These alloys come shod with tubeless tyres, something which would not have been possible with spoke rims. Alloy wheels come as standard as the CB350 runs on a 19-/18-inch front/rear setup. Suspension duties are handled by a chunky telescopic fork and twin shocks. It is a half duplex cradle, a hybrid of sorts between a single-downtube and a dual-cradle frame. Honda India has specially developed a new chassis from the ground-up for the H’ness CB350. It is a nice bit to brag about but on a bike of its capabilities, it seems a bit unnecessary. You also get traction control, the most affordable bike in the country to get the riding aid. There still is a slip-and-assist clutch present, which Honda claims is a segment first feature. You only get a five-speed gearbox and not a six-speeder unit that could have improved its highway cruising credentials. With peak torque rated at 30Nm, the CB350 is the torquiest motorcycle in the class. 21PS at 5500rpm might not sound all that impressive but where it matters, this new Honda thumper delivers well, i.e. The powerplant displaces 348cc, is air-cooled, fuel-injected and has a counterbalancer to minimise harsh vibrations that one usually associates with such a motor. We were teased first with the sound clip of the H’ness CB350 and instantly recognised that Honda was going to offer a single-cylinder thumper engine.
