Honda CB300F
This street sport bike is powered by a 293.5cc 4-stroke engine producing 24.5 PS and 25.6 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. In terms of features, it's well-equipped - dual-channel ABS, USD front forks, and a rear monoshock. All lights are LED, and it comes with a fully digital instrument cluster along with a USB-C phone charger. The bike is available in two variants: the standard version, compatible with E20 fuel, and a flex-fuel version that can run on ethanol up to E85.
All these factors make it a special bike, and it has now become even more appealing with the reduced pricing. Let's hope Honda markets this move well and attracts new customers.
The new GST rate has brought down its price by Rs 15,000, and these both variants, costs the same. Other models with above 300cc like Hness CB350 now starts at Rs 192,435 (ex-showroom), and the top variant, DLX Pro Chrome now cost Rs 197,003 (ex-showroom).

Verdict
This is a very mature 300cc motorcycle, and in its segment, it offers one of the best engines in terms of refinement and reliability. It handles well and exudes confidence-inspiring looks. The E85 fuel compatibility makes it a standout, as many buyers have been cautious about new products due to uncertainties around E20 fuel and the possibility of it increasing to E27 or E30 in the coming years. With this bike, Honda is offering an E85-compatible option - one you definitely can't miss.
