Honda has launched the CB350 retro classic in India, priced at Rs 1.99 lakh onwards. The motorcycle is available in two variants, DLX and DLX Pro, the latter priced at Rs 2.17 lakh, ex-showroom. The new Honda CB350 can be booked at any BigWing dealership across the country.
Unlike the Honda CB350 everyone’s familiar with, the new motorcycle features a design that looks like a mix of the Royal Enfield Classic, its primary rival, and the Benelli Imperiale 400, however, it is a Honda in every aspect.
The motorcycle gets a redesigned tank, new seat, and a peashooter exhaust, giving it a retro classic look, while the alloy wheels and disc brakes at both ends highlight its modern timeline. The motorcycle gets telescopic forks, dual rear shocks, dual-channel ABS, a digital instrument console with the Honda Smartphone Voice Control system, and LED lighting amongst others.
Powering the new CB350 is a 346cc, single-cylinder air-cooled engine that makes 21bhp and 29Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The engine is BSVI OBD2-B compliant, while also featuring a slip and assist clutch and Honda Selectable Torque Control.
The new Honda CB350 will be available in five colours: Precious Red Metallic, Pearl Igneous Black, Matte Crust Metallic, Matte Marshal Green Metallic and Matte Dune Brown. The Honda CB350’s primary rival is the Royal Enfield Classic 350, which is priced at Rs 1.93 lakh onwards.
