I just bought a new 2021 and love it. I have been riding for 40 years and have ridden all kinds of two wheelers. Now that I am close to 70 and arthritis makes things harder, it is a perfect bike for us older guys. Plenty of power, and light as a feather. I love it!
I have this bike and love it. However, when I'm coasting in the lower gears it is a bit jerky. Especially when going down hill. Is this normal? Thank you
I've had my CB300R since March 2019, 8300 miles. The tight, twisty canyon roads of Malibu are only minutes away so I never have to get on the freeway. Funny, in more than two years I have never seen another one on the road. I can't figure out why, it's such a good bike. It's probably the unkillable prejudice about small displacement motorcycles. The motor has plenty of grunt, it's not your father's 300. I had to choose between the Duke 390, Svart/Vit 401, and the CB300R. I went with the Honda and I'm still glad I did. To my eye it is the best looking of the three by far.
It's a cool looking bike and most of the riders don't get it that you can still do 80MPH on CB300R without touching the redline. So it's not about CC's. It's about what you can do with that power ;)
I'm kinda prejudiced against one cylinder engines after having my arse vibrated into oblivion doing long trips on a CB125F for a few months. That's why I went for the inline-4 CB650R instead. Otherwise, I agree, this thing looks gorgeous and I'm sure she's a bucket of fun in the twisties ;)
I don’t know if anyone has pointed this out for you yet, but running 91 or even 93 octane gas won’t actually give your engine more power unless the engine is specifically tuned to delay the ignition timing when running higher octane gas. The advantage of the higher number gas is that it is less likely to detonate from heat and compression which allows the engine to more safely delay ignition time with less risk of knock. This is why many higher powered sports cars will require 91 or 93.
In CA we can't get anything over 91 at the pump unless you go to the racetracks and pay $9.99/gal for 95-100 octane. Higher octane does help to lower engine temps when you run extremely hot outside and most of the bike engines would require you to run Premium gas due to high compression ratio. Thanks for watching! Subscribe for more!
@@LiveFEEDNow the only way a higher octane gas would run cooler would be if your engine was experiencing detonation on the lower octane. Higher octane is harder to ignite, but it still has the same energy levels. (To run cooler it would need to have lower energy, otherwise where did the energy go?)
Agreed, I have a CB300 as my first bike, so glad I picked this bike, wonderful first bike and I can ride this for a while before I feel I need to upgrade, it’s an amazing handling nimble bike, great engine, and looks like a $10,000 bike !
Thanks for watching. I believe there are two types of riders. First would pick the right bike like CB300R and slowly explore. Second would buy the most powerful, heaviest, (won't call names but let's say Busa) and after first crash (since it's too much to handle) they would quit. We should do a video like "beginners guide". I have a lot that I want to cover especially gear and how you should buy it before you move forward with your bike purchase.

Great commuter bike, I'm not a beginner and this bike is a lot of fun. It does everything perfectly, it's a big Grom. Always use 91 octane, the CB is often above 8,000rpm. It will do 8,000 plus all day long.
as a cb300r owner with 10k miles since may 2019 (but i use only in summer due to climate here) the best but simple mod possible is put the +1 front sprocket, tachometer become much more accurate and engine less buzy at high speed

Interesting review. Your concerns about California freeway speeds are overdone! I rode a CBR250RR for a couple of years (50K miles accumulated) at those speeds and higher, sometimes into the 90's (in disturbed air, doesn't make enough power to do that on its own) for 100 miles/day. In Arizona, summer temperatures at commute time will reach 118 deg F reliably if not routinely. Good quality oil appropriately rated, and the Teflon inserts Honda puts on the thrust faces of the piston seem to do their jobs. Even after spending a commute at 80-ish mph, the engine was not terribly hot to the touch. Also not terribly buzzy compared to my Kawasaki 650 Ninja. Neither one vibrates more than enough to let you know there is an engine aboard!
I'm conflicted. I want this motorcycle, but I also want an easy to park bike like the scoot scoot that I have where I can leave it on the front of a building and no one will bat an eye on.
I've got a Guzzi myself, but these bikes are super impressive. You get a ton for your money here. Love the lights and the dash, the gold forks are a nice touch too. Honda really knocked this out of the park, and all for 5k with a warranty. You can barely get a beater car for 5k any more

Extremely thorough. Thank you for the insight my friend. Bought this bike recently and not having much experience on two wheels this kind of insight is incredibly helpful and makes me feel confident about my purchase.
Great buy! Don't jump from this bike to anything but Ninja 400. I happen to own a number of fast bikes but that's my track toy and I'm only 1 sec slower on Sonoma, Laguna Seca, and Thunderhill with my Ninja 400 vs 2020 R6.

I'm 5'6 woman and weight around 68kg. I find this bike is fun to ride for beginners. I haven't ride for more than 7 years, so considered myself back to beginner. Had an a knee operation recently, due to meniscus tear so this light nimble bike is a plus point. Agree, the exhaust is hideous, would want to change to akrapovic yet now our regulators are going for modified bike particularly on exhaust. Has to put the idea on hold for awhile.
I have yet to hear an exhaust on these things that sounds better than stock. There’s plenty that are louder, but they don’t make the music the stock system does coupled with the intake note. I own one and I’m not changing it. To each their own of course.
have a cb300r and ride it at 110km/h or about 66mph and it's very happy at that speed.. I do hundreds of kms on weekend trips and it barely even turns on it's fans when I do stop.. only after more than an hour at that speed will the fans even pop on.
Definitely can. Of course the max speed achievable is not so high. Last summer I made 3 rides on highway 400 km in one way and it was OK. My top speed was 150, but most of the time the speed I have was around 110-130. I case of accelerating I had no problem passing cars, trucks, etc.
Depends where you live. In CA speed limits will be higher and it means it might not be the ideal solution for freeways. In other parts of the country it's more than you will ever need. It can do 85 MPH. First 3 gears will be fairly quick!
@@LiveFEEDNow Yep, you are right. My measures ware metric of course just to clarify. So I think even for 140 km max speed it does the job. But of course this max speed can take faster bikes 🙂
Still getting accustomed to my first bike, an MT03. I wonder if the CBR300 throttle is less "snatchy". It still sometimes causes me to drive less than smoothly at low speed/low gears.
I own a cb300r and I can say that the bike feels really good in slow speed when you drag the rear brake slightly. Throttle response is fantastic and it feels so nimble to ride around.
I never rode a motorcycle but I always wanted to get in. I don't need power, a commuter would be nice. I love the design of this bike. Thinking of commuting from pahrump to Vegas every so often
Agree with all you said. I love my CB300R here in the UK. I've been riding around 35 years. I'm 55 now. Had lots of bigger bikes over the years. This bike gives me lots of smiles to the gallon. Great fun in the higher revs and enough torque from 3000 rpm to zip around town. Owned my CB300 for a year and 5000 miles. Not bored yet. Agree about the exhaust but I think the catalytic converter is in there? Great review, I'm subscribed 👍
I have this bike and love it. However, when I'm coasting in the lower gears it is a bit jerky. Especially when going down hill. Is this normal? Thank you

Bingo. Be nice to do away with the beginner bike silliness. P.S. I have one. Almost 40 years of riding behind me but always learning, and this bike is teaching me things. Oh and the CBR300R setting lap records at tracks. And I think the CB300R has the better hardware.
Hopefully when they make the CB400R, it will have a 270 degree parallel twin with 35 hp and 35 tqs. It will sound better, have better torque and less vibration.

Is this really not good for the highway commute ? My ninja 250 used to be fine even on two hour stretches of 70mph roads. It would touch 105 on the clock so 70 was no problem. I'd have thought this would do 95 at least, making 70mph not so taxing. Or are people just scared to rev their bikes these days
Hi, It will do over 70MPH but it does defeat the purpose of a small CC engine that offers great MPG. If you legally can go over 70MPH on freeway 600cc would work better. Not about revving the engines but more about keeping the heat down and gas mileage reasonable while commuting. Thanks again for watching our video.

That's probably the first part you should drop to make it faster :D Honda has specific versions for each region. For example there is special CA version if you buy one here to meet CARB standards. For other states beside CA (and that's the one we're riding in our review) you will have lighter exhaust system. For Euro-4 you will have another bike with another exhaust/tune on it. To summ up they look the same but it will be different tune/exhaust for each region/state/country.
More like a commute or long distance? It could have toller 6th gear. Not the best for CA freeways where most of the people average 70-80 mph since it will be close to the redline doing 80mph. Will be totally fine for touring if you won't load too much stuff and you're not planning to take 6-8h rides. It's "neo-sports-cafe" after all :D
I love this bike so much the looks are so much my style , but I'm torn between this and the kawasaki z400. The only reason I would even consider the z400 is because of the little more power on the highway ( I honestly think it's kind of ugly looking ) .but im honestly only going to ride on the highway maybe an hour a week ,I mostly need a back and fourth to work commuter . But these days in America they make power everything ....please help what do I do????? ..I don't want to regret my first new bike purchase ..cb300r or z400 thanks guys

It's not about "how it looks". It's more about practicality and if you have fun riding this bike. In our view about 75% of the people buy their next motorcycle for "looks" when they can't really handle power/weight and should look for something more "suitable".
You can replace it with literally removing two bolts and using basic tools. Slip-ons will be cheap and quick solution. I'm sure it will sound awesome since even on the stock pipe you can (barely) hear some crackers.
Es una hermosa moto, pero, muy corta, no es cómodo para un pasajero, es una moto muy individual, y la velocidad final parece que estuviera amarrada... :(

nice review! I think I'm going to pull the trigger on one soon. sweet helmet too
Thanks for watching. I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as we did.
What type of bag did u have on the bike?? It looked cool!!
It’s to small of a bike for a tall rider… why can’t they make a 399cc twin with 50hp bike with a 58” wheelbase and 32” seat under 400pounds.

The exhaust is so large because the bike is sold worldwide and it had to meet the Euro-4 emission specs. 😉
That's probably the first part you should drop to make it faster :D
Honda has specific versions for each region. For example there is special CA version if you buy one here to meet CARB standards. For other states beside CA (and that's the one we're riding in our review) you will have lighter exhaust system. For Euro-4 you will have another bike with another exhaust/tune on it. To summ up they look the same but it will be different tune/exhaust for each region/state/country.
This is a great review, thank you.

I'm 5.7.and 108k
Do you Think it's to small
Can you enjoy with this if touring?
More like a commute or long distance?
It could have toller 6th gear. Not the best for CA freeways where most of the people average 70-80 mph since it will be close to the redline doing 80mph.
Will be totally fine for touring if you won't load too much stuff and you're not planning to take 6-8h rides. It's "neo-sports-cafe" after all :D
I love this bike so much the looks are so much my style , but I'm torn between this and the kawasaki z400. The only reason I would even consider the z400 is because of the little more power on the highway ( I honestly think it's kind of ugly looking ) .but im honestly only going to ride on the highway maybe an hour a week ,I mostly need a back and fourth to work commuter . But these days in America they make power everything ....please help what do I do????? ..I don't want to regret my first new bike purchase ..cb300r or z400 thanks guys
@LiveFEED
I have this bike and love it. However, when I'm coasting in the lower gears it is a bit jerky. Especially when going down hill. Is this normal? Thank you
The MT03 is the better bike
good review, maybe ill see you on hwy 9 some time
You sure will :D That's my favorite route since all other routes a bit bumpy. Psss CHP/Sherif during the week shows up after 2:30-3PM :D

Bro I know exactly where that is at 1:34 I think me and you live by each other in California
That’s concord, California no cap
Prob with these bikes is that they're physically small so if you're over 150lbs/5'6" you'll look like a bear on a monocycle.
It's not about "how it looks". It's more about practicality and if you have fun riding this bike. In our view about 75% of the people buy their next motorcycle for "looks" when they can't really handle power/weight and should look for something more "suitable".
No. 6’ 175lbs. Really comfortable. Oh, how I look. Have no idea.
Bro will the 2021 version CB 300r launch in India 🤧🤧pls tell
Sorry we don't know your market. If anything related to US we can even get the answers directly from Honda.
@@LiveFEEDNow thank you 💕
Great bike but that exhaust ruins it
You can replace it with literally removing two bolts and using basic tools. Slip-ons will be cheap and quick solution. I'm sure it will sound awesome since even on the stock pipe you can (barely) hear some crackers.
Stock exhaust great. Couples with induction. Sounds so good.
@@stevewelebny2749 The stock exhaust does sound good.
How tall are you? I'm 5'9
What is your height?
Hi, 6'2
Es una hermosa moto, pero, muy corta, no es cómodo para un pasajero, es una moto muy individual, y la velocidad final parece que estuviera amarrada... :(
Smaller displacement has this seat only for cargo/bags or short ride around the town. Yes they could make the 6th gear a bit taller.
I drive on that road all the time
fr, i was like...wait a minute
You want the single letter ride in a small bike like this; EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The motorcycle is great,I inspired so,I also sent LIKE👍 I know, We are HONDA lover
