Honda CB350 H'ness | How good is it? | Test Ride & Review

Hello!
A British style long-stroke single from Japan designed to take on the Indian legend!
The CB350 was launched to much fanfare and hype and triggered speculation whether this model can break the iron grip that Royal Enfield has on the 350 - 650cc segment.
So, I took this motorcycle out on a 200 km ride on varying terrains to find out, one, how good this motorcycle actually is and two, if it can threaten the dominance of Royal Enfield.
Post the detailed ride, I am not fully convinced that the CB can or needs to be bothered about Royal Enfield. This motorcycle has some great features and performs very well and can attract riders who will love it for what it is.
The engine is refined, smooth and has good top end grunt though it lacks bottom end performance. But, knowing this engine characteristics helps the rider adapt and ride the motorcycle they way it needs to be ridden to extract the best from it. The suspension performance is 5 star and excels in bad roads.
The bottom line is, this is no Royal Enfield. This is a simple, clean, smooth, reliable Honda that goes about its work like a clock. No fuss, no drama.
Hope you like what you see and hear and hope it helps you in making your buying choice. Cheers!
