Your Highness Rolls Off The Production Line

Honda has officially commenced dispatches of its H’Ness CB350 to Honda BigWing dealerships across India. A special line-off ceremony was held to celebrate the roll out of the retro motorcycle from its manufacturing plant in Manesar, Haryana. Expect the motorcycle to reach all major Honda BigWing dealerships across the country soon. The waiting period ranges from 30-45 days in cities such as Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Honda has priced the bike at Rs 1.85 lakh for the DLX variant and Rs 1.90 lakh for the DLX pro model. Both prices are introductory.

Honda seems to be playing it safe by offering the bike only at its premium big bike dealerships. This way, Honda will be able to keep up with the demand as BigWing dealerships are restricted to select cities. But once Honda sees a consistently healthy demand, expect the Highness CB350 to be available at all of its mainstream dealerships in the future.

The Honda Highness CB350 is the Japanese brand’s first mid-capacity retro motorcycle designed and developed specifically for the Indian market. It is powered by an all-new 348cc single-cylinder air-cooled long-stroke engine that’s counterbalanced. The motor is mated to a 5-speed transmission with assist and slipper clutch, producing 21.07PS and 30Nm.
