Honda’s much-anticipated CB300F is set to shake up the Australian market when it goes on sale in August.
Lightweight, nimble and affordable, the new naked Honda brings together a combination of traits sure to appeal to both beginner and experienced riders alike.
Hatched from the frame of the CBR300R, the innovative new CB300F has shed its fairings for a sleek and versatile new look.
Weighing in at just 161kg, the new model shares the 286cc fuel-injected engine of its CBR300R sibling, providing responsive power throughout the rev range.
Designed with a seat and side covers that allow riders the easiest reach to the ground should shorter folk manage the 780mm seat height.
The CB300F will be available in Australia with ABS as standard fitment and in Pearl White or Millennium Red colour schemes.
