India Today
The 2022 Honda CB300R was unveiled at the ongoing India Bike Week, with a BS6 engine, new features and the added benefit of local assembly.
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) introduced the BS6-compliant 2022 Honda CB300R sports cafe racer at the India Bike Week held at Aamby Valley, with an updated powertrain, new features, and minor cosmetic changes to keep things fresh in the two-wheeler market. Slated for a January 2022 launch, the Honda CB300R was originally sold in India till April 2020 till the newer emission norms kicked in. The 2022 Honda CB300R will be manufactured in India, unlike the BS4 model, which was imported as a Completely Knocked Down unit and sold for Rs 2.4 lakh.
The 2022 Honda CB300R remains mostly unchanged but gets new gold-colored inverted forks upfront as well as the radiator cowl that now has a darker brushed alloy compared to the earlier brushed aluminum finish. The round-headlamps are LEDs, the fuel tank is elongated, and features a chiseled design to accommodate knee-room, while the lighter colored radiator cowl lends the retro bike some flair. The taillamps feature a neat set of LEDs, split seats, and a chunky high-angled exhaust that affords a very premium look. The exhaust has a new design and takes inspiration from its elder Honda siblings, finished in a new brushed copper color.
