Keeway V302C vs Honda H Ness CB 350 Comparison

The Keeway V302C is a neo-retro bobber-styled motorcycle and it was launched in August 2022. As the name suggests, the Keeway V302C gets a V-twin engine, making it Keeway's second V-twin motorcycle in India. Prices for the Keeway V302C begin at Rs. 3.89 lakh, and it is offered with three colour options, each one offered with a different price tag. It gets a 298 cc V-twin engine at its heart. The V-twin puts out 29.1 bhp at 8,500 rpm, and 26.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed transmission and has a belt final drive instead of a chain. While there may not be a direct rival to the V302C, its unique design and an expensive proposition may deter buyers. Plus, Keeway is not exactly a known brand in India and that could hamper the sales of the model too.

The Honda H'Ness CB 350 is one of the most expensive bikes in its segment, barring the Benelli Imperiale 400. But even then, it gets segment-first features like the voice-activated, hands-free bluetooth connectivity, as well as standard traction control, and LED lighting. The CB 350 certainly offers a level of quality and refinement that is noticeable and truly commendable. It's definitely a well-rounded product and has the possibility of creating a new benchmark in the segment.
