Royal Enfield Hunter 350 vs Honda Highness CB 350 - Ride Comparison - What to buy ?? 

U get all bits and pieces better on Hness 1. Better suspension 2. Better wheel size 3. Bigger tank 4. Slip and assist clutch 5. Better ground clearance 6. Better built quality 7. Standar BT connectivity 8. Led Lights all over 9. Longer seats 10. Better torque 11. Raised handle bar 12. Better seats 13. Metal and chrome parts vs plastic These all factors add up to that difference Don't say that extra price is not justified

That Happy laugh at 6:26 while riding Highness tells everything about the video and clearly shows who is the winner.

I noticed happiness in your voice while riding Honda CB 350 😃😆😂🤣

Being a Mechanical engineer and a designer in automotive field, I have following observations. I was looking for a family bike for city rides mostly with a flat (horizontal seat), circular headlamp and retro-like + premium design (not like 100-150cc bikes). After exploring lot of bikes, I finalized three options to compare. 1. Honda H'ness 350 CC 2. Royal Enfield Hunter Rebel 350 CC 3. TVS Ronin 225 CC I test drove all 3 vehicles 2-3 times and following are my observations, 1. Honda H'ness 350 CC - *Pros* - Nice retro/classic look, Low end torque is good, Seating space for pillion rider is more than other two vehicles. *Cons* - Bulkier (Box size), Paint quality, Higher cost as compared to other two vehicles 2. Royal Enfield Hunter Rebel 350 CC - *Pros* - Beautiful Design/Styling/Look, Great color schemes, Turning radius is smaller than Ronin (Less space to turn the vehicle), Reasonable cost. *Cons* - The biggest issue (design flaw) is positioning of foot rest (pegs), just below the sitting position. This makes it difficult to keep your feet on ground while you are at signal or in slow moving traffic. Foot rest (pegs) keep touching your legs and is very uncomfortable. Another point is that seat on rear end tapers downward and seating space for pillion rider being less, pillion rider tend to move back and when you accelerate, pillion may feel like toppling/falling down at back side. So this is not safe and hence, back rest is MUST. Handle bar positioned in such a way that you need to keep your hands stretched straight all the times which is not a comfortable sitting posture. Low end torque/performance (2 & 3 gear) is sluggish due to bigger engine. (Not as good as smaller capacity bikes) 3. TVS Ronin 225 CC - *Pros* - Semi-retro look with circular headlamp, Driveability and Performance is superb. Handle bar position is very good for comfortable sitting posture with hands slightly bent in elbows. Very easy to handle in traffic. *Cons* - Very bad design/aesthetics of fuel tank (some odd shape), Color schemes are odd (not impressive), Turning radius is higher than Hunter (Needs larger space to turn the vehicle). Cost is on higher side for lower CC as compared to Hunter (mainly due to features). Overall, none of them is meeting my requirements (as mentioned above) and hence, I decided to wait for Kawasaki W175 or Yamaha XSR or Improved version of Royal Enfield Hunter. All the best!

Assist and Slipper Clutch, All LED Lighting, Bigger Fuel Tank, Better Suspension and Honda Refinement(RE don't even comes near it) those are the justified reason for Premium in Honda. Also Topline Hunter is around 1.93 lakhs. But if still money is concerned between these two go with Hunter. (Sometime we are already stretched by 50K from 1.50 lakhs to 2.00 lakhs in that case Hunter is much better proposition)

Budget hai accha Highness lee loo Agar paise jaada lee rahe toh worth bhi hai. 1) Bigger fuel tank 2) All Led Setup 3) High Power 4) Buttery Smooth Engine Refinement 5) Good Fit and finish 6) Soft Clutch 7) Less maintenance 8) Comfortable Sitting Position 9) No Vibration on handle, Mirror, Fuel Tank etc 10) Sweet Exhaust it's loud but not the irritating one. 11) Killer Looks 🔥🔥🔥

RE hunter Top rebel black is 2L on road in my state And H'ness CB350 is 2.4 lack.. Thats 40000 difference sir. And that's why I booked RE hunter Rebel black and paying cash with my own money💯🕺

Its true that people who are rational, logical and have no ego involved often come to same conclusion. In my swot analysis, I reached to similar conclusion. However, my age is 30, being from tier 3 city with 1 RE showrooms and 3 service centers, My first bike from my own (believe me I used to envy when despite being a topper throughout was never given or gifted anything when others who just pass used to get pulsar etc I was too proud to skip purchasing motorcycles) and soon booking my first car too, so it became inevitable. Keeping all the above points in the list of price, city maneuverability, brand, resale value. I finally went for hunter 350 rebel blue custom

Thanks for this comparison , I ride mostly city but I will buy highness 350.

Unfair comparison to be honest considering the price range. 40-50k matters too for too many people. :-)

I ridden both the bike and yesterday owned CB350 Highness it's a perfect bike❤️

bhai Hness ki average 8-10 km jyada hai.. 4-5 saal me cost puri kar deta hai... upar se Overalll honda Hunter se bahut jyada acchi hai

I have booked a Hunter 350. I did consider Honda CB350RS. If you ask me, which is a better bike overall, I would say it's the Honda. But is it 50k rupees better? Definitely no. Hunter 350 has better gear ratios which makes it more easy to ride. I had extensively ridden the H'ness(which I rented) in Bangalore City and I was riding mostly in 1st and 2nd gear and sometimes 3rd gear. I could hardly take it to the 4th and 5th gears. It's that tall. For the price that RE has offered Hunter, it's a real deal.

50k price difference isnt a comparison at all....if it is then Hunter is far better than Hness because of being 50k lower in price ..simple

My height is 5'5"..which one i should buy hunter or cb350??

Please bro do comparison between cb350rs vs hunter 350

Confused between hunter vs Ronin vs Honda CB daily drive 40km want comfort and mileage and sometime for long drive..!!

Honda H'ness or CB350 is simply not an option for a lot of people because of the unavailability of the showrooms. The next best option is simply Hunter 350

Cb is more more refined

Honda highness and reliability its.🔥

Thanks for this video... Helpful

As you told if any questions ask me hear is my few ones plz reply. Which one is quick and speedy? Which one is fun to ride? Which one feel lite? Which one suit for trippel seating? Which one feel stable ? Which one stick more to road for confident ride ? Which one feel smooth on bad road?

Mai beginner hun,konsa best rahega? Highness or hunter?

To all RE lovers there is no match for the HONDA Hness/CB350.... If you think RE is an emotion, don't be that stupid to buy an emotion worth more than lakhs but not the value of money 🤣

Meteor or CB 350 ka compair ho sakta hai price cruising and

which is better in refinement and cheaper to maintain between hunter and highness please share inputs!

Honda , Honda, is Honda no comparison b/w other bike the best Honda

I have a cb 350 but when the front tyre bumps in a big pathhole a clincking sound comes from it. Does anybody know what it is?

Right side sound not working . I thought my laptop speaker broke

Kaun se bike best zada looking h dono me se students k liye

Bhai long ride pa suspension stiff ho Jata ha Kiya

Please do review of Ronin vs Highness also for all conditions riding .

Brother tell me genuinely is hunter worth buying do it vibrates on 80+ speed which will be better from these highness or hunter. For Honda i am not convinced with Big wing don't know when they come to shut down due to less demand

Pure comfort ke liye Meteor ya Classic best nahi h?

right ear me awaj hi nahi

Agar aapko city main chalana hai to Ronin le lena.

Har baap ka ek baap hota hai aur usee hum Honda kehte hai 😎🔥🔥

Nice video

Royal Enfield Hunter 👌👌🔥🔥🔥

Nice video bro

ERRORS I SPOTTED IN THIS VIDEO & SOME GOOD SUGGESTIONS COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO DID RIDE BOTH OF THE BIKES. CB 350 :- DRY WEIGHT 181 & HUNTER 177/179 CB 350 HAS 15.5 KW=20.78 BHP (NEARLY 21 BHP, 20.O7 BHP MEANS JUST BARELY 20, EVEN 1 BHP MAKES QUITE SOME DIFFERENCE!!!!) THE VIBRATION IS QUITE EVIDENT & SOMETIMES EVEN A BIT IRRITABLE AND NOTICABLE IN HUNTER 350 WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER J SERIES PLATFORM AND CB 350. THE CB 350 HAS GOT LIKE A REALLY SMOOTH SLIPPER CLUTCH WHICH IS QUITE CONVENIENT TO USE WHILE HANGING UP IN A NASTY TRAFFIC WHEN COMPARED TO THE PRETTY HARD CLUTCH WHICH THE HUNTER 350 HAS TO OFFER IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR LIKE A PRETTY BIG BIKE, I WOULDN'T MENTION HUGE, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PERFECT MODERN RETRO, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PLEASURE RIDE WITH "THE" MINIMAL VIBRATIONS YOU CAN GET IN A 350-400 CC SEGMENT OR IN A CRUISER SEGMENT & IF YOU ARE A NOT SO AGGRESSIVE RIDER WHO DOESN'T PREFER TO FILTER TRAFFIC AND FLICK YOUR BIKE MORE OFTEN, THEN CONGRATS YOUR PERFECT PICK HERE MUST BE THE CB 350 IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING NEW & A SCRAMBLER RESEMBLANCE BIKE( I WOULDN'T REALLY CALL HUNTER A SCRAMBLER COZ FOR STARTERS IT'S GROUND CLEARANCE IS WAY TOO LOW FOR A SCRAMBLER AND ITS A BIT TOO SMALL LIKE SOME NORMAL COMMUTER BIKES, IM NOT DISRESPECTING COMMUTER BIKES HERE COZ I HAD MY BIKING JOURNEY HAIL FROM ONE!!) IF YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO FLICKS MORE OFTEN AND SOMEONE WHO LIKES TO FILTER THROUGH TRAFFIC MORE OFTEN, THEN YOUR PICK MUST BE THE HUNTER. BUT IF YOU ARE ANYWHERE NEAR 85 & ABOVE, I WOULD SUGGEST YOU MAY CONSIDER SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THAN THE HUNTER & IT'S COZ OF THE GROUND CLEARANCE WHERE THIS BIKE IS STINGY AT. IF YOU ARE 6 FOOT TALL AND WEIGH A BIT HEAVIER, IM NOT BODY SHAMING ANYONE HERE COZ I MYSELF WEIGH NEAR 90 KG. YOU SURE HAVE A CHANCE OF YOUR BIKE GETTING SCRAPED IN ITS UNDER BELLY, SO CHECK THESE FACTS BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY TURN UP TO BUY THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MACHINE. PEOPLE WHO ARE NEAR AND ABOVE 6 FOOT TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS, THE BIKE LOOKS LIKE A TOY IN THE HANDS OF A GIANT TODDLER WHEN YOU GET ON IT AND IT FEELS AWKWARDLY NIMBLE & A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE COZ OF OUR HEIGHT. I NOW HAVE A CB350 IT DOES HAVE A SMOOTH ENGINE KUST LIKE A JAPANESE ENGINE MUST BE, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY SOMETHING EASY TO FLICK AND CAN FILTER TRAFFIC EASILY, WELL IF YOU WANT A MODERN RETRO BIKE YOU REALLY CAN'T BLAME IT'S WEIGHT & ITS LACK OF DEXTERITY. BUT YEAH I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED AROUND 275 KMS WITHOUT ANY HURDLES AND WITH ITS NO VIBRATION THINGY. I WOULDN'T SAY HUNTER IS BAD/WORSE. COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO HAD HIS EYES ON THE 650 TWINS AND HAD TO BUY CB 350 COS OF MONETARY REASONS AND LACK OF EXPERIENCE IN BIKING. BUT STILL I LOVE THAT JAPANESE MODERN RETRO CLASSIC I HAVE & I'M ALSO NOT EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST REGRETTING MY FORCED DECISION, BUT I STILL DO HAVE FEELINGS FOT THE 650 TWINS 🤫😝😜 AND ALSO GETTING TO IMPROVE MY SKILLS DAY AFTER DAY. BUT I STRONGLY DO SAY THAT THE HUNTER 350 IS FOR SOMEONE A BIT LIGHTER THAN 85 KGS AND SOMEONE LESS THAN 5'9. I MYSELF BEING SOMEWHERE AROUND 6'0/ 6'1/6'2, ITS QUITE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME WHEN 8 GET ON IT AND I DO FEEL PRETTY AWKWARD COZ OF ITS TINY BODY FRAME. BUT ALL IN ALL ITS A GREAT & AFFORDABLE COMBO FOR THOSE HUNTING FOR A 350CC CRUISERS, IF YOU REALLY ARE SPELL STRUCK BUY ITS BEAUTY AND EXHAUST SOUND WELL I DON'T REALLY HAVE TOO MUCH OF A REASONING TO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BIKE TO YOU GUYS. ANNNND YEAH, I GUESS THAT'S IT. HAPPY BIKING AND HOPE YOU DO FIND MY ESSAY USEFUL. THANK YOU ❤️❤️.

Honda CB 350 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍 Sabse badhiya hai

Honda engine is good but their service quality is third class.......
