Honda CB 350 H'ness First Ride Review: It's Not Perfect, But Comes Very Close

Finally, after booking the Honda Highness CB 350 or as Honda calls it, the H’ness CB 350 (Stupid name, yes), I finally took delivery of the bike today. Mind you, don’t be misled into thinking this is my motorcycle - this is my uncle’s motorcycle and will be used by him to commute to work five days a week.
However, I will be keeping this motorcycle with me for a week and understanding what the fuss is all about. Is it really a Royal Enfield Classic 350 killer? We shall find out soon enough.
I plan to do a proper review of this motorcycle, check its fuel efficiency, suspension, ergonomics, pillion comfort, how it is to ride two-up etc etc.
So, tune in and wait for more.
If you’d like to know more about me or about my motorcycles, you can check out my Instagram page here: / abhinavbhatt19
Have a nice day.
Cheers

Hi, Could you please share your genuine review about this bike? In terms of economy, comfort, Maintenance cost, etc. How much do you spend monthly on this bike?

[@bigfootgaming2629]

Mee too Mee too me too 😂😂

[@TheSidgame]

@@ViditKothari It's a good bike to have for city ride and occasional trips. It requires little bit attention about lubrication periodically. Feels good power while riding. Less fatigue for long time. Good for off-road but just need little bit care. Maintenance cost is bit more than Meteor but really worth it. Suspension are bit stiff which are good for off-road but not good for speed breaker so you need to shift gears in between at beginning, later you will learn to do it on second or even on third gear. I get average of 36.

Hey Guys, I just test ride CB 350, only few distance. Today. 1) Bike is really really lightweight as compared to 350cc. I felt like riding my previous Yamaha 150cc bike. 2) Pick up is just awesome, bike pulls very easily. 3) Excellent maneuverability, Handle is light you do not feel weight. 4) Gear position is different from Thunderbird so it took sometime to find gear twice. But I never ride any other bike in last five years other than Thunderbird so I had little problem. I can get use to it., will need practice. :) 5) I only went up to 60-70 kmph , there were no vibrations. But I would say one could easily ride this bike in city as well as highway. Incidentally I found one guy riding CB 350 on the way to Honda showroom and I stopped him in between. He took delivery yesterday only and he was also happy, bike is smooth and said there are no vibrations.

If u buy a Motorcycle from a BigWing, you will have to service from it's service centre only. That's a monopoly. So, if I buy ir from Kolkata BigWing and later don't find their service satisfactory, I will have no choice. This is a big big set back.

Abhinav, I agree with you on soooo many points. 1. Big wings need sale, I understand. But to get into RE’s market share, Honda needs to increase the availability of this amazing machine. 2. I was a bit dubious about the thump, but after this review, damn I like it. It’s actually there. 3. When I was watching during the initial minutes, I was thinking what I would have named it, because the highness name truly doesn’t fit. Especially, with the apostrophe. However, I’m not sure about the CB350 either, because they already had a classic model called CB350 with twin exhaust. Probably a 2-stroke. I’m not very sure though. 4. The badging feels a little out of place given that massive Honda branding on the tank, in that classic font. I would have liked something written in that particular font for the badging as well. 5. The design is definitely for a mature audience. I love it. That protruding tail lamp from the side profile, that tank dimension, the handlebars, seats - they just seamlessly fit in unison. Speaks perfection. That being said, I like the colour of the pro models better than the ones in the standard ones. Pure Japanese classic! Not everyone can appreciate it. Certainly, not the lot who like Hero Xtreme 160R! 6. The speedo dial is a miss for me though. Had there been twin dials like the RE’s 650s, that would’ve been a cherry on top. Coming to the ‘make a request’, please upload one video with just pure sound of the engine. I don’t know if that’s too much to ask for. Please do, if possible. Possibly on a highway. 😍 Thanks mate!

I currently have a 650 Vulcan S and Love it, but it's not a "City bike" by any means. Great review I have come to appreciate your reviews as real-life riding experiences. I live in the Philippines and we have the complete opposite comparisons when it comes to Honda dealers VS. Royal Enfield. there are only a few RE dealers here but fortunately, we have both right here in my city.

[@abhinavbhatt]

Thanks bro

[@sriramarajupenmatsa2125]

It's brutally frank review, unlike auto magazine reviews where final verdict is always 'cat on the wall'.

[@sonofdragon81]

Now this is what I call a real world first impressions video. No nonsense. No unnecessary screams of ecstacy. "This is where the bike will spend most of it's time; in traffic", very well said sir. Also, you went, got the bike and started riding without a clue about the specifications.. hahahahaaaa. That was gutsy brother 🤣 Nicely done video Abhinav. Thanks for sharing.

[@abhinavbhatt]

Thank you.

[@sonofdragon81]

@@abhinavbhatt Hi Abhinav. Question: Any issues with electrical components and do the brake pads require replacing frequently? Reason I ask, is because, I've seen a couple of ownership reviews on youtube where they were pointing these out. One guy said he had to change the brake pads 4 times within a year. Yes, he did use the bike for a lot of long drives

[@anym-san]

Tho m not suppose to answer here but Normally it depends on the usage... And it's kinda normal to check the brake pads once in 50k kms... If some people are using this bike for long tours very frequently... It's a possibility...

[@sonofdragon81]

As usual, always a bliss to watch your videos, full of information and clarity in content. And this video seemed to be so natural, as if a kid has been handed over a new toy and he is extremely excited to explore it. Amongst the first to review Interceptor, and amongst the first to review this. Great video brother

[@abhinavbhatt]

Thanks bro.

[@monishkumardurairaj3038]

Bro ...do a review of it in bumper to bumper traffic...how it feels heating,heavy etc.....because this is a bike which is gonna spend in those city conditions daily...and a great thumbs up for your review man loving your way of accent...👍👍

Type-c is just future proofing bro The new iPhones come with type-c to lightning & This will be the norm in a few years I have a samsung s phone which also has type c-c cable....

Yeah bro, nowadays most samsung phones come with c2c cables only .. and its any time available in stores for some bucks .. so not a problem... but it could have been a fast charger

[@rj01_rider22]

Dude i watched your video almost an year ago and u made me buy this bike but i was resisting because of the looks and then i took the test ride of cb 350rs and got the bike 15 days ago....the red cb 350 rs is unbeatable in its price segment...thanks for the detailed videos of honda cb 350

[@tejasmulay4455]

Hi Abhinav, I have watched this review numerous times now, along with all other H'ness videos from you. All are helpful. You have that ability to connect with the audience. Thanks for the videos and the enthusiasm. By the way, I have booked my H'ness and awaiting the RTO registration, which is taking so much of time.

[@abhinavbhatt]

Thank you. And congratulations.

[@ViditKothari]

Hi, Could you please share your genuine review about this bike? In terms of economy, comfort, Maintenance cost, etc. How much do you spend monthly on this bike?

[@akshaykatare5494]

As for someone who own an enfield, I am in love with the motorcycle here. It's got everything my enfield has..and a lot more. It's surely not going to win over the enfield sales numbers but damn.. am I ready to make a switch.

[@investmentcareerdost8140]

Those who press dislike , i think they are RE owner 🤔😀

RE with modified exhausts is creating lots of sound pollution.

[@sidharthsanyal4243]

@Debajit B 🤣

[@Arunav027]

Not every RE owner is a happy owner. If there is 10 things to like in RE there are 50 things to dislike. Many here are looking for RE's character , comfort and not to have those pain in the a** issues it has and honda hness looks promising. But Only way to know is to take a test ride and see if it really has the character.

[@priyadeepsen1187]

Today I rode my Mama's HNess 350, now I feel like I am riding the bike again. The Sound is Bliss 🍀🍀 and when u open the throttle, the KICK is BADASS

I don't know why this bikes excites me as much as when the CBR250 (The official budget touring bike) was launched. Honda is Honda man. Blowing everything out of the water.

[@Cadambank]

The long stroke engine design is too much for 350 cc. Causes issues. You have to redesign like how they freshly designed the 650 cc twin.

[@nirmaljeo1628]

@@Cadambank 350 cc Long stroke engine is good brother. Gives better mileage and low end performance than Short stroke engines. The issues of RE 350 engines was because of the careless old design and low quality materials used to make their engines.
