Overview
Riders looking for an affordable, lightweight, entry-level naked sportbike should consider Honda's CB300R. This stylish machine not only looks impressive but won't break the bank with its affordable $5,149 price tag.
The CB300R is powered by a fuel-injected 286cc DOHC four-valve liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that it shares with the CBR300R sportbike. The engine may be simple and minimalist, but it provides good performance for its size that won't intimidate newer riders.
Other highlights include full LED lighting, a new LCD dash, a solid braking system with a radial-mount four-piston Nissin caliper and standard front and rear ABS.
