Did the thing and traded my old LS400 for a 2016 CBR300 with just under 5k miles. Going to shake it down and do anything that needs done over the winter but so far so good, the muffler is currently on the floor but there! And I think I still have a set of mirrors from back in the day when I built bikes for Honda but so far so good imo considering I bought that car for $700 https://imgur.com/gallery/hMkvmYz

My first bike was a 2016 Honda cbr300r. Looks like very much the same bike as yours but with more fairings. Anyways it was a great learner bike for me and the only thing I didn't like about it was the fairings and the sport bike style mirrors.

Honda's naming scheme is particularly obnoxious, here is a CB300R but also we sell a CBR300R, we jammed one extra R in there to make it obvious and that's just current model schemes, if you go back you have to sort out the CBFs, CBs, and apparently like with your bike they were using Fs instead of Rs to complicate it further! Total alphabet soup even by motorcycle naming standards

Bring back actual motorcycle names. Bandit, Superhawk, Titan, Yamahopper, all good names We sort of have it (hayabusa, ninja, etc), but it could be better

I'm not even old enough to have been exposed to them when they came out so I can say with zero nostalgia tinting my view that those are some of the most kick rear end names for dirt bikes I have ever seen Invalido posted:My first bike was a 2016 Honda cbr300r.

I found my extra set of mirrors but they are for an interstate iirc and too big for my lil' sport bike guy so good news!

See Bee Ar One Kay Double-Ar and then you fart if you're able, if not then you need to pause before vocalizing that last "R" (try to store them up to save time).

I always laugh at the Groms that sit on marketplace for months or years at like $8k because some nitwit was not only dumb enough to dump that much into a grom but also expecting to get their money back when selling it. Oh and they without fail are always lowered and stretched, ruining the one thing the grom has going for it.

I have two theories for how they got to that gas station, either they unloaded it from a trailer, or they reached it gradually in a long series of counter-clockwise spirals.

I'm thinking that Grom has an air suspension on the rear - not bags, but an air-adjustable shock or something. the sort of poo poo you'd see on a slammed bagger

I found this abomination on Reddit and it won’t leave my brain so now you have to see it, too: quote:Deus custom build the the 790 kit installed. I posted up in our local sledding Facebook groups having a laugh at the bike being for sale, and we’re all guess as to what has happened for a dr650 chopper conversion. On of our group members that does custom builds provided some more insight: “The story is actually way worse than it looks. He bought the Deus DR790, pulled all the bodywork off it and started chopping it into this. No drugs, and seemed like a nice guy. I bought the old Deus bodywork off him when he chucked it on marketplace and had to shed a read when I saw where he was at with it.”
