COMING TO AMERICA:
2019 HONDA CB300R
I
t's official: The Honda CB300R
will be available in the U.S. as a
2019 model.
Honda introduced the bike in
November at Milan's EICMA mo-
torcycle show but no announce-
ment was made whether or not
the CB300R would make it onto
American soil. But Honda now
says that it's on its way.
"We're excited to announce
that the CB300R will be hitting
U.S. showroom floors this year
alongside the recently an-
nounced CB1000R, with which
this new model shares its Neo-
Sports Café styling," said Lee
Edmunds, American Honda's
Manager of Motorcycle Market-
ing Communications. "Honda is
committed to offering customers
a wide range of models that offer
solid performance but are also
rich in character and tap into the
emotional element of riding. Mo-
torcycling is an exercise in enjoy-
ment, and with the CB300R, that
feeling is now accessible to an
even wider range of riders, with
the added benefit of increased
performance."
The CB300R is powered by
a 286cc liquid-cooled, single-
cylinder engine housed in an
entirely new tubular and pressed-
steel frame. It also boasts pre-
mium features like an available
inertial measurement unit-based
ABS, LCD display, and full LED
lighting.
Starting MSRP is $4649 for
the standard and $4949 for the
ABS model. They are scheduled
to appear on showroom floors in
July. CN
The 2019 Honda CB300R
will be here in July.
