With sales of the 350 Royal Enfield Hunter having just passed the 100,000 mark in only 6 months, whoever works in marketing at Honda and decided not to expand sales of this superb looking 350 motorcycle beyond its original market is probably looking for another job right now. 
The cb300r with its lower level of comfort, worse economy and a much higher rpm operating range appeals to a totally different market to the those wanting something like the cb350rs.

Unfortunately it seems that the major manufacturers are in denial about their customer base. We're an ageing demographic and the CB350RS appeals to that demographic whereas the CB300 doesn't.

 

They're making bikes to appeal to people who don't buy bikes while ignoring the ones who do.

One of our riding buddies is 80 and he has a CB300. His only complaint is that the fuel filler orifice is smaller than a standard nozzle so filling up is awkward. 


Has he thought about carrying a funnel to fuel up?

For the guy with the small opening filler hole on his fuel tank, a converter is available, it's a plastic shroud you stick on the end of the fuel hose at the garage and it reduces the diameter so it will fit in your fuel tank, its made from a soft latex rubber that creates a seal around the fuel pump nozzle and fits in the smaller opening in your petrol tank. They cost £6.54

P.S. They come in different sizes for different-sized fuel tank openings so make sure you order the one you need,
