Honda GB350 - Even better with more metal than I thought

[@NicksBikes]

I really like that modern-retro look that seems to be gaining traction lately

[@motorcyclingdownunder]

Yeh and the great news is there is likely to be more coming including a retro styled GB500 from Honda. :>)

Beautiful bike. I like the practical features too - grab rail, helmet lock, centre stand. Don’t often see these on new bikes as standard. I’ve put 9000kms on mine and love it more each day. Looking forward to your full review.

[@motorcyclingdownunder]

Thank you for your comment. WOW 9000kms on a bike that has only been in Australia one year. You must love riding it. Being a Honda you could probably have done 90,000 without a single issue. And yes the grab rail, centre stand and helmet lock are great to have included. Will definitely be commenting about that in the full review. :>)

Here in UK & Europe we are anticipating the arrival of the new ( to us ) Honda GB350S early next year 2025

[@motorcyclingdownunder]

Yes I think it will do well there. The UK has many roads that would be perfect for this bike. According to my rego the bike in Australia is the GB350R. I think the S has different side panels and exhaust but sounds exactly the same. I think the S model is one of the current variants in Japan. :>)

As far as I can tell, the mirror backs, taillight chrome and throttle body covers are also metal 🙂

[@motorcyclingdownunder]

Yes I think they might be but not 100 per cent about that. Also those mirror backs are really cool. :>)

I guess we can all hope that this is better than the original, asthmatic , poor handling , non function braking, under powered , chrome plated tin examples .
