Exploring the Honda CB350: 5 important details about its India launch

Honda said a few months ago that they were developing a new 350cc motorcycle. While the company has not yet announced the new motorcycle's introduction, it had started to provide teasers of the vehicle. Honda has now officially introduced it to the Indian market. It goes under the name CB350. These are five aspects regarding the new Honda CB350 that people should be aware of.

A few parts of the motorbike have been changed by Honda to give it a more vintage appearance. That means the metal fenders are longer today. The fork covers are metallic, and the seats are divided. The motorcycle's exhaust system is likewise updated and has a more vintage appearance. Precious Red Metallic, Pearl Igneous Black, Matte Crust Metallic, Matte Marshal Green Metallic, and Matte Dune Brown are the five color options available.
