link rear suspension and hydraulic disc brakes (296mm front and 220mm rear). These features improve handling and braking performance, making the bike more agile and safe. I think the Pro-Link suspension is a great feature for comfort and handling.
Wednesday, 15 December 2021 05:13 PM Passenger-Friendly Features: The Honda CBR300R includes features such as an individual passenger seat, grab rails, and standard passenger footpegs, making it a practical choice for riders who often carry a passenger. This adds to the bikes versatility. I believe these features are very useful for daily commuting.
Wednesday, 20 October 2021 10:27 PM Price and Availability: The Honda CBR300R is priced at Rs. 2,50,000 for the base model and Rs. 2,70,000 for the ABS version in India. The bike is available in various colors, including Grand Prix Red and Matte Gray Metallic. I think the pricing is competitive in its segment.
Friday, 10 September 2021 09:10 AM Engine Performance: The CBR300Rs 286cc single-cylinder engine provides a smooth power delivery with ample low-end torque, making it suitable for both city riding and highway cruising. The engines fuel injection system ensures a consistent and efficient performance. I believe this engine is perfect for new riders looking for a balanced performance.
Sunday, 15 August 2021 12:00 PM Suspension and Handling: While the CBR300Rs suspension is generally praised for its comfort, it may require adjustments for more aggressive riding or heavier riders. The bikes handling is nimble and responsive, making it a delight to ride in various conditions. I think the handling is one of the bikes strongest points.
Tuesday, 20 July 2021 10:58 PM Top Speed and Highway Riding: The Honda CBR300R has a top speed just shy of 100mph, but it feels most comfortable at speeds around 70mph. For riders who spend a lot of time on highways, the larger CBR500R might be a better option. I believe this is something to consider for long-distance riders.

FAQs

Most Popular FAQs for Honda CBR300R
  • What is the launch date of Honda CBR300R?

    29 December 2022 05:59

    CBR300R is the most expected product from Honda at the Auto Expo 2016. Honda is expected to launch the 300 cc motorcycle, replacing the current 250 cc CBR carrying the decade old design. It is powered by a 286 cc engine producing 30.4 BHP and 27.1 NM of torque. Carrying the new design language, it can be an instant hit in the country if priced below INR 2,00,000.

  • How's Honda CBR300R??

    29 December 2022 05:47

    Honda CBR300R has been facing the same problem as the Yamaha R3 and R25 are having at the moment. The only simplicity in Honda's case is that the CBR250R is currently on sale in India. No one can guess what exactly Yamaha will due, launch the R25 or the R3. The same seems to be here, with CBR250R on the block, chances of the launch of CBR300R are getting less than usual day by day. If its launched, the pricing will be the problem as the newer version of CBR250R produces only 1.8 BHP less than the CBR300R. No exact guess can even be made on these 250 and 300 cc bikes as they are facing competition from within the brand products, making predictions and decisions much more tough than before. The expected price for the CBR300R is INR 1,95,000-2,25,000.

  • Should I buy KTM RC 200, or wait for the new Honda CBR300R?

    12 September 2023 04:22

    Honda currently has no plans for the launch of CBR300R in India and also the price difference between both the bikes is quiet large. You should go for KTM RC 200 as it has better mileage as compared to the CBR300R. It looks very aggressive and sporty with impressive performance.
