Honda CB300R 2018

The somewhat hackneyed saying "Performance isn't everything!" hits the mark with the new Honda CB300R. The bike could be sold as the epitome of lightness, both in terms of weight and handling. The high build quality in combination with the successful styling will certainly help to overlook the less than complete equipment. Thus, the CB300R represents a real enrichment for the A2 segment!

Truly smooth handling

chassis offers stability AND comfort

top build quality

IMU-ABS & full LED lighting.

Front brake needs more hand force than expected

Poorly equipped than the competition
