Meanwhile, at the rear, the bike comes with a 240mm disc brake.
The engine that powers the Honda H’Ness CB350 is a 348.36cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It produces a maximum output of 20.8BHP and 30Nm of torque. Meanwhile, the engine also comes mated to a 5-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch.
