2014 Honda CBR300R...release date?
« on: January 05, 2014, 05:14:18 AM »
Anyone know or read the release date on the CBR300R? Seems the smaller CC bike craze is in full swing.

On another note I read where the new FZ9 is a very hot item. Waiting list now with Yamaha releasing they will double the proposed units initially scheduled for production. Will Honda follow suit?

I took a hard look CBR250 last year and I considered trading my SV1000 to get one.  I never owned a single and that looks like fun.  The twisties should be a lot of fun on a light bike like that.

Always liked them myself. From what I have read they had a few issues in the braking department which is resolved with the 300 cc model. Up in the HP side also.

This should make the 250 cc model less desirable thus cheaper. I found a few close but with the 300 release might just wait a while.
