Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has introduced a fresh, darker styling option for the CB350 to strengthen its presence in the mid-size modern-classic segment against Royal Enfield. Based on the motorcycle’s standard trim, this new edition focuses purely on aesthetic enhancements, bringing a more understated, shadowy presence to the retro roadster. Priced around ₹2.32 lakh (on-road), the new variant goes significantly further than the earlier Pearl Igneous Black shade, replacing several polished metal bits with dark-finished components. Key Visual Changes While it stops short of a completely murdered-out treatment, the updated trim swaps out multiple bright-finished elements for matte and gloss black accents: Dark-Finished Accents: The headlight casing, front telescopic fork lowers, fender stays, rearview mirrors, dual horns, and the crankcase badge cover are now coated in black. Retained Chrome & Silver Highlights: To maintain contrast, components such as the pea-shooter exhaust pipe, handlebar, handlebar clamps, and rear dual shock absorbers retain their polished finish, alongside subtle accents on the engine block. Mechanical Specifications Unchanged Under the skin, the motorcycle remains identical to the standard model. It retains its full-sized vintage fenders and traditional roadster stance, powered by the familiar 348.36cc single-cylinder, air-cooled motor.
