Honda's GB350S topped all-model UK motorcycle sales in June 2026. It had briefly ceded the top modern-classic spot to the BSA Bantam 350 earlier in 2026 but has now reclaimed its position as the segment's best seller. The appeal of its simple air-cooled single continues to win over the UK market.

The GB350S beating the BSA Bantam to the top in Britain — an interesting picture. BSA, symbolic of the old British bikes, and a Japanese modern classic, competing on the same footing. From my time in London, the British seem strict about tradition but are actually honest about recognizing a good tool. The numbers back that up.

I hear 'modern classic' a lot these days — what's actually modern about it?

Doesn't the GB350S differ from the base GB350 by little more than the tank?

Top across all models — so it's a genuine overall #1, not just limited to the 250 class.

Funny that it briefly lost the top spot to the BSA Bantam 350 — so the original brand's back too.

Glad the GB350's selling well in the UK too — that air-cooled single's got a good thing going.

The GB350's easy on running costs, no wonder it sells — makes sense it lands well in the UK too.
