LIGHT, NARROW, NIMBLE, FUN.
Honda’s CBR300R has impeccable sportbike credentials: It’s light, narrow, and offers Grand Prix styling. But it’s also a perfect bike for zipping around town. Its single-cylinder engine offers terrific fuel economy and a wide, friendly torque delivery. The suspension and chassis offer responsive handling. Around town it’s a nimble gem. On a winding back road it’s a blast. The low cost and light weight make it a perfect first bike. And there’s even a version available with Honda’s optional anti-lock brakes.

Comfort
- NARROW SEAT & LOW SEAT HEIGHT: A low 30.7-inch seat height does more than help make sure the CBR300R fits a wide range of riders. It makes it easier to put your feet down at stoplights and in parking lots—a big confidence builder.
Convenience
- PASSENGER READY: A separate passenger seat, integrated grab rail and standard passenger footpegs mean you can take a friend along when you go riding—another example of the CBR300R's versatility.
- UNDER-SEAT STORAGE: Removing the rear passenger seat provides a lockable area to throw a wallet, gloves or a spare set of sunglasses.
Engineering
- COUNTERBALANCE SHAFT: Because it features a counterbalancer, the CBR300R engine is a smooth runner. You get the narrow overall width and power advantages of a single along with the smoothness of a multi-cylinder bike.
- ANALOG/DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION: The CBR300R’s digital gauges with analog tachometer provide vital riding information in a styled, hi-tech instrumentation package featuring digital speedometer, fuel gauge, coolant temp, tripmeter/odometer and clock.
- ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: Our ABS—available on the CBR300R—can be a big help in making controlled stops in less-than-ideal conditions, like on wet pavement or when there’s sand or other debris on the road. It’s the perfect choice whether you’re using your new bike as a commuter or just riding it for fun, since it helps you stop with added confidence.
- DISC BRAKES: The CBR300R features a 296mm front and 220mm rear hydraulic disc for excellent stopping power and brake feel.
Handling
- PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION: The CBR300R uses a single-shock preload-adjustable rear suspension that not only gives you a smooth ride but helps enhance handling as well, like some of our larger sport models.
Performance
- SINGLE-CYLINDER ENGINE: A single is the perfect choice for a bike like the CBR300R. It's light, simple, fuel efficient and features a broad powerband with plenty of low-revving torque—just what you want in your first motorcycle, but geared for comfortable cruising at highway speeds.
- FUEL INJECTION: Fuel injection means the CBR300R starts right up, even in cold weather. Compared to a carbureted bike, it also helps reduce emissions and enhance performance and fuel efficiency.
Style
- SUPERSPORT STYLING: The CBR300R features full-cowl Supersport styling and dual headlights, increasing aero efficiency and carrying the styling cues from our CBR-RR series.
