CB300R 2022 vs 250 Duke 2023

In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The CB300R and 250 Duke produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the CB300R has a clear advantage. Weighing in 15kg less than the 250 Duke, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the CB300R. Its seat height is 30mm lower than the 250 Duke, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the cb300r offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
