The Indian motorcycle market is bustling with new and exciting models from big names like Triumph and Harley-Davidson. Partnerships with local manufacturers – such as Bajaj and Hero MotoCorp, respectively – has paved the way for these big names to enter the beginner-friendly market. That said, this move is certainly building pressure on established brands like Honda and Royal Enfield.
While we know that Royal Enfield is cooking up some new models behind the scenes, it's been a while since we've seen a new middleweight offering from Honda for the Indian market. Back in 2020, when Honda launched the CB350 H'Ness, it caused quite a stir not just in India, but all over the world. The littler classic-style roadster embodied a modern-day evocation of the iconic CB350, but alas, it remained an India-exclusive, with Japan getting in on the fun with the bike sold under the GB350 moniker.
