Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) recently launched the all-new CB350 as the third motorcycle to be based on its 350 cc platform after the H’ness CB350 and the CB350RS. The CB350 arrives as a more retro, laid-back motorcycle with a range of visual changes in order to directly rival retro roadsters like Royal Enfield Classic 350 and Jawa in the Indian market.
Here is a specifications and price comparison between the aforementioned three motorcycles, take a look –
Engine specs
Powering the Honda CB350 is the same 348.36 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine as the H’ness CB350 and CB350RS. This engine puts out 21 hp of power and 29 Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed transmission. The CB350 is the torquiest motorcycle in this comparison, while the Jawa produces the highest amount of power and gets a 6-speed gearbox unlike the two, despite packing the smallest displacement.
