Honda CB350 Launched In India At Rs 1.99 lakh: Design, Price, Specs, Variants

The 2023 Honda CB350 is launched in India in two variants with a starting price of Rs 1.99 lakh, and it will lock horns with the likes of the Royal Enfield Bullet 350, Classic 350, and Jawa Jawa.

The charm of standard retro motorcycles has always remained strong in the Indian market. Now in 2023, the market is further enjoying a strong cult for such motorcycles. While it has predominantly belonged to Royal Enfield for a long, Honda decided to participate in it a couple of years ago with the H’ness. Well, the company has now introduced a new more affordable Honda CB350 in India at a starting price of Rs 1.99 lakh, ex-showroom. The CB350 will rival the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and Bullet 350 in the Indian market.

HMSI is offering the CB350 in five attractive colours with a choice of metallic and matte shades. They are Precious Red Metallic, Pearl Igneous Black, Matte Crust Metallic, Matte Marshal Green Metallic and Matte Dune Brown.

Braking duties on the motorcycle are performed by a 310mm disc at the front and a 240mm disc at the rear. There is also the safety net of dual-channel ABS as standard.
