I don't get all the judgment out there on engine displacement. My current bike is 1450 CC's and I would still rip around on one of these. I'd love one as a commuter. Once you realize that no matter what size or brand of bike you ride people are going to talk trash on it, it makes it a lot easier stop caring about what all the clowns say and just enjoy yourself.
Had mine out here in LOS. I keep it for longer runs outside Bangkok where it performs well on the rather poor roads. Love everything about it. Sits at 150kph if you want to with minimal NVH. Got mine 2nd hand in Jan 16 when it was a year old. Paid 98,000Baht.(3k USA)
Heck yeah, glad to hear you're enjoying it bud! Thanks for sharing, it's always interesting to hear from guys on the other side of the planet and it's super cool hearing what kind of money differences we're talking about too from one place to the next. Hoping I can get out an explore corners of the world like that and see the different bikes you guys have compared to us etc in the near future!
I bough a 15 model used for my kid to ride with me and I honestly ride it more then my liter bike it’s a blast around town! But if I was on interstate a lot I would get something bigger but for town and 55mph roads it’s perfect. $2-3 bucks a day will get you by on gas. And it rides good at normal speeds!
@@tammyforbes2101 nice ! I ended up getting a 2021 cbr300r last month and just hit 600 miles on it today! Loving this bike but definitely wish it had just a little more on the freeway. But like you said around town it is a blast
It’s a great little all around bike if your just riding around and don’t need your hair on fire. Better tires, exhaust and brake pads and you can whip it around the backroads quite nicely
@@HondaProKevin I made the decision to buy one and add it to garage. I had the opportunity to test ride a friends who did a little work to it this is going to get a lot of use as most of my riding is very local and backroads is what I have. Still looking for the black and orange 500 that color scheme is one I really like. Gotta find a used one though my cfo won’t ok two new rides in one season. Something about bills and shit🤣
Well. I ride one. It's a fun light weight package that is great for city ripping. I'm an experienced rider, and love this bike. As a package, and for the price it's a great place to start, but it's a really fun place to come back to. I've seen rumors of a 400 in the works from Honda? I would be interested to see that come to fruition. Supposedly a twin.
One of the first things i did to my cbr 300..renthall gold chain 520..bridgstone battalax tires..racing brakes vesra..love my bike..just did valve service.spark plug.fuelfilter..major pain in the ass..only attempted it cause of u tube..17000 miles now..
I love my CBR300R because its so practical and for that I'm keeping it. But seriously the Honda CBR300R design is well overdue for an update. It hasn't changed since 2014 😠
You're 100% correct, we desperately need a massive update to the CBR300R and not just a mid-cycle refresh with new plastics etc. We need a lot more than that if they really want to be competitive in the current segment...
I own a 2017 model it’s not a big bike but since it’s so lightweight it’s just stupid how fast that little engine rocket’s forwards. I love mine never planning on selling it
Yes sir, no problem at all and thank you for the kind words! Best of luck on convincing the misses, that's usually the hardest part. Just find some way to make her think it was her idea all along and you're golden lol!
One of the more local dealers has a couple of these and not much else for sale for beginner bikes. I'm doing a build right now but I need something for this summer as the build won't be done in time. Seems reasonable enough with 6 gears to maintain freeway speeds occasionally.
its not even louder than a lawnmower. Its like a beautiful German girl who blows your mind but then when she talks she sounds like Erkel from Family Matters. So I would have to put either a hot bodies on it or a FMF or a Yoshimura
hahaha love it! 100% man! The first thing you have to do with most bikes these days is an exhaust otherwise you're just riding around a sewing machine, it's a shame most bikes can't have any character to them without you having to spend some money.
I’ve been looking into cbr300r for a couple months now as that’s the bike I want to start off with, I haven’t seen many places online that actually has a cbr300r and like a week ago I was in Nashville and saw a cbr650r outside a motoshop so I’m glad that shop southern Honda power sport sells the cbr300r and is only 4 hours from me
Yeah buddy, they normally try to keep everything in stock but due to this rona mess - it's made getting inventory a lot more difficult than normal. Hopefully we can all get back to some normalcy soon though! Best of luck on your hunt, it's a great bike to get your feet wet for sure!
I just bought mine under a month ago I thought about it for the last 4 months after I went and looked at the rally... I'm glad I waited and got the cbr don't get me wrong the rally is nice but this thing is a smooth girl not to powerful but definitely gets going when it needs to everything. Has a phenomenal top end pull,(still just a 300). I wanted a daily driver and this is perfect for that. It can hit the Interstate no problem just remember it's top speed is 92 so it's not healthy to ride more than 45 min at those high speeds, the engine is built for it but the wear and tear isn't worth it. Other than a few other miniscule cons I loveeeeee it.
Hondas American lineup is so irregular with a leap from a 150cc to a 300. Its a shame. Such a different bike market in America when people call everything 'small'.
Could Honda make a 400 to compete with the Ninja 400? It would cost more, obviously, but meets the performance needs the 300 can't deliver. Great channel BTW, Kevin. Nothing like it in the UK, so I watch it to drool over the bikes you have that I can't - big XRs, for example!
Could they? Oh yeah, but do they want to is the question lol. I think they're happy not competing against them in the cheap sportbike segment if I'm being honest. The next refresh will definitely answer that question though and show us how serious they want to take this platform. I'd love nothing more than to see them give us a true small supersport bike but I don't think the vast majority of people want to drop that change for one when they just want a small and cheap bike that looks like a "real" sportbike. The most recent CBR250RR is close and lightyears ahead of the CBR250R / CBR300R platform but Honda could've done a little more to really send that bike to the next level. I would've bought one to have a minime of my CBR600RR but go figure, we didn't get it here lol. It's wild how you guys in the UK get stuff we don't and we're jealous but the grass isn't always greener as like you said, we get stuff you don't lol. Maybe one day in the future all of Honda's products will be available to everyone, like it should be. So many cool Hondas in different parts of the world! Thanks for the kind words and support bud, I really appreciate it...
Naaaah, nothing to be scared of bud. Once you make the jump and make it happen you'll be wondering why you didn't do it sooner. Don't waste even more years wondering about how much fun you could be having on 2 wheels, just do it and enjoy yourself - life's too short ;)
That’s how I was. After I turned 32 I decided I was done being scared and started buying protective gear one piece at a time as I saved up enough money to buy a bike. I made for certain to attain ALL my protective gear before ever pulling up on the dealership lot tho. I didn’t want to be tempted with riding without gear.
I’m debating whether to get the cbr300r the 500r or the 650r. the cbr500r is only around 10 miles faster but for a couple thousand but if I pay a little more than that 500r you get the 650r witch is significantly faster.
It should already be here lol! That's two production years now they've skipped us on the new CBR600RR. I'm starting to lose hope that American Honda even wants to bring them over.
what limits the top speed on this bike? is it the gearing or is there a computer that limits it? I noticed it won't rev past a certain point in 6th gear.
Could you ride it? Definitely. However, you won't be touching flat footed and you'd really have to side saddle it and it might not be that comfortable for you in my opinion. As much as I don't care for lowering bikes as it kills the handling, that may be something you'd need to look into to make it more comfortable for you at the end of the day.
@@HondaProKevin ontop of that ive sat on chairs around 32 inches and im able to touch two - three of my toes to the ground so idk, im also 14, turning 15 in two months.
@@Joey.the.producer slide your butt half down to one side to keep on foot on the ground. those rally bike start form. it is 780mm seat height. the most lowest seat for sporty look bike in this decade. you can cut down the seat cushion. the seat itself is big. if you afraid of some fall down accident, buy those fairing guard bar. it could save your foot pegs and brake clutch lever and mirror and some minor scratch when fall down during walk the bike , parking , or slip sandy, steep angle ground. 160kg is about the same weight as motogp bike so i would not say it is that light. i live in asia where many smaller scooters available and they could weight 90-100kg. and the tires set are not much bigger than bicycle tire. all in all if you really into sport bay. i would recommned one with 10000rpm maximum hp or above. and height seat becasue you will need room for your body in track conrners. but if you just want to ride aroun town and practice some sport basic back street in weekend, this 300cc is one of excellent choice.
Guys If you read this comment please give me your insight, Im getting my class M license and i love honda bikes and cars, Should i buy the 300r or the 600r? If i got the 600 i wouldnt go crazy on it but i do want a 600r in the end ultimately
Does anyone know when or even if we're getting a redesigned CBR300R? I'd kinda prefer to get one more in line with their bigger brothers. Oh, and thanks, Honda Pro Kevin. The Honda autism is actually pretty greatly appreciated. *thumbs up emoji*
Maaan, I had a brain fart for a minute lol as I wasn't thinking someone would stumble across this that knew employees there. But nah, that's me firing her up. I run into Justin every now and then out there though, super nice guy!
It needs more displacement. Honda, if you can hear me, please redesign the engine and make it a true 300cc machine at the very least! (Do keep it single-cylinder though; thumper sportbikes are rad.) Yamaha, Kawasaki, and KTM all have you beat regarding engine size; are you just gonna take that sitting down??
You are spot on bud! It'd be a little ripper too with 30 horsepower. Throw the parallel-twin from the CBR500R in an ATV too and there's a 50 horsepower ripper and they don't have to develop new engine technology so it'll help keep cost down. Heck, just reuse the old TRX450R and TRX400X frames for them and call it a day. It'd be the easiest payday they ever had lol!
That's going to be a difficult one but depending on your inseam, you might be able to side saddle it when you come to a stop. As much as I hate to say it, in my opinion, unless you lower it, you might not be able to ride one but swing by your local dealer and check one out to see how she feels ;)
A brotha I used to work with had the budget (girl edition) Mustang with the small motor. When asked about the engine he would say chicks don’t know anything about engines.
C´mon Honda, make a CBR250R with 4 cylinders like the new Kawasaki ZX-25R 250cc inline 4 cylinder and bring it to Europe and USA. We need that bike in our markets 👍 THAT 300 SUCKS.
Sadly, I don't think we'll see that happen any time soon. As a longtime CBR fanboy and owner of multiple models over the years, I want that to happen as I'd be buying one ASAP lol! If they won't give us a 4 cylinder variant, at least give us the CBR250RR! I wouldn't say it sucks, it's just not what some of us think of when we hear CBR. Not everyone wants to spend $6,000+ on "just a 250-300" as some people say and for those that don't want to push a bike to the edge, this thing is perfect ;) . That's not to say we don't need a smaller displacement supersport bike for those of us that would enjoy it and gladly pay good money, if it's done right. We can only hope though and with the way manufacturers are headed now with not really pushing the envelope on engine technology because of electric models and the push towards them, we may never see something special like a four cylinder 250 out of Honda again. Thanks for posting!
lol 100%! Some of their new releases have hit delays because of the rona situation messing everything up but we'll be finding out very soon (couple months) on what their plans are for 2022. I don't have any blips on the radar to really make me say it's definitely getting its refresh this year over next year but we're still a few months out from its announcement date so we've got some time for things to change. It's still a great bike at the end of the day, as long as you go into it with the right expectations. Could it be better? Ohhhh yes! I do feel sorry for them though, slightly lol. It's a fine line to walk with this bike on trying to give it more but keep the price down and then you still won't make the guys like us happy that want a true 250-300 supersport bike out of them and don't mind paying a premium if done right. Compared to those that are searching for something like this and don't care about what suspension it has or how many cylinders or how high it revs etc. They just want something cheap that looks like a sportbike. It'd be nice if the market was strong enough for them to build two variations, say a CBR300R and it be the budget bike and then the CBR300RR that has everything us go fast geeks want lol. Similar to the CBR600RR and CBR650R, one is built to more of a budget and the other one (was) the cream of the crop. Sorry for rambling on man, I could talk bike crap all day! Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it...
Different strokes for different folks ;) I've grown to like it over the years but the funniest part is how many times you're told by people "hey, you have a headlight out" lol!
I don't get all the judgment out there on engine displacement.
My current bike is 1450 CC's and I would still rip around on one of these. I'd love one as a commuter. Once you realize that no matter what size or brand of bike you ride people are going to talk trash on it, it makes it a lot easier stop caring about what all the clowns say and just enjoy yourself.
As a smaller person wanting a bike to take to work and just have some fun, i think this is what i’m gonna go with
The 300R is a great city bike. I just recommend getting a aftermarket slip on exhaust. It makes a huge & noticeable difference.
Oh yeah, they are waaaaay too quiet! Throwing a pipe on there definitely makes them a lot more fun to rip around on!
@@HondaProKevin what do you recommend?
what do you recommend?
I have Yoshimura. But there's Two Brothers & Akrapovic. Whever your preference. Just don't get those Ebay knockoffs.

Amazing review as usual. Love all your videos . Keep it up

Any tips for someone looking at getting their first bike? i’m leaning towards the cbr300r as my first one

Nice
make a 300r atv with this motor... at $4999 they d be sold out!
You are spot on bud! It'd be a little ripper too with 30 horsepower. Throw the parallel-twin from the CBR500R in an ATV too and there's a 50 horsepower ripper and they don't have to develop new engine technology so it'll help keep cost down. Heck, just reuse the old TRX450R and TRX400X frames for them and call it a day. It'd be the easiest payday they ever had lol!
@@HondaProKevin so true....
It looks like its from 2005..
Its time for a facelift
How tall you gotta be to ride one these can a 5’0 person ride one these or no
That's going to be a difficult one but depending on your inseam, you might be able to side saddle it when you come to a stop. As much as I hate to say it, in my opinion, unless you lower it, you might not be able to ride one but swing by your local dealer and check one out to see how she feels ;)
Actual review starts well over the two minute mark. Nearly clicked off the video because of this
Top speed
Oh by tbe way on a good day..the bike will do 96 mph...use high test....vp race fuel makes a nice additive..
A brotha I used to work with had the budget (girl edition) Mustang with the small motor.
When asked about the engine he would say chicks don’t know anything about engines.
286cc will killl you all the same.. this bike handles well and is a great commuter..
래핑인가요?
C´mon Honda, make a CBR250R with 4 cylinders like the new Kawasaki ZX-25R 250cc inline 4 cylinder and bring it to Europe and USA. We need that bike in our markets 👍
THAT 300 SUCKS.
Sadly, I don't think we'll see that happen any time soon. As a longtime CBR fanboy and owner of multiple models over the years, I want that to happen as I'd be buying one ASAP lol! If they won't give us a 4 cylinder variant, at least give us the CBR250RR!
I wouldn't say it sucks, it's just not what some of us think of when we hear CBR. Not everyone wants to spend $6,000+ on "just a 250-300" as some people say and for those that don't want to push a bike to the edge, this thing is perfect ;) . That's not to say we don't need a smaller displacement supersport bike for those of us that would enjoy it and gladly pay good money, if it's done right. We can only hope though and with the way manufacturers are headed now with not really pushing the envelope on engine technology because of electric models and the push towards them, we may never see something special like a four cylinder 250 out of Honda again.
Thanks for posting!

Amen
let's hope Honda can get with the times and compete against there competition for 2022. Update this slow pig! lol great video as always btw
lol 100%! Some of their new releases have hit delays because of the rona situation messing everything up but we'll be finding out very soon (couple months) on what their plans are for 2022. I don't have any blips on the radar to really make me say it's definitely getting its refresh this year over next year but we're still a few months out from its announcement date so we've got some time for things to change.
It's still a great bike at the end of the day, as long as you go into it with the right expectations. Could it be better? Ohhhh yes! I do feel sorry for them though, slightly lol. It's a fine line to walk with this bike on trying to give it more but keep the price down and then you still won't make the guys like us happy that want a true 250-300 supersport bike out of them and don't mind paying a premium if done right. Compared to those that are searching for something like this and don't care about what suspension it has or how many cylinders or how high it revs etc. They just want something cheap that looks like a sportbike. It'd be nice if the market was strong enough for them to build two variations, say a CBR300R and it be the budget bike and then the CBR300RR that has everything us go fast geeks want lol. Similar to the CBR600RR and CBR650R, one is built to more of a budget and the other one (was) the cream of the crop.
Sorry for rambling on man, I could talk bike crap all day! Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it...
Its made to be efficient stupid
@@usernotfound904 If your on a motorcycle it's already fuel efficient stupid
@@busboy3232 typical Cultists response, read a book Dumas
@@robbuck8242 Why so upset it's a 300cc single? Relax my dude.
either way. they're cheap. Ans i wanna get them
comment go brrrrr
Looks really stupid with only 1 headlight lit. My CBR250R looks 1000X's better.
I want it, but that single lit headlight is a deal breaker.
Different strokes for different folks ;)
I've grown to like it over the years but the funniest part is how many times you're told by people "hey, you have a headlight out" lol!
Extremely outdated
It could definitely use a complete refresh for 2022!
