Honda has officially introduced the 2025 GB350S, a retro-inspired roadster designed for both beginner and seasoned riders. Positioned as a competitor to Royal Enfield’s popular J-series, this motorcycle combines a nostalgic design with modern engineering to cater to a growing market of A2-licensed riders and those looking for a versatile and approachable ride.
Key Features and Performance
At the heart of the GB350S is a 348cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 20.8 horsepower at 5,500 RPM and 29 Nm of torque at just 3,000 RPM. Tuned for low- and mid-range performance, it’s perfect for city commutes and relaxed cruising. The engine is paired with a five-speed gearbox featuring an assist-and-slipper clutch for smoother shifts, and Honda’s Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) enhances safety by managing rear-wheel traction.
The steel semi-double cradle frame provides stable handling, while the suspension setup includes 41mm telescopic front forks and twin rear shocks. Braking is handled by 310mm front and 240mm rear discs, complemented by ABS. The 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels ensure nimble city maneuverability and a confident ride on open roads.
Design and Features
Styled with a nod to Honda’s iconic roadsters, the GB350S features a steel fuel tank, blacked-out engine detailing, and LED lighting, including a circular headlight. A blend of analogue and digital instrumentation offers essential information with a classic aesthetic. The bike also supports a range of accessories, including saddlebag options and windscreen variants, allowing owners to customize their rides.
Available in Puco Blue, Gunmetal Black Metallic, and Pearl Deep Mud Gray, the GB350S strikes a balance between understated elegance and rugged charm.
