2016 Honda CBR300R | Motorcycle Buyer’s Guide
The Honda CBR300R is a 250 with something extra—more displacement for the DOHC single. By lengthening the stroke by 8mm via a new crankshaft and connecting rod, the smallest CBR gains 37cc from the 250 version, making it a 286cc machine.
More compression has also been added and the internal volume of the exhaust system increased, so the engine changes are oriented towards more torque. Narrow sidecovers and seat makes it easier for the rider to touch the ground when at rest. Optional ABS adds $500 to the price and seven pounds to the weight.
