Honda CB350RS

Post by Ditchfinder »

Proper shame this isn't coming to the UK - fine looking bike! I know it's only 21hp but it if they could knock these out under £4k OTR I bet they'd sell a truckload.

Why couldn't the CB500 look like this?

They might sell a truckload, but it would be one truckload, whilst everyone else fapped over big bhp.
It's not worth the hassle, they'll probably sell half a million a year in the sub-continent.

Honda are probably waiting to see how well the 350 Meteor sells before dipping a toe in the European market.

To be fair they are hideous, so it might not be the best probe into the market.

The CB350 or the Meteor?

I expect the Meteor will sell well there because they like that style of bike, Royal Enfield are launching a 650 version that looks very similar.

That's the sort of thing I could buy the missus to potter about on. And ideal for me to use to pop into town on.

I rather like it... but I also like the 500 as it is. There's room for BOTH styles of bike, frankly. But it does need another 10 hp. My 250RS is a (claimed) 26 hp and it's 40 years old!
