Honda CB350 specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
Engine and performance
The 348cc air-cooled engine makes 20.7 bhp and 29.5 Nm through a 5 Speed. With a kerb weight of 186 kg that is 111 bhp per tonne, 11th best power-to-weight of the 15 bikes in this class we have reviewed.
Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.

Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Traction control
Cuts power if the rear spins on wet paint or gravel. Rare under ₹2 lakh.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
Slipper clutch
Stops the rear wheel hopping on aggressive downshifts. Also makes the lever lighter.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.
Turn-by-turn navigation
Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
