Looks like Honda is releasing a CB350 in India

Great find and lovely looking 350cc...wonder if we get anything like that or slightly bigger from HONDA on the NA market??:-/

PS. I know one day 1100cc will be too heavy for me

I keep looking at the Suzuki TU250X but I would buy the CB350 in a heartbeat over the TU.

This CB350 looks almost like a smaller copy of its bigger sister/brother CB1100, for sure

The TU250X for me = nah

That is one elegant looking motorcycle.

A few stills from the video (love listening to the guy speak Hindi!)

Odometer has kick-stand down and battery health indicator...and is that an "ECOnomy-mode" indicator too? That seems unnecessary on a motorcycle I would think, but ok.

If the video sound is accurate, that's very nice.

Bring it to a hemisphere near me.

oh give me a break. THAT IS NOT FAIR. I would so rather have that in the US than the CB300R.

I second that motion!!

Yep, looks like a largish 350 for American-sized riders. I'd own that in a heartbeat.

This bike looks air cooled. Does India have more lax emissions standards? Anyway, super nice little runabout.

YES PLEASE! Y'all know how I feel about the CB400 Super Four but this will work.

Must be, since the new Royal Enfield Himalayan single and the older singles are air-cooled.

Weird name though - "H'ness". Do you think it's short for "Highness" or more likely, "Honda Greatness" or "Honda Awesomeness"?

It is predominantly a market of smaller simpler vehicles though - so I guess companies find a way.

Would be nice if it made it to the US. Not holding my breath.

It would be even nicer if it were a 2 cylinder with more cc or the best 650-750cc/4-banger
:banana:

I really like it. Looks like Honda found some insect repellent. That’s a nicely styled motorbike.

I told my wife and others that my CB1100 will be the last motorcycle. However, after I need to part with my beloved CB1100, and if Honda imports that CB 350 (preferably larger), I could change my mind.

Mike, you are not alone with your mind changing statement...

I’m another fan. Pretty bike.

Like the Cb1100, simply beautiful.
