This has come to a surprise to see the availability of the naked version of the CBR300R as it is similar to the CBR250R in Malaysia. It looks so good and the stance looks aggressive. In Malaysia, we just recently got the CBR250R dual headlight but in the USA, they got the naked CB300F.

It is lighter than CBR300R at 348 pounds since there is less fairing. Naked bike also have its advantages over its full-fairing version especially in the urban style of riding. The seating is more upright, but lower in seat height so you can flick your bike easier and look way above the traffic in front of you for easy manouvre to go back from work.

Fuel injected system ensures that this bike can gives you great fuel economy at 71MPG and that’s is good enough.

Will this bike makes it to Malaysia? I don’t know but I really love to see it here. If it gets here, please make the price comparable to the Kawasaki Z250SL.
