Honda working on CB350-based scrambler; patent leaked

The scrambler could use the same 348cc single-cylinder engine as the CB350 and CB350RS.

Honda has filed design patents for a new scrambler-style motorcycle. It is likely to be based on the CB350 platform.

The patent images reveal a bike that looks similar to the H’ness CB350. However, it has a different fuel tank design, akin to an ADV and even features a metal bracket on the side.

The seat has also been redesigned. It is a 2-piece seat with the front seat designed to overlap the fuel tank in true ADV style. The bike has a circular headlamp, swept-up exhaust and a long rear fender.

The new Honda scrambler is expected to use the same 348cc single-cylinder engine as the CB350 and CB350RS. This unit produces 21 BHP and 30 Nm and is paired with a 5-speed gearbox.

The Scrambler could be equipped with a telescopic front fork featuring rubber gaiters and conventional shock absorbers at the rear. The brake setup might consist of disc brakes at the front and rear.
