Have to retract the Corbin seat recommendation. After some time of using the Corbin seat some issues came up: while the foam is very good and comfy, the seat has actually too much foam in some areas and puts pressure against the private parts and the perineum. Sent it back to Corbin for re-work, but the modification made it even worse, just in a different way. Very expensive experience and now a landfill decoration...
@@karlfonner7589 Hi Karl, thanks for the tip. At this time i cannot justify spending more money on the seat. Some other big purchases are coming. If I can find extra 2k I will probably get it custom modified. Cheers.
Honda CB300R is an underrated motorbike. I looked at the competition and bought the CB300R and have no regrets. I live in Bangkok City. It is a great motorbike especially for filtering through stationary traffic as it is narrow, short wheelbase and tight turning centre.
Great video. I have the 2023 cb300r in blue. Loving it. I've kept mine stock so far, probably won't touch it. I agree with most of your points, the fuel economy isn't as good as I thought it would be. I get around 3.8l per 100k. Though it's just past it's 1000k first service it should get better. The only thing I'd really like to do is get those side racks you have and some bar risers, the rest is great. It's a light bike and has a nice tone from the stock exhaust that I love, nice thump. It can do 0 - 100kph in 7 seconds and wheelies really easy in first gear, but like you I love riding slow and as I'm also getting older, speeding just isn't thrilling once you have been there done that. Again, thanks for the video, would love to see more! I might upload a video of my cb300r soon, ill let you know when I do, so you can check it out! Take care! Keep it up!
@@BlueAlgon You really need to spin the engine up and then drop the clutch aggressive to hit that time, but not really worth it. I appreciate your videos because there isn't many videos on this underrated bike, you're well spoken with good info, you also have a talent for making good presentation. Would love to see where else you take the 300R.
@@shadowdove3250 Thanks. My weekend rides are to nature outside Toronto. In September I wish to go for a two-week road trip, if the weather will allow. Road trips in summer through our wilderness are out of the question due to the biting bugs. Why nobody makes a smaller-engine bike that is made to carry panniers/cases right out of the factory? Well, Royal Enfield almost does, but their smaller CC bikes are heavy.
are you doing the calculations yourself for your liter per 100km or are you taking the computer at it's word? I did a test with my 2023 cb300r and found the computer over-estimates how much fuel you are using. I did a test of the odometer with GPS and it is millimetrically spot-on.. but whenever I do a fuel-range test using the trip meters... I get like 200km on 6.5-7 liters with a little bit of variance depending how throttle-happy I am and that works out to about 3.25L-3.5L per 100k, meanwhile the bike is telling me I am using 4L-4.2L per 100km...
I have a 2019 CB300R, love it! The stock seat isn't terrible, but the Corbin seat is SO much better... We have a cobblestone road I regularly ride on, with the stock seat, I bounce out of the saddle frequently. With my Corbin seat, no problems.
Really enjoying your videos on your CB. I have a 2021 and had second thoughts about the HP at first, but it does just fine on the highway, even going into the mountains. Really like that seat too (on yours, stock can get uncomfortable)

Michael thanks for review. I am considering this bike. Our height is similar so you say its ok and reasonably comfortable. I had cb500x with similar back brake performance. Was fixed by changing brake fluid.
Hi Ed, nice to see you swinging by. I can recommend watching my newest review of this bike: th-cam.com/video/jZEPylQDupQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CXYjgu6KW56BU6Ua There I show in a slow-mo fly-by the riding position. I find it decently comfortable (ergonomic), except for the hard seat. Of course, within some limits. This is a smaller frame bike, after all. The BMW F750GS was a luxury coach in comparison...but also much more expensive and heavy 🙂 Cheers.
Hi Vincent, thanks. The 300gs was on the radar screen and it’s true it would fit my style of riding better right out of the box. The main reason why it was dismissed was the weight. I wanted a bike that’s as light as possible while still being able to go on the highway. Two other things not going for the GS in my eyes were the made in India thing and the cost of BMW service and parts. I trust Honda’s build quality and reliability. Not sure about Indian bikes. Cheers.
Hi Matt, it came across the radar screen, but it has one main disadvantage that was a deal breaker for me. Even though I live in a very large urban area, there is only one Kawasaki dealer somewhat easily reachable - some 45 km away to the west. There is one more dealer, but that is cross town (Toronto) and the traffic can be a nightmare to get there. One of my prime criteria is there are (at least) two dealers (actually service centres) reasonably reachable. Also the Versys is 30 kg heavier. More HP, but the same torque.
Please please please tell me where you got your side bags. I can’t find any practical bags anywhere. I don’t want the rhinowalk bags - good bags but a bear to get into quickly.
The 600 must have much more aggressive riding posture. I'd assume that unless one goes over 100 kph that must be uncomfortable for the hands and wrists.
Great review! Mostly for non-highway and urban riding, could anyone recommend their 2023 year choice between the CB300R, Yamaha MT-03 or Duke 390? I’m 5’11” tall, 175-pound weight, with a 34” inseam pants size. Thanks!
Thanks. I'd say the MT is a faster bike. It's also heavier. Both bikes are a good choice. Check the seat heights. Oh, also check if the MT has full metal or rubber insert footpegs. Metal only pegs can become uncomfortable. The CB has rubber
So appreciatitve you showed us the ergo of you on it. Rare does a moto reviewer do this. If they don't want to be recognized they can put their helmet on. 14:00
I have a follow-up review where I show a slow-motion fly-by that shows the riding position even better: th-cam.com/video/jZEPylQDupQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TtKvHzglAbhQgXQB
They are Nelson-Rigg. Link: www.nelsonrigg.com/motorcycle-luggage/motorcycle-saddlebags/cl-890-mini-expandable-sport-motorcycle-saddlebags-detail They fit well size-wise, though I attached them poorly and they shifted during a ride and got destroyed by the rear tire and the silencer. If you put them on your bike without a pannier frame, you need to make sure there is some support to prevent the panniers from swinging towards the rear tire. On my previous bike I used bungie cords between the pillion foot pegs and the rear luggage carrier to form this kind of support. Cheers.
@@RandomVidz369Just buy any of the 20 competitors to this bike and call it a day instead of overpaying for something you'll sell in a year for an ugprade

@@patclark6032 While only you can decide whether motorcycling is suitable for you, I'd say as long as one is capable of doing it and would enjoy it, it's a wonderful way of traveling.

Very interesting video, I am thinking about buying this bike. I wonder how the bike vibrates. I have a Yamaha WR250X motorcycle, the vibrations are quite big there. Thank you and greetings
Ahoj Vláďo. Problém je že nevím co je Tvoje hranice pro rozumné vibrace. Nemám zkušenost s Yamahou. Samozřejmě ta CB má vibrace, ale pro mě to není problém. Za jekékoliv rychlosti je v zrcátkách dobře vidět co je za Tebou. Jednou jsem připevnil iPhone na zrcátko abych filmoval jízdu. To bylo před několika lety na CB300F, předchůdce této CB300R. Stejný motor. To video se tak třáslo že se to nedalo vůbec použít. S jednoválcem nějaké vibrace automaticky jsou. For English-speaking audience: not understanding what your threshold for acceptable vibrations is, and having no experience with Yamaha bikes, I can only say that for me the vibrations are not an issue. The mirrors show very well what's behind me at all speeds. One time I attached an iPhone to the mirror stalk of my CB300F, the previous gen of this bike - the same engine. The video shook so much it was unusable. So with a thumper vibrations are given.
