2025 Honda CB350 Series gets a fresh new look with bold colours

Honda updates the CB350 range with striking new colours

Prices start at ₹2.10 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi)

All models now E20 fuel-ready and OBD2B compliant

Classic Style Meets Modern Vibes

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has given its popular retro-modern lineup—the CB350, H’ness CB350, and CB350RS—a stylish refresh for 2025. While the mechanicals remain untouched, the motorcycles now sport new paint schemes and visual enhancements that add flair without tampering with the much-loved formula.

Under the tank, it’s business as usual. All three bikes are powered by the proven 348.36cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. The H’ness and CB350RS deliver 15.5 kW at 5,500 rpm and 30 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm, while the standard CB350 generates a slightly lower torque figure at 29.5 Nm. A 5-speed gearbox and Honda’s PGM-FI fuel injection system round out the performance package. The big upgrade? All variants are now E20 fuel compatible and meet the latest BSVI OBD2B emission norms.

New Colours, Same Soul

The design updates are purely cosmetic—but effective. Expect fresh chrome detailing, deeper paint finishes, and visual tweaks that help differentiate the three models more clearly.

CB350: Minimalist and classy, available in DLX and DLX Pro variants priced at ₹2.15 lakh and ₹2.18 lakh.

H’ness CB350: The most colour-rich option of the trio. New shades include Rebel Red Metallic, Pearl Deep Ground Grey, and Athletic Blue Metallic. Prices range from ₹2.10 lakh to ₹2.15 lakh.

CB350RS: For those leaning towards a sportier, scrambler aesthetic, the RS comes in Rebel Red Metallic, Mat Axis Grey, and Pearl Igneous Black. The DLX is priced at ₹2.15 lakh, and the DLX Pro at ₹2.18 lakh.

Rivals in the Rear view

Honda’s CB350 lineup continues to balance retro charm with modern engineering. But it’s not without competition. The Royal Enfield Classic 350 still dominates in terms of legacy appeal, while the Jawa 42 and Yezdi Roadster compete closely in the retro-modern niche. Meanwhile, the Triumph Speed 400 tempts buyers with extra performance at a slightly higher price point.

Should You Buy One?

Is the 2025 CB350 range a game-changer? Not really. But it’s proof that a splash of colour and thoughtful design tweaks can breathe new life into a solid platform. If a stylish, old-school Honda is already on your wishlist, now’s a great time to swing by a BigWing showroom. Just don’t expect a complete overhaul—unless you count fresh chrome and sharper shades as fireworks.
