Make that 110 mpg (uk gallons) on these. That’s what I get easily on my 2019 Cb300r. Brilliant bike. 5500 miles this year and never let me down once. Tax and insurance are very cheap with the cb300r. Only things I’ve needed are a new front tyre and battery after 10000 miles. Back tyre is hardly worn. Thinking of going for a new Hornet 500 but I’m not sure. I may regret selling. The new bike will be much heavier, cost more on insurance and tax and not quite as good mpg. I’ll also be paying out a further £4200 and be scared of scratching it. Sod that. Just talked myself into keeping it. Lol
I haven’t ridden the new hornet yet but if it’s the same engine as the rebel 500 and cl500 then it’s an amazing engine. Still get great mpg with just that little more power. It’s a Honda, it will never let you down 😂
Mega that mate. If it puts a smile on your face then it’s a winner in my book. Seems like a top bike. More pulling power that Fasty Rides in sunglasses, sandals and pink joggers 🎉
For zipping round and having fun this bike looks perfect but personally I prefer traditional styling and boring things like a centre stand hence I'm pretty gutted that they dont offer the cb125f with a bigger engine too. Given that the cb125f is so successful, a cb300f would a world beater imo.
I’m sure that you would be able to add a centre stand onto the bike but obvs at the cost to the customer. I agree the cb300f would be the perfect bike with the bar risers. And the better riding position.
Honda introduced a different bike to Asian and South American markets called CB300F, both not liquid cooled as cb125f mentioned above. The liquid cooled CB300F is a predecessor to the CB300R.
Great review, i loved mine it was a great little bike, really easy to manoeuvre especially in and out the garage, only reason i traded it in for my trident was i struggled to keep up with my mates when on more spirited rides and long motorway trips.
How do you find the trident? I just loved how much fun the ride was. You can have all the power in the world and not have a smile on your face. Not with this bike haha.
@@cartzwheels I find the trident very similar to be honest, obviously a bit heavier but not to much, it still gets called the kids bike as it's so much smaller than my mates bikes( Harleys ,tigers and GS) but apart from wind blast on motorways its perfect for me, especially as most of the riding we do is around the peak District.
@@The1977andi could get a screen for the bike to help with the wind? Well I hope you give as good as you get. Especially the GS and Harley riders haha.
Both amazing bikes but both completely different. All depends on what it is you intend on using it for. If you want green lanes ect then go for the CRF, but if your just going to be road riding go for this.
Bro, please don't take vehicles which doesn't has number plate for test drive nowadays a lot of scam is happening... Where the company first sells the vehicle to a person and before delivery if any new customer comes to take a test drive of the vehicle they give that vehicle for test drive, by doing so they don't have any headache because that vehicle is already sold. so we should also enquire about this before taking a vehicle for test drive, please make sure that the test drive vehicle has a registered number plate.
@@AbhiRam-nw9em any vehicle that I test ride has been registered and are the companies demo bikes for anyone to take out for a test ride. I wouldn’t test ride a bike that isn’t through a well established company.
Not that I noticed, but then again I didn’t have the bike that long and I was just having way too much fun on it to notice if it was or not. Sorry this doesn’t help much.
I’ve had mine for 3 weeks. Idk if you’re still looking at one. It doesn’t feel very viby to me. I drive about 50-65 for about 10-15 minutes at a time. My only complaint is that I live in a high wind areas and it gets up to 50-60 mph winds. I drive home one night and around 60mph it felt a little unstable. I am a new rider so I had never experienced high winds before so it was a little surprising.
im 19 and planning to get this bike later this year cuz i really really love it and glad to know it won u over :))) im about 6 foot and an inch so do u think it would suit my height? And also, i remember u saying its quite light but as a skinny person who finds it hard to balance a motorbike at still, would i find it a bit difficult?
@@wantedno7968 you will most prob do your CBT on a cb125f as most schools use them, but if your doing you test you will be on a bigger bike. There isn’t much difference between the bikes apart from the power difference (which isn’t a lot). Just enjoy being out on the road.
One of the best bikes I’ve ever ridden, and I’ve had the lot.
They are soo much fun. If I had room I’d defo buy one just for the smile factor it gives you.

@@cartzwheelsI know mate, so tempting isn’t it? New bike season.
@@japhyr7168 summer is only around the corner. I can’t wait for the long days in the saddle with like minded people.
I love how quickly that little thing won you over. It's like a 30hp 125.
It’s the small things that make me happy.
Enjoyed that one pal. Small bikes are tons of fun. Fasty
I could imagine us on tour with them. Barrel of laughs. Cheers dude.
A bike that makes you smile is a very good bike indeed, and I've just bought one :-)
@@andrewhayward2454 very true words
@@cartzwheels It's why we bike! Two-wheel miles = smiles. The simplest equation you'll never see in a maths book.
Mega that mate. If it puts a smile on your face then it’s a winner in my book. Seems like a top bike. More pulling power that Fasty Rides in sunglasses, sandals and pink joggers 🎉
Defo has more pulling power than fasty rides, but don’t tell him that. Tbh it would suit him down to the ground 😂🤣
Honda, bring CB300R to Brazil, please ! 🙏
Hopefully soon it will be. If it does you will have to let us know

Both amazing bikes but both completely different. All depends on what it is you intend on using it for. If you want green lanes ect then go for the CRF, but if your just going to be road riding go for this.
Wicked, I can imagine the smile. You could definitely do a nice tour on it. Should of shoved Kay on the back.
😂🤣 maybe in the near future I will be a pillion. That could be a funny vid

Looks a proper little cracking bike and so much fun too , as you said perfect for commuting, how would you compare it to the mighty Rebel?
The rebel is an amazing bike in its own way, rides amazing and handles beautifully. Just typical Honda for you.😂🤣
The clutch is very far out - so true. Is there anything we can do about that?
@@sankaranarayananh7957 you can adjust the clutch. There are plenty of vids on RUclips on how to do this yourself 👍🏻
@@cartzwheels Thanks! Is there an aftermarket clutch that you would recommend?
@@sankaranarayananh7957 it all depends on the person. Some people prefer short levers and others prefer long so it’s personal preference.
should i replace this new stock exhaust for my 2019 ver without remap?
That is your decision, but if your swapping exhausts I recommend having it mapped

lug the engine much? the cb300r is meant to be rode at 6k + rpm. took me 1000 miles to get that

You won’t find this bike difficult at all. So easy to ride and you will love it.
