In the market for a new bike. I currently ride 2006 Honda CBR125R. Need something with slightly more power nothing crazy though I don't think I am ready for a 600 yet. I have only gone through one season and let me tell you it's got boring real fast.

This is how she looks if you're curious

whats up jeff, welcome aboard man... You have your heart set on the CBR300? I'm in the same boat looking to upgrade to something more modern, couple guys on the boards have recommended checking out CBR250s, they should be available for quite a good deal, or even slightly used...

Yeah CBR250's will depreciate nicely due to our CBR300's. Once CBR300's are out it will be a great time to get 250's

I wonder how CBR250's will depreciate over time as CBR300's eventually start to flood the used market.

we'll see, theres not much difference between the two except for the midrange pull

Thanks Cropper!

It's not set in stone just yet for the CBR300. Just keeping my options open and in no rush since riding season just ended. Been looking at the Ninka 300 closely too.

The CBR250 no doubt will depreciate in price which makes it a steal if your searching in the preowned market but I really want something brand new.

That's true but because of the improvements people will naturally go for the 300 given how much more they have to pay to get it, when making monthly payments it's not that much more to go for the new 300.

There is the 250, 300, and 500. just so you can sleep better at night

even a used 600 if he really wants to get a bit more crazy.
but even the 300 is a nice upgrade from the 125 he current has.

Not going with a 600 just yet. Who knows though I'll keep the options open for now. Until the cbr300 makes an appearance i'll have enough time to decide.

Welcome to the forum. I'll be interested to see what bike you end up upgrading to.

 

[Bozzo]

Thanks. I am just waiting for a local motorcycle show to happen where I can see them upfront and sit on them. And then finalize it with a test ride when they become available at the dealership.

Wasn't it at the 2013 EICMA show?
If not, do you know of any other major shows where we might be able to see it?

 

[Bozzo]

For an of the upcoming shows coming ot your part of town it should be part of the exhibition in the Honda area.

The CBR 300R was at the EICMA show in Milan. Kind of wish I was there.

This was the Honda Section at EICMA.

got to love how the CBR300 looks in that picture along with the rest of Honda's setup at EICMA. Next they need to bring it to a north american show.

@Bozzo : Any update on what bike you ended up going with?
