Grab-and-go: A custom kit for the Honda CB350 from Taiwan
The modern-day Honda CB350 is one of those motorcycles we wished was available in more parts of the world. It first broke cover in India, where it's produced, and later rolled out to Japan as the rebadged GB350. You can get it in Taiwan too, where it's officially called the Honda H'ness...

I may have said this before but As a highschool kid a friends dad Ken, bought a new cb 350. It was the baddest bike in town and every kid wanted one. Memories of Ken crossing a deep river on that bike with the pipe bubbleing under water will forever be with me. Ken was a Korean war vet turned missionary bush pilot of both a Cessna 206 with stoll wings and an old mash style helicopter.
Ken ended up retiring in Dallas and iv visited him several times. At 83 he rode a gold wing to the arctic circle, the last 20 miles were on the freshly graded and wet haul road.
At 87 he rode the gold wing to New York in January to a family reunion. He sold it when he got back and bought a bmw because it had become too heavy for him.
He now has terminal cancer but is still very much someone I look up to like i did when I was a kid.
I probably would not buy the new 350 but id i did it would be solely because of my impressions of Ken.

That's all the numbers for 2023 I thought it would be much higher. Maybe for a quarter?
The article mentions that there were some production problems in the first half of the year.
Is Honda bringing a variation of the CB350 to the US?
