Honda CB300R Highlights

Honda has increased the price of the Honda CB300R by Rs 989 which pushes the cost of the bike to Rs 2,41,989 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Honda CB300R recorded a sales figure of 80 units in June 2019, which is double than that of its numbers in May 2019. In comparison, the Honda CBR250R tallied only 54 units and 51 units in May and June 2019, respectively. The Honda CB300R is priced at Rs 2.41 lakh (ex-showroom India), and is the company’s most affordable CKD offering in the country. The India-spec bike is the same as the model sold abroad, but the wheels are shod with Michelin Pilot Street radial tyres instead of the Dunlop radial units on the international model. Other than the tyres, the bike looks the same as the one sold abroad. It employs a 286cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC engine. While the international variant produces 31.4PS, the India-spec model churns out 30.45PS of power and 27.5Nm. Suspension bits include an inverted front fork and a rear monoshock. The bike comes to a halt using petal discs on both ends working alongside an IMU-assisted dual-channel ABS.

Chief rivals include the BMW G 310 R and the KTM 390 Duke. If you take the price into consideration, the motorcycle also competes with another retro-modern bike, the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.
