Now, let us move to the front, where you have a fully-LED headlight with LED turn indicators and USD front forks finished in brushed gold. Speaking about the rider’s display, the digital rider’s display is crisp. It offers all the information that a rider would need while riding. But I felt that the display is tiny, making it slightly hard to read owing to its size. Moreover, you have buttons on the left side of the handlebar that aids you in toggling through the controls of the screen, so you don’t have to let go of the handlebar while riding. Since I am on the topic of buttons, the fit and finish of the motorcycle are decent, just like something you’d expect to see from Japan, and everything is minimalist and on point.
The tank is a 14.1-litre tank made from fibre, just as you’d expect from a motorcycle at this price point. A great talking point of the CB300F is its seat which is extremely comfortable and comes with quite a lot of seat cushioning, reducing the saddle soreness that riders have during long journeys. Now the rear 3/4th of the CB300F does look quite appealing with its 150-section rear tyre, rear LED taillights and a sporty-looking exhaust. All in all, the CB300F does look quite nice, but to an untrained eye, it might get mixed up with the Hornet 2.0, which isn’t something you want in a bike of this price.
You’d be surprised to know that the Honda CB300F is actually quite feature-loaded. On the safety front, it has dual-channel ABS with Honda selectable torque control (traction control in layman’s terms). Moving on, you have a type-c USB charger which was something I saw for the first time in a motorcycle and an assisted slipper clutch, more about which I will explain shortly.
