"2016 honda cbr 300 recall" I bought a 2016 honda cbr 300 ABS motorcycle brand new with 2 miles on the motorcycle on august 8, 2017. On august 12, 2017 I decided to ride my motorcycle to antioch and upon returning home from antioch, the motorcycle cut off, while I was in a turn. The bike died and caused me to skid on my left side, slamming into the gravel, and sliding 15 yards on my shoulder as well as head. I was wearing protective head wear, so I had no head trauma, however in attempt to brace my fall I put down my left hand. Left hand was road rash. I contacted contra costa powersports and they came to antioch to pick up the bike, so I do not have photos of my bike. Contra costa powersports told me they were going to examine what happened, as well as replace everything that was damaged. With concern, I typed in recalls on 2016 honda cbr 300 in google search, and discovered a recall for my bike dating back to july 8, 2016....
