Honda CB300F Begin Nationwide Dispatches

The Japanese marque has started shipping its newest streetfighter from its fourth plant

Honda has begun rolling out the new CB300F from its fourth factory in Vithalapur, Gujarat. This bike will be manufactured on a line designated for mid-size motorcycles, catering to both domestic and export markets. The CB300F will be sold through Honda’s BigWing dealerships, and deliveries will likely commence soon.

Honda currently manufactures its scooter range, comprising the Activa 6G, Activa 125, Dio and Grazia from this plant along with the CB300F. This factory also manufactures engines with capacity of 250cc and above, for global markets like Thailand, US, Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia, and Gulf nations.

We recently spent a day with the Honda CB300F and here’s what we liked and did not like about the bike. To know more about what this bike offers, click here. 

The Honda CB300F is available in two variants - Deluxe and Deluxe Pro, priced at Rs 2,25,900 and Rs 2,28,900 respectively (all prices ex-showroom Delhi). There are three colour options available on each of these variants, namely Mat Axis Grey Metallic, Mat Marvel Blue Metallic and Sports Red.

Direct rivals to the Honda CB300F are the Suzuki Gixxer 250, KTM 200 Duke, Bajaj Pulsar N250 and Yamaha FZ25. These rivals are priced under the Rs 2 lakh mark, making the Honda an expensive proposition. For around the same price as this Japanese streetfighter, other alternatives include the Royal Enfield Himalayan, Royal Enfield Classic 350, Yezdi Roadster and the Jawa Perak.
