This seems a relaxing, non-aggressive bike to ride. That would be what I am looking for. I like the thumping sound at lower rpm. The eco-mode light is a bit small. And from aesthetic reasons I would love a double gauge. Also, a combined brake system would be good. I hope the last gear is something like an O/D. Thanks for the nice ride report, well done! Best from Singapore, I'd say. Only the sound in the helmet is a bit muffled.
brother i also got one for last 2 mths. u like it? i think its super beautiful. the exhaust is music. but i always wished i got a hooligan bike like yamaha r3.
Very Good Looking la. My kind of bike, from my era , the style is very eighties look. The low revs with higher torque at tractor style revs, is perfect for Singapore as you can't be racing around there anyway, and the feel and enjoyment of the ride is something hard to find and experience under Singaporean traffic laws. This bike allows some fun to be had i believe. I live on a small island where we also cannot be racing around, but these bikes in Thailand come served with tractor tyres because of the bad roads. I find them better. I am waiting to see if this bike is coming out in Thailand. I own a royal enfield scram 411 also a 'tractor' but adventure bike style, which is fantastic. Waiting to see how the GB350 stands up against the RE Classic. There is i believe a classic version of the Honda GB350 which emulates the Enfield even more
@@Gator1699 I certainly would not mind, but I'd also take a simple technology torquey 2-cylinder, and then rather high grade rear shocks and forks, and classy seat, etc.. Like a premium new CB350.
@@zwc888 I read an article from an Australian website saying the GB 350 is manufactured in Japan. It'll be imported to the Australian market by the end of 2023. Can't wait to get one in Sydney. That's why I search reviews on the bike. Thanks for the video. Good job mate.
Haha can tell this is Singapore, as you are limited to heck with what you are allowed to test out haha. Feel sorry for Singaporean classic bike and car owners, as It isn't really worth having any vehicle there except for necessity, as the laws don't let you have any fun, and all you have is city no winding country roads. Come to Thailand with it Bro and you can give it some real wellie! with no helmet or license needed. five year olds with their four siblings and grandma (and a stack of hay!), can drive at 150 kmh here everyone on one bike (with the family buffalo strapped to the back) LOL. In Singapore, you take a wrong turn in city center and your bank card gets deducted 10 bucks for using a main street automatic deduction no choice by owner of bank account/driver. My son is Singaporean from Serangoon. Shame he cant learn to ride as i did at 10 years old. He is 14 and he won't get a chance to ride a motorcycle till it is too late to become a natural rider (ride since childhood is the way to winnerdom)
Don't believe this guy, you ride with no helmet and like an idiot in Thailand you will be paying the local cops plenty of tea money. Unless you are a bunch of 5 year-olds riding around on a 15 year old Honda Click, the road rules are pretty much the same as most other countries
The seat height is pretty tall. I reckon anyone before 165 cm (5ft 4') will only be able to put down 1 foot. Unless you are confident in shifting your butt to either side when stopping, then it will be all good.
@@zwc888 Actually in India we have Honda H’ness CB 350 and CB 350 RS, and recently launched CB 350 same engine but we don’t have that colour The GB 350 S looks more like our CB 350 RS
It is an air-cooled very long stroke single... bore/stroke ratio 70/90 = 0.777,,, don't expect to get more than 1 horse pr cubic inch for such a design.. 348cc = 21.24 cubic inches.. Maybe 22 bhp but that is about it..
That would be no problem - technically. But you also would get a lot hotter engine. Let's enjoy it for what it is, a no problem relax ride with low maintenance cost.
Actually not really better - the gearing is too tall, so the critical "I can lug the bike at low speed, or whack the throttle open at low speeds in top gear" charm of the Enfield is lost
