Honda CB350RS/ GB350S

[cabanza]

Currently only sold in India as the CB350RS and in Japan as the GB350S. There is a CB350 and a GB350 but they are not as cool in my book.

Bring it, Honda!

please bring it. i am waiting on this one and do not want to buy the also nice looking RE hunter. would rather have honda reliability but will not wait real long. RS is the better looker, but I'd buy either honda.

Honda will introduce (in India) a Cafe Racer version of the CB350

I think I could find myself interested in one of these. We all know the GB750 is just a tease, and the anniversary CB400F won't come to the States either...

Honda is not introducing a new model but rather a range of accessories for the bikes. There's a cafe racer kit that's available for both versions among many other things.

Honda has recently launched an entire range of accessories for the Royal Enfield Hunter 350-rivalling CB350 range. Honda has taken a different route and is offering the accessories as kits instead. And there are six in total- four for the H’ness CB350 and two for the CB350 RS. Let’s have a look...

Why Honda is not selling this bike in other markets (it's sold in India and Japan) is beyond me. C'mon Honda! Give Royal Enfield some competition!

Just because I have issues, here's the owners manual:

Bike just needs oil changes, the occasional oil filter, and some spark plugs every now and then and that's it. Can't be more basic than that. That's probably why we won't see it here. Dealers need to make money from maintenance.

I'll take a blue one with shinko 705. Not sure why we dont get this model.
