Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Launches 2023 CB300R At Rs. 2.40 Lakh

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has launched the OBD2A compliant 2023 CB300R. 

Drawing design inspiration from the retro-themed CB1000R litre-class roadster, 2023 CB300R is Honda’s ultra-modern minimalistic take on the timeless roadster design. It boasts a muscular fuel tank and a beefy upswept exhaust that is based on neo sports cafe DNA. The styling quotient is further enhanced by an all-LED lighting system (round LED headlamp, LED winkers and LED tail lamp). 

Tipping the scales at 146kg, CB300R is the lightest motorcycle in its category with the promise of an agile handling. Complimenting this are 41mm USD front forks and an adjustable mono-shock absorber at the rear. Braking duties are handled by 296mm disc brake (front) and 220mm disc (rear) with dual-channel ABS as standard. There is also a fully digital instrument cluster, and it now gets emergency stop signal and hazard light switch as well.Introducing Honda’s latest premium BigWing motorcycle, Tsutsumu Otani, Managing Director, President & CEO, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “With a legacy spanning four continents along with fine balance of performance & versatility, the CB300R is an ultimate gateway for young riders to brand Honda’s engineering prowess, design philosophy and premium build quality.”

At the heart of the new Honda CB300R lies a 286.01cc, 4 stroke, single-cylinder BSVI OBD2A compliant PGM-FI engine, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. This motor churns out 22.9 kW power and 27.5 Nm of torque. It also gets an assist slipper clutch which eases gearshifts and manages rear wheel lock-up on hard down shifts while deceleration.

Commenting on the launch of 2023 CB300R, Yogesh Mathur, Director, Sales and Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “HMSI's wide-ranging line-up of mid-weight high-performance motorcycles continue to flourish with today's launch of CB300R for the Indian customers.”

The 2023 Honda CB300R will be available in Pearl Spartan Red and Matte Massive Grey Metallic colour variants.

The bike has been priced at Rs. 2,40,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Bookings are now open, and this Neo Sports Café Roadster will be sold via the company’s BigWing dealerships only.
