Honda CB300R Ride REVIEW | CITY RIDES MADE DAMN EASY AND FUN | 2023 

Very much appreciate your words brother. Thank you for your kind comment! 🤝🤝🧡

Heyy thank you very much for your support.. I would say I am just a little familiar with roads in mumbai and depending on the area there might be potholes here and there or concrete roads alot? From suspension point of view, in stiffness Cb300r > Duke, I would suggest cb300r only for the sake of longevity, solo rides and FE. Cb300r Can feel very uncomfortable for pillion too. Rtr, I haven’t actually driven it yet! Speed can be a good choice if you ride often. It has moderate FE, beautiful suspension set up, 75000kms warranty from Bajaj can be fine for 5 year timeline. Speed does all things moderately good. But, I would suggest you to wait till July or August for REs Guerrilla 450. Teaser image is out already. It looks like a good competition for the current available bikes.

@@SammyOnWheels can u suggest me any other good bike which I missed under 3lac

Thank you so much broo🤝🤝

I think Same weight pillion would put both the bikes to stress equally. May be cb300r might not keep up till 100 but atleast till 80 I strongly think it can pull up faster than the speed 400. Once it crosses 80kmph mark thats where speed will start to takeover.

@@SammyOnWheels thank you very much for your point of view.. Wish you all success and more achievement.

Hey man! Thank you very much for your kind words. Appreciate it!

Absolutely! It is easy to ride and handle with great amount of fun. It has good amount of power so give a bit of time to understand it’s throttle behaviour and you should be good to go. Congratulations and Ride safe!

Headlight visibility is not good​@@SammyOnWheels

Thank you very much brother 🤝! I liked the red one. Black/Grey one has lot of grey elements to it. If it had been full black. Like dark one. That would’ve been my preferred choice!

@@SammyOnWheels Great, thanks for your input. 🙏

I’ve driven both of these bro, my personal pick is 300r for pure motorcycling fun. Breeze to ride!

Thank you bro !

@@abhishekmarriala7013 it’s true that Honda CB300R is a quick and fun little motorcycle but is not at all a comfortable bike as the suspension is really stiff and the seat is hard and uncomfortable. The 300F shares similar suspension but somehow I felt 300F is comfortable and purchased it. I dint want to spend 2-3K on a maintenance and also I majorly use for city purpose to which I felt 300F is more practical.

@@pegasusspree3577thanks bro for your views

​@@pegasusspree3577 it has 7 suspension settings. Is it the same stiffness in all 7 settings?

I personally prefer a red one bro but in India there isn’t a full black variant available. It’s like grey and black combo. Had it been full black, I sure would’ve preferred that.

My personal choice is 300r for it’s ease of use in city riding. But lacks in comfort a bit due to stiff suspension. Speed 400 has a good fit and finish, long service intervals, good ride quality too. Both are amazing to ride but take a test ride and see how they suit you.

CB300R wins in terms agility, peppy rides & refinement...

Cb300r is quite easy to ride and handle but it lacks touring comfort due to the stiffer suspension. They are both different motorcycles but if you are planning for tours, then scram 411 will be more comfortable than 300r.

pillion comfort not good in cb

Haven’t had the chance to ride the new duke 250 so cant comment about ride experience but if you prefer proper street naked, duke 250 will good looker but I liked the engine and p/w ratio of 300r. In 0-100 mark I think 300r will smoke the other but in longer distance 300r wont stand a chance with s400.

@@SammyOnWheels Then I would be waiting for your duke 250 hands on and comparison with the two

@@Rahul_varma I’ll try to bring that up soon brother. Thank you for your support 🙏🏼 😇

@@SammyOnWheels Haha... What are you talking about? I am the one here needing assistance with choosing my bike. Thanks for your support is what it should be lol

They have made it E20 compliant as well so I kind of feel that it may not be discontinued in the near future but possibility is there like after 2 years or so down the line as it isn’t a big seller.

@@SammyOnWheels between this and the Gixxer 250 naked which one will be a good buy for city use and occasional highway tours

@@KunalMukherjee3701 gixxer 250 is a great bike as well. Better power, brakes and exhaust. Very refined. But the reason I chose this is because there are 3 service centers near me and all of them have positive reviews. Suzuki service response is a bit hit and miss at someplaces. This is what I felt.

Agree with you about the pricing back then. In my view, since we both have 300F, I would say a real upgrade would be anything thats at least or close to double the HP. But if I have the chance to buy 300r, I am going for it because it is fun and looks different than the way 300F looks. 100kmph mark comes in easy. Fuel efficiency. But to answer your question, it is not a real upgrade is what I feel.

Thank you..

A real upgrade for us who owns 300f would be KTM 390. We know how quick the 300f pulls off from 0-60, it’s addictive and we get so used to it. Considering the quick acceleration, KTM 390 tops the list. The RE 650 is torque master but it’s not as aggressive and nimble like the 390.

Had gone to book is Sep 23 , was lucky to get the new updated one on 05th Nov , with the discounted price

Price is 2.7 lac

Should be just about right. A bit more taller than that might feel cramped a bit to move around. Do take a test ride though. I’ve seen a few riders of 5.9 - 5.11 riding it and it still looked pretty good.

my height is 5’10 have this bike since Aug 2023. Felt my little cramped after travelling 70 km non stop. There could be two reasons 1. was wearing sports shoes which has high soles. 2. was riding with pillion rider +1 or it could be some physical issue as i don’t exercise much. my friend is also 5’10 it feels smaller when riding with him. But this is the fun to ride vehicle if you ride alone. Good riding ergonomics. Being small bike it is more flickable and light. Engine ❤ is the best part of this bike.

Im the same height, I own a CB300R, the best bike in 300cc single segment.

Your legs will not fall flat but may be like half of both feet will touch the ground I guess. (Sometimes, it depends on inseam and weight as well bro).

Yess broo. A proper launch can easily get it to under 6 or even less than 5.8 I believe.
