2023 Honda Hness CB350: What else can you buy?

Honda recently updated the Hness CB350 for 2023. The motorcycle received subtle updates like the inclusion of the OBD2-B system and a split seat along with a considerable price hike. Now, the prices of the bike start from Rs. 2.10 lakh and go up to Rs. 2.15 lakh. In case, you are wondering what else you can consider around a similar price, here’s a list. 

Royal Enfield Meteor 350: Rs. 2.01 lakh to Rs. 2.17 lakh

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is one of the closest rivals to the Honda Hness. It boasts a retro-inspired cruiser styling and runs on RE’s new J platform-derived 350cc engine. Besides the smooth and torquey motor, comfortable ergonomics is one of the strongest suits of the Meteor. It’s an ideal machine for relaxed long-distance cruising while being suitable for daily commutes as well. 

Jawa 42 Bobber: Rs. 2.06 lakh to Rs. 2.09 lakh

The Jawa 42 Bobber is for those who want to stand out of the crowd with stunning bobber styling. The low-slung profile of the bike with a floating-style single seat, flat and wide handlebar with bar-end mirrors lend it a unique look. Moreover, the 334cc, liquid-cooled engine it is powered by has a sporty character with punchy acceleration. It also gets a six-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, full-LED lighting system, and dual USB charging ports. 

Suzuki V-Strom SX: Rs. 2.12 lakh

For those who want a versatile motorcycle under Rs 2.5 lakh, the Suzuki V-Strom SX is one of the strong contenders. It’s not only a friendly commuter but also comfortable enough to munch long miles at a stretch. Plus, mild off-roading is also doable on the V-Strom. It is powered by a smooth 249cc, oil-cooled engine that produces 26.1bhp and 22.2Nm and comes mated to a six-speed gearbox. 

KTM RC 200: Rs. 2.15 lakh 

The KTM RC 200 is a brilliant package for supersport enthusiasts. It’s not only a capable corner carver, but the latest updates have also made it accessible enough to be used for long-distance riding. Nestling under its radical bodywork is a potent 199.5cc, liquid-cooled engine that churns out 24.6bhp and 19.2Nm. Mated to a six-speed gearbox, this engine delivers a strong punch in the higher revs while offering a decent mid-range grunt to aid tractability.
