Honda CB350 Quick Response Team Bikes: What's Special

The Honda CB350 has been customised to meet the requirements of the Quick Response Team. The bike comes equipped with revolving flashers and blinkers, a public announcement system, a siren and flashlight, side and rear storage panniers, and two Honda-branded safety helmets. The bike is finished in the ‘Mat Dune Brown’ shade and wears reflective stickering on the mudguard, along with a large visor.

Honda says these QRT motorcycles will enable authorities to respond more quickly in dense and sensitive areas, improving on-ground law enforcement, saving lives, and reducing injuries. The vehicles aim to strengthen emergency response and empower police personnel with better tools to carry out responsibilities effectively.
