People absolutely love café racers. While the bike competes in a niche segment, people are slowly embracing it.  The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is café race with an expensive price tag.  But everyone can not afford a Continental GT 650 due to which a lot of people convert their motorcycles into a cafe racer by removing the rear seat and opting for lower clip-on handlebars.

New Scrambler

The second product to come from the CB350 line-up will be the scrambler version of the H’ness. Being an off-roader it should get off-road tires for better grip on dirt and spoke wheels because alloys might break while off-roading. It should also get a more up-swept exhaust so that it does not scrape on large rocks. It will also get a bash plate to protect the engine’s bottom.

Engine and Performance

The 348cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine produces maximum power of 21PS and 30Nm of torque. Due to its higher torque than rivals, we expect the pickup of the bike better than its rivals. The DLX Pro variant comes with dual horns while the DLX only gets single horn setup. There is a 5-speed gearbox with the bike with Honda badging on the engine of the bike.

The rear alloy wheels are 18-inch.  You also get 240mm disc brakes at the rear.  Honda CB350 also comes with hydraulic rear suspension which promises supreme comfort.  The taillight and indicators at the rear also come with a retro look.
