It's about time Honda decided to sell the Honda 350 in the UK and Europe. I live in Taiwan and Honda don't officially sell the 350 here either.However there is a motorcycle dealership that imports the 350 Highness from India. So I recently bought one and love it. I personally think the Highness is better looking than the GB 350. Nicer exhaust and round indicators , not the nasty pointed ones on the GB. The saddle on the Highness doesn't stick up un the air like the GB and the pillion saddle is separated from the rider's. The mudguards are better too. Much longer and more efficient. I don't know why Honda didn't decide to release the Highness instead of the GB...But that;'s just my personal taste. The engines are identical which is the most important thing. I predict it will sell well in the UK and Europe. Just under 4000 pounds in the UK. I paid 3000 for mine, brand new.
@@chrisreed3929 The one offered in Asia/Australia with full chrome exhaust an different fenders looks way better. Europe will have the bike probably 50% more expensive and uglier.

@@AndrasMihalyi That is why I suggested only increasing the bore, making the engine more square, which then would comfortably handle higher revs. A motorcycle air cooled carbureted engine can make up to 100bhp per litre reliably, albeit at a higher rpm and often benefiting from fitting an oil cooler. I love the bike as it is and it is clearly perfectly suited to a lot of markets, however I was only reflecting on how the design could be adapted to suit European markets where the ability to vary speed between 70 and 130 kmh is more commonly required.

However I live half my time in Asia in a developing country, and the standard bike is perfect there as it is rarely possible to achieve European speeds.
The GB350 needs a proper rear fender, not just a plastic plate holder, and the front fender should be lengthened and given a matching glossy paintjob. Also, I'm not sure why they got rid of the chrome pipes and went with flat black and a cheap plastic cover.
350: Good luck to Honda with this, but low power, low torque, slow speed, it's only major selling point is "cheap". I think they should have gone 400 "super dream" direction if they wanted cheap n cheerful. That Hornet 1000sp- where's the lower covers gone?
I love the black Hornet, even with the gold forks, of which I am not usually a fan, because of the cool contrasting colors. BUT, that gigantic exhaust is ridiculous. Why do they keep making these things so humungous? Nice vid T. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
It’s an awesome little machine. Something that anyone can ride and will go anywhere. I can’t believe Honda doesn’t sell it in Europe. I think Europe gets the moped version of it instead? Super cub or something like that...
Classic car enthusiasts: I think there are only 300 frames left of this specific model from the 1970s! Motorcycle enthusiasts: I can just buy a brand new 1970's bike right now... might have a new headlight and better brakes.. still 1970's engine tho.
Lots of road tests on the GB350 by Australian UA-camers , has been available for the last year in our market. Just wish Honda used the same design but made a bigger capacity twin. Basically a air cooled MT07 engine
I have the CB 350 RS smilar to GB 350 this bike has buttery smooth experiance this bike is not about speed but the ride quality its beyond any other bike in the catogory
It will depend on the torque, most back roads have speed limits of 40mph and the road conditions are terrible so this bike should be good for what most people need.
We get CB350 here in India. Costs approx 3075$ on road. I am saving money to buy one after i get rid of my stupid unreliable Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350.
At this point, quality is the only thing keeping Honda afloat. People certainly aren't buying Honda bikes for their looks. Even the GB350 is a miss with its tacky rear fender/plate holder, chopped front fender with a miss-matched sheen, and the blacked-out pipes with a cheesy chrome cover.
4k for a 350 is overpriced, though everysingle video in utube want us to believe its a bargain, just like 5k for a 400 is overpriced or 6k plus for a 450/471 (kawa/honda). Talking euros here.
Really? "178kg kerb weight"..."Not what you'd call a porker"... Got to be having a laugh! It's grossly underpowered for it's excessive weight, and it's overpriced too!

Exactly
They did. The GB500. 1984. No one bought them. This is basically a response to Royal Enfield but falls far behind the Triumph Speed 400.
be a man and buy the cb1100x
Just throw in the 500 from the CB500, should be nice then not sure why that's not available yet. Honda seems to be waking up though.
