Rightly said. Such minor differences just takes a few days to get accustomed with. Even my brother's BS 4 Unicorn 160 has got that cheap splendor style switchgear, initially my thumb used to hit in between the horn and indicator switch because they are a bit lower. It just took me a few days to get used to.

Also my Ford Fiesta 1.6S has got reversed indicator and wiper stalks, it was irritating for a few days initially (when I bought it in 2010) because I used to turn on the wipers instead of the indicators, but that also took a few weeks to get used to. Now when I drive a normal car, I just have to bear in mind that indicators are on the left and then I can drive easily without committing mistakes.

Hence such differences are a little irritating at best but it's never going to cause fatal accidents that's for sure.

True, even if Honda launches a bike the Gear shifter on right side and Rear brake on left side(like the 90's bullet), one can eventually get used to this anything and everything irritating things awell.

Just one has to remember that on the back of their mind always, in the event of emergency braking, that the rear brake is the left side this time, all will be fine. If not!

Hope we don't get to see that day.

If anything it makes pressing the horn switch a lot more easier since its closer to the thumb's extension range while it may become troublesome to initiate the right signal

Re: CB300R confirmed for India?

I would suggest you take a test ride of a 650F from an owner and see the difference yourself.

Now launched! Follow the discussion on launch thread.

Honda has finally launched the much awaited CB300R here in India at an event in Delhi. They confirmed that they will be launching the Honda CB300R in India and the motorcycle is indeed here. Now, they made one more promise that it will be price under 2.5 Lakhs (Ex-Showroom) and that promise has also been kept as the Honda CB300R has been launched at INR 2.41 Lakhs (Ex-Showroom, India). The deliveries are set to begin by the third week of March 2019.

Unveiled globally at the EICMA 2017, the Honda CB300R is a part of Honda’s Neo Sports Café portfolio. It also follows the neo-retro styling just like the CB 1000R with a round headlamp, chiseled fuel tank and a minimalistic tail. They have also added the LED headlights and USD forks. The CB300R features an all-digital LCD instrument cluster which has readouts for speed, engine rpm, and fuel level and gear position. Honda also launched the CB1000R in India just a while ago at INR 14.46 Lakhs (Ex-Showroom).

Powering the bike is a 286cc DOHC 4-valve liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine churning out 30.9PS of power at 8,500rpm and 27Nm of torque at 7,500rpm. It comes mated to a 6-speed transmission.

As far as underpinnings are concerned, the CB300R features a tubular steel frame, which is suspended on 41mm USD forks at the front and a preload adjustable monoshock, while the swingarm is a steel-plate unit. Braking is handled by a 296mm front disc with a four-piston caliper and a 220mm disc at the back with a single-piston caliper. Dual-channel ABS is also on offer with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) which is a class first. Seat height is relatively low at 779mm and the bike tips the scale at 147kg (kerb weight).

I had a conversation about the CB300R with a friend who think it's a little overpriced. This video is the result of that conversation.
