Do you believe that the Honda CBR would have made more sense than the CB300F?
Excellent funny humorous practical Dhanil Bhai style review, superb all points covered , thanks for saying on road prices in all the reviews , cheers bro
I think its high time that respectable auto journalists like you guys need to roast honda's arrogance towards the Indian market. CB series bikes are now overrated and saturated. We need the CBR series pronto
Yes at this price 2.29L CBR 300 would make more sense
Yes CBR has More sense than CB 300 F
Hell yeah
Rusting on exhaust pipe for such a new bike shows build and paint quality.
You told simple facts and truth about the motorcycle.
No hype or false advertising ! 👍🏻😇
This guy is seriously reviving motorbeam at this point. Hats off to the review❤️
I can see the disappointment on the dhanil's face at the end while saying "this is not the 300 we're looking for " .
True!
So much of rust near the engine area.. Shocking for a Honda.
Nothing shocking
Honda motorcycle metal parts start rusting and plastic parts colour fade
Honda is too much overhyped
@@littleboy7803 but still for a brand new bike it's not right.
@@littleboy7803 Does not happen with their international models.
It's mud
@@kguygo look closely. It's rust
Eagerly waiting for Activa 7G now, just for the fun of disappointment. :')
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.
Facts
slipper shot reply.
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 don't think Honda has a BS6 250cc engine any more. 300 is their latest BS6.
@@digitalsidequest yes they don't have any 250 cc segment bikes any more. They only have CBR300R, CB300F. Recently I bought the Honda CB300F. 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.
what u enjoy the most? A good low-mid range grunt which let u wheelie at no time or a top speed?
great review, thanks mate
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
Yamaha XSR 155 would have been really good for Indian marlet
Yes it's expensive and all of that, but man the design is just amazing. No unnecessary fuss or complicated lines. For me this is the best looking 300cc right now.
this 24hp cb300f does 0-100 in 8 seconds while 30hp ktm 250 does 0-100 in 8.5 seconds 🤣
so much for all these stupid ktm,bajaj lover crybabies calling it underpowered 🤣
@@Moonlight-hq3gi yeah both 0-60 and 0-100 this thing is a monster! I don't know who started saying this underpowered it is no way underpowered. In tractibility it's far better than KTMs 3-4gear 30-40 you easily move. KTMs will choke! But only thing that this lacks is the highway performance. 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
Great review guys!
I think the good old CBR250R's performance, refinement and braking was far superior than this confused product.
And CBR250R came to India in 2012.... Imagine that !
Combined ABS was something else
Cause CBR 250R was an international model
And this piece of shit is only for Indian market
Because Indian people are over obsessed with CC not true power & performance
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!!!
Except for cb350/350rs, their strategy for Indian bike market is sub-par 🤦.
Coming to motorbeam , your reviews are the most practical and simple among Indian bike review channels. Great job 👍🏼
I will go for N250 almost same power figures at 1lakh less.
I think the console here is just phenomenal, the tachometer placement and neatness of the cluster is superb, even though the the bike itself is meh.
Copied from the CB/CBR650 & CB/CBX/CB500R with slight changes.
@@lalrintluangavanchhawng7483
Are those Yamaha?
Same thought here, although I do think it's a bit small
Genuine review of moto journalist hats off bro....👍👍👍👍
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❤❤.
Is it better than re hunter 350
@@shikharsingh1674 hunter is no where close to this beast. It is better in every way. Mileage performance or anything it is better.
@@GuptajiSmart so hey man how's the experience with the bike now? Can u give a long term review? Planning to buy this.
Thanks in advance
@@amithskumar1040 up till now there is no problem. Only servicing is done. You can consider this no nonsense machine.
I like these guys honesty .... Unlike others..!
Genuine review. Thank you.
Thanks for the Geniune Review
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.
Honda always gives what would help us on the real streets of India. They really don't care what the fans are asking lol. Although if they bring those bikes it would cost a lot more than their competitors.
Araey baiya😅 duke 200 is 50k lesser than this ...better than this both look wise , quality wise and power wise . Gixxer 250 is there , it's also a Japanese motorcycle at just 2.2L such a quality and powerful machine.....Don't know what honda is thinking about Indians 🤦🏻♂️
Utter waste bike
Anyone in right mind will go for rr310 instead of this. And just because of fairing on Apache are people going to ignore the rest of the facts. There is nothing like seriously nothing not even 1 thing in which you can say this bike is better than rr310.
@@harshvardhansinha correct
Whatever you said is 💯 ....such a honest and bold review .....pls honda watch this 🤦🏻♂️
@1:07 how in the world has it rusted so soon ? I get it that it's monsoon and the bike isn't great but Honda quality is always great.
It's not rusting. It's mud
@@Mohit-zn2rn I don't think so
@@user-xn1ld2hi1u even my hornet 2.0 was like that but it got cleaned after
@@Mohit-zn2rn bro I don't get it?
How do they give such a bike for reviewing?
And do the film city had that much mud?
@@user-xn1ld2hi1u you should see the review of cb300f by fuel injected... he has shot the video in dusty/muddy region. You should see there
Its a sensible bike , balance between performance and mileage, maintenence
I own a cb300r bs6 since march22, trust me its d most underrated bike in 300 category… i dnt know why u guys didnt review it 🤔 i find it “formidable” enough to represent honda bigwing in d 250-300 naked segmnt, and I totally agree with the fact that this cb300F wasn’t really needed 😃 they cud js bettr d cb300r or as u sed come up with the faired version
Can u gv me ur number . Even i hv booked
this 24hp cb300f does 0-100 in 8 seconds while 30hp ktm 250 does 0-100 in 8.5 seconds 🤣
so much for all these stupid ktm,bajaj lover crybabies calling it underpowered 🤣
cb300r is really underrated
just because of it's higher price
people are saying 390 is vfm
in reality a little honda cb300r with 31hp and weighing under 150kgs does 0-100 in 6 seconds
while 40hp plus ktm 390 does in 5 seconds
only 1 second difference in 0-100
286cc vs 373cc difference
Guys, could you help me out with the average that you're getting on your cb300r? Planning to go for one, but two things are bothering me, the fuel tank, and average. Could do with the really small tank, but cannot find any trustworthy numbers on average. Company claims 30kmpl, but some users stating 35-38kmpl is also possible if riden at lower revs. Is that true?
which will perform better, gixxer 250 vs honda cb 300?
Honest review.
4:31 Going yen yen yen yen yen is exactly what a bike should sound like🙂👍
The price at which they have launched they could launch a fully faired variant of this, which would make a lot of sense. Since CBR 250 honda hasn't had a fully faired bike in this price range.
It could have been a good alternative to the gixxer 250 SF.
But Honda be like,
" ye Indian buyers hai kuch bhi le lenge Honda hai isliye"
Gixxer sf 250 is best and at par with cbr 250r
They made a completely new engine just for this bike, I think more bikes will come to India with this engine, maybe a fully faired of this version in the future? Or an ADV?
@@sushantdutta8707 true in future may be adventure or faired but the price point for a naked is too high. Further the adventure or faired variant will be cost 20-25k more , it will fall in price bracket of tvs RR310. The price what it is launched u get a Duke 250.
Plus the honda refinement is missing on this motor as review suggest.
U get a similar spec oil cooled bike from suzuki for 50k less.
@@riteshmalvankar7230 i don't know what to say about the price, even the r15 v4 costs 1.9-2+ L nowadays. The price could have been better but it's Honda, they'll always charge a premium that's why only a certain section of customers buy honda (apart from scooters).
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.
Should I go for it now with almost 64 k discount??
nice Video!🔥
Thumbs up :)
Dhanil : why are you checking the bike
Uncle.: my rider instincts kiked in yoooo
Now after huge prize cut can one buy this Honda cb300f over a Bajaj n250
Which one is more commuter friendly with comfortable/smoother shock absorber in rare
When will the Honda CB500x be coming to India?
i really confusing
whether i should go for it or wait for the hero xpulse and xtream 300
go for it at this moment and trade it later for xpulse300
I think its a great bike at this price
They could've used the hornet brake discs here, since they are the same size.
The most fun honda is the CB1000R but relevant to the price range, most fun honda is C300R which contains the neo-retro design perfection coupled with real power and agility!F's are a Flops in India which eventually honda converts into R as it happened with CB650F!
Can we expect a comparo where in you actually ride this and the competition back to back and give your thoughts on the same.
Everyone waiting for Yamaha XSR 155 & it's not launched by Yamaha in India. And nobody is expected Hornet 3.0 from Honda & they launched it..............ye ho kya raha hai? ??
The bike is very good if only it was priced 20 k less,I would have bought it over the Enfield.
Happy independence day buddy.
Spending 2.75 lacs on a motorcycle and cannot cruise at 120 is a shame ......
This guy did not talk about how smooth is the engine as honda is good at it.
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.
Now we can guess That CB300X will Launch In Future May Be ?
Hii sir.... I'm planning to buy a new bike....I have 2 bikes in my mind... I'm majorly confused between which one choose...Suzuki v-strom SX 250 or the Honda cb300f... Can u please suggest me the one best bike Between these two.....??
Go for cb 300f
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.
When it was launched, I also named it Hornet 3.0
My height is 5 feet 3 inch is it a comfortable choice for me
Finally apke review dekhke cb300f delivery leli.... 😘😘😘
is Honda releasing any new 350 cc bike?
I hope this unit soon available in Philippines
Dhanil finally I booked one today 😍
goods information bro.
It's good bike. I am also employee Honda company 🙂
Does the recent price cut of nearly 60K makes this a better proposition now?
yes now very vfm 🔥
50k right?
Is it a good buy now with year end 50k cash discount?
Why is such huge discount offered in such short duration of the launch? Anything seriously wrong with Engine or something?
I'm seriously looking forward to buying this one, so any help would be really helpful
Nothing wrong with engine or anything. Kawasaki is also offering some discounts on Ninja 300 and 650 I believe. Honda, Kawasaki and other brands do this all the time to clear older stock before bringing in the next year/updated models.
It's a steal of a deal. It's VFM now. I bought one with this offer last week. No regrets on my purchase. Brilliant machine. Suffices my requirement for a powerful city bike.
@@videorascals correct but it seems like Honda is going to drop the product from its portfolio. That's the reason I'm worried about after sales service and spare parts. availability.
@@biswaranjanpattanaya i am not sure if that's true but even it is dropped there is lot of parts sharing between cb300r and hornet 2.0 in this bike so spares won't be an issue. I had a conversation with the bigwing manager and he informed me that there might be a price correction in future and more products using the same engine without dropping this product from the portfolio. Only time will tell but since I already own a cbr250r which is already discontinued in the Indian market I am no stranger to spares unavailability. I don't find that much difficulty in finding spares so far.
@@videorascals the BigWing showrooms are just cosmetic changes in terms of look and feel of the showroom. Otherwise the staff is very very poorly informed about Honda or for that matter bikes in general. I know I'm being very harsh but there's no better way to put it. Talking about Bangalore BigWing showrooms.
Yep, its definitely rust. Else why would the plastic parts be clear?
Fuel tank can also be used as mini seat for our stomach 😀
Now that the price has dropped to about INR 1.7 L ex showroom, will it be a better option than say Gixxer 250 ?
Yes bro..better mileage, great engine refinement, better service centre, usd forks & almost 15k less price than gixxer
This is the perfect bike for me. Duke 250, the looks is not for my age group. Gixxer 250 i feel numb on my right hand and its not fast enough on a city while overtaking especially on our place that is hilly area. I had driven this bike for about 30 minutes and i feel comfortable and faster than Gixxer 250.
One thing we r missing from honda - Aluminum swing arm
Honest Review. U R Right. this is not the 300 we were looking for. This is just a Junk.
4:30 bruhh 😂😂
Now Honda has completely disrupted the game with brining it on road for 2 lakhs. It is a very good buy at that price.
Wo Activa bananewala company ka naam kya tha bro....
Is it rust???😮
Though duke 250 is vfm compared to hornet 3.0
I still remember that fan boi video when Dhanil bhai said "It's like Hoooondaaaa".... But in this review can clearly see disappointed on your face..
Honda is reliable..... The engine that they produce is awesome.
I don't think its a good decision to choose this bike at the price range of 270k but if u want fresh and new looks then definitely it is for you..
Range indicator available hai...????
No range
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
CB300R based CBR may costs upto 3L exshowroom.. Even CB is 2.8L..
Yeah bro very jenuin review
Waiting for cbr 250rr
Not exciting but it still will sell well
Top speed is my priority.
If it's a 300cc, it MUST touch 150kph. If R15(150 cc) and Gixxer(250 cc) can do that, why not these bikes ?
I'm excluding the cruisers from this discussion...
Bajaj,ktm and re are the only companies working for the people's need
TVS too
bhai gajab beijatti kar di
reminds me the sound of my karizma
Up down exit and enter not up down left and enter 😂😂
Fun fact: Honda CB300F is around 60k cheaper now
Yes, lots of cost cutting but a huge selling price. Very costly. People would go for KTM Duke 200 at this price point.
The engine of Honda is no match with ktm's engine, but for a short period of time ktm's are great
Took a test ride today ..
Rides good, Sitting position great
But quality issues are just un ignorable..
Plastic used is not just very cheap but fitting is also poor, & paint was removing from almost every part that is painted!!
Seriously Honda???
For 2 lakhs *it is* vfm
My personal bet is on Ronin
I've never seen the quality in a 1.75 L bike.
I'd be happy seeing more people paying attention to what job tvs has done with the Ronin.
Honda should've done some efforts in CB300F rather using Hornet platform. I mean why should someone spend 2 Lakhs+ if you can buy exactly same bike with few less horses at ~70k-80k less🤣🤣. 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. So many people bought 800 and some barely some people bought K10. And later K10(old) was discounted
Honda: How to sabotage yourself 101
gixxer 250 or cb300f ..?
I drove them both and i choose Cb300f. Its faster on the road
Compare with D250, Gixxer 250, pulsar
What i feel is fz25 make more sense to me..
They should put this engine in the 200x and give it a 19" front.
Definitely they will do that and name it as 300x.
does make sense.
Man that Tyre is getting huge, do something 😇.
In international market even 250cc bikes gets inline4 but in india a 300cc with oilcooling that makes less power than 250cc bikes sad reality. Next time i wont be suprised if honda launches a 600cc bike with air cooled engine
CB500F(altu), oil-cooled parallel twin making 38hp/32Nm for the low price 4.5L (ex-showroom)
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..........
Fz series started the trend of naked muscular bike and this was copied by honda CB series
Ok badiya
I must got this bike hornet 160r owner last 4 year honda is best
350RS is more fun (and cheaper too)
nope
this thing is a lighter bike and handles better
cb350 and cb350rs are vfm and has good aesthetics.. it's a better tourer
but not even same performance as this cb300f
fyi
50k price cut now
It would have been better if they launched a cbr
Massive price slashed
5 reasons why someone shouldn't buy gixxer 250 instead of cb300f
Need for gixxer 250 update
