2022 Honda CB300R BS6 launched at Rs. 2.77 lakh

Cayman360 · 7th April 2022, 08:38

Got my one month old CB serviced yesterday, and was charged 2400, including 400 for a hassle-free pickup and drop the same day. Honda service personnel continue to impress with great courtesy, although the pickup was delayed by a couple of days, but they did stay in touch.

Gremlins so far:
- the rubber buttons on the dash are near impossible to use on the move as they need a really hard press to activate. Simpler, clickable buttons should have been used.
- Coming from a car, bumpy roads in Bangalore feel very uncomfortable on the CB, although over broken patches, the suspension is perfectly compliant
- horn button placement is neah impossible for me to reach, so barely use it
- handlebar is tough to lock, key often gets stuck. The service may have solved this.
- dash is hard/bland to read during the day, but looks nice in the dark
- this bike should have had some sort of navigation system. Have already got lost in the city once

Other notes:
- For the run-in period, FE is a high 39Kpl
- After 200kms, the engine feels really nice at all speeds, though haven't exceeded 90kph so far. Its just a peach in the city. I'm yet to properly explore its handling, since I've come back to biking after 7 years, with my last bike being the excellent R15 gen 1.
- Styling is spot on and delicious. I have the red one.
- I have a bad upper back but no back pain so far, hence I know this is the perfect bike for me
- the total lack of mass is a blessing
- third gear is very tractable, even manage to cross speed-breakers at times
- the Honda leather key chain given as part of a nice gift box is just fab

The second pic is of the bike staring back at my car :)

I am looking for some advice. I booked CB300R on Friday at VFM Honda, Indiranagar. Now what is the process if we pay the amount without taking a loan?

They want me to pay the full amount and wait 4 to 5 days and get the bike. They are citing the RTO formalities for the delay. Is this the normal process?

Once you have transferred the booking amount, request to see the bike in person allotted to you. Note the chasis number and provide funds. March the chasis while delivery and once you receive RC.

RTO timelines generally varies from region to region. Nowadays, you get an OTP from RTO once number is allotted for your vehicle which need to be provided to dealer. So, you will know when the vehicle is actually registered in your name.

Congratulations for the bike

Do we have VIN decoding information for Honda motorcycles?
Thanks in advance.
