You got a point there with CB300x . They should have launched it with adventure/Sport Tourer avataar. Although I think what Honda may thought that they could capture average 150cc user looking for an "upgrade in power displacement without having to change riding style "so more power in same package as their convenient hornet style package. People do not like changes so Honda got that right. But I don't know why they overlooked the scenario of market. FZ25 is great machine and was launched on similar grounds ,failed. Gixxer 250 again great bike,failed. But Retro styled RE Clasic or CB250 highness or Jawa or Himalayan is pulling great numbers. Why? My take would be reason is simple. People who want to upgrade,who are spending 2.5L on motorcycle would want something different than normal 150cc segment. They want it look different,feel different. Hence FZ16 worked but FZ25 couldn't and same for Gixxer 250.

I love this review.. I find the reviews from India to be so much more thorough and comprehensive; than most of the ones in my home country of the United States of America. Thank you and happy trails friend.

@ChethanSrinivas Год назад

Spot on comment, the numbers suggest it's cb300x rather than this f. It's a daily bike for weekend rides on the twisties. Touring meh I guess, with no proper mid to top end. Honda already has cb350, so they cant price near to that, so they priced with 25k extra, which I feel is similar in performance for an average commuter. Looking at the figures surely it's a city bike and an occasional highway bike. To give honda the benifit it could have been around 2.1lac or undercut the cb350. For the 300x if you launch 10-15 k extra it'll be pointless. It's having good features, but somehow, cb350, vstrom 250 make better options. Although I need to ride it to think about this. In any case if D400's weight and over the top fugly design was not the case it would have been a master class. In the end if if choose it, I'll blame Honda! 😅

@AmanKhan-sq5hx Год назад

@@anshulsingraul6639 i gues you don't understand English that well. So let me explain it to you again. What I said was cb300f looks quite like hornet 2.0. To that you said that pulsar and ktm have bikes which looks same and my reply to that was that is bcuz bikes of pulsar and ktm which looks same are new iterations of the same old gen bike. But cb300f and hornet are two different bikes from same manufacturer. They shouldn't look same. I hope you understand now. If not I will try again in Hindi 😄

@sniperkyle6152 Год назад

@@AmanKhan-sq5hx To that, I would like to point that they are Not "completely" different bikes from the same manufacturer. Hornet 2.0 was inspired from CB190F for Indian Market with some slight cosmetic changes but same engine and everything. This bike is literally named CB300F which is sold in international market as CB F series bikes of Honda. How are people confused about a bike (which is not even named different) not being a completely new machine from Honda. Yes, they have made some changes like the engine and the numerous features (bluetooth, Dual Channel ABS etc) which people were crying about in Hornet 2.0 while comparing with TVS Apache and Bajaj Pulsars. So, yeah it looks similar to Hornet 2.0 because IT SHOULD, the same way it looks similar to CB 500F because IT SHOULD as it's the same series.

Should have been named CB300FU. Since that's what they seem to be telling the Indian market.

During my limited city test drive, it touched 85 effortlessly and could sustain it very easily. So 100 should be easily doable. I also like its stance and ground clearance

Hii sir.... I'm planning to buy a new bike....I have 2 bikes in my mind... I'm majorly confused between which one choose...Suzuki v-strom SX 250 or the Honda cb300f... Can u please suggest me the one best bike Between these two.....??

@midhungopan9270 Год назад

Book a test drive bro....i had driven both of them, i disagree with the overdrive review about the engine refinement....this CB300F engine is super viby from 1st gear,which is very surprising to me since my own bike is a hornet 160 which is very good on refinement....and talking about V strom 250 the seats are remarkably good for touring and noticabley more refined and powerful than cb300f,but the suspension is on the stiffer side just like the gixxer siblings (good for straight line and cornering though).....if i was you i'll go with the v strom

If one has to ride in city without too many gear changes one can go for TVS ronin, the most easy and fun to ride in city, if one needs a street fighter to ride in city and little bit on highways with a talking engine one can go for fz25, why to spend 75 to 90000 rupees extra and for what hornet 300, and if one has around 3 lakhs of rupees why not he will go for dominar 400 KTM 250 vstrom 250,

@@rv6569 Bhai, aap bhi sirf power hi dekh rahe ho, agar top speed zyada matter karti hai aapke liye, toh power dekho, warna koi dikkat nahi, cb300f is initial acceleration beast. 🔥 Top speed atleat 145 toh easily touch kar legi (achhi hai top speed bhi, itni bhi kam nahi hai) Lekin, Torque toh best in segment hai na bro. Bhai, Power kam hone se, top speed thoda sa kam rehta hai, 🙂 But, Torque kam rahega toh initial acceleration slow hoga bike ka. But, cb300F torque bahut accha hai. Streetfighter category bikes mein power se zyada torque matter karta hai , "Torque @ lower rpm" zyada matter karega. 🤨 CB300-F ka Torque gixxer se zyada hai, isi wajah se cb300F initially bahut quick accelerate karegi, jabki duke 250 or gixxer 250 slow hai cb300F ke comparison mein. Top speed mein gixxer aur duke 250 jeet jaegi. Gixxer aur duke 250 dono hi city aur highway dono jagah ke liye tuned hain, jabki cb300F only tuned for city/street racing. City race mein 100 ki speed kabhi nahi touch karoge.
