HONDA CB300R (2018-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB300R was a standard or naked machine part of the CB series in Honda's range that had its debut in 2017 at the EICMA Motorcycle Show and went for sale in 2017 in Europe and Asia and 2018 in the US market.

The bike was one of the Neo Sports Cafe lineups offered by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer, while other models included the CB125R, CB150R, CB250R, CB650R, and the 2018 CB100RR. Also, the CB250R was a lower-displacement version sold only in Japan and Malaysia.

The Honda CB300R featured minimal styling cues borrowed from the 2018 CB100R, a lightweight frame that mixed tubular and pressed steel, full LED lighting and an LCD instrument panel, and an IMU-based ABS.

The bike was wrapped around a diamond-shaped steel frame that housed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a Pro-Link monoshock on the rear that offered optimum suspension performance.

As for braking performance, the model packed a 296 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that provided strong stopping power.

In the power department, the 2018 Honda CB300R took its muscles from a 286cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 31 hp at 8,500 rpm and 28 Nm (21 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,500 rpm.
