Conclusion
The BS6 Classic 350 is the most reasonably priced of the bunch when compared to its competitors, which includes the CB350. It certainly lacks the equipment and performance that the CB350 delivers, at least on paper. However, the most crucial point is that Indian shoppers do not purchase the Classic 350 for its characteristics. It is purchased for its history and unrivalled Royal Enfield thud. The Honda CB350, on the other hand, will win your heart if you don’t mind spending more money and if you’re looking for some modern features hidden under a motorcycle with a retro aesthetic.
