Engine and Performance
The Honda CB300R was powered by a 286cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that puts out 30.7 bhp at 9000 rpm and 27.5 Nm of torque at 7500 rpm paired with a 6-speed gearbox with a multi-plate wet clutch and a programmed fuel injection system.
Chassis and Features
Built on a diamond-type frame, the CB300R had a kerb weight of 146 kg and a 9.7-litre fuel tank. The motorcycle used 17-inch alloy wheels and tubeless tyres (110/70 front and 150/60 rear). Braking duties were handled by a 296mm front disc and a 220mm rear disc, supported by dual-channel ABS with an inertial measurement unit (IMU). Suspension setup included upside-down front forks and a 7-step adjustable rear monoshock. Standard features included LED lighting and a digital LCD display.
Past Recall and Possible Return
In April 2025, Honda recalled CB300R units manufactured between 2018 and 2020 due to a defect in the printed circuit board inside the headlight. The issue could cause the headlight to flicker or stop working. While some dealers have hinted at the possibility of a facelifted version returning to India in the future, Honda has not issued any official statement on the matter.
