I am 61 and have been riding 50 years. I have a 2018 that I ride the $hit out of. It is fun to ride and Rock Solid reliable.. I put 8000 miles on it last year. Not a single issue.
I got a r3 as my first bike and went amd got a 2018 cbr300r and still absolutely love these small bikes. I took the r3 cross country a few years ago and planing on taking the little cbr also from California to Massachusetts
I’ve always like these wanted to add a small cc bike to the garage. In the saddle since 1985 and I can appreciate how these have improved over the years. Might be time
@@telmorodrigues1093 as much as I love the r3 and what it deliever I'll have to stick to the cbr300 as my go to small bike. When you think of honda you know what you're geting . They are known for their dependable amd reliability. I've took my r3 to Indiana a few yrs ago and going to do another cross country road trip with the cbr and feel very confident that it'll do it with no problem. Not saying the r3 can't do it but im more comfortable with a cbr300 in the long run
Hit a mid life crisis at 36 & purchased an orange 2016 CBR300R back in November. No experience prior & am actually able to get out to ride now. Nice review bud.
DEEZ DONUTZ no regrets at all. Didn’t like the more aggressive seat position of the 600. Wanted something cheap to learn on and develop beginner rider habits. Being able to open the throttle with a 300 & shift properly was more important than going 0-60 in 3 seconds.
I would only say that after the first year I do want to go faster. But it's really all about what you're doing. You can always trade it in, but expect to only get about 2000$ on the offer.
My mid life crisis at 49 Feb 2019 - happened to know someone on Facebook selling her CBR300R when I was going for my Learner's. No regrets not getting a 600. I think it's suitable as a "beginner's bike" BUT... it's more than that. It holds its own on freeways so I'll be keeping it for quite a while.
Thanks for your video. I bought my first bike, a Cbr300r 2015 model, this past July. I just did a 650km round trip last weekend. It’s an amazing bike, I love how it handles on the open roads. I watched your video before deciding to go for mine.
I just ordered the 2022 model in black . Should have it by the end of next week . Your video was one of many that sold me as a novice . I'm so excited !!! Thanks for your video... great work.
I got a 2018 model in november of 2020 with 0 miles for $4k. Absolutely love it!!! I would reccomend anyone to ride this if you are a beginner. I'm itching to get something bigger but with the current economy, not gonna happen. Still am rippin my little cbr though and loving every minute
I love this bike. I've owned a Kawasaki Z1000, a Yamaha FZ6, and this bike and this one is by far my favorite. Just know, many motorcycle enthusiasts will not respect this bike because of the small displacement - ignore them. At this point in my life, I'm not interested in doing wheelies and running from the cops. I just want to feel connected to the road and have a bit of fun tossing a lightweight machine around. This bike is perfect for that!
Awesome dude just found your channel great review of honda CBR 300r I just new into biking think I've just found my first bike I like I am small only 9 stone weight and 5 6 height thanks safe riding 👍🙂🇬🇧
I hadn't riden for about 30 years then got this, this is in my top 2 favorite bikes I've owned, and I've had world class superbikes. Very Good Review. I would suggest looking at inexpensive helmets also, my LS2 is a good deal and a very nice helmet in my opinion.
Everybody our here selling 300 is a little out of the city and I don't have a license and they all want me to pay full and come pick it up... Like lol ok I guess don't sell
I Weigh 225 and the cbr300r handles me well. I don't do a hundred anyway. I haven't had mine over 75 that is plenty fast enough for me. It is a single cylinder, but it has a long stroke head giving it amble power down low.
Hehe, I got a 2016 black and red CBR300RA (with ABS). I too also squeeze my bike out between two family cars to get it out, I too have a black and red Shoei helmet with the integrated Sena bluetooth system. I too had a slight oil leak issue which I had to pay a mechanic to fix (mine was purchased used) It's also my first bike so I have limited experience, however, I think it's a little under-rated. Most videos and reviews I see about the CBR300R seem to emphasise how much of a "beginner's" bike this is, but I intend to keep mine for a long time. It may be considered low-powered (for a sports bike) but it still has plenty of room to accelerate on the highways and freeways even at over 100kmph/60mph and can go fast enough to break the law. While I'm sure a 600 or Liter super sports would be thrilling fun, this bike still looks as cool and is cheaper to run than my hybrid car! With the price of fuel these days, I'm in no hurry to "upgrade"
At least the way that honda cars work that ring with notches seams to me like it is apart of the speed reading when a notch moves past the magnetic sensor it knows that the wheel has moves that far
I have one of these bikes, after 25+ years on dirt bikes only from a 1975 pe 175, tt500 heaps of 250s and the last few have been xr400s , this is my first 'street bike' (last 15 years my dirt bikes all been on the road) and I really like the CBR it never gets away from me, mine now has 1500km on it I'm on it at every opportunity. And the speed limit in most of Australia is 100km/h or 60m/h its fast enough around here! Enjoy your ride my friend, any 2 wheels with a engine is good!
Hey dude good choice!! that thing looks awesome. I started when I was 15, on a Honda Sl 100 1972. loved it. hold on to that one man, I am 19, and I have driven a lot of stuff from a 1200cc BMW, to CBR 650R sport bike, to a 2 stroke dirtbike ect. But let me tell you, I miss my smaller bike!!! don't sell it man, no rush to get something you will regret because it is too fast. Awesome choice! stay safe!
@@DavidtheWelder748 Yeah dude! I find it more fun to go fast on a slower bike (its not a slow bike) then to go slow on a fast bike. for real, I often wish I could feel the powerband on mine hit, but I would be doing 2x the speed limit. kinda succs in a way
I just put an Akrapovic muffler on my 17cbr300r & it feels like it has Double the amount of power as compared to stock. If you don’t have an aftermarket muffler for his bike, you are definitely missing out.. 🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼
I'm seriously thinking very hard on getting one for my 1st bike. I have zero experience and never even sat on a bike. I'm wanting to teach myself, and practicing in parking lots.
skyrim overlord I had that bike and I loved it but out grew it very fast. I never rode a bike till the day I rode it off the lot a great bike tho I’d get that over the 400
You will outgrow the 300 fast as well. It's a good commuter no matter what, but when you meet other bikers and they leave you in the dust, it's not much fun.
Thanks for your video. I'm torn between this one or Kawasaki 300. Both are nice bikes but I'm 5'0" so it's hard to find something without getting it lowered. Ps your insurance is $100 per year mine would be $125 per month! Crazy Canadian prices!!!! I'm moving to Texas lol jk
This video gave me a great reference point on something very specific. I’m about 130 and I was curious what the top speed would be. There’s one road that has a 70 mph speed limit and that means I would at least need to be around 80
Need yours guy's help. Debating getting this 2015 cbr 300r non abs for 3000 CAD with 8,000 kms or 2013 ninja 3000 ABS only 2,000kms for 3400 CAD. Keep in mind this will be my first bike.
Fair warning I’ve never owned a motorcycle but as someone who is looking into buying one having ABS would probably be good for a beginner and it has far less mileage for only a little more money. There’s certainly something to be said about Honda reliability but Kawasaki is a good brand too. Good luck!
Is it heavy? I am worried about the weight of it more than anything, I have ridden the z125 pro when I took my safety course, loved it, but I want something that has enough speed to use on the highway.
Is quite light but the lightest over 125cc is the newer and nicer Honda cb300r, i have one and is very nice as very light and nimble beginner bike. Is like 40 lbs/18kg lighter than this one
what about Suzki GSX250R? ........or this bike here.....or another 300 to consider would be a Yamaha YZF-R3. The Yam R3 is like a smaller less powerful version of the R6. So the 250 Suzuki, the Honda CBR300 or the Yamaha R3 are all great bikes for new riders - they're sport bikes but without the phenomenal power than bigger sports bikes like 600's, 750's and upwards have. The 250, and 300's won't scare you and are ideal for starting off with when considering a sportsbike. They would all be fine for using on the highway, but perhaps not ideal for touring. They're more for commuting, and short weekend ride outs with mates etc, and shorter journeys on highway routes.
How much did yoy pay for it? What was yout insurance like since you were a beginner? Do you think someone who's 5'5 and 250 pounds would be fine on this bike? I'm considering this for my first one I'm just worried I'm too fat or I'll waste money
$3500k brand new, $3,000 around for used. Insurance should be less than $200/yr Your 5’5 will be fine, along with the 250 lbs. It’s a fantastic first so I don’t think you’ll waste your money. Though some people are different so I have heard some of them wanted to get something more powerful. But on the contrary, heard that this was plenty fine.

Though some people are different so I have heard some of them wanted to get something more powerful. But on the contrary, heard that this was plenty fine.
Would you recommend this bike for a smaller rider? I’m only about 115 pounds, looking for a smaller displacement bike and like this one but don’t know if I’m pushing my limits.
At 115 lbs you’re literally the perfect size for this you’ll be able to keep up with 600’s thru twisty roads easy obviously you’re not gonna be pushing triple digits often but at your weight u can easily hit 110mph on the freeway, the seat height is around 30in so very accessible for anyone to sit on from 5’0”-5’10”, if you’re worried that a 300 is too much for you I’d recommend taking some riding courses cause a 300 is small game all things considered. Hope that helped 😁
Okay now, take my explanation with a grain of salt as I’ve only looked this stuff up because I want to ride soon, so I haven’t ridden myself. The typical fashion of a motorcycle gearbox is ‘1 down, 5 up’. When you start, you’re gonna be in neutral. Press down goes to one, then if you do *half* a shift up, it goes back to neutral. However, a *full* shift up kinda skips over neutral and goes into 2nd. And of course, you have the friction zone you have when you release the clutch to match your throttle so you don’t throw yourself. Now, I am told finding neutral coming down the gears can be tricky for a new(er) rider but can’t say myself. Practice makes perfect in that regard, and luckily I drive a manual transmission so it shouldn’t be too difficult for me to adjust accordingly. Because I know the gist of that type of transmission, even with me not riding yet I’m confident I’ll have it down more simply than those who don’t. Hope that helps! Like that guy said ^ just kinda get on one and feel for yourself. 😉
You just pull thru neutral it's harder to go into neutral rather than 2nd don't over think it most everything is pretty simple designed and well thought out
I prefer 250r w.r.t 300r It looks much cooler than 300r and I have riding it for last 10years,went every terrain but honda never hesitated and comfort is good-its a sports tourer
you need to take a real sport bike class, there's a lot involved in riding sport bikes properly. It's very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing

The typical fashion of a motorcycle gearbox is ‘1 down, 5 up’. When you start, you’re gonna be in neutral. Press down goes to one, then if you do *half* a shift up, it goes back to neutral. However, a *full* shift up kinda skips over neutral and goes into 2nd. And of course, you have the friction zone you have when you release the clutch to match your throttle so you don’t throw yourself. Now, I am told finding neutral coming down the gears can be tricky for a new(er) rider but can’t say myself.
Practice makes perfect in that regard, and luckily I drive a manual transmission so it shouldn’t be too difficult for me to adjust accordingly.
Because I know the gist of that type of transmission, even with me not riding yet I’m confident I’ll have it down more simply than those who don’t.
Hope that helps! Like that guy said ^ just kinda get on one and feel for yourself. 😉
Neutral is between 1 and 2 so it’s a half shift up from 1st gear
You just pull thru neutral it's harder to go into neutral rather than 2nd don't over think it most everything is pretty simple designed and well thought out
I prefer 250r w.r.t 300r
It looks much cooler than 300r and I have riding it for last 10years,went every terrain but honda never hesitated and comfort is good-its a sports tourer
which year is this bike ?
2018
you need to take a real sport bike class, there's a lot involved in riding sport bikes properly. It's very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing
How’d you get the wife to approve😂 That’s my issue!
I bought it without asking. It's the ONLY way my friend.
That’s my current issue too. The best bet is not tell her unfortunately.
Any mention of it, the mood changes dramatically.
If you buy it, ride it every day or she’ll probably choke you out. Lol.
I have the opposite problem...hubby won’t let me get one! Grr!
Current issue
I just aged and need a bigger bike...bye. Want my 5 min back
My first bike hayabusa 2023 the only problem its to heavy to get it out of the garage. Other than that, it's awesome
I'm in houston too. Nw area. Wanna sell it?
Sure. I need 3k for it
@@DavidtheWelder748 still have it by chance? 😅😂

@@kameronmclendon557 I still have it yeah. I still owe a little over 2K on it. Lol.
@@DavidtheWelder748 well, I wanna get into riding and thought the CBR300R would be perfect for me. So if you’re willing to part, let me know. 😉😂
@@kameronmclendon557 I will give it some thought! I could sell it to you and put that down on a 650. I’d need like 3k or so. Are you in Texas?
Oh no! 40 degrees 😂🤣
lol l
Do you review your bike, or your helmet? Or you explain how to drive??
Kind of non sense ...
I can if you want. I made a small video, but I think it could have been better honestly
