Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has reduced prices for the CB300F and CB300R following the GST 2.0 reforms, effective September 22, 2025. The tax on bikes under 350cc dropped from 28% to 18%, allowing Honda to pass on the full benefits. The CB300F now starts at ₹1.55 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), down from ₹1.70 lakh – a saving of ₹15,000. The CB300R is now ₹2.19 lakh, reduced from ₹2.40 lakh – a cut of ₹21,000. This makes both bikes more affordable for entry-level premium riders.

What Is GST 2.0 and Why Are Honda Prices Lower?

GST 2.0 is a government tax update to make bikes cheaper. For motorcycles under 350cc, the tax is now 18% instead of 28% – a 10% cut. This lowers prices right away. The CB300F and CB300R (both 300cc) benefit from this, with savings of ₹15,000 and ₹21,000. Larger bikes over 350cc face 40% tax (up from 31%), but these two are under the 18% bracket.

Honda is passing on the full savings, effective September 22, 2025 – perfect for Navratri and Diwali sales. This helps the CB300 series compete with rivals like KTM 250 Duke or TVS Apache RTR 310. The CB300F is a streetfighter, while the CB300R is a naked roadster.
