The redesigned GB350 range has been formally announced by Honda and the bike looks incredible especially in its new Pearl Hawk’s Eye Blue paint. It’s the ideal fusion of classic design and contemporary dependability, something Honda has consistently excelled at.
A Retro Roadster That Hits All the Right Notes
The GB350 has traditional charm in every way. The motorcycle feel like a direct throwback to the 1970s thanks to its polished chrome exhaust, circular LED headlamp, fork gaiter and exquisitely carved two tone tank.
Purists will be relieved that Honda hasn’t overused technology. However, all the essentials are present, including a USB charging port, LED lighting and a simple instrument cluster that smoothly combines the old and the modern.
Honda is selling the GB350 in two different colors for 2025:
- Pearl Hawk’s Eye Blue (the fan favorite)
- Classical White
Both will debut in Japan this August.
Small But Mighty — Perfect for Urban Riders
A 348cc engine may not seem spectacular on paper but that isn’t the bike’s purpose. Its 20.7 horsepower and 21.3 lb-ft of torque make it the perfect everyday vehicle smooth enough for commuting, enjoyable enough for weekend excursion and amiable enough for novice rider.
The GB350 feels light and manageable in urban traffic while weighing just less than 400 pound. It is one of the most affordable retro style motorcycle available because of its low seat height which gives shorter riders more confidence.
Built to Be Loved — and Last
Honda didn’t just focus on looks. The GB350 comes with:
- An air-cooled single cylinder engine
- A smooth 5 speed gearbox
- Front and rear disc brakes
- Cast-aluminum wheels
- Metzeler Tourance Next tires
This isn’t the kind of bike you buy and park in the garage for admiration. It’s built to be ridden daily, maintained easily and kept for years. The combination of simplicity and durability is what makes this bike special.
The Real Tease? Japan Gets It First
The GB350 will officially go on sale in Japan on August 28, with a starting price equivalent to around $4,500 USD. At that price the bike is nothing short of a bargain—especially for anyone craving a retro machine that doesn’t compromise on reliability.
So why don’t we have it in the U.S.?
Well, Honda hasn’t given a clear explanation. For now, the closest American riders get is the Honda SCL500, which is more of a scrambler than a classic street bike. Nice, yes—but not quite the nostalgic GB350 charm that so many riders are craving.
Final Thoughts: Honda GB350, please bring this bike to America!
The 2025 Honda GB350 hits the sweet spot—affordable, stylish, beginner-friendly, and unmistakably retro. In many ways, it’s the perfect first bike, second bike, or “I just want something cool to cruise on” bike.
Until Honda decides to bring it stateside, all we can do is admire from afar… or start a petition and hope someone at Honda is listening.
