Alternatively, if you're looking for other bikes which share the CBR 300's Sport style with a similar size of engine then how about the 1995 Suzuki RGV 250 V-Twin | 1995cc.1994 Suzuki RGV 250 V-Twin | 1994cc.

The 2013 Honda CBR 300 shares the same bhp with the Honda MSX 125 Grom - [2025]

In terms of power the 291cc 4 valve Transverse 1 cylinder engine produces 30.4 bhp (22 kW) @ 8500 rpm similar to the 2025 Honda MSX 125 Grom [9.6 bhp (7 kW) @ 7250 rpm] or the 2025 Yamaha WR 250 F [36.1 bhp (26 kW) @ 12000 rpm].

The DOHC Two stroke unit throws out torque of 19.8 lb-ft (26.9 Nm) @ 7250 rpm placing it alongside motorbikes of similar performance figures such as the 2025 Yamaha WR 250 F [17.8 lb-ft (24.2 Nm) @ 8100 rpm] and the 2024 Kawasaki Eliminator 500 ABS SE [31.7 lb-ft (42.9 Nm) @ 7500 rpm].

The 2020 Kawasaki W 800 Twin Cylinder has similar Bhp Per Ton stats as the 2013 Honda CBR 300 R.

If you agree with the late great Carroll Shelby, then arguably an even better indicator of potential performance is Torque.

If you're curious as to what other motorbikes have as much torque to weight then look no further than the 1991 Suzuki SG 350 Goose [144.8 lb-ft per ton] and the 1995 Suzuki VS 600 GL Intruder [144.0 lb-ft per ton].
