Honda CB300R handles very poorly
I personally feel that Honda CB300R handles very poorly compared to other bikes in this segment. The bike being light in weight, high wind speeds easily topples the whole bike and makes it exceedingly unstable at speeds above 80 kilometers per hour. I ride this bikes at city approx 34 kmpl on soft throttle which is low. I do not even hard push the bike on highways.

CB300R is an entertaining and lightweight bike
Honda CB300R is an entertaining and lightweight bike that is well suited to navigate busy traffic. The 286cc engine provides for good acceleration and high ultimate speed, which makes it possible to blend in with the rest of traffic. The bike’s controls are sharp and effortless adjusted, allowing easy turning of the bike in traffic and around corners. The bike’s suspension system is sufficiently springy without being overly large and has an easy upright sitting position. The mileage is lower than that achievable with some sub 250cc bikes but still fairly good for a bike with 300cc engine size. In conclusion, the CB300R is the ideal city bike for urban dwellers who dislike confinement in the city but want to have fun riding.

Himalaya 450 is best for
Himalaya 450 is best for off roading and it has a very high ground clearness. We can use it for long rides, mountain trips and for daily use also. It has a classic and decent look. Such an amazing off roading bike with low coast and high performance. You can buy it on your own intense. In my point of view it value for money.

Comfortable Ergonomics
The upright seating position and wide handlebars make for a relaxed and enjoyable ride, even on long journeys. Excellent Off-Road Capabilities: The bike handles rough terrains with ease, thanks to its suspension and handling. While not the highest in its class, the Himalayan 450 offers decent fuel economy.

Very nice bike with absolute performance
Very nice bike with absolute performance which is best suited for the off road climbing. The mileage is little less but the power and torque is very good for a smooth and powerful ride on the mud and Rocky roads. There brakes are veyy Good and the abs braking system is another advantage for the riders

Engine gets heated early
While riding inside the city, or in traffic, extream heat of engine will be felt.. feels like legs are on hot tawa. Best suggested to ride in cool climate to avoid irritation or burning sensation. Overall build quality and suspension are very good. Best suitable for off-road..Regarding milage, around 25-30 in highway
