HONDA CBR300R REVIEW - One Year Review

After owning this bike for a year, what are my thoughts?

[postersm]

As somebody who’s been riding for decades, I like what you’re saying. You’re probably gonna stay alive with that attitude. Keep it up and pass it along to people that think they need a 600 super sport to start out.

[TheRealBrotherLance]

I own one, yes! My top speed as a 260lb man is 103mph. Use synthetic race oil. It sounds better, more throttle response I believe for better compression. And 65mpg always reving it up. Got it $3500 brand new on sale.

Keep you rev around 4-5k for fast snap throttle response.

I rode it on the highway at about 85mph... 40 miles one way to work no issues.

[SPACERzed]

I started on a Grom. I love it, the only reason I want to upgrade is highways. Power is not an issue from a thrill standpoint.

My first bike is a 2015 CBR300R as well. I got it 6 months ago with 1, 200 miles on it and it now has a little over 5, 000! Grate daily! Now looking into getting a ZX6R for my next bike!!

I currently live and work in Thailand... And here, a 300 is considered big, anyhow.
Besides that, though, that size is a great all_around ride as it handles the highway ok and yet zips around back roads with aplomb, allowing the rider to suck th marrow out of life without draining ur wallet on gas, replacement parts etc etc.

Very nice vid, keep em coming

I’m new to motorcycles I bought a cbr300r I love how it handles. I have been a back seat rider so I love being able to ride by myself.

I did the opposite of most people. I started on a GSXR 600 and it was fine as long as you respect the throttle. But it would CONSTANTLY break down. I sold it and wanted to try a smaller bike so I got a CBR300. So far I love it and I can actually shift through all of the gears and red line them without going 100+ so that's always fun! Although I have to admit when I'm feeling lazy I miss just keeping my 600 in 3rd and never having to shift lol. Probably why I didn't kill myself starting on one I'd just keep it in 2nd or 3rd gear 95% of the time.

I love mine bro... I've had mine for 2 yrs... Still not in a rush to upgrade.. & straight fact on twisties.. Rode with a 900 z & a ninja 636 on backroads... Dude on 900 was shocked i kept up with him... And we had to wait on the 636 multiple times.... Lol i was throwing the 300 around like nothing... Love it bro....btw I hit 100mph ....

[blakee]

I just got the Honda cbr300 the other day love it so far

[jackiedavidson]

" im not riding with groups of a**holes. im not lane splitting at 100mph"
Gixxer brah came to mind immediately lol

[ROBSOLUTELY]

I have a Honda CB300F and a Kawasaki Ninja 300. Both great bikes. The Ninja is smoother and in my opinion, has better use of all the gears. I love smaller 300cc class bikes. The are light and a blast to have fun on.

[Nattraks]

just hit 10k on mine, great little bike. Really gas efficient. Can't go round for the price.

[ernestonoir]

600s are totally fine for a first bike... before 300s were a thing, all of my friends and i started on 600s. back then we were called crazy for starting on 1000s.

[jcastillo]

I love 300CC Bikes there’s a place for them and there fun I have a 2017 CBR 1000 RR SP and I still have my Ninja 300

[NoHope_]

i do agree, the issue is, for me, is that one i could loose some weight (im about 6'2" 230lbs) and as much as i love twisty roads and corners my commute to school and work is about 30 min on the highway, if im going slightly up hill with a decent bit of wind the bike will struggle to hit 80 mph and i generally cruse at 85-90 in a car (we drive fast here) and in perfect conditions the cbr 300 tops out at 95 so its probably even worse for that bike, i cant be full tuck for 30 minutes with a backpack full of books and a computer that weights 15lbs on top of what i already weigh. thats just not reasonable, if my commute was 15 minutes on normal side streets fuck yeah id get a 300 but at the end of the day, yeah it might be heavier, and a bit more work to manage the power, but ill be fine on a 600, you just have to take it slow and make sure you dont get ahead of yourself.

[justjosh]

I’ve been looking at getting a CBR300 for my first bike. Everything I’m seeing is pulling me in that direction.

[timothyforsythe]

I had a 2019 CBR 300r what gives it power on take offs is the long stroke of the 1 cylinder engine. It fads top end after 70 mph it begins to have vibration. You can take it on the freeway but I don't recommended for long rides. All and All a great little bike. I traded for a Honda Rebel 500 twin cylinder much better highway bike.

[-MaxMax]

hello, i like your mindset. my last bike was Aprilia rs125 28hp 2stroke, last year i complete A2 (47hp) Licence. I like this Little engine motorbikes, currently i dont own bike but im sure i go with 300-400cc, i love the look from gsx250r, benelli302r, rc390, R3 and cbr300r. greetings from Ger.

[Prod.Jxgger]

11:46-12:00 sold me to get this that’s enough power and speed to have fun for me

[NAJErEa]

I knew for sure I did not want to start on anything with a choke. fuel injection is a must for my first bike, thats why I turned down the ninja 250. im between a R3 and a CBR300r <3 thanks for this review
