I prefer good bottom end grunt torque rather than good top end. I ride on the streets and hilly areas, and thus torque is more important than top speed for me. Love the CB300F for exactly that. Great value for money too
Exactly, this engine delivers good usable torque in low rpms, we don't need to rev it to redline to extract all the juice. It's a perfect bike for the 30s.
Very Informative Bro, answered most of my questions, convinced that this bike is good for long rides/tours. Thank you!
I am impressed with your content, i bought my cb300f before 12 days i feel the same thing which was in your mind after taking delivery, now you gave cleared my all sadness in my mind about my bike , you just took my mind that my option was too good and right , thanks for that, the video quality and content was so good , you are the one who explained cb300f bike very clearly and each point was valid, i have watched your all modification video in cb300f, i feel like amazing man.keep making video and rock it in your style👍😎
How u feel now after 4 months
Great insight, bro. Best wishes to you. Your calm confidence and command is admirable.
Very crisp and sharp review with proper logic
Is this suitable as a first bike(beginner) or should I go with lower cc options like 160/200cc.. Bikes, what will be your suggestion(s) as I will be learning to ride on this bike
Hi how about the servicing, do we need to visit big wing service centre or this can be done from any normal honda service centre
Just got one thanks for your detailed analysis😊
Congratulations
Today I went to check the bike at Honda Bigwing got the quotation. Now waiting for the day to get the bike.
Good in-depth knowledge. Keep it up.
Thanks!
Great video, I'm about to pull the trigger on this as my first bike. There's a few Brazilian videos on YT already where they remapped the ecu to improve performance. They're hitting 167+ kmph on the road and the accel seems even better. If the engine has more headroom to do it safely, do you think it could be worth a try?
Definitely the engine is capable, as it's a oil cooled one hence the limiter kicks in very fast at 8500 rpm. Any sort of cooling system can push it further, it's just the limiter that limits the top speed. Powertronic is there for the purpose, I have plans for it in 2-3 years.
Very well explained... Subscribing and hope to buy cb300f in nearby future... Cheers 🥂
Appreciate the support!

What did you do for the back shocker?
Great review!! Very in-depth.
Does it have glide through technology? I mean does it start accelerating when clutch is released slowly on lower gears? Wanted to know if bike stalls.
Thanks! No it does not have GTT. In first two gears it can crawl, but the speed does not increase without throttle
Thanks for the reply, that's what I wanted to know. I don't like when bikes stall instead of crawling in lower gears, might book one now!
Bro, what about the spare parts? I got to know that some bigwing showrooms are not giving out spare parts, like you cannot buy the spare part and change it yourself or change it from other workshops.
Such detailed content 👍 I am going for test ride tomorrow
Thanks. Let us know your opinion.
Hii
I am Debendra. I am planning to buy this bike. Want to know some things.
What is the paid service cost charges. Paid labour charges.
Also want to know the mileage in city and higway.
Thank you.
And because of us Indians and our constant need to get cheaper things and what are the numbers on the papers is reason why we will never see Honda CBR150R or the CBR250RR like bikes in India. It is our fault that such big brand like Honda having amazing bikes has no faith in us as customers. Tum activa ke sahare hi jeyo inline 4 250cc ke layak nahi ho. Ab jo hai India mein usi se khush raho jada yahi nahi vo nahi kiya to will lose again just like we lost the CBR 250R kyu ki R15 khilona chaiye saste mein. We as Indians have 0 regard and 0 respect for quality products, irrelevant comparison to school times se bhara hai hum. mein
Not true. . You are viewing it wrongly. You see: Honda tries to price above it's class so Indians are not buying.
Reality: most of the time Indians would pay little extra for brand "Honda". But the market is really very competitive. In its same price range, better options are available.
Your comment is spot.
Great comment...
I dare to say that still till 300cc no bike is near to cbr 250r
Itni hi chul machi he to import kar na bhai. Ro kyu raha he? If you're financially capable then who's stopping you? Don't blame others or their choices
@@haranbtech006better option available only in features wise not quality

I bought my CB300f 6 months ago and yes this bike is very special for me , I ride it on daily basis 160 km + in a single run , fully satisfied with my little beast ☺️
Thanks for sharing! Yes this bike is very enjoyable and fun to ride.
Whats the mileage this bike offers?
I really loved the way you said "My little beast"...
Really cute man
@@karthikgundeti1560 i just bought the bike and i am getting 48kmpl , like i ride daily 40km half highway and half city
Does front side fairing vibrate a lot?
Bro how was the pillion seat for 100+ km ??
Any idea on the Powertronic mapped ECU for CB300F.? Is it worth to try it ? Will it help make the engine to cruise a little stress free at 120kmph.?
I have heard it pushes in more fuel to improve the refinement further. Also it eliminates the low speed jerking problems we have in BS6 engines. I don't have plans to do that, if anyone does that please let me know the feedback.
Just booked today
Excited for it's arrival
Congratulations
How much did it cost in road?
@@tesla1772 2.05 lakh on road
Reg mileage vs sprocket size, it depends on usage. Small ones will increase milage in city while bigger front will increase mileage
Seat kotha theke modify korecho? Details dio.
Is getting the spare parts for CB300F difficult ?
I've read blogs where people say they had to wait for months to get the spare parts like new rims.
Have you faced any difficulty of such sort?
Here in Kolkata parts are readily available. Will enquire once again in second service this week.
Bro which seat material is good
Not gear indicator,bro
Rpm limiter light that white flash light flashes while redlining is that present in cb300f?
Nope
Great video. How is the mileage in city and highways?
Can u recommend a steel braded brake lines for CB 300F
Dear friend I really appreciate that you picked my questions and thank you for answering the same❤
Yes it did cleared my doubts.
Just to mention a tiny thing, yes plastics will not save from mishaps obviously, but bad quality like R15 back panel plastics, are really annoying 😒
But anyway thanks for the video, and keep uploading more details regarding the bike like seat modification, lights, crash guards etc👌
Most welcome! See the point is unless it's not making any rattling noise and weird vibrations I am good to go with it. Also it helps in weight reduction!!
@@EzMeck Is this suitable as a first bike(beginner) or should I go with lower cc options like 160/200cc.. Bikes, what will be your suggestion(s) as I will be learning to ride on this bike
Please explain about the Bluetooth connectivity of cb300f. Do we need a Bluetooth enabled helmet? If so, suggest one
Yes you can find that in the meter explanation video available on my channel. I am using a Chinese bluetooth headset, I guess no good brand is there for bluetooth helmet headset. So pick one according to the review.

Gazab explain h. Bhai
I m using FZS V3 150 CC for a few years now n feel connected n drive in all conditions due to comfort n low seat hight 790 mm. Will CB 300F suit me in terms of ergonomics?
I have ridden fzv3, cb's ergonomics is much better than fz, handlebar is less wide, and footpegs are positioned for touring. Also the tank recess is much better is cb. It felt like I am in the bike rather than on the bike
I am 35 Years old, 5'8" height with two 3 year old daughters, need a bike for office commute and occasionally take my wife and daughters to market, hence need a seat that is longer and comfortable. Daily commute
Cb300f suspension is on the harder side if you compare them to the competitors like fz25 Gixxer25. Pillion will feel it bouncy in potholes. Seat is not the best,although the pillion seat is spacious but it's not well padded. The rider seat is very spacious. It's a great all rounder bike for everyday use and touring, but not with the best suspension. So test ride it before purchasing. Gixxer 250 will be more comfortable for your need.
how is the pillion seat and spare parts availability and handling compared to gixxer 250.
pillion seat is pathetic, handling is slightly better in good tarmac, spares are hard to get, same as suzuki.
I test rode n250 and was about to book the bike, then came this re-launch from Honda. Help me decide between these two. I really loved the n250, the bike felt very smooth
Bajaj is Bajaj but Honda is Honda !!
In this price it's a no brainer bro, go for Honda. Bajaj f250 is definitely a refined, smooth and high revving motor, but Honda will give you that big bike feel, added showa USD forks, traction control and Honda reliability. It's the best naked 300cc out there right now.
Same here I also booked the pulser n250 then I heard about the re launch of cb300f now I'm totally confused between these two
The best way to clear the confusion is to get a test ride, and ride hard. If you need a bit extra mileage, a buzz free engine, and a high revving motor go for Bajaj f250. If you want a big bike feel, a superb low end torque that pulls really hard, and really long lasting engine. Go for cb300f.
@@EzMeckit's lighter too ❤
Kitne ki padi ... ? On-road
What would you suggest between n250,cb300f,hunter 350. I have gixxer 150 2016 now and its been a very bad experience with gixxer faced lots of problems
All of them are very good bikes, RE is notorious for quality issues, engine noise etc . I am not saying everyone gets the problem, but whoever gets it cannot resolve it. N250 is very nice, good punch overall, decent seats, and exhaust note. Cb for big bike feel, superb low end torque, and riding dynamics. The riding triangle of cb is unbeatable. N250 will have a better experience after sales, parts are readily available and is cheap. Test ride both and see which one is better for your riding style.
@@EzMeck i like the character hunter has also the quality has improved by a lot since 650 twins
90% city te chalai valo hobe eta ?
Sir, suggest me where you buy luggage rack/ pillion back rest ?
Its from zana, bought it online from zana's official website.
Is it fine for taller riders? I'm 1.89 mts (6.2 foot) and I feel it won't be comfortable for me.. do you know any tall rider opinion about it?
Its very comfortable for taller riders as well. ua-cam.com/video/TxQPGgNDEes/v-deo.htmlsi=KiDNfFOgRU_Eakww I hope this video will clear your doubts.
EzMeck wearing a red cap: "I am not a red fan" :P :P
I didn't get that same monster cap in blue. Otherwise bleed 💙💙
Plz let me know that by cutting such a huge price, did'nt they compromised on quality. If so, does that impact the quality of engine or build quality.
Think of this as a pixel phone, for example when pixel 6a was launched its mrp was 42000inr. After 7a was launched, it's price went down to 28k inr. Does that mean they used cheap parts on a lowered 6a? It's just a market demand and supply system, currently the Indian market is flooded with excellent offerings, Speed400, xmr, vstrom, x440 hunter, so they had to lower the price. Hope that helps.
Very detailed ownership experience.if you ride honda cb350 highness. Then please tell me which bike is more refined engine cb350 or Honda cb300f. Thanks in advance
Got a call from honda to test out CB350RS, hopefully cover it in the weekend! Thanks for the appreciation!
Do you think Honda would have addressed the vibrations issue with this update?? Is there any DIY fix for reducing the vibes???
It's more of an engine character that I don't think is fully fixable. But it can be reduced. And I have done that. The vibrations are now highly diminished. I will share a video just for that. And will show it in motovlog setup, how you can see through the mirror. Please be connected.
Thanks for your efforts, i was gonna book the F250 but since Honda has brought down the price. I'm considering this aswell.
what is the mileage of the bike in city and highway and is it worth buying as of now since at this price we get Gixxer sf 250 with 35-40 mileage and also the new kazrisma
Both Gixxer and Karizma have more of an aggressive riding posture. Cb300f is much more relaxed and very comfortable. Its focused for city ride and tours. Max load capacity of cb also higher than other two. So yeah it definitely makes sense. Off the line it's the quickest among them.
The aux lights don't hit body with full handle turned?
The mini driving lights don't. They are just perfect in size.
hii,, honda big wing showroom is 250kms away from my residence should i go for buying this bike ?
Absolutely not
❤❤❤
Hey rajib
In this video you were mentioning fz15 is it fzs v4/v3. Since long time i was planning to go with fzs v4 but i was little hesitant about its low power. Then i found out about cb300f and the discounted rate at which it is provided. Now i feel that 300f might be worth it . What are your views. Thanks
Hey, Once I recommended everyone to buy fz15, fz fi v2 bs4, since the launch of bs6 fzv3, v4 I stopped recommending them to anyone. Because it's overpriced and absolutely underpowered. The thrill of riding a motorcycle is no longer there. For the price cb300f is selling now it's a steal. Just get the right mindset that a 300cc will not return anything over 33kmpl. Fz is known for its mileage 45-50kmpl. That's the only thing to keep in mind.
@@EzMeck today i took tesdrive. Bike is just awesome. There were some issue like pillion seat discomfort, stiff suspension. Mostly tomorrow i am going to book it. Just wanted to know if there any more problems that i must be aware off which could happen in long run. Thanks
No problems as of now. Honda engines are super reliable, also I will make a video related to alternate spares that fits cb300f. Might help others, as cb300 spares are problems in some places. Clutch cable acc cables are compatible with other bikes. I will share it in a while.
@@EzMeck is extended warranty necessary. And the modification that you have done will those void your warranty?
Add bikes video also when you answer questions, it will be good.
Bro Honda Big Wing should sponsor you as you are promoting this bike a lot
Is the new cb300f bs6 phase e20 fuel compliant with OBD?
Even the older gen also had an OBD port. Yeah this lot is coming with E20 compliant engine
@@EzMeck I hope so, the website is pretty tight-lipped about whether its e20 compatible or not.
My bike delivery expecting nxt week,any problem with red colour (peeling issue) , either wanna change to matte colours
Nothing as such, improper buffing while applying ceramic coating may damage the paint
Help me , can i fit Bajaj Pulsar 150 carburettor on bajaj V15 Bs4
Yes you can fit
If i but this bike amd suddenly face a puncture then how will the roadside puncture shops repair the puncture.
Why not? Are you worried about not having a centre stand?
Difference between cb300f and cb 300r ? Best value for money ? Is it worth to pay extra 80k for cb300r ? Please advise
uploading shortly. had a test ride will share my opinion.
When you turn on this bike, there is no parking light so no light turns on which gives it kind of cheap bike feel like splendor or passion because most bikes above 100cc nowadays comes with parking light for premium feel
¿Parking light? I don't comprehend... might as well look it up
What is your height and weight?
Can you check or answer if possible.. only thing right now i am hasitating is spare parts availability.. i heard many users complaining about spare parts availability.. some even waits more then 4-6 months for basic spare parts.. can u answer or guide on this point?
Even I didn't get the oil filter for the first time, they took the order and delivered after a week or so. So yeah, parts are not readily available, but as it's a bigwing offering so we can expect the parts to be delivered definitely. But it might take some time. Its better that suzuki by the way, the only reason I got Honda ditching vstorm.
Spare parts is definitely an issue bro. In August mid while I was returning on the highway during heavy rain, I hit a pothole which damaged my front rim(crack + Bend) and created a bend on my back tyre. Front rim came in 15-18 days. Back rim I'm still waiting for stock. No stock all over India. Its been over 40 days. Since I opted not to claim insurance I have the vehicle with me and am able to use it by filling air at more regular intervals than usual. But yeah spares are an issue
Mileage?
Please make a video on periodic maintenance and spares part price, service interval
Cool, noted
Bro how much one can expect average from this bike specially in mumbai roads.
32-35kmpl
Hi Rajib, Need some inputs on some other bike. Where can I reach out to?
Insta. Link in description
If possible, can you please make a video of all the modifications you have currently done in the cb300f and from where?
Definitely, stay tuned!
Already booked 300f and waiting for it❤. U said that every engine vibrates at its peak torque region...but when i ride highness that 3000rpm region feels so relaxed...!! Can you explain that .? And ur videos are superb 🎉 love from kerala❤.
CB300F has engine built only for this bike. It is not take hiness or the cb300r. Touch wood no vibration atall about to complete 1 year
Duke 200 yah pher cb300f mese kon se lu...🤔
Cb300f se kam power hi Duke 200 me, sliper clutch nahi hi, price bhi 20k-25k bhe jyada hi.
But Duke me jo looks bohot Jaya ache lge or quality bhi cb300f se jyada achi hi + liquid cooled engine bhi hi...tho krna cahiya
Or cb me meko koy advantage disadvantage nahi lga.
Milage bhi dono ka same hi he.
Does It Have Assist and Slipper Clutch
No it doesn't have a clutch.
You bought your bike from Bigwing Kolkata
So, did you do a temporary registration in Kolkata and then permanently registered at your local RTO ??
OR
did the Kolkata bigwing guys help in registering the bike with your local RTO and attached the number plate ??
I am asking this because i live in Kolkata (for job purposes) 99% time (stay at my in-laws house) but my residence proof is of Burdwan
I got it from berhampur, they registered it from Howrah rto. You can purchase from wherever you want to, and register it to any rto, they will charge like 1-2 thousand extra. That's it. I know people bought it from Kolkata and registered to odisha rto.
@@EzMeck Sorry for my ignorance. Thought you had bought it from Kolkata.
So, you did not have any address proof of Howrah ? But the showroom guys somehow managed to register it with Howrah RTO
As far as i know, you need a local address proof to register.
Does the nissin brake pads wear out faster
Can't confirm,
Is this new version has slipper clutch?
Even the older version had.
Brother what's the cruising speed of this bike without any vibrations?
The bike gets slight vibes at 4k, but that vanishes at 4.1k 😂. So I just blast past that. After that, it's smooth with vibes returning at 6500rpm. By then, you are at 115-120 kmph in top gear. If you want to cruise at 80-100kmph, it will do it very easily.
Biggest pros of the bike
1. Smooth engine for most part
2. Excellent mileage of 40kmph in mixed use
3. Very nimble bike
4. Reliable and fuss free
Cons.
1. Gixxer/dominar 250 will be smoother
2. MRF tyres are bad and not very confidence inspiring
3. Very thin service network
See it's a naked sport tourer, you can cruise at 130, but will drain all of the glucose pretty fast. The engine is capable, but the design is not. So anything between 80-110 is ideal.
Yesterday i got delivered of my bike. Surprisingly the mirroes where not the standard ones i got ones which are used in cb300r also the horns are very loud. Dont know if company has upgraded those in latest model
This bike does not come with mirrors, they gave mirrors as a free accessories, so probably your dealer moved a step ahead and gave you the 300r mirrors. Congratulations 🎉
@@EzMeck Also, the black panel near battery is a little loose. There is some gap. When i asked the showroom guy he said thats because there is the battery. Is it same in your case?
make comparison videos with cb300f and new hero kazrisma
cool
I also got my CB300F last month. To my surprise I found my bike to be completely vibration free even upto 120 Kmph (Just buzz which doesn't bother/hmper our riding experience) I have even checked after my first service.. there is no change in Higher RPM but lower RPMs also got smoother. But something weird happened yesterday when I installed crash gaurd and fog lamp.. The bike started having vibrations heavily 🥲🥲.. this was immediately noticeable. Now I get to know where all the reviews/people mentioning about vibrations at higher revs.. They all probably fitted crash gaurds and did not know that it is the culprit. As an owner of CB300F completing my first 2000kms within a month, the bike is actually vibration free unless you fit a crash gaurd.
Do you also feel vibrations after fitting the crash gaurd? If not then you can you mention the name of crash gaurd please. Also suggest on the best engine oil for this. And grade
Yes people complain about the same after the installation of crash guards. However I don't have any issues with my zana crash guard and saddlestay top racks. I would suggest to stick with the Honda engine oil only. As there is very few options in the recommended oil grade 10w30. Don't try to experiment with the grade. Even 10w40 can affect the engine life as higher viscosity oils don't flow easily in tight tolerances.
@@EzMeck thanks for your prompt reply.. Wanted to try 10W-40 but anyway let's not experiment now in the initial stages. Maybe an year or two yrs later I will try that...
Tip (Which I tried): Try installing CB300R mirrors.. they definitely elevate the look and also slightly more area of mirror. I also installed CB300R bar end weights.. now my handle looks even better
@dolanandakishore I already have another mirror installed. And dominar bar end weights. Video is live on the channel.
@@EzMeck saw most of your videos before purchasing the bike 😁 That gel seat cushion is ✨ trying to get the same in Bangalore
Bro if we ride this bike an ideal speed like 70 to 80 then how much milage it gives
In that case in highways, it gives 40+
I wanted to know how much the City mileage is
In city 35-37kmpl. If you ride sanely. Ride like a hooligan and every 250+ gives 30kmpl...
Hii bro, What about Mileage of this new model CB300f .. can i expect 40kmpl in cities . Because iam planning to buy daily office & Weekend Tours purpose.. so Mileage also a factor to me .. 😢
Hey, it depends on what is the avg speed you can maintain. In my locality my avg speed is 10-20kmph, and mileage goes 30-32kmpl, if avg speed can be maintained at 30-50kmph, then it will return 35-37kmpl, 40kmpl is only possible in highways.
@@EzMeck thanks bro .. let's think . I will maintain the speed around 30-60-80 in cities.. Max Speed is 40 to 70. 🥺 I want to see more videos on mileage of this new bike. Then decide.. thank bro
What about short riders bro i am 5.6 will i have flat foot or i will be tip towing
I am shorter than you, I flat foot both sides.
@@EzMeck thanks for replying man!
Bro, how do you compare NS200 2024 LED model with CB300F?
Bro I'm also confused between these two 😭😭
From most reviews, I learnt that CB300F is strong in Low and mid rev bands .. whereas NS200 has strong top end. So if the usage is going to be mostly within city, CB300F would be better and if it's for highway rides and if we're looking for top end performance, NS200 seems to be better. In terms of features, NS200 lacks Slipper clutch and Traction control, but I'm not sure how useful they're in real world conditions, and NS200 clutch is already lighter. And considering reliability and longevity of the engine, CB300F scores higher. So, it's a very close call and a back to back test rides of both the bikes would help in making the decision I guess..
300F is a much better proposition when compared to ns200. It's a detuned version of Duke 200. My friend who had a ns200 sold it and bought a cb300f. I rode both. Ns is smoother in higher rpms like 8-10k rpm. As it's a liquid cooled. But how often will you gonna use the rpm range? I do long rides with my wife in cb. I do 125all day long. No issues with cb. 4-6k rpm is all you are going to use. If you are not racing anyone. So think about the usable range of the spectrum. Cb is anyday better than ns in real life scenarios.
@@EzMeck That's correct bro .. considering the usable rev range, CB300F is better
Another truth is. Ns200 has 15kmph speedo error. So basically it's 145 speedo top is 130kmph. Which it gets at 10k rpm. Where as cb300f speedo is very accurate with 5-10 speedo error. It has a speedo indicated top end of 145, which is 135-138kmph. At a much lower rpm. Most of us don't understand these aspects.
What is the sevice interval of this bike?
Twice a year, 6k kms
@@EzMeck thx bro
There is a wrong information in the video fz15 does not go to 110 without a 20 km stretch
I used to do 110 with my friends fz, heres a small video clocked 124 that day.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Bro..
Good explanation.. I need your suggestion.
I am planning to buy a bike with good pillion comfort (mom will sit one side). My budget is upto 2lakhs. My physique is 5.7 height and 85kg weight. Please suggest me a good bike, good build quality, mileage is 40 to 45km/l and good engine reliability.
Please suggest.
Waiting for your reply bro..
Now a days higher displacement bikes do not come with good quality pillion seats. If you really need better pillion comfort you have to opt for 125cc bikes. Or royal Enfields. But again don't expect 45kmpl from anything above 150cc.
@@EzMeck Thanks for the reply bro..
traction control is not required for 250 or 300cc single cylinder bikes
True. In fact it doesn't help either. I switch it off most of the time.
Is cb300f is comfortable for long rides?
Yes very comfortable. Long ride review coming soon so please consider subscribing.
I was the one who was thinking that this bike have vibrations in just 80 and it will not give the big bike feel. When i went to showroom and took a test ride. Man i bought it right away. The bike is soo much capable from 0 to 120. I don't go further after 120 or 130. This is a gem and at this price, there is no competition. This bike is giving me 40kmper litre mileage. Its insane for 300cc bike.if you want to just cruise on highway and you have enough time to reach on the destination then keep the bike in 55-60 and then it will give 48kmpl mileage. I was shocked to see that. Its a splendor for 300cc bike. Go get it guys without a thought. The youtubers are shit saying shitty things. Ride it and then you won't come back without the bike❤❤.
I was also stunned when I realised that this bike is intentionally defamed by the youtubers. Don't know why, they spread rumours about vibration thing. This is a bike so good to be true at this price point. Premium from Honda at a premium of Bajaj.
@Guptajismart how are you even getting 40 to 48 KMPL, here I am getting between 33 to 35 if I ride between 85-100. This mileage on a 600 km long ride 97% of it is highway.
I think 48 is just BS. I have got the first servicing done and the mileage is about 33-35. The max I got is 38.9 KMPL.
1. How many services have you got done on your bike?
2. What speeds do you ride on the highway?
3. What fuel do you use?
4. How often do you clean and lube your chain?
5. What pressures do you run in your tires?
@@MedhamshMaringanti buddy if you ride between 55-60 6th gear and 90% Highway then i can assure you the mileage, which you will get in between 45 to 50 easily. I knew honda will give better mileage and that's why i bought it. Please keep in mind to keep the bike within 4000rpm. My weight is 65.
Luke chain after around 600 km and clean after 1500 km
I use indian oil petrol and a normal one, not even premium.
I got my second service done. Till now the bike has completed 3100kms.
@@EzMeck you are soo true brother. Please ignore the youtuber and just take a ride. You will not choose anything above it at that price. The bike is premium and at that price its like bajaj is giving the bike and asking low amount which is never with the case of honda.
Here's a quick review on CB300F (Coming from a Gixxer 155 BS4):
1. Built to a cost! Don't expect a Japanese level of quality.
2. Loads of Torque and fun to ride within the city limits.
3. Engine is extremely vibey if you push it beyond 6000 RPM. 85-90 kmph is the sweet spot.
4. A VFM proposition without a doubt but has its shortcomings.
Alternatives:
1. Gixxer 250
-- Definitely a Japanese build.
-- Refined and Vibe free throughout the rev-range.
-- Exciting to ride. Pulls hard.
2. N250:
--The Most refined yet slow revving in the segment.
--Fun to drive but exciting unlike the Gixxer.
--Build quality is really good by Bajaj standards.
--The most VFM bike in the segment.
--The exhaust is something else. ❤
Thanks for sharing your opinion!
Gixxer 250 is outdated even if it offers very high revving performance I would not prefer to buy it unless suzuki makes changes like slipper clutch USD etc. It looks also same as gix150 which is a complete deal killer for me., N250 indeed a VFM Price to performance ratio is insane in N250. I am little prone to the Japanese other wise its a killer deal.
CB300F is a perfect balance between citybike and tourer. its little bit vibey, not extremely vibey, I can ride it at 110 all day. its just a bit vibey at 90kmph, after that its gone. What I love most about cb is its riders triangle. its like you are in the bike not on the bike like gixxer and pulsar n250. I have not seen a city bike with that kind of riding posture before. which makes it incredibly comfortable at long rides.
Happy riding!
@@EzMeck I'm most probably going to get the CB300F this month because of the overall value it offers. Although, I found the gixxer to be more refined. I still don't know, why I am not getting the N250, It's literally perfect for the price.
@EzMeck,
The 300F makes the most sense but still confused between CB350RS, N250 and CB300F.
If you take my opinion eliminate gix250, and it's a contest between n250 and cb300f. Now both bikes are different in power delivery and nature. Pulsar has more inclined forward seating, good for city not for highways. Engine is super refined and power is laid down at the redline. Cb has exact opposite nature to n250, it's power is mostly in lower rpm, if you are not a rider who pulls really hard upto redline cb is the bike for you. If you like the high revving nature n250 is the bike. Bajaj has significantly improved the quality of pulsars. Still not near cb300f. It's a true vfm at 2lakh on road. It's a deal too good to be true.
Good
And what about the mileage 😮
Pillion comfort ksa h for long rides good for going with gf ?
Seats are not the best in cb300f, I have done gel seat mod in my cb, now it's very comfy in long rides.
@@EzMeck What is the cost of the gel seat ?Is it from OEM or outsourced ?
can i cruise between 120 to 130kmph efforlessly?
No, too much windblast, engine is capable, vibs are manageable at that speed but it's not sustainable for long time due to windblasts
ok any solution to manage the windblast
@@EzMeck
windshields. I am about to try out cb200x windshield. Will update how it goes
This bike is ok for daily ride ?
Absolutely perfect for daily ride
Nice
🤘
It is oil cooled, not liquid cooled
How is the heating issue ?
First 500km it heated a bit. After that I don't feel the heat anymore
@@EzMeck cause you got used to it....
@SariaQuamer some of my friends have Duke 390 for some years now, and they don't have to wax their legs. Unfortunately that's not the case with me.
@@EzMeck 🤣🤣🤣
I actually meant for city traffic
Bro can we increase the intensity of cb300 headlamp😢
Plz reply 🙏
I am planning to buy within 15 days . I saw video's of headlight test but it doesn't perform well.
No the headlight is good for the city. But not for highways. Just install a hjg mini driving light for 1200 rupees. As you can see installed in my bike, it does wonders. Will upload the full video soon
@@EzMeck can we install any other light inside headlamp for higher brightness like people install night eye in ns200?
Not possible,. Getting aux light is better and cheaper as well.
You want a owner's review ask me who has owned the first gen CB300F when it was first launched. Out of all the bike I tested me and my friends had heart on this since that first ride. Plastic quality is impeccable, I've seen other bikes on the road all their Plastics flapping all over the place. Pillions are happy, heck my girl said if I ever think of buying r15 or that ktm she won't sit on it and breakup with me. Service cost umm.. it ranged from 1200 to 2800 depending on what I ask them to do or whatever is Nessary. Perks that comes with this bike or any bigwing bike free entry to Honda events and that includes races sponsored Honda on the Madras International Circuit, since I live in Chennai. Free use of the race track. 36 to 38 kmpl milage. Not once the engine stalled in chennai rains, this bike makes me more confident riding in heavy rains without even worrying about anything happening to me or the bike in anyway. It easily went off road didn't took it purposely but yeah comfortable for me and the pillion. Engine has hell lot of low end torque great for wheelies great for overtaking great for bumper to bumper traffic with literally no heating issues, 2nd gear is like riding a activa it is that refined without constantly pressing the clutch and even unicorn is a damn well built bike bro.
And talking about the build quality, I accidentally dropped the bike on a steep ramp without any crash guard and all it got was a little scratch on the right tank extension and the brake lever that's it nothing broke nothing got bent. This bike is glued together idk with what, I feel there was a reason why they initially priced it at 260000 and now that they have lowerd it because us Indians don't understand the value of something in it's true form and want things cheaper you get cost cutting as a result.
I cannot agree more. The moment I sat on this bike it was a deal for me. I was so connected to it that I booked it that day before taking a test ride. And I never regret that decision. Such a soul bike it is.
I had test drive, for rider seat is comfortable but seat is worst for pillion
Indeed. The moment you go above 150cc in naked street, they forget about pillion comfort. So modification is must.
👍👍👍
Please make a overall mileage video
Just uploaded.
