The Honda CB300RA was an entry-level machine manufactured by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer in 2010 as a replacement for the CB250 model and sold only in Brazil and South America.
The bike featured the styling borrowed from its larger Honda CB600F Hornet sibling and had a suggested price of $11,490, higher that the Honda CBX Twister, which sold for around $9,600. Also, the bike was available in four color schemes, such as Silver, Black, Red, and Gold.
In addition, the bike came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as five-spoke cast aluminum wheels, a one-piece, two-up seat with passenger grab rails, a black-finished steel frame, a large triangular headlight, and an analog and digital instrument cluster.
For suspension, the bike packed a conventional telescopic fork on the front and a monoshock absorber on the rear, while the braking power was handled by a 276 mm disc squeezed by a hydraulic caliper on the front wheel and a 130 mm drum braking unit on the rear wheel that offered optimum stopping performance.
The Honda CB300RA was powered by a 291cc engine fitted with Honda's Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system and had a great possibility to enter the European market due to its PGM-FI fuel injection system that made the engine green and passing the Euro emission regulations.
As for performance, the 2011 Honda CB300RA had its muscles from a 291cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 26 hp with maximum strength at 7,500 rpm and 28 Nm (20 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,000 rpm.
