2019 Honda CB300R Review | MC Commute

[@cappamura]

The cb300r is like the hotter twin sister that you didn't know the cb300f had til you met her family for the first time.

[@EverythingisFire]

I love that analogy.

[@daynmitchell7543]

Mini bike build!

[@EverythingisFire]

The CB300R is basically a re-design of the F. I've forgotten now but the suspension might be better on the new one. Plus it lost a chunk of weight; Other than that, it's a nice re-design. @biggirlanna

[@ccgb92]

ROFL!

[@classicsalted]

The best comment I've read in a while!

[@danielswords3969]

I add these comments just in case someone is shopping for a motorcycle and looking for reviews. I believe a problem with most English speaking KZbin motorcycle vlogs is they all assess their machines from the perspective of toys primarily for entertainment. As an older person in America living on a small fixed pension and social security, I assess my (less than) 300 cc single cylinder Honda motorcycle to be among the most affordable and reliable personal transportation options with the smallest negative environmental impacts for travel beyond a 50 mile radius. I can an very often do comfortably ride my CB 300RA at highway speeds for 4 to 6 hours/day for multiple successive days. I believe the single cylinder and 8,000 miles service intervals and 70+ mpg fuel consumption should be highlighted more as positive aspects. Until I become constrained to a personal mobility device I will say this is much more than just a beginner’s motorcycle, this is an excellent transportation option.

[@pauls8456]

Nicely said.

[@DoveisbackOG]

Thanks a lot for the comment, i was about to make a huge mistake and get my self a 1000cc, but i got to see a Review of someone saying that getting way to high mileage on your first bike ain't a good option for begginers So this actually made me realize that starting low in some cases is a great option for keeping safe and have a long life.

[@tomaszskowron2981]

This must be a great motorcycle for daily use. Nevertheless, if I had an opportunity to choose, I would like the engine to be slightly bigger (at least a full 300cc or even 350cc) with a higher piston stroke some 70-75mm instead of 63mm, even "at the cost" of a lower top speed. I would prefer the bike to run max at 120-125 km/h instead of 145-150 km/h but to have a bit more torque at lower and mid rpm. In India they have Honda CB 350 H'Ness - a great motorcycle, 348cc to be precise and "only" 21 hp... but the piston's stroke is 90mm and because of that the maximum torque is available at 3000 rpm which is even more interesting for a commuter bike. Cheers and ride safe

[@BikingChap]

My view too, when i review bikes i just try to call out the good points. I don't rag the hell out of a 300 and moan it's not as quick as a litre bike and then dismiss it as a beginner bike etc :)

[@jimstenlund6017]

@@tomaszskowron2981Just change the gearing and you should be good.

This bike is the shit. I've tried it several times and to anyone doubting on whether or not purchasing it, if I had to describe in three words those would be: light, nimble and torqueish. EXTREMELY GOOD starting motorcycle.

Well done Adam. Like others, I’m glad MC Commute is back! As for the video, you like to ride fast, lots of throttle blipping especially at stop lights, well narrative and descriptions, but no walk around before or after the commute. I’d like to “see” a little more of the bike. We saw a lot of the dash, but that’s about it. You did well and I’m happy MC Commute is back! Thanks!

I have lived in Thailand for quite a while. When it comes to attention to detail and presentation the Thais are amazing. The quality of this bike is not a surprise. This bike gives me shivers quite a step up from my Honda Click.

[@stuartclubb4302]

As a 2017 CB300F owner, I like it. Same engine (tweaked a bit), ABS, very nicely styled (like the front indicators and headlight) and quite a bit lighter. USD forks too. Usable tank ring (a big minus on the CB300F). But almost an inch higher seat height, and the gas tank is 20% smaller (2.7 gallons) vs the old 300F (3.4 gallons). I suspect it will be very popular, though I think they missed the opportunity to have a 30" seat height to make beginners and the more vertically challenged feel comfortable.

[@cagednm69]

The project head behind this bike is the same guy who engineered the Honda Blackbird and the RC213V-S road going prototype MotoGP bike. That's why its lighter than the competition by a huge margin!

We don't mind getting wet when out but don't like starting off that way for a ride out. Keep up the good work. The CB300r seems a good commuter bike and gets really good reviews but I have to say, yours is the most thorough review we have seen. Thank you. Graeme.

[@mattevans5812]

This is the best bang for the buck you can get in motorcycle. I could stop there but after trying to convince a new rider this was the bike at the local dealer he should buy I bought the bike. I've crossed Canada on a bike, not this bike, and it isn't the highways I bought this bike for its the twisty roads that are most fun to ride and this bike makes you feel like a rockstar in the corners. I push this bike harder than I would a bigger bike because there's no fear you're going to hit a bump and blip the throttle and break traction causing a lowside crash. More confidence inspiring and holds any line you want without slowing down all while burning barely any gas. I'm not interested in top speed, if you need to go 200mph than you need a litre bike, or bigger, but if you don't care how fast an idiot can go in a straight line because on the highway you do the speed of traffic and push it in the twisties then you won't won't have any buyers remorse from buying this bike as a new rider or if you have a couple other horses in the barn like I do.

In Canada the 390 Duke costs quite a bit more than the CB300R. I thought about a Duke but price and is quite a bit higher in Canada than the CB300R and I don't feel they are as reliable but if I could get a new Duke for less money than a new or slightly used CB300R I would do that.

Best review I have found while researching this Honda CB300R.

[@johntharp22]

I own one of these; if you want to go faster than about 75mph for long stretches, get something else. For the riding I do, it is perfect. I get 64mpg average, the bike starts every time and is a blast to ride. It has a pleasant engine sound, great suspension even for a bigger guy, and I think it looks wonderful. It’s a pleasure to throw a leg over. I would buy it again in a heartbeat if I were allowed a do-over. I got mine for $3,200 from a shop that was badly damaged by a fire. There was still soot and smoke residue on parts of the bike, so I was concerned initially, but it’s been flawless.

One improvement I would suggest is to do a walk around of the bike at some point during the video. We catch a little glimpse of the bike at the beginning and end, but it would be nice to have at least a short 360 to see the bike from a few different angles. Other than that, I think this was perfect. Great job!

You don’t need to use a clutch to shift up when you’re using a sequential manual. Ease off the throttle, pull up on the shift lever, and you’ll get a really smooth gear change under acceleration. By closing the throttle, you’re doing the same job as a quick shifter would do by cutting the ignition. Does NOT work on the way back down

If you are used to a light bike then you will not notice it as much. My other bike is an R1, and the cbr feels so much lighter and more agile in slower turns it is great. On faster turns and higher speed stuff it feels comparably less stable. It is great for daily rides under 2 hours and the engine feels buttery smooth around 65 mph (107 kph) and under. I am a larger person though, 6' and 220 lbs.

mine cb300r get around 82 mpg on average

[@DJ_Dhawz]

Please do a walk around too! Wanted to see more of this gorgeous bike.

[@Gamebreaker08]

Never ridden before but I want this bike for my first bike so bad!

[@majordelays4909]

So.. did u get it yet?

[@charlesmorris8491]

now that is how you commute to work!

[@knightrides6034]

18:12 me everytime I take off the helmet Also , great video . The details were interesting too , not just talking about specs

[@iPritamHD]

Happy to see you Adam!! One of your old follower since Moto-USA. A good to know thing,though this bike comes with IMU based ABS,but the IMU is not advanced that CBR1000RR. This IMU here only measures in-case of the wheels have different speed under hard braking. Cheers!

[@sanketjain9320]

But won't that be possible with just the speed sensors? I think the IMU measures the pitch here.

[@swieri2003]

Loving this series, you gotta do the 2019 CBR500r

[@BlueDevilMoto]

10:10 I'm new to the world of motorcycles, but is he shifting without pulling in the clutch after he takes off here?? How?

[@ClintonJohnson714]

This was a great video. Very informative.

[@ssaiyan6001]

Had fun watching your video adam

[@evans2162]

I’m getting on soon and I’m super excited. Thanks for making a detailed video!

[@JoseVazquez-dy9tu]

I got a used 2019 of this bike after riding a 2004 R6 for 10 years... i have to say... I had my doubts... but the bike is a blast to ride... it does not have the beans up top .... but its a great little bike... suspension is excellent... great review Adam!

[@memotogp]

I would love to see a detailed walk around the bike. Love your videos, won't miss a single one

[@bluewiz0090]

Aweasome job Adam, really enjoy the review it was pretty spot on and resumes the same i felt about the cb300 for commuting it fits perfect but falls short for long rides and not the best for highways.

[@mowler8042]

It does look very nice...great review thanks Adam.

[@pistolpete6321]

Fantastic in-depth review!

[@hujiannong]

hi Adam, love the vid. This bike looks fantastic. I wish Honda made it a twin instead of single cylinder, because every other Japanese has their 300 class in two cylinder setup. Also, Can you please do a commute on CB650R if and when you get a chance? Thank you in advance!

[@Specter1031]

It would be nice if they just upped the displacement. I like that it's a single. The only other is the European KTM since, as you said, all the other Japanese are twins.

[@jay_321]

I like the single. A single is more efficient because less friction. Also, easier, cheaper maintenance. The whole theme of the CB300R is ultra-light weight. No other bike in its class can touch the weight.

[@gripi.t]

Honda actually made a 250cc with 2 cylinder called cbr 250rr. But it's only available in Indonesian and Japanese market

[@frank2217]

@@gripi.t Yeah, but it's just a 250. There are 350's and bigger small twins out there .

[@hujiannong]

@@jay_321 Yes, that would be the positive sides of a single. I guess it would be more reasonable to wish that Honda had made a 500R! Of course, with a twin engine! LOL But that would mean that it may have to do away with the 500F.

[@matthewbruh1326]

I just want to say that you're a great host. I actually prefer you over the last. He was awesome, but you're better for MC Commute.

[@anandcherian.585]

Always a joy to watch the 'does she wheelie?' part......

[@supersteve8305]

You're a great rider and I enjoy your technical analysis. I really appreciate you talking about the bikes in such detail. I like this bike. I've been through a few but getting older so looking to get a smaller cc/lighter bike. This is on my short list.

[@daynmitchell7543]

I think you guys should put a few more cameras on the handlebars or whatever for more angles. I'm enjoying the new team keep it up guys!

[@JonathanParsons.]

Great review! It was as informing as it was fun and entertaining to watch! Thank you for this!

[@brentjacobs7083]

I’m glad MC Commute is back. Miss Zack though. I was just used to him. BTW, the vids are good but your mic sounds a little muffled. Not sure why.

[@bradkizer9961]

Nice review Adam. I amazed that you can clearly see out of the mirrors at highway speeds.
