Honda’s CBF300 nameplate appears in Honda’s own service publications and homologation documentation for the small-displacement naked roadster introduced for the 2018 model year. In Honda’s cataloging, the model is shown first as CBF300 for 2018–2019MY, and later as CBF300NA in 2022MY and subsequent documentation, indicating the same basic family continued under market-specific suffixes rather than being a short-lived one-off. The bike sits within Honda’s modern 300-class street lineup and is part of the company’s effort to offer an approachable, lightweight standard motorcycle with contemporary styling and everyday usability. For enthusiasts and parts researchers, the nameplate is notable because Honda uses it in official manuals and parts references even when the retail badge may vary by market, which can make the motorcycle easier to track through VIN and service documentation than through showroom branding alone. The CBF300 became part of Honda’s global small-bike strategy in the late 2010s, serving riders looking for a simple, compact roadster rather than a fully faired sport model. No confirmed end date is evident from the available official materials, so the nameplate should be treated as ongoing unless Honda later publishes a definitive discontinuation.
