[@RiderXp]

Thank you. I’m in the same boat. I absolutely love the Honda for the package they’ve put together especially for the price point, but KTM has put together the unthinkable package for a pretty decent price point. Only complaint i heard from my buddies who owned the duke390 back in India were reliability related but i do think that those were more maintenance related than design issues.

A well done video comparing all these motorcycles. I'm partial to the Kawasaki Z400 and Honda CB300R and am leaning toward the CB300R. Why? I'm 60 and I have a harder time swinging my leg over the Z400 with that raised passenger seat. I find it a little easier to get on and off the CB300R since the raise on the passenger seat isn't as great. I really dig both of them though.

[@RiderXp]

Thank you! I can totally see how the CB would be more attractive than others.

Excellent vlog. I recently bought a Honda CB300R (2022) in Thailand for the secretary's son moving up from a Honda Wave 125. I actually like the Honda CB300R because of the lack of electronic driving aids, simplicity and strong engine and the Neo Cafe Racer looks of the CB650R. I tend to look at everything available on the market but always end up buying Honda for reliability and quality. Honda have 72% of the Thai motorbike market and manufacture nearly all Honda models in Thailand up to and including the 750cc's so spares are readily available.

The top four reliable bikes in the world are all Japanese and the easiest to get parts for , and probably the cheapest parts depending on model .

True. For some reason it's been hard for all the other manufacturers to keep up with Japanese engineering terms of reliability and predictable performance.

I am going to do weekly practice sessions to gain crash avoidance skills (swerve, quick stopping, slow turns and leaning skills in smaller areas) This seems to be sending me to the Honda CB300R , maybe.

[@RiderXp]

I’m glad you found it helpful, thanks for the kind words. The CB300 is indeed a very good recommendation for what you’re trying to accomplish. Honda as a company always prides itself in making the best handling motorcycles which trickles down from their MotoGP machines to flagship sportbikes and all the way down to beginner and even commuter bikes. I’ve owned the previous gen of the cb300 in a sport bike avatar and can confirm based on personal experience as well.

Corrections: 1. Huskies have tubeless tires. 2. No they won't come to India. I waited 1 year for 401 launch before Bajaj announced they won't launch it here hence went with 250.

[@RiderXp]

Thanks for sharing. 1. At the time of making the video, the 401s had spoked wheels in some countries (like US) and tubeless cast alloy wheels in some (like Philippines). I do try to keep track of top 4-5 countries, but every now and then some unique data point about a specific country gets missed. I'm trying my best to avoid that though. 2. At the time of making this video (months ago), I was hopeful. Of course now we know that Husqy went the other way. I will always carry the risk of being wrong with such expectations.

What's VERY interesting to me.... Something we hear a lot from experts are criticisms. Of course, we want that. But what often occurs...not always ..but often...the criticism while being true....doesn't or shouldn't devalue the product at all. What the hell am I talking about? For example....the brake system of the bikes here he pointed out two different kinds...I don't remember specifics but that the Yamaha has the lower quality kind in this video. What often happens is the reviewer will point out the use of a lesser type part used. And what we don't know is that the geeks over at Yamaha, to use the brakes example, are saying yeah, no shit....but those while not as good are more than sufficient for the MT-03 and was intentionally designed so we could keep the cost down or put it to other areas. In this case ..it is about cost. Point is ...they point out stuff like that cos they're doing reviews and it's something they know but that weight and engine size bike will never need anything more than what they used.

[@RiderXp]

Thanks for sharing your observation. I'm aligned with that. I think manufacturers put in their best to balance cost and quality for the application and customer segment of any product. That's why overt criticism is often misguided. Please share the video with others who may find it helpful.

[@RiderXp]

True. I think it's a personal choice. At the very least, aftermarket exhaust reduce the weight and if you can get a tuner, they can help the bike run a lot better than it did with stock exhaust. I would, however, recommend getting a good brand exhaust because they spend the time, money and research in ensuring that the exhaust system works well with the engine. And I like the mirror idea, it's important to focus on function over form when it comes to things like that.

My bike in my late teen’s was a Honda 500-4cylinder. Then in my 20’s, a Honda 750-4cylinder. I’d rather try a smaller naked, and then if I want to upsize, then go to a Yamaha MT-07. For now though, should I get a KTM Duke 390, Yamaha MT-03, Honda cb300r, or a Kawasaki Z400?

I would lean in favor of the Honda CB300R because of the fit and finish, good looks, good suspension and Honda reliability that I over a decade of personal experience with. Z400 would be the second one I would recommend but i would swap the tires for a set of Michelines. Hope that helps, welcome back to the tribe of motorcycle riders!

Another option is a short-term fix, which is buy a KTM Duke 390 since my local dealer just received 6 of them. When the cb300r becomes available, I could either buy one too, and sell the KTM…or keep both. The cb300r is not available in my are until December or early next year, supply chain issues and high demand since a lot of people are going to smaller bikes.

[@RiderXp]

Thanks for sharing. This would help more riders considering that bike.

[@MuktiLuv]

ya, i want the 250 too but im inthailand and they only have the 200 and 401... forced to 401 i guess... but ill get the Vit and modify it into a Svart, looks cooler white... definitely gonna mod it to lower the seat, tubeless and remove the ugly dashboard as well... im 6'1 but i like low stuff... either way thats definitely gonna be a step up from my yamaha mio125i with a 300cc forced inside... lol

The Husky sounded the best to me.

excellent video! you did a great job focusing on the important bits.

[@RiderXp]

Much appreciated!

[@georgeoikonomou6939]

Most beautiful is the cb300r. At the same level is also the ktm but the head light destroys the whole look because it reminds a grasshopper head...

[@RiderXp]

I love the CB as well. I'm also a little biased in favor of Hondas lol

[@bismillah5497]

George mantis bolo, "grasshopper" is too middleclas

[@sharadawasthi7107]

Cb300r very low brightness of headlamp

[@zepm7184]

I wonder about the weights of the bikes as some manufacturers list "dry weight" and some list "Wet weight". For example, the KTM is 163kg dry and the MT-03 is 169kg wet.. So add 10-15kg of fuel, oil, ect... to the KTM and it is heavier.

[@RiderXp]

KTM & a few other manufacturer tend to mention dry weight instead of kerb weight in their catalogues and on their websites. I do try my best to find and list kerb/wet weight so the expectation & comparison is more realistic.

[@Johnelilopez]

Nice breakdown, one of the best I’ve seen

[@RiderXp]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

[@doodlebob-t1t]

picked up a duke 390 for $4000aud with a slip on akrapovic and im extremely excited to know that ive picked about the best option for the weight class. thank you for this detailed comparison

[@RiderXp]

That's awesome! I love the Duke 390's peppy character... It is a wheelie machine so be a little careful ;). Thanks for your comment and support. More content coming up..

[@scout8112]

Nice quick overview and good direct comparison. Well done. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@RiderXp]

Thanks! 👍

[@grumpy_cat1337]

I'd go for a Honda, because it's Honda, or for Kawasaki, because it's 400cc-twin it's most powerful of them and will give you more smoothnes than a cingle cylinder. 22kmpl efficiency seems way too low for Z400, I get at least 25kmpl on my Ninja 650.

[@SouthBaySteelers]

Didn’t know about the Husky’s tires. Thanks for that info!

[@MrFifth-up9jz]

Great review comparison, really like the 401

[@RiderXp]

Thanks for your support! More content coming soon....

[@Kadabra86]

Mt03 do more than 100k km . Yamaha reliable its great. She's not the best in nothing but she's really nice to ride, cheap to maintain. I love my old '17 03. And I love the new one to

[@EvelynnTheBorderCollie]

Whats the gas mileage like

[@needparalegal]

Tried to buy a Svartpilen in USA. They wanted $1100 over MSRP. Bought a used Shadow instead.

[@RiderXp]

Yeah dealerships are going crazy right now around here.. weather’s getting better and everybody wants to buy a motorcycle, and dealerships are trying to make hay while the sun shines..

[@needparalegal]

@@RiderXp I was shocked that a dealer would list a used Honda at blue book price. You cant even find private party bikes for blue book anymore.

[@RiderXp]

That's crazy. I'm about to get myself a streetbike pretty soon. Not super stoked about the dealership shenanigans, but I do need a bike so we'll see how that goes.

[@needparalegal]

@@RiderXp Maybe its Oklahoma. Bikes are over priced here. I know I could get one cheaper in Dallas. I was going to buy one down there.

[@needparalegal]

@@RiderXp I gave the Harley dealership my contact info 2 years ago. All they do is spam their garbage clothing ads at me. No one has responded to my wanting to buy a Softail.

[@dreysomersol9720]

Svart is the best one here

[@yanierolivera4678]

All those sound like they are farting with the aftermarket exhaust. Sorry but the wold is obsessed with aftermarket garbage

[@bharath3264]

One of the great informative video, not just for comparing the specs but also for truly understanding them. +1 Subscriber :) Please keep up the good work.

[@bharath3264]

btw if someone could suggest me on this, I own FZs V3 2019 edition and I've been loving it for its comfort, mileage and performance. At first I bought the bike for its mileage and the new sportier design. Recently I felt bored and having thoughts about seeing a huge crowd base using the new Fz model. Here I am having thoughts to sell and having thoughts to buy the Honda CB 300R. Please provide your thoughts on how you would consider for someone with 5' 11 height coming from Fz with great comfort and its bulky size to go for Honda CB 300 R Thanks in Advance if someone cares to respond :)

[@RiderXp]

Thanks for the support. I would recommend test riding the CB300R and making up your mind about selling the FZs V3. Although, I can confirm that the CB300R would be a power jump (twice as much as the FZs) and you'll love it. It'll be as comfortable as the FZs.

[@bharath3264]

@@RiderXp thanks bud, I'll do a test drive sure :)

[@bharath3264]

Am being too much confused between Honda CB 300R and Duke 390 🌚🥲

[@RiderXp]

Very different bikes, CB is more linear, predictable power delivery. Duke 390 engine and geometry makes it more peppy. Sorry for responding now, something's up with my comment notifications.

[@kryptorick5120]

The akrapovic on such small CCs make them sound like mopeds no? most of them sound better stock, when they don't pretend to be something they're not. The 390 with yoshimura slip on sounds great though.

[@sonicmoj1]

I agree. Stock exhuast way better than akrapovic. I wonder how the Leo Vince sound..
