Key highlights

- New colours are part of the new update
- Powertrain and specs remain unchanged
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has refreshed the CB350 range with new colour options as part of its latest product offensive in India. The CB350, CB350C and CB350RS are among three existing models to receive updates, while Honda has also unveiled seven all-new motorcycles and scooters for the Indian market.
The new colour options are intended to add some freshness to Honda’s modern-classic lineup, while the core motorcycle remains unchanged. The CB350 continues to target riders looking for a retro-inspired motorcycle with modern-day usability.
CB350 range gets a colour update
Honda’s updated modern-classic portfolio includes:
- Honda CB350
- Honda CB350C
- Honda CB350RS
The company has not yet revealed the exact colour options for each model or announced their prices. Honda says detailed launch timelines, pricing and market availability will be announced closer to the respective launches.
Part of Honda’s biggest product push yet
The CB350 update is only a small part of Honda’s much larger product offensive. The company has unveiled a total of 10 motorcycles and scooters, comprising seven all-new models and three refreshed products.
The new lineup includes the ADV 160, CB500, Rebel 300, Rebel 500, XR 300L, XR 300 Rally and QC3 electric scooter.
Honda says the expanded portfolio reflects its strategy of offering products across multiple powertrain types, including ICE, electric and flex-fuel mobility.
Some of the new models will also be offered with Honda’s E-Clutch technology, which automatically controls clutch operation to make riding easier in stop-and-go traffic. Honda has not specified whether the updated CB350 range will receive the technology.
Honda is looking beyond commuters
The expanded lineup comes at a time when Indian two-wheeler buyers are increasingly looking beyond basic commuter motorcycles. Honda says customers are now seeking products that better match their lifestyles, whether that means weekend touring, adventure riding or simply owning something a little more distinctive.
The company is also increasing localisation and bringing more products from its global portfolio to India. The new models will be introduced in a phased manner.
