I just have one question, do you really think even if Honda brings back CBR250R, they’ll price it low? And all the people asking for CBR250r will go and buy that when they price it nearing to 3L 🤷🏻♂️. It has been discontinued for a reason of not making sales figures after it was been compared to same motorcycles at that price point. So crying bring back CBR doesn’t make any logical sense.

When good bikes like cbr250r were available people felt it was overpriced and no one bought it so they had to wind up the sales and discontinue it. They attempted to relaunch in 2019 again with BS4 version but even then sales was not picking up. So again Honda decided to discontinue it totally. Now when we see all the KTM, Bajaj, Yamaha and TVS offerings we regret we don't have CBR250R. It was way ahead of its time. I own a CBR250R 2015 model. I still go for long rides. No other bike can give the big bike feel than the CBR250R.

I would say the character of CBR250R is still there in this bike but misses the fairing and is tuned for city riding. If they come with faired version of CB300F then it would be a good replacement for CBR250R.
Eagerly waiting for Activa 7G now, just for the fun of disappointment. :')

But this bike can do more than average highway performance because of very comfortable seats and 300cc displacement. But the cruising speed could have been better. Just slightly. But we can't get everything perfect in one bike the compramise depends on purpose. But the hate that this bike is getting is totally un deserved

I like these guys honesty .... Unlike others..!
Thank you for the honest review Most of the manufacturers are avoiding the middle weight category Not everyone need a superbike for an upgrade from 150CC , some do care for a reliable 250 and KTM is not everyones cup of tea. The only bike that can change the game for the segment leader Gixxer 250 will be an updated FZ25 Really hoping Yamaha to bring some changes A 6-speed gearbox & An aluminium swingarm and new suspension can make it the best seller in 250 cc Or Bring the BiG Dog the MT-03 No one really care for the Bluetooth things we need real updates

CBR250R is a sports tourer whereas CB300F is a city bike. It has a clear distinction. Since I own both the bikes now I can say both are in separate segments. I can say Honda has tried to do the same as what Yamaha has done with FZ25. Less stressed engine with loads of torque for city commute and occasional highway trips which looks like Jack of all trades situation. versatile machines!!!
I will go for N250 almost same power figures at 1lakh less.
which will perform better, gixxer 250 vs honda cb 300?
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 think Honda has a good call. There are no city based light weight 300ish cc bike for 2.75L OR. The RR310 is a brilliant bike for this price(nearly) but then some won't prefer a fairing. The 390 then comes to mind but now you shell out almost 3.5L for it. So I think they have nailed it for a niche and might sell a few numbers. There are a lot of Honda fanboys as well. Edit: typos.

I think the pricing of the KTMs are very good because of their Bajaj partnership (I maybe wrong). Tbh, the best way to get a bike is to test ride, it's like everyone has their different opinions on vibrations, I saw 3-4 videos and all of them have different opinions on it.

Considering the service center and quality I would prefer Honda CB300F. But this is not a top end happy machine but more of a torque machine which is good for traffic conditions. Suzuki sx250 as a versatile product is good but the service center is where you will feel the real pain. If you have a Honda bigwing nearby go with a Honda CB300F.

Buying a bike is always a emotional and personal choice. Write down what are your requirements in a piece of paper. A few factors to consider Power (can I cruise at 100 kmph all day), City riding dynamics (is it nimble around the city without any engine heating issues), service network (can I rely on the ASC if there is a major engine issue during ownership), quality of parts used (can the bike look the same for ages without any parts rattling), price (is it in my budget), mileage (does it drink a lot of fuel) and maintenance (is it pocket friendly in long term). Get a test ride on both the bikes and check if it fits your requirements personally. Then come back to the list and then score them against your requirements. This would provide the bike you are looking for. Do not look at the spec sheet. Feel the bike and then decide. With Honda slashing the price to Rs 161,000 Ex-showroom now. It has become VFM. I did the same process to narrow down on my requirements and bought a Honda CB300F on Dec 28 2022.

It should be also noted that all new bike engines need break-in period to become smooth. In the case of CB300F it is 500 kms. Not sure if reviewers have taken this into account when they speak about refinement. I own one now and I can say it can cruise at 120 without a sweat all day after break-in period. It was buzzy initially and after the engine oil change in 1st service it is smooth to ride now.

I am unable to believe it is rust. Even entry level bikes are rust proof now a days. In 300cc why we want to aim for flying. We can aim for relaxed and agile city ride. So it is not disappointing

Same thing happened in Maruti's case maruti launched later version of maruti alto 800 and alto K10. Both the cars were almost-almost same just extra space here and there and some cosmetic changes.

Do you think our indian roads are safe beyond 80 kmph speeds?. I doubt it. So what is the point in having all the bells and whistles to unleash speed on such roads. A cow or dog suddenly getting into our way can result in a serious accident on the highway. There is no point of higher CC if we can't use the full potential. I feel a 250CC or 300 CC with a less stressed engine is more than adequate for Indian roads. It all boils down to the compression ratio of the engine. The higher the compression ratio the engine is stressed, produces a lot more heat and needs to be cooled with advanced liquid cooling systems.
If Honda would have launched Honda CB 300 X It would have made more sense If it would had good ground clearance, suspension travel, longer wheelbase..........
