Expert's Opinion on CB300R

Overview

An underrated contender
An underrated contender
  • The Honda CB300R is a neo-retro styled naked motorcycle which does not make much power on the paper but there’s more than what meets the eye
  • It is priced a bit on the higher side but has good finish levels

Design

Oldschool meets new
Oldschool meets new
  • The bike grabs attention wherever it goes and is a rare sight
  • It gets a modern neo-retro style with some old school touches here and there
  • The fit and finish levels are quite good and are better than most of its competitors
  • The motorcycle is quite compact in size and lacks the big bike feel for a 300cc motorcycle

Performance & Mileage

Smooth… like a Honda
Smooth… like a Honda
  • The performance is pretty quick as it accelerates from 0-60kmph in just 2.94 seconds and does the 0-100kmph sprint in 7.34 seconds
  • Pulls nicely from city speeds up to 130kmph
  • Engine is smooth and refined which is what you expect from a Honda
  • Efficiency is pretty good as well as it returned 39.84kmpl in the city and 37.92kmpl on the highway
  • You do feel a tingle on the footpegs at around 6,000rpm
  • A 10-litre fuel tank means you get a smaller range and frequent visits to the petrol station
  • Outright performance is not quite good as its competitors

Handling

Turns on a dime!
Turns on a dime!
  • The CB300R is light on its feet and due to its short wheelbase and lightweight nature which allows it to handle the corners well
  • The stiff suspension allows the bike to hold the line pretty well on highways and well as during cornering
  • The tyres on the Honda could have been better and do not offer adequate grip for aggressive cornering

Ride Quality

European in nature
European in nature
  • The stiff suspension feels settled on highway speeds
  • The stiff suspension is pretty unsettling at slow speeds on Indian roads and the rear kicks back even at its softest preload setting
  • The pillion seat is pretty small and will feel painful over longer distances

Comfort & Storage

Feels at home
Feels at home
  • The riding posture is pretty comfortable with an upright stance and rear-set footpegs which allows for spirited riding
  • The compact nature and low seat height allows for shorter riders to easily maneuver the bike in the parking lot
  • The motorcycle is pretty comfortable for a single rider but not for riding with a pillion
  • The motorcycle is quite compact in size which will feel cramped for larger sized as well as taller riders

Features

Does the job
Does the job
  • The full LCD screen has enough information and is easy to read while riding the motorcycle
  • The LED lights offer good illumination on unlit roads
  • The LCD console misses out on a gear-position indicator which is quite essential at this level
  • No connectivity options whatsoever

Verdict

Should you buy the Honda CB300R?
Should you buy the Honda CB300R?
  • The Honda CB300R gets a great neo-retro design and appeals more to the mature audience
  • But if you want a more sporty and aggressive motorcycle, you would be better off with the KTM 250 Duke
  • The trump card which the CB300R has is the reliability which comes with the Honda badge

Key Things to Know about CB300R

Upside
  • Easy to live with and reliable, Attractive design, Not exorbitantly priced
Downside
  • Not the smoothest of Hondas, Poor pillion comfort

It's a very good bike

But it needs chain maintenance regularly or it will cost you a lot its shockers can't handle weight more than 230 kgs with pillion and parts are too expensive like headlight and rear monoshock

Butter smooth

It's a beautiful red machine. It's rare. Where ever I go, people stop and ask about it. Best thing is it light nimble and just small enough in size. Clearly can be confused with a 125 or 150cc. But with 286cc packed in at 147kgs, this one is truly a pocket rocket
