If you’re hunting a pocket cruiser that looks like a 1950s roadster but rides like a modern bike, the CB350 and Classic 350 are already vying for the top spot.
A first glance at the numbers shows the CB350’s Standard trim starts at ₹1.95 lakh ex‑showroom Bengaluru, while the DLX and Chrome trim climb to ₹1.97 lakh and ₹1.99 lakh respectively. The Classic 350 opens at ₹1.87 lakh with its flagship Redditch Red variant, and its top‑end Gorkha Green and Stealth Black variants reach ₹2.19 lakh and ₹2.24 lakh.
On the road, the CB350 measures 2,171 mm long, 782 mm wide and 1,097 mm tall – 26 mm longer, 3 mm narrower and 7 mm taller than the Classic 350’s 2,145 mm length, 1,390 mm wheelbase, 170 mm ground clearance and 805 mm seat height.
Feature wise, the Classic 350 already ships with LED headlamp, LED turn indicators, a USB charging port and a gear‑position indicator; select models even offer Royal Enfield’s Tripper navigation. Honda’s three‑trim lineup hasn’t yet disclosed its full equipment list, so the feature duel remains a waiting game.
Both bikes hit the market earlier this year, but Honda promised a full spec reveal in October 2026. Until then, buyers will have to compare what’s on paper with what’s on the road.
What to watch next: as the CB350’s final specs surface, pay attention to the engine power rating, battery‑backed charging options and any added tech like Bluetooth connectivity or ride‑mode selectors that could tip the balance for the discerning retro‑style rider.
