Verdict
The Honda CB300R's disappearance from the official website hints at an unannounced discontinuation. Despite its strong design, premium feel, and lively performance, the bike couldnt draw enough buyers in the fiercely competitive 300cc space. With modern rivals offering more features and value, the CB300Rs exit seems inevitable, unless Honda surprises us with a refreshed, feature-packed comeback.
