Thats the point of these videos! These bikes arent exactly highway rippers, but if you need to take the highway, the bike wont hold you back at all. However, keep an eye on your oil level, these bikes are sensitive to oil level, and tend to chuck a good bit out the breather.

The top speed is 90, and that’s me going downhill, crouched over, just about bouncing off the rev limiter. That being said, this thing is like a little puppy dog that just wants to play and run around, and I love mine like I’ve never loved a machine before.

Little bikes are more fun, I visited so many places on z125 that I never be able to do on bigger bike. Stay off the highway and you will see the world

Thats the great thing about smaller dosplacement bikes, you can give them full throttle whenever you like and as often as you like, without going too crazy fast.

They have a 650 version

@@cesarcano6432 Yeah I know the CB650R. Although I wish it had a twin in it like the other motorcycles manufacturers instead of a 4 cylinder. Would make it lighter and lower the price point a bit as well

yeah i have a license for up to 48ps and the 650r has too much power and this too little

@@tomwagner6334 Right. I should've been more clear. I meant a 500 with the round head light like the 300R/650R....so a 500R. I prefer that classic look over the other but I don't think Honda makes one

This bike is more than fast enough to safely manage dallas highways. Just check the oil every once in a while if you do a lot of highway riding. As for long trips, its not the most comfortable, but neither is any naked bike with no wind protection. I did a 1200 mile road trip with mine and did 300+ miles in a day. It wasnt easy, but the cold was what got to me. tldr; The only thing that is going to limit you, is your own skill and stamina. However on the highway you will be topping up gas pretty frequently, the tank is fairly small.

In and around dfw this bike feel like you are downright cheating. It is so light that you can easily take alternate routes, slip down a back alley quickly, filter through traffic with ease, and stable enough to skip down the highway with ease.

I owned a CBR300R 2018 which is the same bike with faring. They can go 90-100 so traffic is not too bad. But what is bad is they are single cylinder and have a lot of vibrations. My bike at 75 was like its resonance frequency and would be unconformable, those like 80 or 70 was ok. I would say its not good for long trips unless your going less than 70

I own the CB300R and regularly do 100km/h (62 MPH). I don't think it would do well at 75 MPH and 100+ miles in one sitting (which I have done before) becomes painful very fast as the seat is hard. I love the 300R but I'd say it's not what you want.

In heavy traffic like that the rule I follow is, if theyre stuck in traffic I cant get pulled over by them. Jokes aside, legally, its not explicitly ilegal, but they'll probably pull ypu over if they dont like it. In general I just keep an eye out for cops and if I see one I pop into a lane and wait till I'm out of line of sight to continue. Cops are like animals, cant count on consistency.

Kind of like how car drivers never notice bikers so do cops. I feel like I get away with stuff because they never really notice the bike or just don't know what to do and has to think about it and by that time im gone

Eyyyyy guess who survived biiiiiiitch. Ironically I only ended up getting hit by a car on a day I chose to take it easy and follow all the speed limits. Funny that.

When you drive your bike like a car, you might as well be invisible.

Its a 300 single, on the highway you should expect to be pretty much tapped out. The fact that you can mash on the throttle like that is part of what makes this bike a blast to ride. As for the gas tank size, its perfectly fine unless you're on a road trip. This bike can cross the country just fine so long as you keep an eye on the oil level, but you will have to fill up the tank frequently. As for an ecu flash, I plan to get a power commander at some point mostly just to get the fueling resolved, but also for a little extra power.

At very low rpms under high load the bike will tend to act like that, especially below 4k rpms. Around 3 the bike will tend to bog fairly heavily if you are in a higher gear. Its a 300cc single after all. Keep it above 4500 and you'll be golden.

Definitely. For 3 days straight I rode almost 400 miles a day between 8-9000 rpms non stop. The bike didnt have even the slightest problem with it. However, at those rpms, it will require a top up on oil ever so often. So just keep an eye on your oil level and you'll be fine. These bikes are designed to be ridden.

@@EllaBananas thank you!!!!!

For honda bikes yes.

@@EllaBananasso like you mean, it may just eat up oil faster? Throw some more in it after a long ride if needed right?

It did get blown around a fair bit, and you do feel the wash from semis and other large vehicles. However, so long as you remain calm and counter it, theres nothing to be concerned about. Big bikes feel the wind too its something you just kinda have to get used to. And one thing the cb is great for, is teaching you to ride. Make a mistake, and the bike will let you know, but it wont actively fight you or put you in a dangerous situation unless you ask for it.

I'd say it's a very very good beginner bike. It's super approachable, easy to ride, fast enough to handle the highway once you get there, and good enough to keep you entertained for years. Granted that its not for everyone, it isnt the fastest bike if that is what you are into, but if you dont care about that, everything else about it is damn near perfect.

The best IMO. Fast enough to not be boring, but slow enough so your not going too fast when you mess up. Really easy to work on also

The cb300r has a shift light. You can adjust the point where the light comes on by reading the manual. Its often used in drag racing so you make sure to shift at the right moment for top acceleration.

@@EllaBananas thanks!!

Yup stock exhaust. Its really quite good stock.

Do you have a Instagram.....

As always, theres no replacement for actually sitting on the bike in a dealership, however I think you'll be alright. The bike will feel fairly small at your height, but depending on the length of your legs you should be plenty comfy. Again, def find a local dealership and sit on it first there really is no better way to be sure the bike fits you.

I am 6"2 and 240 pounds, no issues with the size. Riding this bike for 2 years, I just want to upgrade to buy a 650cc
