I had this as a second bike for 2 years now and it is fun to ride on the local hills and country roads. I also ride it in the winter when my other bike is stored in the garage waiting for sunnier days. No bike is perfect especially in this price range. But it's still Honda and with a little bit of care will run for many years. I have replaced the original sprockets with good quality aftermarket ( not expensive ) and the chain noise disappeared. The forward sprocket had a little bit more free play and I suppose this was making the noise. Safe ride and enjoy your bikes.

The "chain noise" is actually not come from the chain. It come from the ring in the rear sprocket. Cut out the ring and the noise will go away. Btw the chain is good quality one and you don't have to replace it.

@@Tonyx.yt. I owned a CB150 ExMotion, a variant of your CB300 with an 150cc engine. Not like yours, my bike has not just them same sprockets noise ring, although it is an 428 not 520 , but also a bad chain. It doesn't have O-ring and stretch very fast. So after 7000km I have to replace the whole chain-spockets combo. In your CB300, you have a good chain and sprockets, so you just need to cut the ring. That's all.

Have the same exact bike 1year old at a little over 1300 miles. You’re right on the money with the cons and the pros. I Love this bike, it’s perfect for little commutes but getting tired of the very short gears and the constant rattling. Other than that it’s such a great bike probably keeping after upgrading to something bigger just to hop on for a short fun ride.

The white flash light is set to 7500rpm from factory so you dont overrev it for the first 1000km till the first oil change. You can set the light to whatever revs you like in the available range of the engine so it doesn´t flash an 60mph all the time 🙂

US gallon, the CB 500f great on fuel too, 100 mp UK gallon (4.5lt). More power but 190kg wet with a much bigger price. I guess if it was just running around town and commuting, I'd go for the 300 and the extra price for the 500, would buy extra petrol. I've been riding since the 70s and think economy is a must nowadays.

Nice review. I've had my CB300R since 2019. That white blinking light at 64 mph is actually linked to RPM not speed and is supposed to indicate when to change up gear. You can change that to whatever RPM you like, see the manual. I set mine to 10,000 rpm, so I rarely see it come on.

Hello Nail, If I don't mind taking a bit more time to accelerate and absolutely don't mind riding any faster than 100 km/h (60 miles/h - speed limit in Netherlands), do you think it would be a good idea to put a +1 or +2 front sprocket and -1 or -2 rear sprocket so that in 6th gear at 100 km/h (60 miles/hour) the engine would be at around 5500 rpm. Would that be fine for the engine? Thank you and ride safely !

Can you give more detail about what you mean be highway speeds? In Texas, highway speeds are often 85 mph and above, to keep up with traffic. As much detail as possible is welcome. As a note, this is not at all built for highway riding, so anyone looking to do a lot of highway should really reconsider.
