Went into the local Honda dealers today (Pattaya) to check out how comfy the seat is on the latest model PCX......and Happy to report its very comfy.....in fact more comfy than an aftermarket one i've got on my "old model" 150....
But C'est la vie.....
Anyway while i was there i looked round the showroom and saw the new CB300F, which had literally been delivered this morning - had a quick sit and a really nice size and a nice upright riding position (with just a smidgen of "lean over")..........
I asked the sales lady how much ?? - equivilant of 2,300 UK pounds - blimey i though an absolute steal....
"how long is the waiting list" - to which she replied "you can have this one today"
And this is why i love Thailand...
I went round the corner to a branch of my bank, got the money and 30 mins later i was riding my new CB300F down the road....
ABS and twin air bag model:

Looks good. I thought you purchased a 2014/15 PCX a couple of months ago?
Anyway, did you keep you PCX or trade it?

no keeping the PCX, weapon of choice round Pattaya.....
Saw the 300F and though it ticked so many boxes, it would be daft no to buy one.....

Very Nice!! The 2015 CB300F arrives here in the US this fall for MSRP $3,999.
That is a great price considering that my 2013 PCX 150 sold for $3,400
(Still not getting rid of mine though)

Well, I hope not, with everyone talking about twin airbags and all. Anyway, I don't think that gorgeous would be taken in a bad way even if it was his daughter, many other adjectives yes, but not gorgeous.

Ohhhh....you were not rude. Men were designed to appreciate the arts. And a lady who cares for herself is worthy of our admiration.
Any adjective expressing appreciation for a lady is gentlemanly. But one expressing a desire is not.
Anyway, WOW, what a bargain for such a feature-packed bike! I must admit that I never even looked at the CB300F.

There's a good reason you've not "looked at the CB300F" - it only came out in Thailand a couple of days ago (where its made) and will be released in the US in Nov/Dec..............
Couple of piccies after wheel tape fitted......

Just curious... can you post pics of where the airbags are located? I truly have no idea where they are on a motorcycle.
