What's New?
Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has launched the 2024 model of the CB300R café racer in India at a price of Rs. 2.4 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The neo sports café racer gets a price cut of Rs. 37,000 and was earlier priced at Rs. 2.77 lakh. This makes it significantly more affordable, making a good case for itself, in terms of sales and dealership footfalls. Honda hasn’t revealed the reason behind the price cut.
The motorcycle gets the same 286 cc single-cylinder engine which is liquid-cooled and makes 30.7 bhp at 9,000 rpm, with peak torque output of 27.5 Nm at 7,500 rpm. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox with an assist and a slipper clutch. Tipping the scales at just 146 kg, CB300R is the lightest motorcycle in its category. Complimenting this are 41 mm bronze-coloured USD front forks and an adjustable mono-shock absorber.
Other parts like rear monoshock, brakes and alloy wheel design stay the same as before. Features on the motorcycle include dual-channel ABS, circular digital instrument cluster and full LED lighting.

Honda CB300R
Would you go for the Honda CB300R over other models? That is the big question that has to be answered in this context. Here’s finding out.
The Honda CB300R is an exhilarating new motorcycle that takes all of the best features from Honda's acclaimed motorcycles and packs them into a lightweight, easy-to-ride package. The CB300R's engine produces powerful torque and is designed to be responsive and nimble. It also has a comfortable, upright riding position that ensures you have a great time on the road.
At first glance, it seems as though the only thing that has been altered is the paint job, with the CB now receiving two new colour schemes. However, if you look a bit more closely, you'll notice that the design of the exhaust muffler has been modified somewhat, and that the bike now has a golden coloured USD fork. The LCD display also appears to be fairly similar, except it now also includes an indicator for the gear that the vehicle is currently in. Because this bicycle has such a narrow gear range, it is highly likely that even when you are riding in city traffic, you will find yourself using the top three gears very frequently. This is something that is really beneficial while riding this bicycle.
As was the case in the past, Honda has positioned the horn switch in the spot where one would ordinarily anticipate finding the indicator button; as a result, this will continue to be a cause of ongoing annoyance. We were disappointed that the previous model did not have a feature that would deactivate the engine when the side stand was down. Thankfully, the new model has this function.
Pros
- Neo Classic design
- Good fit and finish
- Good performance
Cons
- Expensive
- Only available in BigWing dealerships
- Better options available
Verdict
The Honda CB300R is stylish and with you on it, your style quotient too goes up a few notches. It will stand out whether on the move, or when parked somewhere. It is a good option for young riders and people who are returning to riding after a gap. The performance is par for the course when riding in the city but highway runs could be a little uncomfortable. Should you buy one? If you are looking for good performance, extraordinary looks within ₹ 3 lakh then yes, definitely!
