Hey, Strell great content man, love the straight forward and no bullish idea of motoring. Just a quick question, I am having issues finding a good rear tire. Can i swap the rear tire of my Hness with that of the RS ( since its a 17 ' and these bikes are fundamentally the same). Will I face any issues on downsizing the rear? Thanks!
Finally someone understood the character of this engine. For ppl who rev the nuts out of this engine and end up saying this bike lacks character and feels boring, you don't really get it! It's a torque-rich experience. Only difference between this and RE is that you shift a little later on the Honda due to its taller gearing.
If it has shorter gearing and torque lower down then it would be a torque rich experience. Right now if you wanna go fast you rev the nuts which I love doing, if you wanna chill and enjoy a great sound go easy, high gear low revs and it is such an enjoyable experience despite the dearth of torque lower down.
@@tanujjayaram1392 Did you notice a big difference turning off HSTC? Honestly so far I haven't seen the ABS come on, let alone the torque control, so I'm just wondering how much of a difference there would be.
@@deathbybassofficial there is substantial difference in bottom end torque and also in 5th gear top speed. I used to ride the classic 350 before and I feel bottom end torque on hness is better , provided you switch off hstc.
CB350 Highness owner here since eight months and the engine on this motorcycle is an absolute charm. I mean, the bike is absolutely smooth right from the first gear and the fifth gear makes it completely vibrations free. Sometimes I ride wearing flip-flops and still feel no vibrations on the foot-pegs! Another charm is the clutch - it is so light!!! Third huge deal is the mileage. I hate the brakes though and of course the headlights. Overall it's a lovely machine. I hope Honda launches a twin cylinder bike like Highness❤
@@sameerkharade7750 hey brother don't mind this question in any wrong way, i was planning to purchase a bike but i have confusion between CB350 and CB350 hines can you please explain the difference of both
I think one of the best thing about this bike for me is its weight distribution. I am partially handicapped due to injury on my right leg so I used to ride only smaller capacity bikes. I tried going with Classic 350 and hunter but I wasnt feeling confident with those bikes. Tried Honda highness and got it booked it the next day. Inspite of it being around 180 kg, the bike feels like a 100 cc bike. Even if you're a beginner, you'll feel confident while doing a U turn. This is something that made me buy this bike. They have done a great job with this bike and all the cb350 models.
Hey Strell, bought the cb350 a month ago as my first bike. I'd never ridden a bike before and went straight from a scooter to this bike. I can confirm that as a pure beginner this is a very friendly bike.
I am 5'3 with a 29-30 inseam and upgrading from an old avenger . The problem is I don't feel very confident with tall and heavy bikes like RE . I would just like to know your opinion on how well a guy of my stature would be able to handle this beauty.
@@user-zx2qj1nd8q Unfortunately brother I am nearly 6'2", so our statures are almost a foot apart. While I won't face the same challenges as you, this is my opinion: The bike itself is extremely well balanced. I only really feel the weight when trying to manoeuvre a tight parking spot. I would say that confidence can be built up and there are techniques and methods that you can use to manage the bike in slow traffic or starting/stopping. You do not need a flat foot on both sides to be able to ride any bike. Powerdrift has a video on this I would highly suggest you take a look at. Happy Riding!
@@user-zx2qj1nd8qI am 5.6 and tried the Highness and CB350RS, both are tall and heavy for me. On the other hand most RE bikes 350cc are very small and manageable. I am taking about bullet, Classic , Hunter and Meteor. Also the Jawa and Yejdi are cool. Another bike I tried was the beautiful Kawasaki Vulcan S which is a true cruiser in comfort and sport bike while riding. Also the Pulsar 250s are comfortable to me. No matter what you buy, take a test ride.
@@abhijiththarun5953 man he literally says that his friend copied the answers and made it better by adding something himself. He is actually praising honda
I bought hness cb350 last week and had test ride of this classic cb350 too. The major difference is -hness has that thump sound which lacks in this classic cb350 -hness has slightly tall seat height than this and hness has extra ground clearance than this too. -all colours look attractive in hness cb350 but only black and matt grey looks good in classic cb350. -if you want good thump sound, a high power (due to lower weight of hness as compared to classic cb350) , less weight and look go for hness cb350 . -if you want bulky and classic look ,little more weight and lower ground clearance then go for this classic cb350.
@@vishal.r3502 no wobbling issues. You won't feel vibrations if you shift gears correctly I mean at right time. If you are a family man and often have to travel with ladies or any person who is fat or short means I would recommend you to buy cb350 classic. Because cb350 hness is OK if you and your pillion are fit. If you want comfort go for cb350 classic. No wobble issues ever faced I rode 6000 kms not a single problem faced. If you want performance go for hness or cb350 rs. If you want comfort go for cb350 classic. All the 3 bikes are good and I recommend you to test ride in showroom for further clarity
Went to the bigwing .. was planning to buy highness … tried cb350 for the first time … and now im a satisfied cb350 owner . Great bike so far . Yes service cost was 2500/- for first service .
Honda H'ness Cb 350 in every damm aspect... That maverick is in between harley and hero... without any of their proper character... And the CB 350 is a damn Honda .. Anyday Honda Engine
I bought a CB350 a month ago and my Friend owns a Hiness and we had churned out a mileage of 50kmpl along with the pillion(on Hiness)we ourselves were shocked due the mileage cause it's way too much for a 350cc so i was easily convinced about my decision
So this motocycle is not for the mountain rides ? I current Have Honda Sp125 and thinking of buying a new more powerful bike for Trips mainly to Mountains, is CB 200 X a Better Choice than this ?
Hey Strell! Let's get it straight. I'm running a Honda Unicorn 150 and thinking to upgrade to 350cc. Which one should I go for? Classic 350 or CB 350? (Other experienced viewers suggestions will be welcomed too!!)
I owned a Unicorn , then a Thunderbird for 10+ years and now a Honda CB350 (clocked 1500KM as of now) . My verdict is Honda Cb350 as i was looking for better engine refinement , lesser vibrations, better service experience and most of all reliability. Honda ticked all the boxes for me. I would not consider a Honda CB350 ONLY IF there is no Bigwing dealer ship nearby. In every other scenario this is better than a Classic 350 (Even the latest Classics which are much better than my 2008 model Thunderbird)
Bro jada kuch ni bolunga... 1st jan ko CB350 purchase ki hai.... And har perspective se dil jeet lia isne...mileage, looks, 1st service experience... I mean everything... Road presence bhi boht acha hai bike ka.... Bullet to ajkl boht common ho gyi hai... Pr ise splendor se lekr bullet wala bhi mud mud kr dekhta hai...overall makhan bike hai... Ankh bnd krke iski trf jao🙌😌
Hello I love motorcycles and i just turned 19 and got my driving licence What kind of body physic I need to maintain to be in a position for riding motorcycles for a long period of time I currently wiegh 68 kgs and my height is 5'11"
Most Peculiar thing is how big brand channels have completely neglected this bike this is the problem with good companies they don't spend much on marketing that's why good products remain under the radar
Brother... i always love❤ watching your reviews .. and Pls do a video on cb 300r Once again bocoz of that price cut of about 37 k . if that price cut ie the ex showroom price of 2.4 lacs makes it a good deal at this 2024 or not? If this price cut has done any kind of quality downgrade to that beautiful bike?????? Pls pls....
Depends on what you want to do with the bike? If you want to commute within city and occasional highway and you don't plan to invest so much time in acquiring riding skills then modern 160-200cc (15-25bhp) class is good for you. If you think you can spend time to learn skilling up then you look for modern 400+cc segment (40+bhp) If you into retro bikes you know where to look at
Can anyone help me out? I am considering to get a bike around 2.5 Lac on road. Is considering the CB350 series over Classic 350 or Meteor 350 a good choice keeping in mind that BigWing service centers are so so very less and also parts availability of CB350 series is not that great when compared to RE. Please guide. I want to get a bike which is comfortable to ride (Preferably a straight seat), i am also considering Vitpilen 250 2024 (Handle bars are raised in this version).
Hi bhai can you seriously suggest me which bike i should go for RE classic or highnesses… I am really confused and mind is in wobbling state …. There are some issue with highness that is wobbling issues and breakpad issues please suggest
@iamstrell, do u recommend re int 650 or cb350 for an alternative bike to honda transalp for city usage? I am a transalp owner, i am looking at some city bike with a pilion rider.
5 gears, waste of hard-earned money Must go for 6 speed gearbox, cb350 Big disappointment, highly underpowered on highway Absolutely Not a wise man's choice.
I want to upgarde from FZX and have 2 bikes in mind ... CB 350 classic and Mavrick... Waiting for your review on the mavrick. Which would you suggest? I am not a maniac on the road i ride calmly but would like a bike with good highway legs also. My FZX engine gaurd scrapes on most of the bumps i come across on my daily route on Bangalore and some in Kerala as well
I've been using this (CB350 H'ness) for the last 3 years, toured extensively. Agree with you all on points - relaxed, reliable, comfortable, stubstantial. Are you planning to do a review of the MT03, by any chance? - I'm now thinking on trying something else.
@@saumyadeepkundu828 No issues with service in Kolkata. When I bought mine, there was only one near Chinar Park. Now there's one more in South Kolkata. With pillion, in plains and low hills it'll do fine. With pillion and luggage, it will be somewhat challenging on any incline and major challenge in really high altitudes.
@@udayshome1793I get it, but i was asking about less number of Bigwing service centers in many non-metro cities where ktm or RE service centers are present.
Hi honda highness owner here. 15months of owning and almost after 10k km. I can assure that it’s an amazing bike with little flaws. Would love to have a 500cc Engine this classic style.
Why does not Honda manufacture a 500cc exactly like this bike. I missed out buying the Bullet 500 CI Standard and have regretted that for ever. 650s are too big an engine for Indian city roads.
Beware that the Honda CB 350 has weak back Wheel rim, my CB 350 back wheel rim was bent in 6 months of use. Honda denied warranty. Do not buy Honda, there is a reason they cannot compete with RE, because they have no commitment to customers. Buy at your own risk!
Guys no auto enthusiasts have the guts to say when Mahindra copied everything single bit from JEEP WRANGLER shame on them, n so many ppl r living with it. Actually all retro classic looks are similar back in those days. If jawa was made bulkier even that would look like RE. Honda is a league ahead of RE nt even deservered to be compared with it.
Honda is only air cooled, its a outdated engine don't go for highness rs or cb350, Harley is really a better option Take a test ride of Harley x440 and then decide
I own mojo did many times 1000 kms rides without many breaks in a single day and i live nearby dhimbam ghats almost ridden 10000 kms ghats only nothing happened not only honda even mojo is far more reliable than honda
@@vaibhavdubey8647 come and we both will go and 🤣🤣 register arey bhai ye typo error break liya but ek din me 1000 kms cover kiya 😁 mera abhi edit karega
I own a mojo, bought last July and I can surely confirm that Mojo is actually quality for money, refined engine, all parts, welds are top notch, did around 400kms on the first day itself with the pillion, it is in a league of it’s own
@@hemalp5391 exactly bhai i bought in oct 2021 now 33000 kms done excellent bike engine is a gem tell to this kids commenting without owning any bike simply commenting
It doesn't generate power like others, so it's reliable,,,it is lethargic even when only one person is sitting, if two people it will feel more & more lazy.
