Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has launched the 2025 edition of its much-loved Neo Sports Café bike — the Honda CB300R. Designed for enthusiasts who crave performance, style, and agility in a mid-segment naked street bike, the CB300R combines premium features with Japanese precision engineering. With prices starting at ₹2.40 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s now one of the most desirable 300cc motorcycles in India.
Retro Styling Meets Modern Engineering
The CB300R 2025 continues with its minimalist Neo Sports Café design, blending old-school charm with modern touches. The sculpted fuel tank, round LED headlamp, sleek tail section, and golden USD forks create a muscular yet refined streetfighter look. The updated model also introduces new dual-tone color schemes and bronze-finished detailing for added appeal.
Punchy 286cc Engine with Honda Refinement
At the heart of the CB300R lies a 286cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC engine that churns out 31.1 PS of power and 27.5 Nm of torque. Paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox and an assist & slipper clutch, the bike delivers crisp throttle response and excellent mid-range performance — perfect for both urban rides and weekend touring.
Premium Chassis & Ride Dynamics
Built on a lightweight diamond-type frame, the CB300R weighs just 146 kg (kerb), offering superior handling and flickability. It features premium 41mm USD front forks and a 7-step adjustable mono-shock at the rear. Braking is handled by a 296mm front and 220mm rear disc setup with dual-channel ABS and IMU-based control for added confidence during aggressive braking.
Fully Digital LCD Console
The bike gets a negative LCD instrument cluster that displays gear position, RPM, speed, fuel efficiency, and service indicators. Though not Bluetooth-enabled, it’s clear and functional with a sporty layout, ideal for focused riders.
Mileage & Real-World Usability
The Honda CB300R delivers a claimed mileage of 30–35 kmpl, depending on riding style. With a 9.7-litre fuel tank and relaxed ergonomics, it offers a practical range for city runs and short highway rides. The upright handlebars and mid-set footpegs strike a balance between comfort and sportiness.
