When new to motorcycles, I used to be driving along at the highway speed limit -ish and wonder if I had another gear to go up into. There was not a huge difference in performance. And blah, blah, blah, but I figured out that if my speed was 50 mph, and my tach was around 5k then I was in 5th gear. Just remember--- If bike gets to loud, shift up. If it has no power, shift down.

Cb300r is a good stunt bike like a grom but for anything else nah

Which one do u think is better ?

Atta boy 🤜🤛🏽 tell’em 🙌 Great Value & style.

So i narrowed it down between this 300r and a mt03 like everyone else for their 1st bike these days lol....my question is this, i live in pinellas county florida....theres a lot of cars but roads are straugh lt and lights are spaced a little further out in distance, around me i have 55mph highway roads down to double amd signle lane at 45mph limits, but heres the thing, i want to start riding to work bevause the mielage is killing my tacoma, its a 25mile trip each way and consists of crossing over a 10 mileway causeway over water going to tampa whwre i work, speed limit it 60 and people usually do 65 to 75, half the time its also windy....and the highwah getting to the causeway is 55mph amd about 8 miles....i love the look of the honda, but lole the little extra power of the mt03....is it easy to pass cars that are going 65 to 70mph?....and are the vibrations going to make my hands feel like i want to rip them off? Lol awesome video, i was sold on the mt03 for the most part then i saw your video with pretty mjch the same thought process....last thing is the mt03 weighs a solid 50 poinds more, you think thats too heavy for a 1st bike?....Thanks my good man!

I appreciate my ‘22 not having a slipper clutch just to understand how a bike works without one-it’s my first and only bike so far-but after 26k miles, I can definitely understand why it would be handy!

I realize its not a fast bike so to speak, but will it pass other vehicles easily? Is the acceleration there when you need it?

This is the worst and most stupid video I have ever seen

Great review. Thank you

Not everything needs to be on the internet. This is a prime example.

This platform makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the Rebel 300 with the same engine. So much lighter, smaller, and more flickable etc. Thanks for the review!

What about MPG and range??? Why is it the last 3 reviews I just watched don’t mention this. Nice review and you raised valid points on speed and never knew about how good the engine breaking is. Thanks for making this!

Loved your reply. It's really cool that you have 5,000 miles on your CB300R. It gives me confidence in getting one for myself. I want one for doing the parking lot agility and maneuverability practice I see on those practice drill YT websites. Lesson No. 1 is going super slow in a circle without having to exit early from where I started. Lots of wiggling back and forth with the handlebars. Doing my best to keep my feet on the foot pegs. 317 lbs. is just amazing with adequate power for other rides. I would be safe enough on city streets. I'm doing my MSF BRC in a week. Best wishes on your happy riding experiences !

Pros and Cons. Pros : Love the weight 317 lbs. wet. Upright seating position. Handlebar placement. ABS ? Slipper clutch. Should be a real safety help and accident avoidance. Cons : Have you changed oil and oil filter yet ? Apparently it's on the lower left hand side down low and mounted sideways. Not smart. It's going to be a mess when you change that filter and drain the oil. I saw a riding review for a bloke in Britain. Have you had to nail the front brakes yet ? His review shows excessive nose dive. His response is to beef up the rear shock and install beefier front forks that are matched. I had seen Honda touting that one fork is purely a spring setup and the other side a pure fluid fork. Bizarre. I want it for it's lightness as I plan to do my Motojitsu agility and maneuverability in tight spaces drills in a parking lot. That is important for my survival. Please tell me about the nose dive issue and the oil issues you are experiencing. Thanks, Bob

With city/town speed limits I could never understand why people would need a n engine as big as a Harley Davidson

I put 9k on mine… no gear position indicator… ugh… sold it.

Got that one coming too. Wondering if a cardo will fit in there

Hey! Awesome vids. Exact info and viewpoint I was looking for. Thank you! Quick question as a first time learner rider I’m worried I’ll miss the gear indicator (tells you what gear you’re in) heard this CB 300 doesn’t have one…?! 1. Is that true and 2. Did you miss it? Thanks again!

Unique in it's class, of super low weight.

I like the power on the MT-03, but i like the looks of the cb300r, if it just had the Yamaha engine, it would be the perfect bike for me.

Did you stop making videos? Newest video I see is 8 months ago. Are you still riding the CB300r?

I am looking to buy this bike. I like everything about it and I had and don't need stronger bike. The agility of this one in the city should be great. I need it only for city and around citiy driving and I have one question. How is it like with side winds? I'm not talking about wind protection. It is a naked bike after all and I believe any windcreen kills the joy. My main concern is about bad weather winds when it can push yoh left or right. I live on the cost of the mediterranean where in the winter there are really strong winds. I'm afraid that, because of very low weight, it could be a struggle. My experience with scooters was very bad with side winds. I also had NC750x, NC750s and Triumph street twin. They were all wind proof because of very little or none of plastic surfaces. I had Honda integra, and even it was the most havier I felt big winds because of big plastic surfaces. Right now I have Benelli Imperiale 400 and I didn't have wind problems also. I see on your videos that you drive only this bike without owning a car. I can only assume the you experienced all kind of weather conditions.So, is it good with side winds? Just to tell, I can manage this winds even with a scooter but it doesn't come without being stressed all the time and I drive 365 days a year.

Mad expensive

how does your bike sound so different from the stock?

I mean its kinda hard to tell from that angle. It looks as if they were going straight and you were turning.

Bikes seem to think big engines and massive power are the answer. I went on a road trip on my 125 with mates and one had a 1000 we 125ers all got of the bikes laughing and smiling like it was the best ride of our life's he was bored not being able to use the power. We warned him it's not all about the power bikes are meant to be fun. He never used full throttle all week we 125ers used it a lot and had miles of smiles.

I can ride any bike I want but I chose a 125. I gave my brother a few lessons on it and he was surprised at the acceleration of it. I just said every bike is fast if you know how to ride it properly. He laughed till he got left in the dust in the twisty bits. Thanks for a great video and great commentary

Rc390 is nice, Fast Acceleration, speed is alittle slow.

The official Honda motor sports website does not mention a slipper clutch for the 2024 cb 300 r.

A balanced and fair review. I have a 2019 version and on British back roads, this bike really does come into its own. It's so light and planted you can really throw it into corners. It forgives all your silly mistakes, thank heavens because I make plenty. It's super reliable (of course it is, Honda made it) and inexpensive to run. One of the best things about it is that you can have tons of fun without breaking the speed limit. The tyres work well on rough pothole-ridden roads: whilst they're not super duper, they're good enough. Incedently, the back wheel will pop up under heavy breaking and front goes skyward under rapid acceleration (but shush, don't tell anyone I said that). You're right about the short gears. However, that comes with one advantage - you can get out of junctions quickly. And, besides these small engines thrive under high RPMs. I reckon on and over 7000 is a reasonable sweet spot. Or at least that's my experience. The OEM exhaust is a ghastly rocket launcher affair. There are aftermarket options. The top tier ones like Akaprovic will set you back about 600 English pounds. Not pocket change. But much prettier, more grunt and considerably lighter. There are cheaper options out there. GR moto spring to mind. They look good, have a decent sound, and retail at about 200 Sterling. The Engine braking is...surprisingly strong and does require clutch feathering. An instructor taught me to drag my back brake whilst feathering the clutch at slow speed. That technique seems to work well. If you get the balance wrong, you will be thrown forward. But this is a characteristic of all single piston small CC bikes, I believe. Honda have done a fabulous job with this bike. My only regret is that I didn't buy one sooner.

Im getting my first cb300r on Thursday we should ride sometime

Boerne texas !!

Very detail review--all that we need. Thank you.

First of all ABS brakes don’t lock that’s why you can’t get them to lock it’s called antilock brake system for a reason. Secondly slap bar end mirrors on it and your vision problem is solved. Wear gear Ride safe!🇺🇸

as long as the bike will do 65mph to 75mph easy will be fine with me

people who buy fast bikes commute in cars

Hey I am planning to buy cb300 Can you tell me traction control on this bike is required or not

Hi, these clutch levers you've installed, do they help with using just 2 fingers without biting on your pinky? I'm having trouble with my factory clutch lever since they bite on my ring and pinky fingers if I try to use just 2 to squeeze the clutch. But I'm used to just 2 fingers from my previous bike and I felt more control than all 4 fingers. So are these useful for that purpose, otherwise I won't bother to replace them. I'm thinking of cutting off an inch or 2 from the original clutch, as if it fell and broke😎

Thanks for the video. BTW, How well does your windscreen work? Any buffeting? Im planning on installing one like yours in my bike…

Just ordered a white one! Stoked to get my first Shoei. Is it more of a flat white or gloss? All the pics online look like a flat white

Yeah I love mine. I wanted the silver one like you have, but they were out..so I got the green, matches my bike. There is no cooler jacket in very hot weather.

Are you in top for the faster bits of the video 7k at 55mph doesn't sound right...

I bought this bike last week and it's been 8 days now, red one. I'm from India. The brand new chain had several kinks in it and the factory setting had too much lash in it. Asked the dealership to tighten it a bit which the did rather reluctantly, saying it's all good and they only do that during the first service. But it then felt over tightened and the wheel would hardly move when turned by hand. First thing I ordered online was a paddock stand and sat with my bike today as soon it got delivered. My user manual said 1 to 2.2 inch slack but the chain hits the slider on the swingarm before that. For now I've given it a generous slack but couldn't check it due to rains. Oiled it with 90 gear oil generously and rotated the wheels, it just goes less than a quarter turn after I give it a hard spin. So obviously things are not ok. Adjusting the balance on both sides took me 45 mins and my knees were screaming in agony. Not as simple as I had hoped. The kinks still remain but not as stiff. Assuming that brand new O-ring chains may kink due to the friction with the rubber rings, my first experience with o ring chains. Should check how things look tomo but more rain is predicted. No mention of any engine run-in period anywhere in my manual.

Gud information

Man, how long was that traffic light? Took up one third of the video.

Is this a Ms07 video
