Some bikes just hit the sweet spot—light weight, plenty of power, precise handling—and a fun factor that’s off the charts. Plus, they just look right, too. That’s what the Honda CB300R is all about. Since it’s not a full-fairing sportbike, you get to see all its delicious engine and chassis hardware. We call the look Neo-Sports Café, but you’re just going to call it the perfect bike for the way you ride. And it even comes with anti-lock brakes for life’s unexpected situations. Add it all up, and you’ll see that the 2021 CB300R ABS is a genius choice.

The CB300R's compact 286cc DOHC four-valve, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine is a jewel with a free-revving, responsive nature. The engine also works extraordinarily well in real-world road-riding conditions, providing plenty of power both around town and out on the highway.

The CB300R’s engine uses an intake and exhaust designed to reduce air resistance, contributing to more linear throttle response.

The concept behind a Neo-Sports Café machine strives for a perfect combination of handling, power, and athletic comfort. Great handling starts with a superior chassis, which is why the CB300R uses special frame construction designed to be both light and strong.

The CB300R’s 41mm inverted fork offers a smooth ride with compliant damping. The supple spring rate is just right for a bike this size.

Taking its styling cues from our CB1000R, the CB300R offers a fresh, contemporary take on the modern streetbike. Plus, the light weight and upright seating make it a blast to ride.

Our Anti-Lock Braking System (standard on the 2021 CB300R) can be a big help in making controlled stops in less-than-ideal conditions, like on wet pavement or other compromised surfaces. It’s a great choice whether you’re using your new bike as a commuter or just riding it for fun, since it helps you stop with added confidence.

Check out the blacked-out hardware; subtle touches like these complement the CB300R’s traditional-meets-modern Neo-Sports Café styling.
