Honda CB300F vs Yamaha MT-03: Which is the Better Begginer Motorcycle?🤔 

Begginner Motorcycle Gear by GoGoober a.co/bM0QvLu

I got a cb300f about a year ago as my first bike (after taking the MSF). Found a leftover new one for $3,400 out-the-door. I discovered its top-speed limitations on about day 3 of riding, but it never gets old on the twisties. I take it on gravel and dirt far more than any street bike probably should, lol. Tons of fun on the cheap. Thanks for the vid!

I just got a 300f, it's a great bike, really fun and affordable

There's a nasty crankshaft recall on the 2015 and 2016 Honda CB300Fs (and CBR300Rs). I would avoid those years. In 2019 Honda replaced the CB300F with the CB300R (for roadster, not to be confused with the CBR300R which is the sport bike configuration). The newer CB300R has inverted forks, a round headlight, and more of a cafe look. IMO, it's better looking than the it's predecessor, but it's still very similar. I have had a 2017 CB300F ABS for 3 years now. It's a well balanced very fun bike, handles great on twisty back roads, It's got enough go, but doesn't have so much torque that it will try to kill you (or let you try to kill yourself ;-). That said, it has no trouble at all getting up to 70+ on a highway and its got a 200 mile range on a tank of gas which is nice. The only real cons to me were that I needed to add a $20 pair of mirror extenders to see behind me well and the seat gets to feeling a bit hard as you approach 2-hours in the saddle (but seriously, it's a 300cc bike that was $5K new out the door. It's not a tourer). Overall it's a good basic bike, not just a beginner bike. (Just avoid the crankshaft recall years.) My advice to anyone looking is to spend some real time sitting on any bike you're interested in. Get someone to hold the front forks so you can have both feet on the pegs in the riding position. Get the bike that feels most comfortable for your particular body / feels best to you / the one calls you. Hope you and your wife enjoy your rides. All the best.

YEWWWWW! I made the video 💪🔥

I own a 2019 cb1000r and a 2017 FZ-10. I’m in the market for a 300cc to turn into a stunt/off road/ hooligan bike. Just want something light and fun to mess around with.

I have CB 300f 2018 ...a fantastic bike with no problem ... tested both Yamaha and Honda ...love Honda all the way!!

The MT-03 is what I went with

Curious to hear your thoughts on the updated CB300R!

It's subjective but I prefer the styling of the MT 03 plus it's a twin over the CB single. I'm thinking about it because I want to downsize but comparing against the CB500F, still not sure which way to go but am leaning towards the CB.

Looking for a small bike after a lot of big bore stuff but the small physical size of these bikes puts me off as I’m 6’2” 😬 Normally I’d go for the Honda but still not convinced the motor in 300 form I’d completely solid…

I also don't like the red color. I have a 2016 Honda CB300F in all black. I really like it.

🤟

This guy on the cb: it’s not black. Me to the Mt: not a Honda. It’s ok to have your bias. Enjoy your ride, every ride is epic!!!

I was on a CB300F today (according to the VIN CBF300N). First through third gears were smooth. But I was having a hard time getting into fourth gear. Any suggestions? Do I need to get the RPMs up higher or something?

i don’t know if i should get the mt 03 it i feel like i’ll get bored and want a 650 cc, plus i heard it’s really small

nice one brother!

I wouldn't waste my time on this bike. I would go straight for the CB500f which is actually only a 471cc. It is plenty light enough for any beginner. My little 120 pound wife learned on it easily and you won't be needing to sell it and lose money any time soon because it can handle highway speeds with no problem.

Honda does make a CB300R which is more similar naked style.

Thinking about switching from cb300 too mt 03

I want the cb500f

HONDA FTW!

Which one is better for a short rider?

Honda CB300F looks childish to me. like a toy .Yamaha MT-03 looks way better . and faster

Once you riding Yamaha than you not going to like any other bike.

Mt 03 i'm wait
