This is why I like Autocar reviews. Powerdrift review is a shame, they can only appreciate Royal Enfields. This is the lightest 300cc Motorcycle no one is highlighting
Another 6 months with limited sales , Honda will reduce the price , happened for 500 x and the cb 300 r , this would follow.. Also with the hunter and ronin around , it makes no sense in buying this bike.
I bought it in Colombia. I love it and I think the HP only tells a small portion of the story. This bike has inverted showa forks, tc, excellent torque, slipper clutch, way smoother gear box and led lights everywhere. I think it's much better than the gixxer 250 and the 250 duke is way too expensive to compare it too.
Not sure, why all 150cc plus Honda's are vibey at higher revs, all buzz around foot pegs , under the seat etc etc. Still Honda fans will say " Honda refinement"" ,😂
The first time I read the name when Honda launched this 300F. I got excited that a faired 300 from Honda is ready to come🥰. But when it was revealed, every dream and hope shattered. Really disappointed by the Honda's effort towards Indian market.
Being a Honda fan boy, I'm quite disappointed, even more so because it seems that all of the top UA-cam channels has made their first reviews within the premises of the Ramoji Film City. Is this a coincidence? Hell no. Honda Two Wheelers marketing team has done it intentionally so that these bikes are not reviewed and tested in the real world. Eventually when the "real" reviews start coming in , many squids may end up making their decision solely after watching one of the Ramoji Film City based reviews and skiping the rest altogether. Not allowing full freedom to independent content creators is an extremely sly move from Honda's end. Indeed I'm quite appalled .
Honda basically discontinued this model in the Americas and EU, then moved the production facilities to India, drastically reducing build quality for sure
I own this bike completed 1500km in 2months, vibration only above 110, after 1st service it got lot smoother, mileage around 35km, though looks like hornet2 but cb500 also looks very similar as honda s same design language, yes it lacks road presence but no complaints for its performance & comfort, bought 2.07 lakh on road after discount, feel free to ask anything about it
Honda is becoming a master at offering under-powered motorcycles at an overpriced range. A peppier, rev-happy 250 Duke or a Gixxer is a much better buy compared to this.
Dont know wats in Mind if honda 🤷 they should look at yamaha how their products r powerful , stylish & competitive 🔥 . In current stage TVS is doing well than honda 😝. Except hiness honda has nothing to offer for youngsters .
Honda can make great bikes. They've proved it over the years. But they just won't do it sometimes. Not because they can't, because they won't! Why Honda?? Whyyyy?????
In case you're not a 16 year old red headed boi who will "cruise" @ 120 kmph "all day". If you want good mileage and really are not trying to "turn heads around" with the looks of you 'bike' then go for this bike. I mostly ride it in Himalayas and I don't suggest it to most people coz we all don't want it to become the Quora of bikes. Ikywim.
Such a shame because the bike looks extremely pretty , much more elegant and refined compared to the duke 250 and most other bikes in this segment . But the performance just doesn't add up . Very unlike honda to make such a crappy engine
I don't know, Honda somehow thinks that they are the Ducati of Motorcycle market or the iPhone in the Smartphone segment, but with low power, low tech and a lot more money..🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕
Honda, stop with churning out old designs under a new badge. I was not impressed by the design at all. Let me see you try to sell the same specs to Western markets. I would prefer few and uniquely special to generic old and tired crap you have been pulling lately.. like that “adventure” bike you released for the Indian market.
Because of its low compression ratio of 9 : 1 very low compared to duke's 12 : 1, thats why dukes have severe heating issues. 😳 9 : 1 doesn't produce any heat. That's why no liquid cooled required bro 🤔
The Gixxer doesn't come with a slipper clutch, USD front forks, the traction control gimmick or USB charging. So what cost advantage are you talking about when it comes to the Suzuki??? Add to that the pathetic aftersales service and you have a pure headache in your hands. All Japanese brands think Indians are idiots. Hope Yamaha brings in the MT-03 with decent pricing.
USD forks, Traction control are absolutely unnecessary for 25 HP engine and 153kg bike. Slipper clutch is the one actually missed on Gixxer that can be useful..

Especially the Varun painter always blow the _____ for Enfield

Really disappointed Honda could have done soooo much more with this ☹️
I bought it in Colombia. I love it and I think the HP only tells a small portion of the story.

I think it's much better than the gixxer 250 and the 250 duke is way too expensive to compare it too.
it is hornet 3.0 tag with cb300f
What's the point of selling this bike in Big wing outlets only...to make it feels like a super premium bike..🤔🤔🤔🤔
Well said, Honda should make bikes affordable for Indian market yet not compromising on quality n fun.
Not sure, why all 150cc plus Honda's are vibey at higher revs, all buzz around foot pegs , under the seat etc etc. Still Honda fans will say " Honda refinement"" ,😂
Honda Hornet 2.0 with 300cc Engine.
No bro engine is completely new
I was about to say the same
Honda unicorn 160 would be better comparo, then hornet
Pp
Yup
Autocar reviews are genuine. These guys don't bash the bikes, negative comments are told in a way it should be.
Just putting this out there... For just INR 5000 more than the CB300F's on-road price, you can get the Dominar 400.
The first time I read the name when Honda launched this 300F. I got excited that a faired 300 from Honda is ready to come🥰.
But when it was revealed, every dream and hope shattered.
Really disappointed by the Honda's effort towards Indian market.
posting same comment 😅 on all vlogs ,,
Wait....HERO WILL BE LAUNCHING 2 NEW 400CC BIKES SOON WITH NORTH OF 40 BHP.
One of the best looking LED tail light,will the seating position be comfortable for tall riders?
Thank you Autocar for being candid.

Price could have be at 2L ex showroom. Now suzuki gixxer makes more sense.
Honda basically discontinued this model in the Americas and EU, then moved the production facilities to India, drastically reducing build quality for sure
This belongs the group of costilest LOW powered 300cc bike ever made. Really underestimating Indian bike customers
Want a drag race between this and Gixxer 250
Now that it's under 2 lakhs do you think it is worth buying?
I'm damn sure that, Suzuki Gixxer 250 will easily beat CB300F in Drag race & Top end also.
honda wasting time.. instead of getting cbr 250rr to india.. they r getting hornet 2.0 types... wtf
Get a dominar 400...cheaper and more powerful
What about its weight i.e 187kg 😳
Should I go with TVS Ronin or Honda 300 CC considering the weight and price?
Very Genuine review ! Hondas are doing it lame for india
Automotive journalism at its best. ❤️
Very good and honest review 👍👍
I own this bike completed 1500km in 2months, vibration only above 110, after 1st service it got lot smoother, mileage around 35km, though looks like hornet2 but cb500 also looks very similar as honda s same design language, yes it lacks road presence but no complaints for its performance & comfort, bought 2.07 lakh on road after discount, feel free to ask anything about it
They should provide with glossy black colour also..it would have been more appealing
To sum up super overpriced bike which after 3 years will discontinue due to lack of sales.
U mean, Mercedes are overpriced in comparison to Lamborghinis
Is that a fair comparison bro? 🤨
I watch this channel only because of Rishabh Bhaskar.
I BELONG FROM HYDERABAD BEST CAPITAL CITY IN INDIA ❤️
OP..
Over-Priced
Gixxer 250 sounds like the best now. 😂
1:01 editing next lvl .. haha
Honda is becoming a master at offering under-powered motorcycles at an overpriced range.
A peppier, rev-happy 250 Duke or a Gixxer is a much better buy compared to this.
Are the engine vibrations really that much??? Seems like Pulsar 250 is a better deal.
Where is Autocar weekly new launches updates video.?????
Why only in bigwing..why not in all showrooms...
The premium customer service . CB 300 aur iska bhi yahi HAL hone wala jyada bikega nahin
So that Some morons think that it is some special bike with premium features..Honda is playing the mind game.
For this price.. Bajaj would have given a liquid cooling... 5bhp more...and a fairing!!!!
Dont know wats in Mind if honda 🤷 they should look at yamaha how their products r powerful , stylish & competitive 🔥 . In current stage TVS is doing well than honda 😝. Except hiness honda has nothing to offer for youngsters .
250cc engines of Gixxer, Dominor, Duke deliver a minimum of 27PS . 24 PS for a 300cc is not value for money on highways atleast
बाइक मैं किक नही है बाइक मैं हैडलाइट ऑन ऑफ स्विच होना चाहिए जरूरी है बाइक मैं सिंगल सीट का ऑप्शन होना चाहिए बाइक बहुत शानदार है
Honda can make great bikes. They've proved it over the years. But they just won't do it sometimes. Not because they can't, because they won't! Why Honda?? Whyyyy?????
It’s been 2 months and still no full review..
Still waiting for the follow up review
Bruh this is right near my dudes house
Such a high price tag for such a watered down 300 cc engine is a crime !
In case you're not a 16 year old red headed boi who will "cruise" @ 120 kmph "all day". If you want good mileage and really are not trying to "turn heads around" with the looks of you 'bike' then go for this bike.
I mostly ride it in Himalayas and I don't suggest it to most people coz we all don't want it to become the Quora of bikes. Ikywim.
Doesn't seems to be worthy look for that price range
Good review.
Such a shame because the bike looks extremely pretty , much more elegant and refined compared to the duke 250 and most other bikes in this segment . But the performance just doesn't add up . Very unlike honda to make such a crappy engine
Get a Duke 250...it has 30 BHP and waaaay more fun.
And sexy looks, + lot better brakes
But very poor bottom end.. Below 4000rpm!.. Gixxer250 is the best all-round 250cc engine.. Even Dominar250 & FZ25 pack good all-round engines
I don't know, Honda somehow thinks that they are the Ducati of Motorcycle market or the iPhone in the Smartphone segment, but with low power, low tech and a lot more money..🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕
Don't judge a bike by its on-paper power figures.
Honda is market leader even in superbike category bro 😄
Ducati ranked 2nd.
Still I go this than any Duke
Kbhi CBR launch hoga fir sb bolne lgega iska price 1.40lakh hota to achha hota
The bike like Fz250
Now price cut down INR 50000k 💪
It could have been the Forza!
Huge price
Don't ever consider it . Long story short
Yamaha MT15 makes more sense
Looka like Honda is kinda lost on Indian motorcycle market
Honda, stop with churning out old designs under a new badge. I was not impressed by the design at all. Let me see you try to sell the same specs to Western markets. I would prefer few and uniquely special to generic old and tired crap you have been pulling lately.. like that “adventure” bike you released for the Indian market.
Any one better could elaborate
Cross of honda x blade and honda hornet
Dont buy this.... Honda needs to b taught a lesson.... They underestimate Indian bike lovers
just make a note of these mistakes , 5-10 year down the oine if honda decides to quit because of low sales . we can send them these mistakes 😂
Lagta hai saare biker 1 sath Hydrabad a gaye hai.. same review by all 😆
Dream bike
So ... a Honda hornet 3.0 then....
i dont know why did they launch this 😐
2 lac ex showroom better
❤️❤️❤️looks.. ❤️❤️❤️
Why the engine is not oil cooled like ktm duke bikes ?
It is an oil cooled bike!.. Duke is liquid cooled..
It is oil-cooled.
Because of its low compression ratio of 9 : 1 very low compared to duke's 12 : 1, thats why dukes have severe heating issues. 😳
9 : 1 doesn't produce any heat. That's why no liquid cooled required bro 🤔
Sad to know the bike is a dud for that kind of price!!
Honda seem to be losing its way in India. Stupid pricing of cb300r, cb500x, now the refinement of engine on this one and stupidly priced eHev hybrid.
The Gixxer doesn't come with a slipper clutch, USD front forks, the traction control gimmick or USB charging. So what cost advantage are you talking about when it comes to the Suzuki??? Add to that the pathetic aftersales service and you have a pure headache in your hands. All Japanese brands think Indians are idiots. Hope Yamaha brings in the MT-03 with decent pricing.
Duke 250 makes more sense over this
USD forks, Traction control are absolutely unnecessary for 25 HP engine and 153kg bike. Slipper clutch is the one actually missed on Gixxer that can be useful..
Except new engine cover nothing exciting here people are going to judge that you are riding a hornet.
Prefer the cb300r
If anyone like to purchase cb300f top reck with saddle stay, plz contact
❤️
Yah kya launch kar diya 200 cc bike mein yehti power aati hai
Just get the Gixxer 250
Hornet 3.0
Yeah no one's gonna buy this at 2L +
Iska prise 1.20lakh hota to mst hota
🙄
Most meaningless motorcycle 🤣
what is this shit ?
24 ps ? For real ?
I’m waiting to see whose gonna buy this …
Cb300r is more better
They already have the cb300r for performance. The cb300f is a Street ready bike and not made for performance
Botha overpriced
Ye kya mazaak h
Disappointing!!
24 ps😂
cancel this motorcycle
Disappointing product..will be a failure... nothing interesting offered
Cope 😂🤡
honda poor quality
Worst looking 300cc bike
