The Honda CB300R is powered by a 286 cc, single-cylinder engine and will be priced below Rs. 2.5 lakh

The Honda CB300R is powered by a liquid-cooled, 286 cc, DOHC, single-cylinder engine which puts out 30.9 bhp at 8,500 rpm and peak torque of 27.5 Nm at 7,500 rpm. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox and the kerb weight is rated at 143 kg. The fuel tank capacity is 10 litres, and Honda claims the range of the CB300R will be over 300 km in a tankful of fuel. The CB300R has 296 mm front disc brakes with radial mounted four-point brake calipers with standard ABS. And the sophisticated braking system is supported by an inertial measurement unit (IMU) seen on high-level sportbikes, to give precise front to rear distribution of ABS depending on the vehicle posture controlling the roll, pitch and yaw of the motorcycle. Full LED lighting, a full-digital LCD instrument panel and a completely radical and neo-retro design give the CB300R a unique and stylish design.

Now, HMSI seems to have given some thought, and with an attractive price, the CB300R could be the next volumes driver in the rapidly growing 200-500 cc motorcycle segment. In India, the Honda CB300R will be available in two colours - Matte Axis Gray Metallic and Candy Chromosphere Red. Bookings are available at select Honda Wing World outlets across the country.

While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
