I had the same bike couple of years ago and for some reason sold it. Picking up the same new bike tomorrow! But it’s a second bike. Primary bike is a triumph speed twin. So I think I have an excellent combination of bikes. I am up in Louisville Kentucky.
That’s an awesome bike, yeah the cb300 is great for running around town, just wouldn’t recommend it if you need to be doing 55mph+ for more than a few miles
Had the same problem with the headlight on my 2019 cb300r. It would do it more when it got warm. Usually first thing in the morning 5 mile ride to work it was fine but the ride home in afternoon it would do it. I bought a new headlight (not cheap) $300 almost, but it fixed the issue. No problems since.
Have the same bike. Purchased in Sept as well. Haven't observed any headlight flickering issues. Only issue I have observed in my case is occasionally getting stuck in gear while downshifting when coming to a stop. Happens randomly. Not sure why that is.
I appreciate your comment about too many moto vloggers but, I'm thinking more "philosophy" of motorcycle(s) is needed. I see a few attempts at motorcycle philosophy, but, usually it's just ego "guy-dude" BS. But, this aspect of the smaller bike. The argument is, it's more fun to have a small cc bike and drive it to it's limits. Than a 150+ HP and never get out of 2nd gear or even use the top 80hp(staying within legal speeds) ;) ha ha "Philosophy of Motorcycles"might be a new channel to watch for ;) ....I bought a Monkey and have regrets but, it's still a blast and I'm struggling with older age and health anyway. So, my feelings have been all over the place but, mostly good feelings. I'm finding the Monkey is probably the only thing I can handle. So, I'm stuck with small cc due to the weight of these new bikes and poor health has me weaker. So, thanks for sharing all your feelings and the test drive. I think I'm going to wait and work on getting in better shape and HOPE Honda really does release a CL500 Scrambler light weight retro bike(rumor). Or the CB500(r) (honda rumor release too) I need to stay near 400lbs and not 500+lbs, thanks again
I’m glad you liked it, I didn’t put a lot of effort into but will try to make more videos like that. Since making that one I’ve moved and bought a z125 but you can see by my most recent video, it didn’t go well. I’m hoping to get another bike like a small dual sport soon and making videos of the Reno area. Philosophy of motorcycles is an awesome idea! I’d like to expanded to philosophy of hobbies but we will see. I appreciate the ideas and I hope you’re able to to still enjoy your monkey, small bikes are fun and hope your health never has to hold you back
I’ve since sold it, was a very fun little bike but to get something brand new and have problems with something basic like a headlight, I’ll stick to the used rigs
You mentioned wanting something bigger ! A suggestion for a similar look XSR700 Yamaha! Check the Yammi noob video see what you think ! I'm seriously considering 1 when I my open license/ Unrestricted !
@@AussieAJK Another option you could look at if you like the preying mantis styling but want more power in a small single the ktm 390 duke 43hp although I'm Not sure if you might feel cramped ! I'm 6ft2 115kg and feel comfortable on the bike ! Great fun little power house of a bike !
@@vince38curious2 I’m a little shorter at 6ft0 but I think I might try to get either another old Japanese bike or really any scrambler, hope to be in the desert soon. Thanks though! I’ll keep those in mind.
will this bike sit comfortably at 70mph on motorway..? and nip up to 80mph for overtakes..? i really do not drive fast nowdays... and am considering downsizing...
It really struggles to hit 80mph, a fair amount of vibration at 70. Not really meant for cruising but it will do it, if you plan on cruising at that speed I’d check out the cb500
I have a CB300R 2021 I love it but I test road the Indian FTR carbon 2022 & that is a perfect upgrade. Ever since I can’t get it out my mind…lmao…Check it out if you haven’t.
I'd take the bike to an Auto Electrician and send the bill to Honda. You can't stuff around with these things, it's a safety issue. The bike is unroadworthy, you couldn't sell it in this condition. Put a top box on the back and use it as a shopping, utility bike. Great for filtering thru traffic. Always find a parking spot.
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it, I got them on eBay about $17 I’ll put the link for them in the description. The process is simple but one was a complete bugger getting out and the other was easy. Once you remove the factory bar end you have to use 2 flathead screw drivers and push down on the 2 tabs and pull the handle bar weight out.
@@AussieAJK yea there is no to way handle bar get out. I give up to attach end mirriors becouse of im not sure about when i get out these weighted bars. Do you have any solution or aproach for this, , mean keep bar wiegts..
@@Sam_problemz you can do it, I wanted to make a video on it but it would have been horrible, even though it was the same process I got one side out in about 5 minutes and the other side took well over an hour.
I'm still deciding if to get a CB or a rebel for my daily freeway commute. I'm a first time rider and want to keep it for a long time (my main goal is to get 4x4 body on frame rig, so need to save)
If you have a commute that involves going 55+ mph for more than a couple miles I’d say get a rebel or cb 500, if not just get whichever you like the looks of more. I sat on a rebel at a dealer before getting the cb and didn’t care for it.

That is quite a nice combo, Great for whatever you’re in the mood for!
Looks great. I have a 2021 zx6r but I'm looking into this as a second bike to put around town with. Love the way this bike looks
That’s an awesome bike, yeah the cb300 is great for running around town, just wouldn’t recommend it if you need to be doing 55mph+ for more than a few miles
Bought cb 300r on February 2020, I love it. I think its one of the best small bike one can get..
how is the bike doing after 3 months?
is it still in tip top shape?
Was personally thinking about getting it as a starter to learn on
Had the same problem with the headlight on my 2019 cb300r. It would do it more when it got warm. Usually first thing in the morning 5 mile ride to work it was fine but the ride home in afternoon it would do it. I bought a new headlight (not cheap) $300 almost, but it fixed the issue.

now THIS is what i call, simply EPIC
Quite a compliment from the most epic king himself👌👑
What you’ve got here is the Grom’s big brother
I have the same bike 2021 no issues with headlight only noisy chain.
The chain seems like a common complaint with these
I have the same bike, but no problems at all with the light or anything else.
That’s good to hear, mine has been great otherwise I’m sure it’s not a complicated fix
Enjoyed this video. Beautiful area you're in. Lol, I need a bell on my bike too.
Thank you! I’ll have a new one out tomorrow, and any bell or horn is a good laugh.
i subed cus u have a amazingly nice personality...good luck with your motorcycling

Wow that doesn’t sound too good, I haven’t had that from what I can remember. Hope it doesn’t bug ya too much
I rode one of these and I had the same problem, wouldn't get out of gear. Had to ride it around the block for it to work
@@anoojfunaid8863 - I have since had my clutch adjusted, and that appears to have remedied the downshifting issue.
DId you try to change motor oil? 5W30 with the highest possible API ratings.

Great video. Getting mine tomorrow.
My battery terminal was loose from trying to do wheelies. My dash would flicker
Dang that’s not good, ended up selling it but hope to buy something different soon
If I had a garage I’d buy a bigger bike & keep the 300. It looks fun even though it’s 286cc
I was gonna buy a cb500f and that's why i didn't, the headlight flicked out on brights every time .
I’ve since sold it, was a very fun little bike but to get something brand new and have problems with something basic like a headlight, I’ll stick to the used rigs
im going for a the big bro, a cb650r. You should check it out! that 4cyl sounds sooooo good
Can’t go wrong there those are super nice, especially with an exhaust
@@AussieAJK You know any slip ons for it? I found moriwaki but everything else seems to be a full sytstem
@@nightxiv9329 Nah, the way the 650 exhaust is makes more sense to do a full system since the muffler is underneath and not on the side
I'ld get a SXR 700 if gonna spend that much money .
You mentioned wanting something bigger !
A suggestion for a similar look XSR700 Yamaha!
Check the Yammi noob video see what you think !
I'm seriously considering 1 when I my open license/ Unrestricted !
Those are awesome, retro looking mt07! I hope I can find one near me. Hope you’re able to pick one up and ride the heck out of it!
@@AussieAJK Another option you could look at if you like the preying mantis styling but want more power in a small single the ktm 390 duke 43hp although I'm Not sure if you might feel cramped !

Aye Man I'm in Tennessee also. Not sure how far you are from me, but I'm in Cleveland.
I’m in Columbia about an hour south of Nashville
@@AussieAJK nice!!!

2112 your bike is a Rush fan
Is this something like a bigger version of the grom?
Technically no, but yes it’s a XL Grom
I have a CB300R 2021 I love it but I test road the Indian FTR carbon 2022 & that is a perfect upgrade. Ever since I can’t get it out my mind…lmao…Check it out if you haven’t.
The Ftr 1200 looks like an amazing bike! Glad you got to try it, thanks for the recommendation
@@AussieAJK Cool, I have a video of the test ride on my channel if you want to check it out.
Sure same price after all.
Was that a shoe review?
The audio was poor.

Thinking about getting the bar end mirrors for my cb300r. What kind did you get and were they hard to install? Thank you and great video!

What’s the link for the bracket mounting your GoPro to your helm?

Yea. They say a year warranty. Then they proceed to keep the bike for almost a month to look at it. Lol.
Where did you get the mirrors from please
They’re from eBay I put a link in the description
Can you put the link of the end mirrors please
Is your chain noisy? Mine is anoying.
Definitely, I tightened it around 1800 miles just to quiet it. I think that’s a pretty common thing with these, no idea why
I also dropped my bike in my driveway, it’s ok is was my assfault.
I like this bike. Made in Thailand. ?Build quality?
Build quality seemed very good except for the led headlight but overall really solid
Can it cruse and 65 comfortably ?
Yes, I think it was around 7k rpm in 6th gear at 65, mine shook a lot because I took the handle bar weights out to fit the mirrors
I love this bike

@@AussieAJK CB300R is good for 160kms (100mph) and will cruise at 110kms (70 mph) all day.

thank you subtitle to korea
Cb650r might be a good bike for you
