At the beginning, we introduce ourselves, we are polite, we move forward almost timidly to blend in with the crowd … and then, when things start to move, we want to be inside with a more assertive conviction. The CBR 300 is also like that. No question of perpetuating the silhouette of small 1200 VFR that was the CBR 250. And then, muscle! She wants to respond with more gniak when the pilot feels like playing with his right hand. So, Honda got down to work and this little sportswoman benefits from a notch more pleasant than its predecessor in 1/4 liter..
No more VFR aspect! A CBR, it must look like a CBR. By becoming 300, it also drew heavily on the pencil stroke of the 500 and reminds us noticeably of the CBR 1000 RR. Suddenly, put side by side, they look like false binoculars. Gratifying for the youngest, and flattering for the owner: “Is it a 500? A 600 your CBR?” should ask him neophytes friends and curious.
Under its finery, the CBR 300 R uses very classic technical solutions. A frame made of Diamond-type steel tubes, a fork with 37 mm diameter tubes, Pro-Link rear suspension with mono-shock absorber and two brake discs – a 296 mm disc with 2-piston caliper at the front and 220 mm at the rear with single piston caliper. A 2-channel ABS is installed as standard. All this for 164 kilos fully packed, a few pounds lighter since the 250 and 30 less than the CBR 500.
Big facelift on the side of the dressing, that will not be enough to create a new identity. So, we move away the walls, we keep the bore but we lengthen the stroke. The single cylinder gains 8 mm, brings its total cubic capacity to 286 cm3 and gains a handful of horsepower and torque. The CBR 300 released a little more than 30 guns and 2.9 mkg, while the 2 and a half claimed 26 guns, and 0.4 mkg less.
The CBR 300, however, cannot compete in pure power with its direct competitor, the Kawasaki 300 Ninja, credited with 39 horsepower. But the maximum power of the Honda is available 2500 very earlier. Will the character of the mono appeal more than the youthful ardor of the twin Kawa? Let’s not forget the KTM RC 390, whose impetuous engine could well the two Japanese observers. For a different price too.
The gait is incisive; will the CBR be radical? Not really. The bike is closer to a Sport-GT than to a genuine pistarde. You only have to see the height of the half-handlebars to understand that the bust will not be lying on the tank. The saddle has been refined to allow you to better put your feet on the ground.
Although the sales figures for sports cars in this category are in the confidential range, Honda does not hesitate to develop this entry-level sports car. To strategically occupy the ring facing the Kawa 300? Especially to conquer emerging countries, a market where the CBR 300 R will mainly be sold. With us, it allows you to taste the CBR style while benefiting from a reduced cost of use. Nice sport for a certain clientele.
