Honda CB350 — Overview

The Honda CB350 is a cruiser bike available at a price range of Rs. 1,97,045 - Rs. 2,00,474 in India. It comes in 2 variants and 9 colours. It is powered by a 348.36 cc BS6 Phase 2B engine and has a user reported mileage of 35 kmpl. With both front and rear disc brakes, the Honda CB350 comes with anti-locking braking system. The CB350 bike weighs 186 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 15.2 liters. It develops a power output of 20.7 bhp and a torque of 29.5 Nm.

Zero vibration at 100 kmph - that's what Honda CB350 owners talk about more than anything else. While the Royal Enfield Classic 350 owns the retro-cruiser segment by sheer cult power, Honda's answer starts at Rs 1.97 lakh and brings Japanese engine refinement, HSTC traction control, and a Honda RoadSync-connected instrument cluster that the Classic 350 can't match at any price. The 348cc air-cooled engine makes 20.7 bhp and 29.5 Nm through a slick 5-speed box with a slipper clutch - numbers similar to its rivals, but the delivery feels smoother than anything else in the segment. ARAI mileage is rated at 42.17 kmpl, and real-world owners consistently report 35-40 kmpl in mixed riding. The catch: it's sold exclusively through Honda BigWing premium outlets, not your neighbourhood Honda showroom. If you can find one near you, the CB350 is a genuinely compelling alternative to the RE orthodoxy.

Honda CB350 Latest Updates

View all

  • Honda H'Ness CB350 Special Edition with a new metallic maroon and gold pinstripe colorway was leaked ahead of an expected launch around the BigWing Ride event in Bengaluru (April 19, 2026). The Special Edition is expected to be priced Rs 2,000-4,000 above the standard DLX Pro, with no mechanical changes.

  • Honda is expected to launch the CB350 Brigade variant - a military-themed edition based on the CB350 platform - with an October 2026 timeline. The name was trademarked by HMSI in 2022 and is expected to feature khaki-toned paint, similar in concept to Royal Enfield's Signals editions, priced around Rs 2.00-2.10 lakh.

  • Honda updated the entire CB350 lineup in April 2025 for OBD2B (BS6 Phase 2B) and E20 fuel compatibility compliance. The CB350 DLX received revised pricing at Rs 2,15,500 (ex-showroom Delhi) and five new colour options including Mat Marshal Green Metallic and Precious Red Metallic.

What We Like

  • Engine refinement is class-leading - near-zero vibration even at sustained highway speeds
  • HSTC traction control and dual-channel ABS come standard on both variants
  • Light assist-and-slipper clutch makes city traffic far less tiring
  • Honda RoadSync Bluetooth connectivity for navigation and call alerts

What Could Be Better

  • BigWing-only sales and service network - major inconvenience outside metros
  • Air-cooled engine throws noticeable heat onto the rider in stop-go traffic
  • Higher service costs than Royal Enfield; spare parts harder to source in smaller towns

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Honda CB350?

The Honda CB350 is the better-engineered bike in the 350cc retro segment - smoother, safer, and more connected than any Royal Enfield at this price. The BigWing-only dealership network remains the single biggest reason to pause before buying. If a Honda BigWing is within easy reach of your home, the CB350 earns a strong recommendation.
