I'd assume that this site Honda CBR 300 | New 2014 Honda CBR 300 | New 300 cc CBR By Honda | Honda CBR 300 vs Ninja 300 is the source of your info Ortega (it's generally a good idea to post a link to the source of information that you are quoting, particularly when starting a new thread).This is what I read on CBR300 pricing. Not sure if it's backed by official info from Honda but it sounds just about right to me.
I haven't seen anything TBH.so $5+ OTD for CBR300, not bad... has anyone seen US confirmation yet? Anyone been out to the Moto shows and seen 300 lurking about??
Buying all the 300R bodywork alone would cost a tidy sum... the big bucks would be in swapping in the stroked 286cc crankshaft, which would entail a complete engine teardown. And the price of the 300R muffler/Cat Con won't be cheap either. My guess would be about $2200 to $2500 total for parts and labor when it's all said and done, maybe $1500 in parts alone if you did the engine tear down yourself.IF the 250s are really discounted $500 or more it will be hard to pass it up. I wonder how much it cost to just buy the parts to make the 250 a 300.
I guess that's the case. I still think there will be a noticeable difference, but people should still sense CBR250 DNA in the CBR300 by a lot. still got to wait for the reviews,other than the integrated belly pan on 300R and the dual lamps theres really no difference. Guaranteed you put most people on a 250R and 300R back to back and they will barely notice the difference in power.
I mean whats the story on the 300, just a bit more in the mid range no?
so realistically if you can get on a 250R with even $1K knocked off you're laughing.
any idea how much it cost to bore out a 250 to 300cc??Buying all the 300R bodywork alone would cost a tidy sum... the big bucks would be in swapping in the stroked 286cc crankshaft, which would entail a complete engine teardown.

No doubt it would be far less expensive to just buy a 300R in the first place, if that is the bike you really want. That said, the 250R is a great little motorcycle and if they are discounted (as I suspect they will be), people who want an inexpensive bike will buy them up... particularly for those who just want a nice, fun bike to ride.
