Honda CBR300R

Overview

The CBR300R is an entry-level sport bike, in the Honda CBR motorcycle series[1]. This street-legal motorcycle utilizes a single-cylinder (286cc) engine[2]. The small-displacement engine and lightweight design make the CBR300R appealing to novice riders and those who rely on a motorcycle as their daily commuter vehicle[1]. Base units have an MSRP of $4399[2]. An optional ABS upgrade is available for ($4,899 MSRP)[2]. This added safety feature reduces breaking distance dramatically[1].

Reasons for CBR300R Mass-Production opposed to CBR250R

[edit]

From 2012-2014 Honda mass produced the Honda CBR250r in efforts to compete with the Ninja250r[3]. However, the Ninja250r put out more power than the Honda's version of the 250. In hope of drawing more customers in the entry-level sport bike market, Honda released an upgraded version of the CBR250R starting in 2015[3]. The new model featured a 286cc displacement single-cylinder motor (producing 17% more power than the cbr250r model)[1]. This small power upgrade seen in the CBR300R models, combined with its lightweight design, places the CBR300R in the same conversation as the Ninja300r for the quickest entry-level sport bike[3].
