- The Honda CB300R is a beginner bike for new motorcyclists as well as experienced riders commuting. I share my first ride review and impressions on the Honda #CB300R motorcycle in 2021.
Looking for a beginner motorcycle as a first time rider? An advanced motorcyclist looking for a fuel efficient and practical commuter bike? Visit and consider subscribing to Ride YEG for more bike content as I have more videos related to Japanese motorcycles and cars, a lot of which are Honda's.
Thanks for watching and ride safe.

Let me know your thoughts on the CB300R👇👇👇
Hi, I'm french, I wanted to thank you for your video, I want to buy an Akrapovic exhaust for my Honda CB 300 R but Européen legislation are very restrictive, do you know how many dB it produce with the dB killer (on Akrapovic's website they say we Can have 8 more than the original but I don't know if it's with or without the dB killer (I Hope it's without if it's not I can't use it on open road 🥲).
Fantastic bike. Had mine three years now, and it’s all I need.
I’m not a beginner rider but I got over the marketing and just go for what I like. I like this.
It’s a fantastic bike for riders of all levels. Ride safe✌️
This made me really sure to really decide on this bike. I already have CB 300 on my list, along with Yamaha R3, KTM 390, BMW 310R.
I like the design of the Honda and KTM the most.
However, your review of the performance and features makes me even more confident. Thanks from Manitoba!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad I was able to help with your decision, let me know what you think of the bike. Ride safe ✌️
I recently bought a Honda CB300R (2022) for the son of my secretary for him to ride at university and to travel home (170 kms = 90 miles) back to the village to see his mum occasionally.
The 2022 now comes with a gear indicator, softer seat, showa front forks like the CB650R, slipper assist clutch, front mudguard matches tank colour.
I looked at a CRF300L but then thought that we only ride on tarmac roads, gravel roads and occasional farm tracks and ride in the town so decided the Honda CB300R made more sense.
I would describe it as a Honda Grom with power.
It is a really good looking light motorbike (difficult to distinguish it from the beautiful Honda CB650R at first instance). It it great for city riding (narrow, short wheelbase, good turning circle) but can handle long journeys on the main roads as well and great on fuel.
I would say that the Honda CB300R is underrated and more fun to ride than the bulky CB500.
this bike is good for someone who has had big bikes in the past and wants a light peppy bike. That's me!
That's what happened to me too - had bigger bikes, now back on the CB300R, Rebel 500 and a Grom! Ride safe✌️
Great! I thought it looked like it would be a bigger Grom and feel like one, so it looks like iam getting this bike as my first bike
Excellent choice and ride safe ✌️
I love the way it sounds. I just sold my z900 and am looking to pick one of these up. I had a 300f and while it was ugly it was more fun for the type of riding I do. Subbed! Also I love the fact that a lot of people say it’s like a larger more powerful Grom.
Thanks for supporting the channel! I think it’s a huge improvement over the 300F. Keep me posted if you’re able to find one :)
Alex P:
Yep; the CB300R is like a powerful Grom.
I find it a really good looking motorbike, like the CB650R and might not be the fastest in its category but it is fun to drive, quality, good on fuel and Honda reliability that makes sense when you get older.
Great review! Looking to get one soon :) in Singapore we are restricted to
Also I’m 5ft 4inch (160cm) with about 29inch inseam haha, but yeah I didn’t find seat height of this to be an issue unlike the duke 390
Nice! Let me know when you pick one up. I love my Groms so much that I have two😂
And interesting on the seat height! You might have longer legs than me haha. Ride safe ✌️
@@RideYEG yeah I just managed to nab a second hand CB300R! Gonna let my friend keep/use it for a while until I pass the next class to legally ride the bike (taxes on new vehicles in Singapore is at an all time high 🥲, so it’s much cheaper to buy one when a good deal comes around now)
@@samuellee3980 That’s great news, congratulations! Yeah I often buy my bikes used as well since I change bikes so frequently. What are the next steps in getting your license? I can’t wait to visit Singapore again :)
@@RideYEG I’ve got to wait another 4 months till I can apply for the higher cc license test 🥲 then we’ve got to go a few courses followed by a test. This process usually takes about 2 months. Only after all that, then would I be allowed to legally ride the bike on the road.
Ooh, do hit me up if you get the chance to come here! Hopefully I can show you around this small (and kinda boring) country 😅
We do not see many reviews on these in the UK. Nice one.
Thanks! Any special video requests for more videos on the 300R?

That is because everyone seem to jump to the CB500 not realising that the CB300R (2022) is more fun to drive especially in the city.
Great review. Thanks
Thanks for watching ✌️ where are you tuning in from? So jealous of your Trail 125
@@RideYEG NE Florida. Thanks, its definitely a fun vintage ride. Liking it so far 👌
@@findingneutral Hope to be back in Florida sometime to visit some family - maybe we'll ride together. Ride safe✌️
@@RideYEG 🤘👍
Loved the video! I wish Honda would make a twin CB700/800R
Thanks for watching. That would be interesting, I had an MT07 but I'm curious how it compares to the CB650R 4-cylinder
@@RideYEG if you have to choose between the mt 07 and the cb500f, wich one would it be?
@@rolandhagmann815 I've owned the CBR500 (close to the cb500f) and MT07. Honestly I like the CBR500 because I'm not power hungry, it's just incredibly smooth. MT07 sounds amazing and is super fun if that's your thing. What are you looking to use it for mostly?
@@RideYEG for weekend trips. my favorite is the honda but everyone is always talking about the mt 07. it should be the best in the class
@@rolandhagmann815 MT07 is a little twitchy and has good power but the Honda can go longer distances on the tank. Have you considered the CB500X or FZ6R? Feel like those would be great for touring
Review a ninja 300. I just bought one last week with 1km... a 2017. Curious what you’d think.
I've ridden one briefly but I'll try my best to get my hands on the 300 and maybe the 400 moving forward. If you happen to be in Edmonton and wouldn't mind me reviewing your bike that could work too. Thanks for the request Robert!
What’s the model of your helmet? It looks really dope
Thanks! I’m wearing my Icon Alliance GT in this video with the dark smoke visor.
Are you sure about 2.7 L/100km still after 2 years of this video?
Fuel is important for me. And I doubt between cb300r and Z400
Thanks
I own a CB300R, 15,000km on it so far. Had a 2017 FZ09 before the little CB, I missed the nimbleness of the Grom I sold. The CB300R is a big Grom, it does everything that I disliked about the Grom.
Lets think about it, if you fallow speed limits or go a bit above them, this bike will do it all day with no issues. I topped at 160kmh, I can ride 120kmh at 8,000rpm and this bike don't complain or over heat.
I have a new luggage rack with a Givi Trekker 42 top case on it now, it limits my top speed to 140kmh but I don't need to go any faster.
Here what is missing, gear shif indicator, sometimes you think you are in 5th but actully you are already in 6th. Honda should put the cat converter in the header instead in the muffler section, it would be easyer to fit legal slip ons. Also, Honda should bump the engine cc to 399? It would help to lower the revs at higher cruising speed and offer a real competition to the other bikes in this class.
I'm going to travel with the CB300R, add as many km as I can on it. Buying an action cam next summer, time for me to really start putting stuff on my channel :)
Thanks for watching and that’s great to hear how many kms you’ve put in! Your thoughts on the CB sound quite in line with mine. Looking forward to seeing your videos in the future, ride safe ✌️
Im thinking to get either the cb300r or a new grom, im still not sure which one. I used to have a cbr250r.
@@Icanreadgood1 Depends if you want more power, go for the bigger bike. If highway speed isn’t an issue, I highly recommend the fun factor with the Grom, especially the new 5 speed!
@@RideYEG I'm really leaning towards the grom now, I think it's a really good value.
@@Icanreadgood1 I would pay the extra and get the CB300R and have the fun of the Grom but a motorbike that can do so much more.
Did you have to install a power commander for the exhaust
No I didn’t have to
Would you get the CB300R or Svitpilan for first bike?
Svitpilan looks great but I’d go with the Honda for reliability, cost of ownership and resale. Ride safe✌️
is this the older 2019 version ? cant find a 2021 version in Europe ?
This is the 2019 model but 2019-2021 are all the same except for some color changes. Where in Europe are you watching from?
So far the cb300r isnt offered in 2021in Europe
@@freshasadaisy4782 Thanks for the information!
Lol 50th street! You're in my hood man.
Let’s go 😂😂
@@RideYEG I had a few bikes on my shortlist, but guess what I found a sweet deal on? Cb300r with a gorgeous leather seat! See you on the road next spring….after I learn to ride.
@@richardsadventures4958 That’s awesome! Let me know next spring and we’ll try to get a ride in together. ✌️
Does it have Abs front and rear?Thanks
Yes ABS is equipped front and rear on this model.
@@RideYEG What do they mean by IMU based ABS? Is it cornering ABS ?
@@nazhif1 In theory yeah but Honda isn’t officially calling it cornering abs
@@RideYEG I’ve got the 250 version and I didn’t know the ABS was IMU based. Lol just found out this week
@@nazhif1 A solid move by Honda to add it to the 300R!
How tall are you?
I'm 5 ft 6 inches (~168cm) and 138 lbs. This is a tall bike relative to the competition just to keep that in mind!
I’m chiming in for more reference points. I have the 2019 red cb300r, i’m 5’10, 150lbs 32” inseam and i can flatfoot it. The main thing keeping most people who are used to flatfooting these smaller displacement bikes is seat width. The cb’s seat is pretty wide which widens your stance and may keep anyone under 5’9 or so from flatfooting. But as YEG said, one foot down is the norm anyway buts its nice if you need to stretch a bit at a long light.
@@dylandog1289 Really appreciate the insight and totally agree. Height is not as important as inseam and seat width is often never accounted for either! Ride safe ✌️
Can the bike be lower for an new rider who never rode before? I’m 5’2”. Thanks
I believe they do make a lowering link. However I’d recommend checking out the MT03 from Yamaha as it has a much lower seat height.
