For sales and test ride : Honda BigWing Bengaluru East , goo.gl/maps/AbtsgAzasT2ZnLoU9
A dependable machine from Honda that's underrated. I have enjoyed 2000+ km in 2 months including fair amount of off-road and city traffic.
What about the vibrations bro
I got this at 2.05 lakh. For that cost, I felt it's better than ronin, fz25 and the hunter. Yes, you won't have eyes staring curiously at traffic signals but it's a brilliant machine. As strell said, headlight is horrible. But I was told the throw angle can be adjusted. And the bike is really tractable in the city. Higher gears low speeds and lower rpm is never a problem.. Haven't tested it on the highways yet
For the discounted price you can't complain. Also the poor headlight thing is now a problem in all bikes due to government norms.

Which BigWing dealer? & what's the offer you got in details pls
@@niranjanraikar3693 As far as I know, all BigWing dealerships were giving a 64000 rupees discount on both the models. Also, note that the discount was applicable on the 2022 year models.
@@niranjanraikar3693 the prices have gone up.. But I would say it's not bad as they claim in the reviews.
I own a CB300F, Making all sorts of useful videos related to necessary modifications and maintenance videos on my channel. I was sort of disappointed after watching strells video. then I took the test ride and found that the vibes are manageable, the vibes are mainly from the tank cover which is very thin. Honda is always bad in plastc quality. I got gel seal and grip cushions which eliminated the vibrations from grips and seats. I made the pillion seat wider and comfortable for my wife. Aux lights solved the lighting issue. and lots of useful mods done till date. Also use of XP95 petrol reduced the vibrations from the engine by a significant mergin. So yeah, it's a great bike with some minor modifications!!
have you installed any windshield for honda cb 300f ?
As a low compression engine it doesn't need 95 octane fuel and won't make any difference
Iam 300 f User, Kidly Send your number
from where did you obtain gel seat covers ?
I got this bike in January. I had previously booked cb 200x but the stock was not available & I had to wait for almost 2 months. Meanwhile honda declared massive discount on this bike. CB 200x on road price was 1.75 lacs & I got CB 300f for 2.03 lacs in bhilai, chhattisgarh. So, just by paying 30k extra I got the upgraded bike which I think is a great deal. Also, before first service during break-in period I got maximum mileage of 42 Kmpl & currently getting between 35-40 kmpl in all conditions. The engine was pretty vibey in the beginning but I feel it is slowly getting smoother in operation over the time.
I follow few channels for bike reviews and your channel is one of them. To the point and honest reviews. Well done and keep going. 😊👍🏼
Finally the review drops been waiting a long time for this.
I own a CB300F, I have never crossed 6K rpm and I have never felt any irritating vibes. Actually you need to understand the characteristics of the engine. It get maximum torque at 5.5K rpm. As per my knowledge torque is related to acceleration, shift at 6k rpm you will get pretty fast acceleration and at 6th gear you can comfortably cruise around 100Kmph. This is a very good city riding as well as a touring motorcycle. Certain things required for touring as I felt is the handle bar riser for a more upright sitting, seat cushioning and a front visor. It has a pretty good weight to power ratio and weight to torque ratio.
If you wanted a touring/city bike that was also had torque, you would get the FZ25 for less money , the new classic 350 with new smooth engine and gearbox combo , or the Gixxer 250 for the effortless mile munching. Stop trying to justify your purchase, say that you bought it because you like it and nothing else.
Simply you're telling to go SLOW??
@@nikhildrao227 why RE 350 which cruise at 90-100 like 200cc
@@mrwho.7163 have you ridden the new J platform bikes ? They are really good now , I myself don't own one as I have an R15 V4 but I appreciate the improvement RE has done
Mileage?
Before my first ride my kms was 70 only. And after 250 km with pillion between 70-80kmph I got 43 kmpl mileage before first service. But I was feeling vibration on bottom side of tank even at 70-80speed
Thank you! I was waiting for you to review this motorcycle. I've bought this at 2.06L in Thane which was a terrific deal. It has ample power for a newbie like me who mainly rides within the city. Very easy to ride as well.
Oh nice. For that price, its a steal deal.
I also got the same price and i am new too
Can you please share the dealership name and address. Even I am planning to buy one. And did you exchanged any old two wheeler with them?
@@mr_autovlogs where do live
@@marmikmehrotra3244 i live near mulund
Exact. To the point. Best review so far. Keep up bro.
# I have a video IDEA for you:
Make videos dedicated to each brand and talk about the entire line-up. The video should be focused on one brand - something like "Which XYZ bike you should buy".
This will help customers who have inclination towards a particular company to select their bike.
For eg, I love Honda bikes, but I am confused about the line-up especially in 200-300 cc segment. Additionally, you can talk about options from other brands, and make another video of that brand. If you are talking about Hornet 2.0, we have RTR 200 as an alternative. If it is about 200X, then VStorm is an alternative.
Im glad you reviewed this bike this would be a great bike if honda could getvthr pricing right
Can you fit centre stand in this bike, can't we expect high rpm vibrations to lessen after few thousand kms, what engine oil is being presently used in this bike, mineral, semisynthetic or fully synthetic.
Your video has so much quality . Wow❤❤💯
I was really hoping U would review it.I upgraded from 125cc to this Motorcycle. U know it feels very easy to ride because of the weight. I didn't even knew that I was going 75kmph in the city till I saw the speedo.
M also switched from 125 cc to this bike and agree with you
Which was your old bike?
@imstrell Are the engine characteristics of Honda CB300F similar to the Yamaha FZ25 ? If not what are the basic differences ?
I brought dlx pro red variant. Post 1st the bike service it got smoother and most vibration is gone now. They have changed the normal oil to synthetic. The ride is good in city and bought it 2.06 (effective price 1.50 since i sold my old bike). I think this is best value for money . However this bike is not perfect, i don’t think no one made a perfect machine so happy with it
What are the cons as per your experience ??
@@naveenparuuthi1868 most of the con i have faced is the honda character is missing, also suspension is not great
@@dheeraje.d8752 by honda character you mean smoothness and refinement or something else..
@@naveenparuuthi1868 It is not a typical refined honda machine . You don't feel it is honda
@@naveenparuuthi1868Is this vibrates like a duke 250 or Dominar 250?
I moved from hornet 160 to this..
Headlight is better thn that. only issue was low beam, it was too elevated that high beam was not effecting anything on the road. After adjusting it everything worked fine.
Second I needed adjustment in gear paddle. it was high.
I will say adding handle bar riser will give you ADV posture like Triumph Tiger
Waiting for continental and interceptor 650 2023 ride reviews
I hv been riding this from the last two months . Agreed with you regarding the engine vibration, which is quite surprising from the honda point of view .
Engine vibrations creep in after 80-90 kmph.
Only on the left side
Left mirror above 80 is vibrating too much that everything get blurred in it
Strell bro kore nalathe oru request ane dominar 400 the latest touring edition stock vandi kittuvanel onn review cheyyo
I don't know why Honda named it the CB300f.. in reality its a Twister 300 and should have revived the Twister nameplate in India.
The sitting posture is also exactly same like twister 110cc, even drives like twister ... 🥲
Yes it's a twister in other markets.
hey strell nice video, could you do review of the mt 15 dual channel abs & tcs verison please!
It was close to the end-limit of 4th gear at 103 km/h. It is the speed at which Suzuki’s 250cc engines (like v-strom 250) exit 3rd gear. Nor it is a heavy cruiser with low-end grunt. Why did Honda make this bike?
A road touring version of this maybe a good idea. A CB300X of sorts, just like how CB200X is to the Hornet 2.0
I was also thinking the same, but I won't pay for this engine. If they would make a 300X they must put the 300r's engine, liquid cooled, no vibes.
A new motorcycle that will replace 300 xre is being patented in Brazil under the name Sahara. It will most likely have the 300f engine
@Subhajit sadly I think the new Sahara which will replace xre 300 will have the same 300f engine. Or at least it seems like it. No news on it now, it's being patented in Brazil, the name is being patented
@@Black_Ace14 thanks for the info
It's the brilliance of Honda engineering that despite being a short stroke engine the peak torque comes at 6000 rpm. It's so early. Impressive.
Who told you that it's a short stroke engine?
@@sambhunathpal59I mean its not like a long stroke bike for sure like the REs , hness. It's a short stroke engine.

Thanks for correction. @@MrTransporter5
You Are mostly spot on withe review as its not a new engine its just an over bored Honda CB 250F sold in South America market though the CB 250F has higher top speed.
Being an owner Of Cb 300f
Pros: Torque, Stability, Agility, at low and higher speeds, TCS, Simple reliable no nonsense engine.
Cons: Poor braking, Vibrations @ high rpm above 6.5k mostly evident, poor top end, Hard suspension, poor stock headlights.
Looks ? Does it look big ? Or compact ?
Between big and compact
Any possibilities of Adventure /Tourer version on lines of Honda 200X?
Can you give us a review on newer version of Versys 650 in the future.
Please review the N250 dual abs after this, earnest request!
Which would be a better bike between Honda CB300F and Suzuki Gixxer 250 considering now they both are available at almost similar on-road price range.
I am looking for city as well as long ride (600KM+ per day) - 40% city and 60% Highway rides)
Sir, Thanks very much for the genuine review, please advise me, I am very much interested in riding and crushing with bikes, I am already having RR310 for highway with top speed ride, for city commute as you it’s not very convenient, so I got FZS V3 and disappointed with its performance, so I am looking to sell and buy another with power and torque for city commute, I had this CB300R in mind as you said non Honda things about engine vibe I am little disappointed, so please suggest is there any other options for this bike for best city commute, thanks in advance 🙏🏻
Is this Honda 300F Or Gixxer 250 best for city commute... Plz advise
Just a question bro, given you had to pick between this and gixxer sf 250, which one would you pick ..which is better in terms of fun, pickup and handling?
Obviously gixxer
@@kamilshaikh7767Why?
Suzuki after sales services just sucks!! Dats the thing holding back many people
hey, waiting for interceptor 650 2023 review from you.
I have consistently found your reviews to be bloody accurate. Had a test ride today of this bike and I really don't liked this bike. Vibrations starts just at 5k rpm and whole body resonates with the same.
How are the vibrations when compared to mt15, which can similarly cruise around 90 kmph+ as well. Looking for a Japanese bike for solo touring, confused between mt15 and 300f
Bro mt 15 is too overpriced for a 150 cc segment bike and can not compete with honda
CB 350 RS is costing around 2.6 lacs on road currently. Cb 300f is a best bike for you for solo riding.
Thanks for the video
Does anyone have info on bs6 phase 2 launch or refresh of this motorcycle
what should i pick Hornet 2.0 OR CB300F ? Please help, need to purchase in next 7 days.
Good thing is that Torque to Power ratio > 1
We can expect higher mileage than other counterparts (but not with hness 350).
Please give an update regarding the launch of the cb500x
The only gripes i had when i took if for a test ride was the stiff suspension. Good for handling, yes, but i guess i wont like it since id be taking it everywhere, not just paved roads. So sad. Its perfect in all other aspects, especially considering the new revised prices. If 140-70-17 rear tire would solve the initial stiffness, might consider it.
Never owned a bike before, so just wanted to ask, will the mono shock adjustment won't solve the stiffness issue?
It will solve the problem
What's the point of upgrading from 150 to 300 if it feels like a 150 even on highways 😂 this is on of the worst bikes honda has produced in India and then they think why no one is buying Hondas anymore 🤦♂️
does it seem slower and less powerful than the gixxer 250 naked?
Which one is better CB300F or Gixxer 250, because now CB300F is sold for 2lk and gixxer for 2.20lk, so ehich one would be a better pick among these??
CB300F is better in cities, has more torque which is available in lower and mid end while Gixxer 250 has better overall performance with more horse power. Suspension is slightly harder in Gixxer which means slightly less comfortable city ride but comparatively better cornering and handling.
Ultimately think of your likely usage, then go with your heart!
Is the offer available of the price cut of 65k ?
I wanted to buy this as an upgrade from fz v3. But chose not to even with the 61k discount they offered. First reason, the bigwing guys only let me take a test drive for like 300 meters and asked to return (lame). It's strange, but all the time I felt like there was something wrong with this bike (maybe paranoia kicking in? LOL). I knowingly went on higher revs even when the showroom guy was asking me to change gear...and felt vibrations everywhere after around 6k rpm. So I thought the 61k discount does not make the bike better and said no.
95kmph cruising speed is a bummer. I do 90 kmph all day on the underpowered fz v3 on my tours (have done 6xx kms per day on the little bike. Crazy right?). So yeah, even if on paper it was an upgrade, while riding it, I didn't feel that. Yeah the torque was better but I shouldn't have to justify the comparison with a 149cc bike.
Before I never saw one on the road even after 7 months since release, but hoping to see more as a lot of people jumped on it due to discount (people will buy anything if the discount is big enough). This bike has good looks, so roads will definitely look better with more of these on.
Joking aside, superrrrr video as always dude!!
Honestly 400 cc would be a better upgrade for your tours. Something like d400 or duke 390
@@ParthRastogi Yeah, but I dont really like any KTM bikes. Same with RE (maybe they are great, but not for me). This comes from me everyday facing KTM riders. Extremely dangerous people. I slow right down and let them pass, same as I do for auto rickshaw drivers. Everywhere is race track for them. Hence I have a distain for all KTM bikes. Wouldn't get one even if someone gave it to me for free.
I rode Dominar 400 once, it felt bulky, bloated and not well made. My friend has one. Rides planted on the highways though. I will have a look again if a new version/upgrade comes out.
You're lucky that MT-03 might be out soon, it's almost perfect for your use case, torquey parallel twin, nimble and far from being associated with the "chappri" KTM image. The only exception being that it will end up costing you quite a bit and the Yamaha after sales especially on premium bikes.
@@darren3105 Cost is not an issue. The bike should be enjoyable. Otherwise I would have gone for the 60k discount. I have asked the Yamaha showroom guys around 4-5 times now; every time they say that they have no idea about mt 03 release plans.
@@Cla55icG00se considering that the dealer event was a couple of days ago you can expect to see it launch in a few months, until then happy riding to you!
How is it compared to gixxer 250 or dominar 250
would you suggest this for a beginner? I have always ridden gearless scooters since traffic, but now want to start on geared ones. Can I start with this one?
I would say it is a great beginner bike. In your case, coming from a scooter you already have the fundamentals of biking so it's a great upgrade. You'll struggle at first, just like trying everything new but with time You'll master the bike

Try sf250 , no vibrations , even in 125kmph , all rounder.
Vibration you can’t see, but can feel. 😂
For 2.25 Onroad this is good deal.. But if they come up with CB300X and priced it 1.85 L (Ex-Show) that could be a good bike to purchase

Hornet is a design language, so honestly, complaining that it resembles a 200cc motorcycle may not be correct.
However this bike is not a premium bike nor does it feel that way , even simple things like the keys of the bike , for eg the highness key looks so premium, this looks like a cycle key.

@@arivazhagans1459 I had a word with some other owners and reviewers. Vibrations are not in duke and dominar category. They are quite mild and manageable.
@@naveenparuuthi1868 thanks buddy 💯
The design looks like the Hornet, and I do not care even if it's called the Hornet 300.
I like the bike's low grunt torque.
Before buying this, one has to question why has Honda reduced its prices. Kuch to gadbad hai
I have purchased one on 31/03/2023 with a discount of Rs 64,000/- thereby costing me around 2,05,000/- on road which also includes extended warranty for the engine. I was sceptic about the mileage and performance as the engine was new and that its power was just 24.1 bhp and 25.6 nm of torque against the 293 cc, though its sharp, sculpted racing looks were appealing. However, I found its 4 valve engine powerful enough as its power to weight ratio was awesome with its kerb weight of just 153 kgs. It is a bliss to drive in city as it is nimble and agile with nice ground clearance and a small turning radius and ofcourse it is fully loaded with features like USD fork, dual channel ABS, radial tyres, traction control, slipper clutch, full LED setup with hazard lights, digital display with BT connectivity, gear position indicator, distance to empty, real time mileage, side stand auto cut off, charging port and ofcourse glide though technology (bike moves with out giving acceleration when clutch is released).
I joined a couple of my friends with their RE Himalayan on highways and some intermittent villages for a day trip of 300 kms with a few places of halts. It was before the 1 st service and hence kept it between 70 and 80 kmph. I was surprised to get around 43-44 kmpl. Though the suspensions were a bit on a tougher side, I never felt fatigue or a sore arm. Later, I checked in the city and found it to give about 32 kmpl which is too good.
I had its first service done after 500 kms at the Bigwing (for premium bikes) and was charged Rs.2,000/- which included the replacement of engine oil, oil filter, O ring and also chain lubrication. Now I am getting around 33-34 kmpl in city and have to take it for long distances to see how much it is going to give now? Just waiting for the summer to end... :)
For now I am feeling great with the bike and its service, have to see in the long run...but again Honda is renowned for its engine life and service.
How are the vibrations on higher revs and speed post service?
I think you are lying about highway mileage of 43-44. There is no way the mileage will fluctuate by 10-12 kmpl just because you are not using a clutch and are at a constant speed. That too on a 293 cc engine. Check your calculation. The rest of it seems believable.
@@Cla55icG00seppl have reported a tested mileage of around 40 kmpl at cruising speeds of 80-90 kmph. After the first service, since the vibes disappear, one shall begin to cruise at 110 kmph. City mileage is around 32 kmpl
