In 2015, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB300F, a motorcycle based on the CBR300R machine, and came in two color options, such as Red and White, and a lighter package with a more upright riding position.
The bike had a wet weight of 158 kg (348 lbs) and featured its most specifications the same as the CBR300R with an optional Combined ABS (C-ABS). In addition, the bike featured black-finished aluminum wheels, an analog and digital instrument cluster, an engine mudguard, a dual seat, and a side stand.
The CB300F featured a separate passenger seat with an integrated grab rail and standard footpegs perfect for two-up rides, while under the passenger seat was located a lockable storage compartment perfect for a map, gloves, or a spare set of sunglasses.
In the performance department, the 2015 Honda CB300F took its thrust from a 286cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system and delivered an output power of 30 hp with maximum strength at 8,500 rpm and 27 Nm (20 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,250 rpm.
On the front end of the diamond-shaped twin-spar steel frame, the bike packed a 37 mm telescopic fork and a Pro-link monoshock absorber with five-position preload adjustability on the rear.
As for braking performance, the bike featured a 296 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that offered optimum stopping power.
