We informed you earlier that Honda two wheelers will launch multiple new bikes on the new Highness CB350 platform. The company has now officially released a teaser image with a title “Powered By Legacy Here To Create Stories”. The teaser confirms that a new Honda motorcycle will be launched on February 16, 2021. It is expected that the new bike will be a Cafe racer based on the new CB350.
The new Honda CB350 Cafe racer will use a new locally developed 350cc engine, which debuted in the CB350 Classic. This engine is capable of producing 21bhp of power and 30Nm of torque. This engine will be paired to a 5-speed gearbox. The new motorcycle is expected to be priced under Rs 2 lakh.
The new motorcycle will be sold through Honda’s premium dealership network, called the Big Wing. Not just cafe racer, Honda is also reportedly working on a new Scrambler based on the CB350. At the CB350 launch, Honda had confirmed that a “bigger thump” is coming soon to India. The motorcycle could receive a more powerful or bigger capacity engine; however, nothing has been confirmed by the automaker. Also See – Honda CB350 Vs RE Classic 350
The new Honda CB350 cafe racer is likely to get clip-on handlebars for sportir looks and forward-biased riding position. It will get classic silver bar-end mirrors, blacked-out shock absorbers, new graphics on the fuel tank, cafe racer-type single-piece seat and a seat cowl. The teaser confirms that the bike will have completely revised rear profile with new tail-lamps and different seat. Also the exhaust is finished in black.
The motorcycle is likely to share most of the components and features such as round headlamps, LED turn indicators and tail-lamps, alloy wheels with tubeless tyres and a semi-digital instrument console. Instead of chrome treatment, the new Honda CB350 Cafe Racer could receive all-black treatment for exhaust, front and rear fender and other cycle parts. Similar to the CB350, the Cafe Racer is likely to come with 310mm and 240mm disc front and rear brakes. Its suspension system includes a telescopic fork at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear.
