Honda CB300F confirmed for North America
Novice riders and commuters are the main target markets for Honda’s new CB300F.
Essentially a naked version of the recently-announced CBR300R, the main difference is the lack of a fairing. Instead, the CB300F features a neat cowl that houses a single headlight and an LCD instrument display.
To help give beginners more confidence, the riding position is slightly more upright thanks to taller handlebars. Furthermore, the CB300F has a ready to ride curb weight of just 158 kg (348 lbs) and its seat height is a manageable 780 mm (30.7”). For those wanting to get even closer to the ground, a 25 mm (1”) lower saddle is available as an accessory.
Power is provided by the same fuel-injected, four-valve, single-cylinder, 286 cc engine that’s used in the CBR300R. It benefits from a counterbalance shaft and comes connected to a six-speed transmission.
In the United States, prices for the CB300F start at $3,999.
