2022 Honda® CB300R

Features may include:

The CB300R's compact 286cc DOHC four-valve, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine is valued among riders for its free-revving, responsive nature. The engine also works extraordinarily well in real-world road-riding conditions, providing plenty of power both around town and out on the highway.

To reduce maintenance costs – an important factor for many riders – the engine is also designed with the minimum number of moving parts. Details like the low­friction piston rings, high­density core radiator and iridium spark plug help increase efficiency.

The power of the engine combined with the six-speed transmission produces a remarkably broad torque curve for strong low-RPM performance. This makes the CB300R easy to ride, in both stop-and-go situations and on the highway, while also returning impressive fuel economy.

The crankshaft runs in plain bearings for quieter operation and the big end of the connecting rod spins in a needle bearing, both contributing to the engine’s high-performance credentials.

A gear-driven counterbalance shaft helps quell engine vibration for enhanced rider comfort.

Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture for the current riding and atmospheric conditions. The system delivers optimal performance and remarkably crisp throttle response over a wide range of operating conditions, plus improved fuel economy.

The CB300R’s frame – which helps underpin its minimalist style, drawn on the same Neo Sports Café lines as the CB1000R – is constructed with tubular and pressed steel; the swingarm is manufactured from steel plate, irregularly shaped in cross­section.

Front brake is a radial-mounted, 4-piston caliper, wave-style disc brake. The rear is a single piston caliper, 220mm wave disc and both are regulated during use by 2-channel ABS. This high-specification system works through an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) providing a finely-balanced, front-to-rear operation and incredible feel, in all riding conditions.

Curb weight of only 144 kg and compact 1,355 mm wheelbase gives the CB300R outstanding manoeuvrability and helps instill rider confidence and excitement.

A narrow comfortable seat and riding position makes it easier for riders to develop their skills and enjoyment as a great introduction to our legendary lineup of motorcycles

Full-sized 17-inch lightweight aluminum wheels with Dunlop tires sized at 110/70R-17 front and 150/60R­17 rear to provide big-bike feel, grip and handling traits.

Great handling starts with a superior chassis, which is why the CB300R uses special frame construction designed to be both light and strong. The steel swingarm is designed to provide high longitudinal rigidity and control torsion without being harsh or heavy. This means you get confidence-inspiring feel and feedback, especially while cornering. The 41 mm USD forks also complement the CB300R’s handling, with compliant damping and supple spring rate. The single rear shock offers 7 step spring preload adjustment.

Minimal modern-retro bodywork with clean, open, sporty styling is not only attractive it makes the CB300R even lighter, with its ‘Neo Sports Café’ minimalist, bare­boned attitude.
