Hope the CBR300 has the digital dash dials as featured in big brother CBR500R , the old CBR250R dials are outdated . This will kill off the CBR250 sales just like the Ninja 300 killed off the 250 Ninja
CBR300R Instrument Cluster (Multiple Threads)

I agree. I love having an analog RPM gauge, and the rest on a digi. No other better way to have itI cant stand digi dashes. I like the combo of analog gauges and digi HUD. but in the interest of cost savings i suspect you're right that CBR300R is going to pilfer the cluster from big brother... Isn't that how it always works

I have a tri colour CBR500RA and I love the digital dash , especially at night , the only thing missing is the gear presently selected icon , which it doesn't have and I am sure the 300 will not have it either .

This photo shows the 300R as having the same instrument cluster as the CBR250R:

I think you're going to find that the CBR300R has much more in common with the CBR250R than there are differences. The rolling chassis of the two bikes are the same. Tires, wheels, suspension, frame, handle bars, foot pegs, etc. are all the same as the CBR250R. The differences are in the body panels, and the stroked engine (which is basically the crankshaft having an increased connecting rod throw, and a shorter connecting rod), and the redesigned exhaust. We don't yet know if the throttle body was increased in size, or if Honda was able to just change the EFI fuel mapping to meet the requirements of the increased displacement.
It's pretty obvious to those of us who own the CBR250R, that Honda did not start with a clean sheet of paper for the CBR300R. What this bike is, is an evolution of the CBR250R.

So is the instrument panel not going to be digital on the CBR300 then? If it is like the CBR250R then it seems like no. Digital dash definitely raises the price a bit. maybe they are trying to keep costs down.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen... there is a not so small price difference between a CBR250R/300R, and a Ducati 1199 Panigale.
It's just a dream, probably like 5-7 years down the road we'll see a version of it on the lower end CBR's

I prefer analog. I guess I'm just old school though. Even when I use instruments, I much prefer analog to digital.
I actually thought the speedometer would bother me more, but I suppose I don't look at it enough.

Yup, but we can atleast get a version of it that's not as involved and simple, which is possible if they start doing it on a mass scale, in the end it won't cost that much more per bike.
