Are the Honda CBR300R and Yamaha R3/R25 really going to be released in india?
18 April 2025 03:00The Honda CBR300R is confirmed to be launched in India in 2025, as announced in recent updates, which will mark its entry into the Indian market to compete in the premium sports bike segment. As for the Yamaha R3 and R25, the 2025 Yamaha R3 is expected to be launched in India later this year. The R3 has been updated with new styling, colour options, and features such as all-LED lighting and a multi-function LCD instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity. However, the Yamaha R25 is unlikely to be introduced in the Indian market, as Yamaha already sells the R3 in India and the R25 does not fit into their current market strategy. The 2025 Yamaha R3, priced approximately at ? 3.80 lakh in Japan, will likely retain its 321cc parallel-twin engine producing 41.4 bhp and 29.5 Nm of torque, and will compete with bikes like the KTM RC 390 and Kawasaki Ninja 400 in the Indian market.

How's Honda CBR300R??
02 January 2023 06:22Honda 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.
