CB300F - flies like falcon, feels like butter
Honda CB300F is best bike in this 2 lac price segment. It is light weighted and stylish look with better fuel efficiency and power. It has very good performance in city rides and too smooth. The only drawback i found absence of drive modes otherwise it's the best bike in case of power, mileage, performance and comfort.

Decent bike
Overall a good bike, good for city rides, not so refined engine like we are used to in Honda, cruising speeds around 100-120 sweet spot, mileage up to 30-35, maintenance as a Honda is on cheaper side, the best thing about this bike is the pricing and offers on this bike, can get at a good deal, overall a safe bet

Why this bike is better than it's rival.
This bike is fantastic by its engine performance and it's features.but the only thing is on the bad side is first one is very high cost to buy it and second one is the front forks. Atleast they have to give duke 390 front forks in this price range they charge a lot . And the main thing is it's very fast and give a smile on face.
