Honda has quietly pulled its 300cc neo-retro roadster, the CB300R, from its Indian website — sparking widespread speculation that the model may have been discontinued. According to several reports, no new bookings are being accepted, and dealer inventories are reportedly running very low.
What’s Going On?
The CB300R, first launched in India in 2019 via CKD and then reintroduced in 2022 with more localization, seems to have reached the end of the road — at least for now.
- Last known price: ₹ 2.19 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi)
- Engine specs: 286 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor producing ~31 HP and 27.5 Nm of torque.
- According to dealerships, no unsold stock remains.
- There has been no official statement from Honda about discontinuation, leaving the situation ambiguous.
Safety Recall Also in Play
To complicate matters further, Honda issued a safety recall for certain CB300R models (2018–2025) due to a defect in the headlight’s internal wiring, which could cause flickering or failure.
Dealers are reportedly not allowed to sell affected units until the faulty parts are replaced.
Why This Might Be the End — or Just a Pause
Industry observers speculate that Honda may be clearing space for the Rebel 300, which uses the same engine.
But some fans remain hopeful. On forums like Reddit, there are mixed signals:
“CB300R is not available, but customer care said it’s not discontinued.”
“They discontinued it to clear out stock,” says another user.
Final Thoughts
At present, Honda has silently removed the CB300R from its website, and dealers have stopped taking new orders. Product discontinuation seems highly likely — though Honda hasn’t confirmed it yet.
If you’re a CB300R owner, make sure to check with BigWing dealers for recall eligibility and repair options. For prospective buyers: it may be wise to look at alternatives unless Honda announces a re-launch.
