Meanwhile, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) will launch the CB350 Cafe Racer in India. Although there is no official word, the upcoming motorcycle will probably share the Honda CB350 H'Ness' chassis. The Neo-Retro motorbike will be the third 350cc model in the Honda range, following the CB350 and CB350 RS. The motorcycle will reportedly look similar to the Honda Hness CB350 and the CB350RS. It will sport a vintage cafe-racer look thanks to its bikini fairing and rear cowl. As already said, the manufacturer has not provided any detailed information regarding the bike. But, there are a lot of talks that this new bike, which is set to launch soon in India, will cost a little bit more than the base model.
Dual-channel ABS could be a part of the Neo-Retro motorcycle's safety net, just like it is of the Honda CB350 and CB350RS. Telescopic front forks, twin rear springs, and disc brakes on both wheels make up the hardware of the upcoming bike, similar to the standard versions. The upcoming two-wheeler will have a semi-digital instrument cluster and full LED illumination as features.

The starting price for the Hness CB350 is Rs 2 lakh, while the CB350RS has a starting price of Rs 2.05 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom. The new Honda motorcycle could be costlier than these two bikes. It may face competition in India from vehicles like the Jawa 42 and the Royal Enfield Hunter 350.
