Honda 2Wheelers India is currently offering handsome discounts on its H’ness CB350 and CB350RS bikes. The buyers can take benefits up to Rs 26,000, but there is one twist: the deal is exclusively available to beneficiaries of the defence canteens and not to the general public. The bikes would be available at just 35 canteen store departments (CSD) throughout India. The move is intended to commemorate Honda’s role as a mobility collaborator in the country’s defence sector.
Turning to the pricing, the standard price of the Honda H’ness CB350 starts at Rs 1.96 lakh, but at the CSDs, it will be offered at Rs 1.70 lakh for the DLX variant and Rs 1.74 lakh for the DLX Pro variant. On the other hand, the Honda CB350RS is available for the general public at Rs 2.01 lakh, but at the CSD canteens, it will cost Rs 1.74 lakh for the single-tone variant and Rs 1.75 lakh for the dual-tone colour variant.
The purchase of these motorcycles as CSD beneficiaries is quite easy. You just need to navigate to the CSD India website, choose a dealer, and then select a model. In the final step, after submitting the required documents, the Local Supply Order will be produced.
Speaking of the features of these two bikes, the Honda H’ness CB350 and CB350RS share numerous features, notably the half-duplex cradle chassis. The latter is a sportier version of the H’ness with features like an LED tail lamp mounted beneath the seat, front fork gaiters, a redesigned headlamp ring, a tuck and roll seat, a wider handlebar layout, and more. In terms of performance, the same 348.36cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine powers both motorcycles that deliver 21 hp and 30 Nm of peak torque when coupled to a 5-speed gearbox.
