HONDACB300RA 2012 - 2013

　　In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB300RA, a new entry-level machine designed and produced by Honda in Brazil as a replacement for the CB250 model. At the time of its release, the maker sold the naked motorcycle 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 2013, Honda launched the CB300RA, a motorcycle in its fourth production year that didn't receive any changes whatsoever and still featured the same specifications and parts as the first released 2010 model.

　　The 2013 model 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.

　　In the performance department, the 2013 Honda CB300RA had its soul brought to life by a 291cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system that helped 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.

　　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.
