Rumors around here talk of a GB500 for 2026 at the earliest. Probably with the 47hp twin already found on other Honda 500s (a shame, a mono would be more fun).
Looks exactly what I’m after since experiencing a whole load of reliability issues with Triumph’s Speed Twin 900. I think I’ll be holding my money until the rumoured GB500 shows though.
@@richardmcgrath61 No I haven't. My understanding is that they are similar in specs and price. I think I saw the Honda before I saw the Royal Enfield, so I didn't road test the Royal Enfield. I would be interested to know if others have ridden both and if they have a preference.
@@keithryanAUNow I ride CB125. What can you say about main differences when you ride now gb350 after cb125? I understand gb have more power, but does it feels heavy or sluggish after 125?
@@TomazasTM certainly it is heavier, at 180kg compared to 115kg with the CB125 but it's not a negative in my mind as you get great handling with the extra cc's of power. Definitely not sluggish at all, it's a really good step up from the CB125. Also if you are taking a passenger now and then you definitely want the GB350 over the CB125. I still have a 125 which my son usually rides, and I recently rode it but I really want to ride the GB350
Haven't ridden a GB350..yet. But test rode the RE Classic 350 and Honda's CL500 and last month purchased a V-Strom 650. A single cylinder 350 has heaps more character than the modern 500 twin, the 500 wins on power and torque. There are rumours of a GB500 but I can't wait so It's a GB350 as my short/trip commute and my V-Strom 650 for longer trips.
@@Berindei_Stefan If you need 100% confirmation you may want to contact Honda, I also checked the part but couldn't find anything about the construction
I am hoping to get mine next spring, when they become available here in Ireland. Thanks for sharing.
@@tonystone3397 That's great, you will love it.
Thanks for the review, Honda has started marketing the GB350S model in Europe. It's a beautiful bike. Greetings from Spain, enjoy it very much 😎
It was useful to see the GB350 on the freeway at 100 to 110 km/h. Thank you.
Yea, here in Sweden, that would be a question for me also.
Wish they sold this in the USA amazing bike!
I love the analogue speedometer ! Great to see on a Honda today !
The GB 350s comes to Europe in 2025 finally and the GB 500 us due later in 2025.
The 500? I haven’t seen anything about that, just rumors?

@@Stof31 A twin would be a shame alright, 2026 bit far out but hey, hopefully it will arrive sooner.

"I get stairs sometimes" ?? Oh, stares ! Thanks auto-subtitles.
Have you ridden a Royal Enfield 350, and if so how does the Honda compare?

@@richardmcgrath61 thanks for the sub too
Amazing bike. I would like 5 more hp
thanks for this
How is the engine vibration feel at 100-110km/h? Cheers.
@@Tesla_NZ I don't really notice much or difference at that speed compared to lower speeds
Barely any, I've felt barely any vibrations till 115kph, but I did feel a little when trying to accelerate at that speed with a pillion.
Thanks.
Have you ridden a Honda with a more conventional modern engine, like one of their 500s? How do they compare in terms of riding experience?
No, this and the CB125 are the only bikes I have rode on, maybe someone can comment who has experienced the 500s.

@ thank you for your answer👍. I am waiting GB350 in Europe for next year. It is very stylish bike.

is the swing arm made of alluminium or steel?
Steel
@ are you dire because when i first looked at it i tought it was made from alluminium because of thr shape 🤔
@@Berindei_Stefan I touched it and it sounds like steel to me.
@ hmm im asking cause i couldn't find some specs about the swing arm material but if you say its made from steel thats great
@@Berindei_Stefan If you need 100% confirmation you may want to contact Honda, I also checked the part but couldn't find anything about the construction
not sure but in India i think its renamed as the Cb350 and the Cb350rs
Also, CB350 are made in India whereas GB350 are made in Japan.
@@sopranomadness894 oh dammn,its a good bike irrespective imo
