Honda CB300R: an easy, light weight bike

Review

At first, all that appears to have changed is the paint job, with the CB now getting two new colour schemes. A closer look shows the design of the exhaust muffler is a little different and the bike now gets a golden coloured USD fork. The LCD display also looks similar, but it now has a gear position indicator. That is helpful on this bike, because it has such short gearing that you will easily find yourself in the top three gears even in city traffic.

As before, Honda has placed the horn switch where you would normally expect to find the indicator button and this will be a non-stop source of irritation. Thankfully, the bike now gets a side stand, down engine, kill feature which was something missed on the earlier model.
