  • After long last Sarge gets his hands on the 2023 Honda CB300R which has overnight turned into a strong contender in this highly contested segment after Honda India dropped its price to a more sensible Rs. 2.4L. But does it have the goods to take down the new KTM Duke 250? Sarge hops on to find out.

    Honda, with all due respect, grant this man the motorcycles he requests. If nothing else, you're missing out on reaching out to people who look for his reviews before purchasing a two wheeler.

    I had took it for a test ride last year ... Oh man! it blew my mind.. its compactness and playfulness and P/W makes it so good. Also the quality and smoothness, literally bulletproof engine...Such a good combo for an enthusiast. I really loved it.

    Sarge, thx for reviewing CB 300R. Waited many years for this review. I own CBR 250r n knew the potential of Honda engine very well. Problem lies with Honda India to undermine this exciting 250-400 cc segment & also Indian market. While other brands r giving various exciting options in this segment, Honda is just acting normally. Despite of having CBR 250r's success, they never cared abt future.
    Anyways thx a lot again to review this bike. & thx again for doing it by urself rather than depending on Honda India.

    I own this bike. Mine is the CKD model. The bike is seriously underrated. The CKD version in my opinion wasn't overpriced. But when they brought up the BS6 model which is locally made was too overpriced. My experience with it is wonderful. It's one of the most fun bikes for up to 120 kph I have experienced in this segment. As always great review sarge ❤️🔥✨

    Lovely review there! I'd pick the Honda over the KTM any day. Quickshifter I don't care about- tyres I can always upgrade and spongy brakes have always been the hallmark of Honda motorcycles- but you get used to it. But what you get is a smooth motor and the gearbox that'll work the same even after 100k kms and it'll be stable as a rock unlike other motorcycles that start wobbling with age. I remember being confused between a KTM 200 and the CBR250R when they both came out- I went ahead and bought the CBR. It clocked over 250,000 kms and to shamelessly admit- I neglected maintenance big time, but it just went on and on.

    Pros:

    Performance is awesome!
    Performance is awesome!
    and No heating issue for me.
    To add to the cons rear seat is useless, even if someone manages to squeze into it - hand grip is below the butt which is not easy to hold.
    Saree guard - no use when noone can sit in the rear.
    The horn is not just swapped with indicator, its pushing down actuation is positioned away so your tumb finger cant push it down easily. you have to hold the bar at the closest point and you have to lift your hand to push the horn - very very very annoying.
    Seat is not cusioned properly where tigh meets the tank so when you are one footing in traffic its uncomfortable.
    Mileage is 25 in city 😅
    Bike is designed for japanese market where people are skinny. Needs some basic design changes for indian market.

      If the Duke 390 is a scary fast motorcycle the Speed 400 feels like a scared motorcycle due to the buzz which that engine produces.
      Triumph is one of my favourite brands, but I was thoroughly disappointed with the Speed 400 when I took an extensive test ride of the machine.

    Yes Honda both the cbs FnR are beautiful machines, the interchangeable switches are not a problem, as i shuffle between xpulse, cb300f and scooters is just a muscle memory. But yeah that tyres will need a change for more fun. On highway cb300f was a fun turned out 40+... 400 tank range on 100+ on throttle, minimum heat for an oil cooled one

    This bike is selling again ❤. I saw one last night. I wish Honda had priced it right after assembling it in India during BS6 era . Hence this was a dead product for all these years despite being a capable product . I am glad Honda is coming back to its senses😅and pricing their products aggressively in 2023. That was a great review, sarge . You did full justice to the hooligan that CB300R is ❤💥
    I would love to see review of Honda CB300F which is Honda's 250cc rival despite being a 300cc bike . Its a 300cc FZ25 😂fighting 250cc bikes , power commuter as we call it. And its priced at 1.70lakhs undercutting bikes like MT-15, Karizma 210 , RE,Jawa Yezdi , other 250cc bikes .
    I would love to see a review of CB300F also from you sarge ❤

    I bought one earlier in the year but barely used it and ultimately sold it after mere months. I really want a middle weight supermoto but no-one makes them for the road in Europe atm. The mad scientist in me imagined getting am Aprilia SX 125 and putting this engine into it. This engine was smooth and a little punchy low in the revs but didn't keep going into higher revs. Even so, I wish Honda would make a 400cc road legal supermoto. Atm the only options are 125 and then a jump up to 700. This little 300 was nice and easy and very smooth. Honda could apply the same engineering to a slightly larder single, release a supermoto, and they'd sell out instantly because there's no competition.

    Nice review. The scenery was amazing. And yeah CB300R is a great motorcycle. Also IMU based ABS is less intrusive should the tyres have been better. And about the Duke 250, that is a SOHC setup and calmer than CBR300R at low rpms.
    Thanks for the video.

    Finally a review from Sarge of my dear bike, cheers mate.
    Completely agree on the tyres, it’s unfortunate. Never felt any issues with brakes being wooden but then again I use heavy engine braking so possibly never realised it. Also, it’s def not the best touring machine but I’ve toured a lot and have to say it’s perfect for those small twisty roads of the western ghats. I’m enjoying it thoroughly, wondering if I should swap better tyres and maybe tune the engine a bit and see if I can extract more from the engine.
    All in all, I think it’s a fantastically fun bike to ride and isn’t given its due credit!

      I had a test ride of this beautiful machine a year back and was blown. Can you please elaborate how fairly the bike did while touring?
      I currently own a Yamaha FZ-S 2010 model and did a few long tours - even 1000 kms in a day a few times and it faired well. I might end up doing the same on this machine but need some user reviews who actually own it like you do.

    • @adr2567
      @adr2567 5 місяців тому

      @@abhi170490 Honestly most of my touring is of the small ghat roads and trails kind because highways are boring. I therefore don’t like to do more than 300-400km a day, though I’ve done 500 in a day. My thoughts -
      Seat comfort - Seat is firm which is good for distances. I know some people have added extra padding for extra long distances. I found it’s to be good for a solid 300-400km before it has a bit of sag and is a bit uncomfortable.
      Body position/rider triangle - On the committed side slightly, you have a bend to the bars. I’m 5’10 and have found a good position for myself so no wrist or back pains.
      My legs however do get cramped because it’s a small bike. So if you’re shorter than me it should be fine, if you’re taller will def be an issue I think.
      Luggage - Using a tail and tank bag, no issues with luggage. Points to tie bungees are less but smart bungee wrapping solves the issue.
      Mileage - 30-35, depending on riding type and roads.
      Suspension - Def firm, needs a bit of slowing down on bad patches. Fantastic on tight twisties and good highways.
      Trails and light off roads - Surprisingly doable due to low weight and good low end torque.
      All in all, I love the bike. Not the ideal tourer but if you want a spirited bike that’s fun wherever you take it, can def recommend. In addition, solidly reliable so good to take wherever.

I've been riding my 11-year-old FZ16, and it's time to give it a rest and upgrade to a 300-400cc bike. I'd prefer one with a refined engine, minimal vibrations, and the ability to cruise around 100km without a break. Pillion support isn't a concern. Any thoughts on which bike fits
