Honda CB350C Special Edition Unveiled (in India)

October 3, 2025 editor 1 min read

You must have thought this was a Royal Enfield, but no, it turned out to be the Honda CB350C Special Edition. We had initially thought the same too.

Launched in India, the Honda has begun selling in the country’s dealerships, with a starting price of INR201,900 (MYR9,591.12). There are two colourways offered, namely Red Metallic, and Mat Dune Brown.

The CB350C Special Edition is undoubtedly meant to rival the Royal Enfield Classic 350, and other similarly styled motorcycles in the country. And look, it has two horns. (We have been told by Bajaj that the most important component of any motorcycle in India is the horn.)

Apart from the styling, the bike is based on the CB350RS/GB350S platform, powered by a single-cylinder, air-cooled, 348cc engine. It makes 20 hp at 5,500 RPM and 28.5 Nm at 3,000 RPM.

We have tested the CB350RS and found to be a simple, practical, comfortable, and affordable machine. It sounded great too. In other words, we would call it “unpretentious.” Sure, it was not fast for a 350cc machine, but trying to ride like a bat out of hell on it is missing the plot altogether.

The bike is equipped with modern features such as LED lighting, Honda Selectable Torque Control traction control, and dual-channel ABS.
