2023 Honda® CB300R ABS

2023 Honda® CB300R ABS

Features may include:

• Performance advantage

The CB300R’s compact 286 cc DOHC four-valve, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine is valued among riders for its free-revving, responsive nature. The engine also works extraordinarily well in real-world road-riding conditions, providing plenty of power both around town and out on the highway.

• Efficient design

To reduce maintenance costs – an important factor for many riders – the engine is also designed with the minimum number of moving parts. Details like the low­ friction piston rings, high­ density core radiator and iridium spark plug help increase efficiency.

• Confidence inspiring

The power of the engine combined with the six-speed transmission produces a remarkably broad torque curve for strong low-RPM performance. This makes the CB300R easy to ride, in both stop-and-go situations and on the highway, while also returning impressive fuel economy.

• Less vibration – more comfort

A gear-driven counterbalance shaft helps quell engine vibration for enhanced rider comfort. It’s located so close to the crankshaft that the balancer weight passes between the two crank weights to keep the engine as compact as possible while improving mass centralization.

• Premium construction

The CB300R’s frame — which helps underpin its minimalist style, drawn on the same Neo Sports Café lines as the CB1000R and CB650R — is constructed with tubular and pressed steel; the swingarm is manufactured from steel plate, irregularly shaped in cross-section.

• Standard ABS

Front brake is a radial-mounted, 4-piston caliper, wave-style disc brake. The rear is a single piston caliper, 220 mm wave disc and both are regulated during use by 2-channel ABS. This high-specification system works through an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) providing a finely-balanced, front-to-rear operation and incredible feel, in virtually all riding conditions.

• Outstanding manoeuvrability

Curb weight of only 142 kg and compact 1,355 mm wheelbase gives the CB300R outstanding manoeuvrability and helps instill rider confidence and excitment.

• Riding comfort

A narrow comfortable seat and riding position makes it easier for riders to develop their skills and enjoyment as a great introduction to our legendary lineup of motorcycles

• Grip & handling

Full-sized 17-inch lightweight aluminum wheels with tires sized at 110/70R-17 front and 150/60R­17 rear to provide big-bike feel, grip and handling traits.

• Advanced stability

Great handling starts with a superior chassis, which is why the CB300R uses special frame construction designed to be both light and strong. The steel swingarm is designed to provide high longitudinal rigidity and control torsion without being harsh or heavy. This means you get confidence-inspiring feel and feedback, especially while cornering. The 41 mm Showa SFF-BP USD forks also complement the CB300R’s handling, with compliant damping and supple spring rate. The single rear shock offers 7 step spring preload adjustment.

• Information at a glance

A thin lightweight full-function LCD instrument display provides speed, engine RPM, fuel level and gear shift & position indicator simply, with warning lights arrayed across the top.

• Fit and finish

Full LED lighting – including indicators – adds a premium yet timeless feel and contributes to mass centralisation. The headlight uses a dual bar light signature, upper for low beam and lower for high beam and the taillight is the thinnest ever mounted on a Honda motorcycle.
