At the base of Honda CB350, it has a single-cylinder ahir engine of 348.36 cc which might sound simple but is nothing but dhansu.
It is a marriage between the simplicity of older days and modern forms of engineering that produces just enough kick that will have any rider grinning.
Key engine highlights
- Power: This engine produces a healthy 20.8 bhp at 5,500 rpm — enough to get the job done on city roads and long highway hauls.
- Torque: A robust 30 Nm (at 3000 rpm) will keep the CB350 singing along, making it a dork to ride through town traffic.
