In addition, riders have always been the focus on CB evolution. It was once again the Indian pilots who motivated the development of the H’Ness CB 350. To this end, the latest technologies are generously reflected in their 9 new patent applications. Today, we are proud to mark the beginning of a new culture of motorcycling in the midsize segment with this global introduction of the Honda H’Ness CB 350, “said Atsushi Ogata, CEO, President and CEO of Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Private Limited.

We seize this opportunity to unlock the market potential in this segment and introduce fun riding to customers in India. Built to perform and loaded with features advanced, the H’Ness CB 350 offers timeless style and promises to bring the utmost pride of ownership, “said Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Director of Sales and Marketing for Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India.
