Cylinders drawn to the same scale. The CB350C's longer stroke is what puts its peak torque lower in the rev range. Both: 9.5 : 1 compression, 5-speed gearbox, assist and slipper clutch.

kerb weight

CB350C: 186 kg kerb weight, from the Honda CB350C brochure. Honda does not state the fuel level used.
Classic 350: 195 kg kerb weight "with 90% fuel and oil", from royalenfield.com.

Both bars start at 0 kg, so the 9 kg gap is drawn at its real size: about 5% of either motorcycle. You feel a difference like this mostly at walking pace, when pushing, parking or turning the bike by hand. The two makers may not measure kerb weight in exactly the same way, so treat the gap as approximate.

Seat height

Practically level

CB350C

800mm

Classic 350

805mm

Both seat heights measured from one ground line and drawn to the scale of the CB350C's official side view (its 800 mm seat and 1,441 mm wheelbase line up with the photo). The Classic 350 is shown by its seat-height line only. At true scale the two lines are almost on top of each other, so the ×20 detail shows the 5 mm gap. How easily you reach the ground also depends on seat width, shape and suspension, so sit on both.

Each disc is drawn once per motorcycle, on the same centre and scale: solid for the CB350C, dashed for the Classic 350. Disc size alone does not decide braking performance; calipers, pads, tyres and ABS tuning matter too, and neither maker publishes stopping distances.
