What questions do you want answering in the group test?

Finally we are seeing sensibly priced bikes with usable power which are not stupidly over complicated.

Manufacturers aimed for high tech, high hp bikes, but that's a small market - affordable bikes will put bums on seats and bring in new blood, because motorcycles are fun !

Have had this bike almost 3 years in Japan, drove all over the island and have had zero problems with it. Fantastic little bike!

I love it when someone like Neeves, who has been riding all sorts of bikes for decades, remind us that all we really need to enjoy motorcycling is a basic honest bike.

Owner of a CB350 RS here in India for the last 2 years almost and having done many happy long rides (including some serious hardcore off-road s and river crossings)...I can definitely describe this CB350 family as a family of underrated underdogs. A beautiful machine it is.

I don't even have to ride this bike to know it's the perfect motorcycle. A genuine forever bike.

In the age of ever increasing hp and price it is great to see a basic bike. Classic looks, simple design, quality build. Nice bike.

Test rode one in the UK rain yesterday and fell in love with it. When my VFR750 is tucked up in the garage, this will be my around town runabout although just 21bhp on tap. Filtering was a breeze. All for £50 under £4, 000 as an on the road price. Unreal value for money and it will never go wrong. Up to 95 miles per gallon, I was hard on the throttle and the range indicator kept increasing! I ordered one on the spot for March 2025 delivery in black, adding heated grips and USB socket as extras. Built in Japan and felt very well put together. The exhaust note sounds so much better than comes across on this video. A delightful little bike as long as you don’t want to spend any time on a motorway. The salesman told me they have sold 3 in the last couple of weeks, to people who don’t want to ride fast any more and just enjoy their surroundings. Three year servicing packs available for a £299 one off fee.

If I let my eyes go out of focus and imagine that tank to be orange, I'm back in 1972 aged 17 gawping at my mate's new CB350. Hats off to Mr Honda for going full-on sensible and offering this, a bike that may well save motorcycling from the fatal downward spiral it was taking, with ridiculously complex and obscenely priced products from most of the big players. Although I ride both a Tiger1200 adventure bike alongside a K1300S sports tourer, I could be sorely tempted to buy one of these - just the job for a pootle around the Yorkshire Wolds and visiting all my favourite tea and cake stalls.

It's nice to see a quality and affordable bike for a change from a big manufacturer, back to basics . Lovely looking bike

[aminjan]

This guy is so clear i dont need captions to understand him 👏

[TheSpectre]

I had a look around this at MotorcycleLive and genuinely this is one of my Bike of the Show contenders, if not the top Bike. I love that we're seeing simple, honest bikes coming back, affordable to real working people, without a needless tech-fest. I hope the GB does really well here.

Did a test ride yesterday, 30.01.25, and fully concur on the details in this video. I needed to scratch the 20bhp itch, was it good enough for short ish country runs and in and around town. Yes indeed. A quality bike that is built supremely. For a sub £4000 bike you are being given a lot for your money and wow what fun it is to ride. I love that speed dial, the seat and how it handle the off road time I spent on it ;-)

[Secularworld]

So good to see honda starting to re emerge from the wilderness and as an added bonus its actually made in japan, their quality control is second to none . Great no bullshit review as usual michael thanks 👍🏻

[mto]

Wow, this Honda brings back memories of the single cylinder Yamaha SR500 I owned back in the mid/late 1980's. It was a blast to ride/own as my first motorcycle in the US and it was a great daily bike. I rode it from TX to CA which wasn't the best idea as it wasn't called a 'Thumper' for no reason. But still great gas mileage, reliable and pretty bullet proof. Thanks for sharing this new release from Honda. 😄

[russthebiker]

its got a centre stand as well
a real motorcycle at last

[markcosens]

Wow thats nice. I spent more on mountain bikes these days! Wouldn't be seen dead on anything but a gsxr750 back in the day but now im older these really appeal. Have to get back into motorcycling again one day.

[premkumar-zpgs]

i own this bike in India as rs350 man love this bike easy to maintain engine so smooth, easy to ride. best bike you want to ride the whole day. I have completed 25000kms touring doing off road, this is the bike for every1

My first motorcycle was a 1971 Honda SL 70, powder blue with white pin stripes I was 13 years old, and I still had that bike after a tour of duty in the USN, I got home and fired it up, and romed the neighborhood on it again! When you started that CB 350, single, the sound of it brought floods of memories of that Honda SL 70 and the millions of miles of trouble free riding ! The best times of my childhood was on the seat of that Honda! I wish I still had it to give to my great grandson, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it still started on the first kick ! Thank you Mr.Honda ! you are the G.O.A T !🏍✌😎
