I owned a CB300f for 5 years and 25 thousand miles; you shift a lot, including double down-shifting any time you want to pass, but the transmission is precise and the clutch is light. It's a joy to ride; small bikes are better.
Update , Been riding it for 1 month. Absolutely love it 9 dollars to fill the tank and lasts forever !!! Plus it still has my head getting thrown back. I get the feeling of power with the economics of great gas and cheap insurance. Lovely purchase ! I am 6”2 170lbs which may be why I rip so fast on it... lol
2 years too late, but better late than never. I'm a 25 year experience rider. I currently have a 1000, a grom and the cb300f. My cb3f is my daily bike. The problem with the bike is that it's geared too low. What I find out is that when i'm slowing down to take a turn, what would normally be done in 2nd gear, on this bike it has to be done in 3rd. I went up 1 tooth on the front sprocket and the problem is solved. Now i feel that the bike is geared as it should have been from the factory. Enjoy!
Hi. I have exactly the same bike. Love the bike but completely agree about the shifting. You burn through 1st and 2nd so quickly it's a pain in traffic. Other the that, I find it comfortable and really easy to ride for a beginner. Thanks for the video!
I'm looking at this bike as a first street bike, but shifting is half the fun. When I rode dirt bikes using the clutch and shifting is part of the fun its involving and makes you feel like you are way more in control.
Small displacement requires close ratio gears. Try starting in second gear. I don't know if this bike will do this easily as I have never ridden one. We used to do that racing motocross.
I own the same bike You dont have to shift so much, just stay in 3rd. Only time i go to 1st is when im at a complete stop other than that 2nd and 3rd is all you need for this bike.
So the bike accelerates through each gears range quickly. It's a 300 cc motorcycle. Changing gears on any standard shift vehicle is part of the charm of driving that machine.
It all depends on the riding style and your expectations. When reaching an intersection and especially with a red light I NEVER brake the lase second but I start slowing down so when it's green I still have the 2nd or 3th gear in. Sometimes I even start with the 2nd gear. I don't know about 4 stroke engines but for 2 stroke engine the muffler can make a HUGE difference, for example a much bigger muffler will make gears longer speed but you loose power at the lower RPMs. You'll love this bike more when you go up hill for example on mountains and there you'll have a lot of fun!
I have the same bike and love it and agree with this completely, cause according to the owners manual you should be in 6th gear by around 37mph. I might replace the front sprocket with a bigger one.
I have the bike . It feels like it would be better as a 4 speed rather than a 6 speed. I feel the 1st and 2nd gears can be combined into one. 4th and 5th can be combined into 1 gear.
Problem with the Honda CB300F is that first gear is almost unusable, second sometimes stalls. It's really NOT a good beginner bike. I still have my Honda CB300F, but I prefer my Ninja 300 because all of the gears on the Ninja are usable.
I have the same bike. And I agree. The gearing is odd. 1-2-3 are just too close in ratio. Instead of going up in gearing to make 1st more useable, i may go the other direction with the intent of starting generally in 2nd gear. Although you'd lose a bit on the top end, it would make a great adventure bike with a very low 1st gear to use in the slow offroad situations. Or in the alternative an auto-clutch plus regear with a 15 tooth front sprocket could be a great option as well. Either way I'm with you on the gearing being too close in ratio. The fact that I often can't even tell what gear I'm in (4-5-6) is another pretty good indication that they're just too close together in ratio.
@@jamesdacus7367 I weigh 190, and I still have all the grunt I need to pull away in first gear; but I can get all the way through an intersection now before I have to shift into second. The loss of acceleration is not that noticeable, and the bike is smoother around town and on the road now. The 15 tooth sprocket and 1" handlebar risers made my 300F what I believe it should have been from the factory.
I ride a 150cc so imagine the gears I have to go through. To catch up to speed (100 km/h), I have to hit 10,000 RPM from 1st gear to 6th gear. If for some reason, traffic slows down to 30 km/h and I need to overtake them, I have to shift down 4 times, rev match 4 times, then hit 10,000 RPM in every single gear until 6th.
I AGREE WITH UR PERSPECTIVE HOWEVER IM JUST GOING TO ADD MY 2 CENTS . I FEEL LIKE THE SHIFTING REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY LEVEL BIKES IS A BIT OF A MIXED BLESSING. YES IT IS PAINSTAKING AT TIMES TO SEE THAT REDLINE SO QUICKLY BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE MORE U HAVE TO SHIFT THE BETTER UR MUSCLE MEMORY GETS AND THEREFORE WHEN U MOVE UP TO A BIGGER BIKE THAT SKILL WIL BE FINE TUNED. THATS JUST HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT. I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST BIKE LAST MONTH AND HAVENT EVEN BEEN TO 4TH GEAR YET AND AM ACTUALLY ALREADY LIKE "HMMM, I WONDER WHAT A 600 IS LIKE?" LMBO AND THE I SLAP MYSELF LIKE AYYE SLOW UR ROLL! GET UR SKILLS UP AND THEN MOVE UP. LOL "ITS BETTER TO RIDE A SLOW BIKE FAST THAN A FAST BIKE SLOW." 💯 GOD BLESS AND DONT RUSH THE PROCESS! 🙏
great video dude! I have the same bike and I know what you mean about the useless first gear. what I've done to solve the short gear ratio was to upgrade the front sprocket to a 15 tooth. I went with sun star because I watched a dabinchie video and he did the same. it really makes first gear more useable and I am not shifting halfway through a turn. I look forward to more videos. perhaps you can make a video on your break in procedure and which method you decided to go with?
thank you for your time watching! and for your advice. I will look into upgrading my sprocket. In regards to my break in procedure, I just follow what Honda says! a "soft break" I think! and I always put premium gas in it since day . Hope this helps :)
small displacement motor need to start on a low gear. I have the same bike first gear is not useless its the gear to make the bike move from a standing start. Ok try to start with second gear from a stop. see what happen. And its just normal the more gears it has the more shifting you have to shift. If it bother you shifting too much get a three speed or an automatic bike. More gears are for fuel consumption even on cars.
I think you are too experienced for this starter bike - I love shifting, but I can imagine it can get old and maybe dangerous when a quick stop is required. 60 in 3rd gear! Shit, it's awesome!
You shift way to early, bro. this is supposed to rev to at least 8000rpm before you shift. you are shifting before the engine even reaches peak torque. that won't even save you fuel. Cruse it at peak torque and add a 1000rpm before you shift. 6th gear is only for highway. You could also change to a larger front sprocket for a longer final gear ratio. Or you can do the opposite. You could use an even smaller front sprocket and gain torque to the rear wheel in every gear, that way you can roll off in 2nd gear all the time, basically making it a 5-speed transmission. You will lose a bit of top speed, but you can pull wheelies easier :-) And a question, since I am about to buy a used CB300f 2015 model for commuting. Is it easy to get into neutral from first gear? And how does it behave when shifting from 1st 2nd? Does it "accidentally" go into neutral frequently? And how did the recall go? Did they replace your crankshaft?
If you hate shifting, get a 300 scooter. 7000 isn't revving the shit out of it. Five to eight is that engines happy zone. That's what it is made for. It's a small engine pulling a big load. Forcing the rpm's down will put more load on the engines internals than letting it rev. The engine is redlined at 10500. Peak HP unlike many bikes is 2000 rpm lower. Honda has purposely reduced peak HP and increased the performance in the mid ranges, to reduce the overall stress on the engine and increase engine life. I have 40,000 km on my SYM Citycom, a 263 scooter. I don't worry about the rpm's, I'm just careful to not take it past the HP peak, even though the bike will easily go faster. That keeps the engine in the lower stress happy zone. It's the same for your Honda. Running the 300 routinely past 8500 rpm's would be putting more stress on the engine and could shorten it's life. If it was my bike I would keep it below 8000 just to be extra careful. Fifty years ago my friends and I were riding 325cc Honda 350 twins which had 27 rear wheel HP like your bike. They also had a 10500 redline, and we found that kept mostly to 8000 rpm, they lasted nearly forever. For the Harry Hormone types who just had to run their bikes to the redline as much as possible, by 20,000 miles, they were thrashed.
Sir, you are going to shift a lot on any bike. If you change the sprocket up front, you will lose the torque to get you going. Rev the hell out of it. Gas on a bike is cheap. It's made to rev to redline all the time. I bigger bike isn't better on fuel consumption so you will be shifting fast to save on gas. You have to decide whats more important gas savings or power. You have been riding for a few weeks so you have nothing else to compare it to. I have a 1000cc and 125cc honda grom. I rev the shit out of both, one because I have to and the other because I love powering it up on one wheel. If you don't want to shift, get a scooter.
Parabéns bela moto, ela ainda não chegou aqui no Brasil porém creio que quando ela chegar não irá sair por menos de R$15.000 que na verdade é um absurdo comparado com o salário mínimo no Brasil, quem me dera se as coisas aqui fossem como nos USA.
hey man. i think you will be happy with a big scooter like suzuki burgeman or honda WS400 they are quality and comfortable good exceleration and no shifting ! i am my self riding piaggio xevo 250 all the way in the city I live (samll city near Tel Aviv in Israel). i can tell you that it is strong, fast and very efficiant
apparently you dont need to hold the clutch to change gears, just accelerate with a quick wrist to change gears..zero clutch.. it's been 4 years.. you learn this?
No, you get torque quicker with shorter gears. More top speed on higher gears. Most people dont ride their bikes wide open in 6th gear. I always drop a tooth in the front to lower the gearing or go up a couple teeth on the rear to lower it too.
You ride a 300, so you probably ride wide open in 6th but on a 600cc or more, people seldom ride at 145mph plus. I've been 186 mph on older gsxr1000. It was fun to do it once. You can see nothing at that speed. It's a death trap.

Don't like to be mean but your novice ignorance is showing. Low cc bikes need short gears in order to have the power needed for many applications.I will give you one example which will apply all through the gear range. Lets say you started out from a stop with your g.f. on the back....(now 2wice the weight) your going up hill from a stop.....with current gearing youll be fine....reve it up shift to 2nd ..etc. power no problem keep going...with tall gears at only 31 hp. You would be hooped! You would be stalling the motor and ridding the cluch all the time! What your asking for may work in a prarie town. I would sugest your next bike should be a 500f..50 hp....420 lbs Or a kawesaki 650...68 hp same weight

Is neutral hard to find on it?

I actually like shifting, I think it makes it a more fun bike to ride, but I do agree the shifting can get a bit annoying.
1st gear needs to be that short if you end up having a passenger, otherwise you would stall leaving stop signs or starting on hills with a passenger.
Hi. I have exactly the same bike. Love the bike but completely agree about the shifting. You burn through 1st and 2nd so quickly it's a pain in traffic. Other the that, I find it comfortable and really easy to ride for a beginner. Thanks for the video!
have you tried a bigger sprocket?
Hold the gears a little longer. Shift at 7k
I have a 2022 CB300R, watching this I think I would have liked having the CB3F more..
How come you don't like shifting when you ride motor cycle that doest make sense to me at all . you better buy automatic one or something . 😂
My girlfriend just got one as a first bike. I ride a 1200gs and find her bike a pure delight!!!
I'm looking at this bike as a first street bike, but shifting is half the fun. When I rode dirt bikes using the clutch and shifting is part of the fun its involving and makes you feel like you are way more in control.
Thinking about getting 2018 300f so this is helpful info on the shifting.
on the honda website you can still order the 2018 and 2017 model i think that is what he is talking about
Small displacement requires close ratio gears. Try starting in second gear. I don't know if this bike will do this easily as I have never ridden one. We used to do that racing motocross.
It does but the clutch is really touchy so you really have to be really good at takeoffs to make it work

What Kind of cam did you use bro ? Vid quality is real nice and smooth!
Shifting is what makes riding so great you have more control of the power at different speeds.
Thanks for the share. you just convinced me to definitely say no on this bike
I have the same bike just bought last year ...have no problem with shifting...
True.
The shifting on this bike is a pain in the neck... until you try the Honda MSX.
I’m kinda worried about buying his due to the two recalls it’s had regarding crank failure and electric problems
I have the very same bike and I know what you mean. 1-2-3 are very quick shifts. I feel like I take off very slow. But I love the bike. Mine is red. 😃
Shift2Music same!
So the bike accelerates through each gears range quickly. It's a 300 cc motorcycle. Changing gears on any standard shift vehicle is part of the charm of driving that machine.
