Honda CB300R Discontinued In India

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has pulled the plug on the CB300R, effectively delisting the neo-retro streetfighter from the official website. The motorcycle has not been on sale for a few months now, with leftover stock having been cleared by BigWing dealers earlier in the year. No fresh orders were being accepted for the CB300R, and the motorcycle was also missing from Honda's revised model-wise price list post the GST 2.0 rollout.

Launched in 2019 via the CKD route, the CB300R arrived at Rs 2.41 lakh and quickly drew attention with Honda claiming a strong initial response. Over the years, the company introduced periodic updates, including a refreshed version in early 2022 priced at Rs 2.77 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Later, in October 2023, the model received a price cut as Honda increased localisation and aligned the motorcycle with newer emission norms.

The CB300R was powered by a 286 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine producing 30.7 bhp and 27.5 Nm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox equipped with assist and slipper clutch. Moreover, one of the USPs of the CB300R was its kerb weight. At 146 kg, it was one of the lightest offerings in its class.

The CB300R never managed to break into the mainstream. Its initial premium pricing, limited availability, and growing competition from more aggressively priced rivals made it difficult for the motorcycle to maintain momentum. The motorcycle's last recorded price was Rs 2.19 (ex-showroom) pre-GST revision.
