Honda GB350S (2025 onwards)

The Honda GB350S is a retro-style naked bike aimed at beginner riders. It comes with a timeless design and an attractive price tag of around £4,000. The bike is equipped with a 348cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine that is smooth and predictable, but not that powerful. The bike produces only 21bhp, so it is fully A2 legal.

The features are pretty basic, which is tolerable in this price category. You will get a simple tubular steel frame, non-adjustable forks, ABS, and traction control as standard. The build quality is sufficient, and the bike should be reliable in the long run.

A2 Licence Compliance
