More Exciting News From EICMA 2013
The 2014 Honda CBR300R bears a sharper design that's inspired from the CBR1000R. It now also features twin headlamps and a differently designed exhaust can.
The engine powering the CBR300R is a 286cc version of the older engine. Honda has achieved the additional 37cc by increasing the stroke by 8mm, to 63 mm. The bore remains the same at 76mm.
The new CBR300R, Honda says, gets 30.4 HP @ 8500 rpm and 27 Nm of torque @ 7250 rpm. For comparison, the CBR250R offers 26 HP and 23.86 Nm of torque.
The increased weight and vibration produced from the larger engine is contained by a heavier balancer shaft. Engine mounts have also been strengthened.
Honda says, the digital fuel injection system has been reprogrammed to offer a crisper throttle response, while the larger exhaust delivers a deeper exhaust note.
Honda has also tinkered with the gear ratios to take advantage of the extra power. The resulting changes will improve highway cruising performance and increase top speed by a small amount.
Honda claims the new CBR300R will get you to 389 km on a full tank (12.87 liter). That translates to an economy of 30 km/l.
The telescopic forks on the CBR300R measure 37mm, while Pro-Link rear monoshock does duty at the rear.
The task of stopping the bike is performed by a two-piston caliper pressing against a 296mm front disc and a single-piston caliper gripping a 220mm rear disc.
The seats are of the same height as before, but they are now narrower.
Meanwhile, the instrument cluster design remains unchanged.
ABS will be offered as standard feature in Europe due to it being mandatory. However, elsewhere ABS will remain optional. Pricing details have not yet been revealed.
