Honda CB300F DLX Pro Detailed Review 

For sales and test ride : Honda BigWing Bengaluru East , goo.gl/maps/AbtsgAzasT2ZnLoU9

I got this at 2.05 lakh. For that cost, I felt it's better than ronin, fz25 and the hunter. Yes, you won't have eyes staring curiously at traffic signals but it's a brilliant machine. As strell said, headlight is horrible. But I was told the throw angle can be adjusted. And the bike is really tractable in the city. Higher gears low speeds and lower rpm is never a problem.. Haven't tested it on the highways yet

A dependable machine from Honda that's underrated. I have enjoyed 2000+ km in 2 months including fair amount of off-road and city traffic.

I got this bike in January. I had previously booked cb 200x but the stock was not available & I had to wait for almost 2 months. Meanwhile honda declared massive discount on this bike. CB 200x on road price was 1.75 lacs & I got CB 300f for 2.03 lacs in bhilai, chhattisgarh. So, just by paying 30k extra I got the upgraded bike which I think is a great deal. Also, before first service during break-in period I got maximum mileage of 42 Kmpl & currently getting between 35-40 kmpl in all conditions. The engine was pretty vibey in the beginning but I feel it is slowly getting smoother in operation over the time.

I own a CB300F, Making all sorts of useful videos related to necessary modifications and maintenance videos on my channel. I was sort of disappointed after watching strells video. then I took the test ride and found that the vibes are manageable, the vibes are mainly from the tank cover which is very thin. Honda is always bad in plastc quality. I got gel seal and grip cushions which eliminated the vibrations from grips and seats. I made the pillion seat wider and comfortable for my wife. Aux lights solved the lighting issue. and lots of useful mods done till date. Also use of XP95 petrol reduced the vibrations from the engine by a significant mergin. So yeah, it's a great bike with some minor modifications!!

I follow few channels for bike reviews and your channel is one of them. To the point and honest reviews. Well done and keep going. 😊👍🏼

I own a CB300F, I have never crossed 6K rpm and I have never felt any irritating vibes. Actually you need to understand the characteristics of the engine. It get maximum torque at 5.5K rpm. As per my knowledge torque is related to acceleration, shift at 6k rpm you will get pretty fast acceleration and at 6th gear you can comfortably cruise around 100Kmph. This is a very good city riding as well as a touring motorcycle. Certain things required for touring as I felt is the handle bar riser for a more upright sitting, seat cushioning and a front visor. It has a pretty good weight to power ratio and weight to torque ratio.

Finally the review drops been waiting a long time for this.

Can you fit centre stand in this bike, can't we expect high rpm vibrations to lessen after few thousand kms, what engine oil is being presently used in this bike, mineral, semisynthetic or fully synthetic.

@imstrell Are the engine characteristics of Honda CB300F similar to the Yamaha FZ25 ? If not what are the basic differences ?

# I have a video IDEA for you: Make videos dedicated to each brand and talk about the entire line-up. The video should be focused on one brand - something like "Which XYZ bike you should buy". This will help customers who have inclination towards a particular company to select their bike. For eg, I love Honda bikes, but I am confused about the line-up especially in 200-300 cc segment. Additionally, you can talk about options from other brands, and make another video of that brand. If you are talking about Hornet 2.0, we have RTR 200 as an alternative. If it is about 200X, then VStorm is an alternative.

Before my first ride my kms was 70 only. And after 250 km with pillion between 70-80kmph I got 43 kmpl mileage before first service. But I was feeling vibration on bottom side of tank even at 70-80speed

Im glad you reviewed this bike this would be a great bike if honda could getvthr pricing right

Exact. To the point. Best review so far. Keep up bro.

what should i pick Hornet 2.0 OR CB300F ? Please help, need to purchase in next 7 days.

Honda CB150 R x motion അടുത്ത് ലോഞ്ച് ചെയ്യാൻ സാധ്യത ഉണ്ടോ ?

Is this Honda 300F Or Gixxer 250 best for city commute... Plz advise

Strell bro kore nalathe oru request ane dominar 400 the latest touring edition stock vandi kittuvanel onn review cheyyo

Thank you! I was waiting for you to review this motorcycle. I've bought this at 2.06L in Thane which was a terrific deal. It has ample power for a newbie like me who mainly rides within the city. Very easy to ride as well.

Any possibilities of Adventure /Tourer version on lines of Honda 200X?

hey strell nice video, could you do review of the mt 15 dual channel abs & tcs verison please!

does it seem slower and less powerful than the gixxer 250 naked?

Your video has so much quality . Wow❤❤💯

Which would be a better bike between Honda CB300F and Suzuki Gixxer 250 considering now they both are available at almost similar on-road price range. I am looking for city as well as long ride (600KM+ per day) - 40% city and 60% Highway rides)

I moved from hornet 160 to this.. Headlight is better thn that. only issue was low beam, it was too elevated that high beam was not effecting anything on the road. After adjusting it everything worked fine. Second I needed adjustment in gear paddle. it was high. I will say adding handle bar riser will give you ADV posture like Triumph Tiger

How is it compared to gixxer 250 or dominar 250

I am riding 100cc bike want to upgrade to 200cc Which one is better and vfm N250 OR CB300F

Is the offer available of the price cut of 65k ?

Is it possible for a bike to cruise at a speed of 120 kmph on Indian highways?

Hi Strell Guy! This bike is good for long ride?

Bro suggest one brand and bike name I want to buy best bike ...around 2L

Does anyone have info on bs6 phase 2 launch or refresh of this motorcycle

Waiting for continental and interceptor 650 2023 ride reviews

Sir, Thanks very much for the genuine review, please advise me, I am very much interested in riding and crushing with bikes, I am already having RR310 for highway with top speed ride, for city commute as you it’s not very convenient, so I got FZS V3 and disappointed with its performance, so I am looking to sell and buy another with power and torque for city commute, I had this CB300R in mind as you said non Honda things about engine vibe I am little disappointed, so please suggest is there any other options for this bike for best city commute, thanks in advance 🙏🏻

It was close to the end-limit of 4th gear at 103 km/h. It is the speed at which Suzuki’s 250cc engines (like v-strom 250) exit 3rd gear. Nor it is a heavy cruiser with low-end grunt. Why did Honda make this bike?

Is there possibilities to launch cb300x by honda ??

Can you give us a review on newer version of Versys 650 in the future.

I was really hoping U would review it.I upgraded from 125cc to this Motorcycle. U know it feels very easy to ride because of the weight. I didn't even knew that I was going 75kmph in the city till I saw the speedo.

Please give an update regarding the launch of the cb500x

How the head light tgrough is ?

I brought dlx pro red variant. Post 1st the bike service it got smoother and most vibration is gone now. They have changed the normal oil to synthetic. The ride is good in city and bought it 2.06 (effective price 1.50 since i sold my old bike). I think this is best value for money . However this bike is not perfect, i don’t think no one made a perfect machine so happy with it

Suzuki gsxr Indian launch any expectations

You Are mostly spot on withe review as its not a new engine its just an over bored Honda CB 250F sold in South America market though the CB 250F has higher top speed. Being an owner Of Cb 300f Pros: Torque, Stability, Agility, at low and higher speeds, TCS, Simple reliable no nonsense engine. Cons: Poor braking, Vibrations @ high rpm above 6.5k mostly evident, poor top end, Hard suspension, poor stock headlights.

Cb 300f stock available in Bangalore?

What is the current on-road price of this bike ?

I have consistently found your reviews to be bloody accurate. Had a test ride today of this bike and I really don't liked this bike. Vibrations starts just at 5k rpm and whole body resonates with the same.

It's the brilliance of Honda engineering that despite being a short stroke engine the peak torque comes at 6000 rpm. It's so early. Impressive.

What's the point of upgrading from 150 to 300 if it feels like a 150 even on highways 😂 this is on of the worst bikes honda has produced in India and then they think why no one is buying Hondas anymore 🤦‍♂️

G310 or this bike which is best

I hv been riding this from the last two months . Agreed with you regarding the engine vibration, which is quite surprising from the honda point of view .

Thanks for the video

How many mileage provide this bike

I don't know why Honda named it the CB300f.. in reality its a Twister 300 and should have revived the Twister nameplate in India.

Please review the N250 dual abs after this, earnest request!

hey, waiting for interceptor 650 2023 review from you.

A road touring version of this maybe a good idea. A CB300X of sorts, just like how CB200X is to the Hornet 2.0

would you suggest this for a beginner? I have always ridden gearless scooters since traffic, but now want to start on geared ones. Can I start with this one?

This bike misses out gear shift indicator or limiter light

How are the vibrations when compared to mt15, which can similarly cruise around 90 kmph+ as well. Looking for a Japanese bike for solo touring, confused between mt15 and 300f

Good thing is that Torque to Power ratio > 1 We can expect higher mileage than other counterparts (but not with hness 350).

Hornet 2.0 vs cb300f?

Just a question bro, given you had to pick between this and gixxer sf 250, which one would you pick ..which is better in terms of fun, pickup and handling?

Which one is better CB300F or Gixxer 250, because now CB300F is sold for 2lk and gixxer for 2.20lk, so ehich one would be a better pick among these??

Can you please do the Ninja 400 review?

Now I've a classic 350. Shall I move to this bike. It's is suitable for me. What's your choice or suggestions for me. Because classic 350 has more vibration and no top speed on the bike. kindly help me with that... please

"It looks like a bigger hornet 2.0", i see that as a compliment cuz hornet 2.0 is a LOOKER.

what will be better to get 300f or 300r ? for overall usage on city and small time in highway?

We need apache rtr 310 review from you!

Ab is bike meri first priority hain 1.92lakh main Maine last month kharid liya. Look se is bike uniq hain dikhne main sab nahi lagta hain 300 cc hain lekin power op. Under 2 lakh main iske comparison main ek bhi bike nahi hain 300cc. ,To best bike hain

The only gripes i had when i took if for a test ride was the stiff suspension. Good for handling, yes, but i guess i wont like it since id be taking it everywhere, not just paved roads. So sad. Its perfect in all other aspects, especially considering the new revised prices. If 140-70-17 rear tire would solve the initial stiffness, might consider it.

I am having gear shifting issue and the false neutral is just freaking me out. If anyone is facing the same issue do let me know

I wanted to buy this as an upgrade from fz v3. But chose not to even with the 61k discount they offered. First reason, the bigwing guys only let me take a test drive for like 300 meters and asked to return (lame). It's strange, but all the time I felt like there was something wrong with this bike (maybe paranoia kicking in? LOL). I knowingly went on higher revs even when the showroom guy was asking me to change gear...and felt vibrations everywhere after around 6k rpm. So I thought the 61k discount does not make the bike better and said no. 95kmph cruising speed is a bummer. I do 90 kmph all day on the underpowered fz v3 on my tours (have done 6xx kms per day on the little bike. Crazy right?). So yeah, even if on paper it was an upgrade, while riding it, I didn't feel that. Yeah the torque was better but I shouldn't have to justify the comparison with a 149cc bike. Before I never saw one on the road even after 7 months since release, but hoping to see more as a lot of people jumped on it due to discount (people will buy anything if the discount is big enough). This bike has good looks, so roads will definitely look better with more of these on. Joking aside, superrrrr video as always dude!!

Make a video on cb350rs latest model

It's a great package,but poor service reach and parts availablity will become an ownership headache.

How does it score over the Gixxer 250 ? (Other than cc and Torque)

Honda CBR 250R and Highness are the best in this 200-350 segment. Others look and feel like normal commuter

For 2.25 Onroad this is good deal.. But if they come up with CB300X and priced it 1.85 L (Ex-Show) that could be a good bike to purchase

Broiii ❤️

N250 latest model review Please please

Vibration you can’t see, but can feel. 😂

Before buying this, one has to question why has Honda reduced its prices. Kuch to gadbad hai

Own this beast since 2 months now. ❤❤

Can anyone tell at what RPM does the engine revs at 100 kmph???

❤

❤❤❤❤

Vibrations are on par with dukes n dominars or more ??

Please review Kawasaki W175

I rejected this bike on engine refinement and comfort related to it thing only and have preferred Suzuki Vstrom 250 over it even then there was a discount of Rs 50000 on onroad price.

Honda should bring CBR300r back with engine of cb300r.

Hornet is a design language, so honestly, complaining that it resembles a 200cc motorcycle may not be correct. However this bike is not a premium bike nor does it feel that way , even simple things like the keys of the bike , for eg the highness key looks so premium, this looks like a cycle key.

The design looks like the Hornet, and I do not care even if it's called the Hornet 300. I like the bike's low grunt torque.

I got it for 1.73 lakhs with BH number it's a steal at this price way more powerful than mt15 and also it's as nimble as the mt

The best part is ksrtc bus is going faster than bike

I have purchased one on 31/03/2023 with a discount of Rs 64,000/- thereby costing me around 2,05,000/- on road which also includes extended warranty for the engine. I was sceptic about the mileage and performance as the engine was new and that its power was just 24.1 bhp and 25.6 nm of torque against the 293 cc, though its sharp, sculpted racing looks were appealing. However, I found its 4 valve engine powerful enough as its power to weight ratio was awesome with its kerb weight of just 153 kgs. It is a bliss to drive in city as it is nimble and agile with nice ground clearance and a small turning radius and ofcourse it is fully loaded with features like USD fork, dual channel ABS, radial tyres, traction control, slipper clutch, full LED setup with hazard lights, digital display with BT connectivity, gear position indicator, distance to empty, real time mileage, side stand auto cut off, charging port and ofcourse glide though technology (bike moves with out giving acceleration when clutch is released). I joined a couple of my friends with their RE Himalayan on highways and some intermittent villages for a day trip of 300 kms with a few places of halts. It was before the 1 st service and hence kept it between 70 and 80 kmph. I was surprised to get around 43-44 kmpl. Though the suspensions were a bit on a tougher side, I never felt fatigue or a sore arm. Later, I checked in the city and found it to give about 32 kmpl which is too good. I had its first service done after 500 kms at the Bigwing (for premium bikes) and was charged Rs.2,000/- which included the replacement of engine oil, oil filter, O ring and also chain lubrication. Now I am getting around 33-34 kmpl in city and have to take it for long distances to see how much it is going to give now? Just waiting for the summer to end... :) For now I am feeling great with the bike and its service, have to see in the long run...but again Honda is renowned for its engine life and service.

Fz25 nd honda cb300f drag.....

This is only 192k in Assam right now.

Top speed anyone??

An american described the CB330F as the grown-up version of the Honda CMX125/Grom. I

1000th like 😅

Wow 😂such a tiny speedo meter (honda is so kind that it gave an speedo meter for customers :)🙃🙃
