My mid life crisis at 49 Feb 2019 - happened to know someone on Facebook selling her CBR300R when I was going for my Learner's. No regrets not getting a 600. I think it's suitable as a "beginner's bike" BUT... it's more than that. It holds its own on freeways so I'll be keeping it for quite a while.

Thanks for your video. I bought my first bike, a Cbr300r 2015 model, this past July. I just did a 650km round trip last weekend. It’s an amazing bike, I love how it handles on the open roads. I watched your video before deciding to go for mine.

I love this bike. I've owned a Kawasaki Z1000, a Yamaha FZ6, and this bike and this one is by far my favorite. Just know, many motorcycle enthusiasts will not respect this bike because of the small displacement - ignore them. At this point in my life, I'm not interested in doing wheelies and running from the cops. I just want to feel connected to the road and have a bit of fun tossing a lightweight machine around. This bike is perfect for that!

I hadn't riden for about 30 years then got this, this is in my top 2 favorite bikes I've owned, and I've had world class superbikes. Very Good Review. I would suggest looking at inexpensive helmets also, my LS2 is a good deal and a very nice helmet in my opinion.

Hehe, I got a 2016 black and red CBR300RA (with ABS). I too also squeeze my bike out between two family cars to get it out, I too have a black and red Shoei helmet with the integrated Sena bluetooth system. I too had a slight oil leak issue which I had to pay a mechanic to fix (mine was purchased used) It's also my first bike so I have limited experience, however, I think it's a little under-rated. Most videos and reviews I see about the CBR300R seem to emphasise how much of a "beginner's" bike this is, but I intend to keep mine for a long time. It may be considered low-powered (for a sports bike) but it still has plenty of room to accelerate on the highways and freeways even at over 100kmph/60mph and can go fast enough to break the law. While I'm sure a 600 or Liter super sports would be thrilling fun, this bike still looks as cool and is cheaper to run than my hybrid car! With the price of fuel these days, I'm in no hurry to "upgrade"

Hey dude good choice!! that thing looks awesome. I started when I was 15, on a Honda Sl 100 1972. loved it. hold on to that one man, I am 19, and I have driven a lot of stuff from a 1200cc BMW, to CBR 650R sport bike, to a 2 stroke dirtbike ect. But let me tell you, I miss my smaller bike!!! don't sell it man, no rush to get something you will regret because it is too fast. Awesome choice! stay safe!

So the 250 Suzuki, the Honda CBR300 or the Yamaha R3 are all great bikes for new riders - they're sport bikes but without the phenomenal power than bigger sports bikes like 600's, 750's and upwards have. The 250, and 300's won't scare you and are ideal for starting off with when considering a sportsbike. They would all be fine for using on the highway, but perhaps not ideal for touring. They're more for commuting, and short weekend ride outs with mates etc, and shorter journeys on highway routes.

Newb question but how do you go from 1st to 2nd if Neutral is in between 1st and 2nd gear 🤔

@kameronmclendon557

3 жыл бұрын

Okay now, take my explanation with a grain of salt as I’ve only looked this stuff up because I want to ride soon, so I haven’t ridden myself. The typical fashion of a motorcycle gearbox is ‘1 down, 5 up’. When you start, you’re gonna be in neutral. Press down goes to one, then if you do *half* a shift up, it goes back to neutral. However, a *full* shift up kinda skips over neutral and goes into 2nd. And of course, you have the friction zone you have when you release the clutch to match your throttle so you don’t throw yourself. Now, I am told finding neutral coming down the gears can be tricky for a new(er) rider but can’t say myself. Practice makes perfect in that regard, and luckily I drive a manual transmission so it shouldn’t be too difficult for me to adjust accordingly. Because I know the gist of that type of transmission, even with me not riding yet I’m confident I’ll have it down more simply than those who don’t. Hope that helps! Like that guy said ^ just kinda get on one and feel for yourself. 😉

At 115 lbs you’re literally the perfect size for this you’ll be able to keep up with 600’s thru twisty roads easy obviously you’re not gonna be pushing triple digits often but at your weight u can easily hit 110mph on the freeway, the seat height is around 30in so very accessible for anyone to sit on from 5’0”-5’10”, if you’re worried that a 300 is too much for you I’d recommend taking some riding courses cause a 300 is small game all things considered.
