Honda Gave Its Little Cruiser Motorcycle Military-Inspired Colorways We Can't Have

If you know your Honda history, the CB series probably needs no introduction. From the CB750 that kicked off the superbike era to the CB350 that became a starter bike for an entire generation, the CB badge is about as iconic as it gets. Fast-forward to today, and Honda has been quietly reviving that heritage in Japan and Asia with the GB350 lineup.

The bikes in the modern-day GB family consist of retro-styled thumpers that channel classic CB charm with modern reliability. One of the latest spins on that formula is the GB350C, a model that takes the core GB350 and cranks up the vintage styling.

Honda first launched the GB350C in late 2024, but for 2025 it’s getting some subtle updates—most notably, a set of new colorways with a military-inspired edge. If the original GB350C leaned toward polished retro chic, the 2025 version toughens things up with a more utilitarian vibe. Honda also tweaked the headlight to throw a wider beam, improving visibility at night. Other than that, the bike is unchanged mechanically.
