Honda has updated its retro motorcycle lineup in India, introducing three distinct versions: the CB350, CB350C, and CB350RS. While these models feature unique styling, they all share the same 348.36cc, single-cylinder engine and platform.
This engine produces 20.7 hp and up to 30 Nm of torque, paired with a five-speed gearbox. All three motorcycles are equipped with dual-channel ABS.
In Nepal, Honda currently offers the H'ness CB350 at Rs 9.25 lakh for the base model and the DLX variant at Rs 9,25,900. These models sit above the XR190LS at Rs 7.99 lakh (Indian market price) and the CBR 250R range, which is priced between Rs 6.80 lakh and Rs 7.93 lakh (Indian market prices).
Each of the new Indian-market variants offers a different riding experience:
- CB350: A traditional retro roadster with a 15-liter fuel tank, weighing 181 kg with 166 mm of ground clearance.
- CB350C: The heaviest option at 187 kg, featuring a 15.2-liter fuel tank and 165 mm of ground clearance.
- CB350RS: A scrambler-inspired design weighing 179 kg, with a 15-liter fuel tank and 168 mm of ground clearance.
Whether these updated motorcycles will return to Nepal remains uncertain. Any potential introduction depends entirely on the plans of the local distributor. A specific launch date or pricing for the Nepali market has not been announced.
