The Honda CBR300R was an entry-level sports bike part of the CBR series in Honda's range that had its debut in 2014 as an upgraded model from the previous CBR250R machine, with an increased engine displacement, horsepower, and torque.
In 2015, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CBR300R, a sports bike in its second year of production that came with the same package as the 2014 model and offered the perfect balance of beginner-friendly features and typical Honda refinement.
Compared to the CBR250R machine, the 300R developed more horsepower, from 26 to 31 hp, and more torque, from 23 to 27 Nm. The bike was also available with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) that enhanced safety and handling capabilities.
Other differences included the fairing and headlight, which were restyled to more resemble the CBR RR line, a new exhaust system, new engine mounts, a new seat and side panels that offered an easier reach to the ground, and a slightly more sporty riding position.
Some of the internal changes included new pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft along with an increased displacement and taller gearing for better cruising, while the tires and suspension remained the same as on the CBR250R model.
In the performance department, the 2015 Honda CBR300R had its soul brought to life by a 286cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 31 hp at 8,500 rpm and 27 Nm (20 lb-ft) of torque at 7,250 rpm.
