2 years with my 300R and I still love it. I remember people telling me "you'll get bored of this bike quickly". They were dead wrong. This bike STILL turns heads wherever I go.
Brand new rider here. Just bought the 2022 CBR300r. I just hit the road& freeway for the first time this yesterday morning. I was riding about 76mph in 4th gear and I felt out of control. It was very very windy where I was at. Other than that I really enjoyed my first ride. I stalled on the streets 3 times. I haven’t quite figured out how to roll out from a stop light yet lol
Bro I’ve been ridin a cbr300r for 3 years now if I’m going 70 I’m in 6th gear..I’ve noticed so many people shift so late..it’s crazy to me because I shift up like every 8 mph and reach 6th gear by 37 mph..I shift when the motor gets loud and sounds under pressure. Have I been shifting too early all these years lol?
@@drapermike you can shift much later. Every 8 mph is pretty quick. I’ve pulled 3rd gear up to 50mph. Just gotta start getting comfortable taking it into the high rpm’s.
@@a124as yeah I have to count my gears in my head since there’s no indicator. Hitting 6th gear, for me, is like in the 90 something miles an hour and I haven’t gotten comfortable with that yet. I don’t have a license yet. I have to ask my 1SG to put me in course. I taught myself what I could to get on and ride but I still need help with rev matching and shifting smoother.
16 years of driving a car and over 250k miles and now i decided to get into riding. I can’t get rid off the “riding in the middle of the lane” issue when i drive my bike lol i subconsciously do it and i know i need to stick either on the left or right of the lane to be seen. Btw i got the same black CBR300R 2018 model with less than 1k miles and i love it
I also have a CBR300R. It runs about 150km/h / 93m/h topspeed on the Autobahn. It might run a bit faster with someone lighter riding it. I'm 5'11" and about 210lbs.
I'm surprised by how decent this bike is on the interstate. It handles well. Just sits at quite the high rpm which I personally wouldn't want to have it at for an extended period of time.
I have a CBR250R I'm actually around 75 - 76mph @ 8k. I weight 180lbs. Also tucked. All stock except k&n air filter, and a leo vince slip on. Thanks for the video.
Great ride man! I chose the CBR300R when I took my two day MSF course. What a fun little bike! It's so lightweight! My bike felt like a tank when I got home and rode it after lol. I think I'm going to change out my sprockets so the rpm's are lower in my gears on my Suzuki GSX650F... Bone stock, verified via GPS, at 60 mph in 6th gear, my bike is screaming at 5,300 rpm's! Most sportbikes are at 4,000 or lower rpm in 6th at 60. My 650 is a big bike weighing 531 pounds wet, and has a 12,500 rpm redline with it's 86 HP / 46 LB-FT... I still get 50+ mpg on the highway, and it has a large 5.0 gallon tank... Going with taller gearing would probably get me well over 300 miles a tank, plus less vibration and noise from it's 656cc Inline-4. Anyway, thanks for posting this! I gave it a like, and I'll subscribe after this comment. Safe travels man, -Chris
I see this video is a few years old, but I recently purchased a CBR300R. I've been riding, on and off, for over 30 years, and wanted something to commute with occasionally. This bike is fun to ride. It has plenty of power for what I use it for. Mostly city, very little highway. Thanks for the video!
Nice video. I started out on a ninja 250 and wanted to upgrade to that Honda 300 So bad, A Sportster fell into my lap though so I bought it. I will still buy a Honda because my car is a Honda and I love it! I am now looking at getting that CB650R cafe racer or CBR600RR.
I have a 2011 CBR250R and the only vehicles that "push" me when they drive by are big trucks. I've owned a 2017 Ninja 650 and now a 2007 ZX6R. For highways I love my ZX6R but city rides? the CBR all day! I'm '5"9 at 160
This was my first bike and it's the perfect beginners bike . I now ride a 2012 Kawasaki Vulcan and I love it ..still miss the nimbleness and flickability of the Honda 300ra...
I will be picking up a 2018 CBR300R monday, was wanting to see a bit more on how the bike rides, and it seems to be fine. I'm a new rider, just licensed, but this bike should be great for what I need and is still powerful enough for interstate rides. Thanks for the video. Also what state are you located in to have a Casey's? I've never seen a motorcycle video on RUclips with a Casey's in it, but I have a lot of them around me, and they are going to be my main gas station stops when I finally get on the road.
Your engine on your bike is the same as on the Honda Rebel; Yes? You're doing 70+ on the Interstate and it seems fine to me...I'd be doing 60-65 myself; It is a "thumper", but Your 70mph seems OK to me. If You need to push it a little sometimes; Well, so be it...I'm interested in Your bike type; I'm 65 years old, and I still want to ride...
They dont mind high rpms, just keep an eye on the oil level because she will loose a smidge on the highway because of the high revs. As long as it has oil, it will be ok.
Isn't there a verse that goes like, "He will give His angels charge over Thee and protect Thee in all thy ways"...(That aside, I say, "Don't try to outrun Your Guardian Angels; Use common sense when you ride...A-Men!!

Nice Bishop. I love that CBR300r. I can forgive any drawbacks the displacement has. Honda just knows refinement; even in their 300 class.
I also have a CBR300R. It runs about 150km/h / 93m/h topspeed on the Autobahn. It might run a bit faster with someone lighter riding it. I'm 5'11" and about 210lbs.
Oh that’s cool to hear! Must be fun being able to go on the Autobahn

Absolutely not
swap the front sproket to a 15t instead of the 14t original.
this will calm down the revs @ 70mph
Biggest regret for me waa selling the cbr300 I have a gsxr750 now but its not as fun as the little cbr
I have a CBR250R I'm actually around 75 - 76mph @ 8k. I weight 180lbs. Also tucked.
All stock except k&n air filter, and a leo vince slip on.
Thanks for the video.
Nice ride, love the thumpers, sound and feel different.
I usually do a full tuck position on my cbr300r on the highway unless in heavier traffic. Fun

i road my 15 300 45 minutes 80+ with a top speed of 92 on the highway to work at 5 am. i weigh 240 and im 5 foot 10. stock bike as far as i know.
How was that ride ?
me personally i own a cbr300r n hit interstate i agree it is windy jus on certain days tho, and i’ve topped mine out at 97
do you still ride yours? I have one too and im thinking about switching the windscreen. I'm debating on Puig-Z or the Zero Gravity Double Bubble
@@markcasco9468i do! i haven’t changed anything in it
Nice video. I started out on a ninja 250 and wanted to upgrade to that Honda 300 So bad, A Sportster fell into my lap though so I bought it. I will still buy a Honda because my car is a Honda and I love it! I am now looking at getting that CB650R cafe racer or CBR600RR.
The cbr300r i bought had a sprocket upgrade. Front 1 tooth up, rear 1 down. Indicated 74mph is 7000rpm
Fascinating. Thanks for the tip.
Nice video! Ride safe!!
Good looking bike and thanks for the video. Can you see anything behind you in those mirrors? They look useless.
I have a 2011 CBR250R and the only vehicles that "push" me when they drive by are big trucks. I've owned a 2017 Ninja 650 and now a 2007 ZX6R. For highways I love my ZX6R but city rides? the CBR all day!

I bought a 2021 CBR 300r and road it from San Diego to Tampa the next day.
that's a pretty quick ride from san diego to tampa lol
I got back pain just reading this comment lol

Congrats on getting a new bike! I’m in Iowa so Casey’s are all around!
Thanks for this!!
I just picked up a honda vtx 1300 for a steal and was thinking about trading it for a sport bike. Now I know to stay away from 300's!
Good video bro

I've never rode a bike before and was thinking about getting a 300 but people keep telling me a 600
Get what you want, believe me, it won’t be your last bike.. just get one you want to ride, and can ride..
@@mr_wrx.4616 wrote this when I had got my first r6 I already got another 1. Love it!
I ride a Kawasaki 140cc dirt bike but I'm waning a bike like that, so I don't have to buy a car
The engine noise would dry me krazy . Will it hurt the engine riding long distance on the freeway at 70 mhp ?
I would imagine over time it does yes. I don’t know for a fact tho.
Nahh it’s good. That’s how Honda rolls
Just did 3 hours of riding on my cb300f and was around 8k most of the time and I’ve been riding it like that for 4 months or so now. No issues yet.
They dont mind high rpms, just keep an eye on the oil level because she will loose a smidge on the highway because of the high revs. As long as it has oil, it will be ok.
Hondas last for ever, just keep up with the fluids
What year is this?
