If you aren't entirely sold on the Honda CB300F, you're spoilt with several choices!

Honda recently launched the new CB300F in India and priced it at a premium when compared with its direct rivals, all of which retail under Rs 2 lakh (ex-showroom). This Japanese streetfighter comes in at Rs 2,25,900 for the Deluxe variant, while the Deluxe Pro variant is priced at Rs 2,28,900 (both ex-showroom Delhi), and here are five options that you could look at which cost around the same:

KTM 250 Duke - Rs 2,37,222

While the KTM 250 Duke is positioned in the same segment as the Honda CB300F, the Austrian streetfighter offers much superior performance. It is powered by a 248cc single-cylinder mill, churning out 30PS and 24Nm. At just Rs 8,322 more than its Japanese counterpart, you do get a proven streetfighter for this premium, which is a good bargain.

KTM RC 200 - Rs 2,14,688

The KTM RC 200 provides an authentic supersport experience that no motorcycle in its price range can match. Priced a whole Rs 11,212 lower than the Honda CB300F, this bike is powered by a 199.5 single cylinder engine developing 25.8PS and 19.5Nm, slightly more powerful than the CB300F. Considering the focused ergonomics, premium underpinnings and the performance this bike offers, that too for a lower asking price, it is a good alternative to the new Japanese streetfighter, especially for those who want to learn the nuances of sport riding.

Royal Enfield Himalayan - Rs 2,14,519

For those who prefer taking the path less travelled, look no further than the Royal Enfield Himalayan. This bike has been around for over half a decade and has the capability of mastering any terrain with ease, thanks to its long-travel suspension, larger front spoke wheel, excellent chassis and a torquey single-cylinder heart. Priced Rs 11,381 lower than the Honda CB300F, it is a worthy option to consider for ADV enthusiasts.

Bajaj Dominar 400 - Rs 2,23,538

If you’re looking for a motorcycle capable of powering through long tours at high speeds comfortably, well, the Bajaj Dominar 400 is the perfect fit. Powered by a 373cc, single-cylinder engine producing a healthy 40PS and 30Nm, this bike is priced Rs 2,362 lower than the Honda CB300F, which makes the Bajaj flagship a great value for money proposition.

Yezdi Roadster - Rs 2,07,900

Last, but definitely not the least, comes the Yezdi Roadster. Priced a whopping Rs 18,000 lower than the Honda CB300F, this bike is powered by a 334cc single-cylinder motor that churns out 29.7PS and 29Nm. This neo-retro bike is flickable, designed to effortlessly munch miles, and is a good option to consider for enthusiasts who are looking for a motorcycle that can do both weekend tours and office commutes.
