As we expected, the Honda CBR300R will be coming to the North American market, as American Honda has confirmed today that the single-cylinder machine as a 2015 model. Though available in August later this year, Americans shouldn’t feel too bad about the 286cc machine coming late to the US, as even European markets have had a delay on receiving the machine, which officially debuted for that market at EICMA last year. Using a stroked-out version of the Honda CBR250R’s DOHC single-cylinder motor, the Honda CBR300R is good for 30hp and 20 lbs•ft of torque. Curb weight is 357 lbs for the base model CBR300R, while the CBR300R ABS tips the scales at 364 pounds (both figures are all filled-up, ready to ride, at the curb).
