2023 Honda CB300F launched in India at Rs 1.70 lakh
Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer Honda has unveiled the 2023 CB300F in India with an exciting starting price of Rs 1.70 lakh (ex-showroom). What makes this announcement even more intriguing is the significant price drop compared to the previous model, which was available between Rs 2.26 lakh and Rs 2.29 lakh (ex-showroom). Towards the end of 2022, Honda had extended a generous discount of Rs 50,000 on the motorcycle. It was offered in two variants: Deluxe and Deluxe Pro. Consequently, Honda has effectively reduced the price of its streetfighter by over Rs 55,000 in India. This price adjustment is likely in response to increased competition in this segment, with other bike makers introducing compelling offerings at competitive prices, such as the TVS Apache RTR 310. With this attractive new price point for the 2023 CB300F, Honda is positioned to bolster its sales in the Indian market.
