Honda has entered the ever-growing 300cc segment with the CB300R and for Rs 2.41 lakh (ex-showroom), it doesn’t come cheap. In this segment, you have intense competition brewing between brands like Bajaj, TVS and now Honda is the latest to put itself in the ring. Well, we do know that the KTM Duke 390 is the most frantic single-cylinder bike in its segment currently. Honda is long known for not making any attempts to update the CBR250R all this while but seems like it is all going to change soon with the launch of the CB300R.

Verdict:- In terms of both these naked bikes, if you’re looking for power, Duke 390 is your bike, for basic riding needs, the Honda CB300R can easily fit in. The KTM Duke 390 clearly has an advantage over the Honda CB300R in almost every aspect. But here are few reasons why we think the CB300R is a good alternative. After sales service and spares availability is the key for Honda and this motorcycle has the potential to grab some market share.
