Honda Motorcycles And Scooter India (HMSI) is a prominent player in the Indian two-wheeler market, known for offering some of the finest scooters in the country. The automotive giant previously introduced the Honda H’ness CB350 to cater to the growing demand for cruiser motorcycles in India. Now, Honda has released a teaser for a new bike set to launch in India soon. The teaser prominently features the hashtag “CB,” suggesting that this upcoming bike is likely to be a sibling of the H’ness CB350.

The teaser unveiled by Honda showcases a new bike with design elements reminiscent of the H’ness, including a split seat configuration and Honda’s signature grab rail. Additionally, the teaser provides a glimpse of the new bike’s front disc brake equipped with a Nissin Caliper and a concealed shock absorber, similar to the Royal Enfield Classic 350. While it’s yet to be confirmed whether the new Honda bike will directly compete with the RE Classic 350, Honda had previously announced their intention to launch a bike based on the same platform as the H’ness CB350 and CB350RS.
According to media reports, the new bike is expected to share the same engine as the H’ness, featuring a 350cc single-cylinder engine generating 21 bhp of power and a peak torque output of 30 Nm.
