Honda is strengthening India as a manufacturing and export hub while preparing ten locally produced motorcycles and scooters, including seven new models and three updates. The CB350, CB350C and CB350RS receive new colors but retain their 348.36cc single-cylinder hardware. A fourth line at the Vithalapur plant is due in 2027, adding 650,000 units of annual capacity and lifting the site to 2.61 million.

The CB350 family keeps its specifications while tidying up colors and names. The factory expansion is what really raises my pulse: extra capacity makes it far more realistic for previously regional models to reach global markets. Beyond the first visual impact, the important follow-up is what changes in real use, including market-specific equipment, price and riding feel.

Twenty-one horsepower is enough for back-road touring. A simple single can be the most enjoyable.

An extra 650,000 units a year is substantial. I want to see the export allocation.

Even with more production capacity, launches still depend on certification and a dealer network in each market.

The 350cc single-cylinder class already has strong rivals. New colors alone will not win it.

If Indian production keeps the price down, this could be very competitive.

Please sell the CB350RS in more countries.

So exports are not confirmed yet. I will wait for an official announcement.
