Honda CB350 range updated

Honda’s 348.6cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine puts out 21hp and 29.5Nm

Honda has updated its neo-retro motorcycle portfolio with refreshed versions of the CB350, CB350C and CB350RS. The update is limited to new paint schemes across the range, while the motorcycles remain mechanically unchanged. Out of these three motorcycles, the CB350RS is aimed at a younger audience with its sportier graphics, wider rear tyre and a flatter and slightly more forward-set handlebar. The CB350C gets retro styling with the colour palette reflecting the same, whereas the CB350 gets relatively contemporary styling and a clear-lens tail-light. 

The most notable change is the renaming of the CB350 H’ness. Honda has done away with the H’ness suffix, with the motorcycle now being marketed simply as the CB350, bringing its naming in line with the rest of the line-up.

All three motorcycles continue to be powered by the same 348.6cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that puts out 21hp and 29.5Nm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. They also retain their existing feature set, including all-LED lighting, smartphone connectivity, traction control and dual-channel ABS with disc brakes at both ends.

The refreshed colour palette is aimed at keeping Honda’s retro-styled line-up fresh. Pricing for the updated range is expected to be announced soon.
