Honda CB300F First Ride Review - Now 50,000 cheaper and VFM?
Honda 2Wheelers India has launched the CB300F in our market to compete in the 300cc roadster segment. This motorcycle is available in two variants - Deluxe and Deluxe Pro - and the differences are limited to the Bluetooth module. All other specifications and features are identical on both variants.
The styling cues are inspired by the Honda CB500F roadster and it gets aggressive bodywork and sharp creases all over. The design elements comprise a single-pod headlight, muscular fuel tank, split-style seats, and a side-slung exhaust. Then, the feature list includes full-LED lighting, digital instrument cluster, traction control system, and dual-channel ABS. The Bluetooth module, which is only available on the Deluxe Pro variant, brings features such as call alerts, music controls, and voice navigation.
The mechanical specifications include a BS6-compliant 293cc, oil-cooled, four-valve, SOHC engine that develops 23.8bhp and 25.6Nm of peak torque. The motor is linked to a six-speed gearbox and it benefits from a slipper and assist clutch mechanism.
The suspension setup includes upside-down front forks and a preload-adjustable rear mono-shock while the braking hardware comprises a 276mm front disc and a 220mm rear disc - both grabbed by Nissin-sourced calipers.
Both variants are available in three colours - Sports Red, Mat Marvel Blue Metallic, and Mat Axis Grey Metallic. The Honda CB300F rivals the likes of the Suzuki Gixxer 250 and the KTM 250 Duke in the Indian market.

But at that speed and that high gear other bikes will stall like crazy. Most of them even in half clutch. Also, in most recent bikes the clutch feel is rubbish. The honda commuters have better biting points than 200-350cc other brand bikes. There is a reason why there are so many unicorns on the road. And many people have re-purchased unicorn after 8-10yrs of riding. #just_honda_things

@@mrholmes3367 I got the N250. Reasons for not choosing CB: 1. Engine felt strained and like we are pushing against its will. Didn't like the exhaust note or the overall ride feel/ connectedness.(Personal opinion). But acceleration is great for the price!, Better than N250. 2. Issue with footpegs for me as I felt it small and my ankle was hitting the frame 3. Poor headlight performance 4. Uncertainty at that time if Honda will discontinue, spare parts etc. Now since they have relaunched it at 1.7L x showroom, good value for money. I would recommend it. I love N250, because personally I find its, engine smoothness, exhaust note, gear shift slickness, the analogue tacho(even thought its slow its ❤️), awesome lights, all these gives me a nice feeling when riding the bike hard. Even for small 5 mins rides, I enjoy the bike when I take it out. But I did face some issues, like some rattling noise in suspension region, bike not turning on first try, but will turn on 2nd or 3rd try, some loose fuse (Happened 2 times in 6 month), engine produces clattery noise once heated, you notice only at slow speeds or if revving in neutral. Seat foam is soft, so butt ache after sometime. Lower set handlebar. Planning to fix all issues in next service and add cushion to seat, and switch handlebar to P150 standard. Overall I love the N250 inspite of these issues, for the ride feel, looks and joy it gives me! Hope above things help you better!
