2016 Honda® CBR300R

Honda’s CBR® 300R delivers a giant dose of performance and fun way out of proportion to its engine size. Even experienced riders can’t seem to wipe the smile off their face after a ride on this modestly-sized machine. And one ride will tell you why. It’s the sporting member of our 300 lineup, with a little more bodywork. The single-cylinder engine is light and narrow, making it easier to sit on the bike and get your feet on the ground at stops. And the single-cylinder powerband with its wide torque spread is perfect for both in-town or freeway rides. The light weight makes it responsive on twisty roads. But maybe best of all, the CBR® 300R offers excellent fuel efficiency, too.

This year the CBR® 300R is available in two hot new color schemes: Bright Yellow and Matte Black, as well as Candy Orange and Matte Black. And the price is still lower than what you’d pay for a lot of used bikes.

• Single-Cylinder Engine

A single is the perfect choice for a bike like the CBR® 300R. 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.

• Counterbalance Shaft

Because it features a counterbalancer, the CBR® 300R 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.

• Fuel Injection

Fuel injection means the CBR® 300R starts right up, even in cold weather. Compared to a carbureted bike, it also helps reduce emissions and enhance performance and fuel efficiency.

• Disc Brakes

The CBR® 300R features a 296mm front and 220mm rear hydraulic disc for excellent stopping power and brake feel.

• 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.

• Narrow Seat & Low Seat Height

A low 30.7-inch seat height does more than help make sure the CBR® 300R 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. Plus, we offer a Honda Genuine Accessory seat that lowers seat height even further!

• 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 CBR® 300R's versatility.

• Under-Seat Storage

Removing the rear passenger seat provides a lockable area to throw a map, gloves or a spare set of sunglasses.

• Supersport Styling

The CBR® 300R features full-cowl Supersport styling and dual headlights, increasing aero efficiency and carrying the styling cues from our CBR®-RR series.
