Thanks for your excellent review.i've also purchased this bike anniversary ed.last january '23 and i've run it appx.9000km.it's very nice.ive gone through highway as well as off-road, never face any difficulties though i'm 60years.

[@debaduttadash7509]

@@ravishankarrs8018 I am not such a big expert to advise Sir, but yes at nearing 50 and 5.6 ft, i felt it a better suited for me, as my riding style is mostly Sporty. I loved my old CBR 250r more than Kawa Vulcan 650. The only concern may be for you is your height. U need to take a thorough Test Ride, and mostly that u ll not get from BigWing. If you are on any Metro City, then perhaps you can try hiring a CB350 Rs and once CB Highness for may be a day and find the comfort and which one suits you best 🙂. A 100 kms drive through highway, city traffic, a little bit bumpy roads should give you a fare idea. Might be worth concentrating your leg position while sitting, for long rides, back pain if any, and especially for RS may be any numbness on your right Palm and/or Thumb.

I too thought this does have tall gearing for the city. But now i made changes to my driving style, and is able to harness it. Its a good bike for sure

Yeah, indeed it’s a good bike. Tall gearing leads to changing gears more often, however, the clutch and gear shifting is smooth hence these things compensate👍🏻

Today I took it on Bangalore s nice road. At 4th gear we can do 80 speed without bad vibs. Only good vibs. Also took off road in Bannerghatta forest area... Man this bike can easily take some off-road smoothly. End of it, it returned 36/37.

Sir, aap ek baar Honda CB350 (Recently launched), isski test ride lo. This is very comfortable as compared to Highness or RS. Apart from that in Royal Enfield, Meteor definitely offers good comfort.

Honda CB350 | Ghumakkad Bhatia! #royalenfield kzbin.info/www/bejne/fae3an2anqqjiMU

[@vikasshelke5544]

Honda has programmed 2nd gear for efficiency which makes 2nd gear power delivery week unlike other bikes . Bike on 2nd gear with 40 kmph gives 40 kmpl which is un believable considering 350 cc engine .

Right..

Nice review....problem you have faced at high altitude climb in kaza to komic is mainly due to tall gearing of this bike . I have one question...does this bike require constant gear change between 1/2/3 gear while climbing hill in lower altitude terrain also...like when you will going towards narkanda ....or from karcham dam to sangla

[@user-wi8dx8ry6m]

Check the ECU update....it was present in old CB 350s😊

[@i_am_abhinav]

@@user-wi8dx8ry6m in this video he was not referring to power loss problem of highness at high altitude. He was facing problem that he have to keep his bike in first gear during climbing till 30kmph

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Thanks brother. Actually, yes, we have to switch gears. I mean, while going on mountains, to give sufficient power, we need to use -1 gear. Example, in plane terrain. If we can have good pickup at 3rd gear, then while climbing, we will get pickup at 2nd gear. Though, this thing actually did not make much of difference (atleast for me), just because gear shifting and clutch, both are very smooth.

@@ghumakkadbhatia thanks for th clarification man....ladakh trip this year ?

[@user-xg4ty6yl8g]

Its a cruiser. So perfectly runs at any speed and gear

[@rdsda5953]

I regret giving away my H'ness CB350(Anniv. Edition) to my Uncle, and got CB350 RS for myself. Man, i am convinced now that H'ness is far better than RS. I rode Hness for about 4000 kms and assure everyone that it is next level experience. On other hand, RS has wider rear tyres and sporty look and slight leany posture , but upon offroading in slippery mud, i realise the downside, the tyre just doesn't have any grip. It just slides(sideways) on mud, and not to forget the impracticality like too short fenders and uncomfortable pillion seat. On other hand, Hness having proper highway tyres still manages the same offroad mud with less effort., Plus it is more practical and very comfortable for pillion as well, unlike the RS.

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

👍🏻

[@saikatdas1139]

Bro RS is a looker and honestly it is not for pillions

[@debaduttadash7509]

Try these tires, i believe your experience will be better with RS 350 ... Front : Michelin Scorcher 31 100/90 R19 & For rea r : Pirelli Diablo Rosso II or my Fav Angel GT II and i would prefer upsizing a bit to 160/60 r17. The real problem i felt after 2-3 months of my new CB 350 RS is the low and mid torque delivery of the bike, and it just feels it does not move if u r looking for a sudden overtake .. Hence planning to go with Powertronics and a FulesX addon to see if that helps better power delivery and mileage as well .. Last will be to add a Performance Exhaust :-)

[@raghavendranaik259]

Bro i have total reverse experience on RS. I have done mainly off-road ing on my RS and honestly it did very well even in comparison to ktm adv 390 during that trip. I have rode my RS in jungle trails and in river and it just cruises in any terrain smoothly. Plus a lot of jumpings too I have done on it. Although I swapped the stock handle bar to a high rise RD 350 handle bar which has made my city, highway commutes and off-road look very simple.

[@susantajana9966]

Thanks for the information... Sir, long trip (ladakh, spiti) if there is a problem with bike, then how can I manage it? Because service centre is very less. Please share your opinion....

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Sir, there is RSA (Road side assistance), however I have not yet faced any issue in which had to use RSA. Apart from that in case of any emergency situation we will have to take help from local mechanic, apart from that we may seek help from RE service Center as well. Just carry few spares like clutch wire, break wire, chain sprocket, spark plug etc.

[@aakashbabar4005]

Honda Highness any time

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Hi, thanks for appreciating the video. Personally I found Highness more appropriate because its maneuverability is easy as compared to Meteor.

[@bhargavbaruah1013]

Except servicing cost, everything is fantastic with Honda Highness 350. In my first servicing I paid around 2800/- and in second servicing I paid 8000/-. And I ride in Delhi only.

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Sir, this is unbelievable. What parts got changed? In my case, I have got the Chain and Brake pads replaced after 16,000 kms. Apart from that, only normal service is sufficient. Normal free service ranges from 2000-2200 Rs.

[@chiragshirodkar1647]

Bhai, if you could tell me about the mud splash on the ridwe wet roads and brakepad issue(frequent replacement needed?)

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Bhai, mud splash installed from Honda service center itself. Brake pads, I got changed at 16k kms. People get it changed at 5k, 10k etc. Hence, brake pads wear and tear most likely depends upon everyone’s riding style.

[@satyammalhotra6503]

Thanks Sumit for sharing your honest feedback. I have one small query, I am planning to purchase a bike. My height is 6'3 Inches, weight is 104 kgs. I took a test drive of highness 350 & CB 350. I enjoyed both of them but according to my weight I think CB350 would be a great option for me bcz it is more muscular than highness but the issue is I didn't liked CB350 thump sound whereas highness thump is superb. Could you please advise or guide me

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Hello brother, actually you have asked a very tough question 😊 because both the bikes are same, just minimal changes. I try to simplify, RS is bit sporty, has a little aggressive seating posture and a broad rear tyre, which gives more confidence while manoeuvring especially at higher speeds. On the other hand, Highness has bit straight and comfortable seating posture which you can manoeuvre at high speeds but still RS has an edge in this aspect. However, Highness would be better for long rides, moreover has wider and bigger pillion seat. Since, I was clear that I love to ride for very long durations hence, I chose Highness. If, riding at higher speed was my first priority, then I would have gone for RS 😊 Hence, make your decision as per your utility. Hope, it helps. Still in case of any doubt, never hesitate in connecting with me 👍🏻

[@mrinaldogra]

I am 6 ft tall guy. 1 year 9k driving hness 350. I will recommend hness 350.

Speed 400 is short stroke.. engine sound and performance is different.. also will give much less mileage than cb350 If you're okay cruising on the highways at around 100 kmph cb350 won't disappoint

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Agreed, we have to change the gears comparatively more often. Still it doesn’t bother much because clutch and gear shift is smooth. Though, have seen few videos for Triumph, looks very promising.

Hello brother, triumph, I have no idea about. As compared to RE, I feel CB350 is better in many aspects. Engine refinement, pick-up, smooth gear shifting, light clutch, better mileage. RE is better in terms of service network, which may help in little less maintenance cost. Still in terms of overall quality, I feel Honda is better. Moreover, Highness is more comfortable than RS. So, is the purpose is to use it for long rides then Highness. Else you may choose RS

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Hello brother, if there is no Bigwing in Udaipur, then how far it is from your place? I believe if this is in range of 1 to 1.5 hours or may be within 2 hrs range. Then it is manageable because service schedule is every 6,000 km. So aapko bahut regular visit ni karna parhega. Lekin agar uss se bhi zyada dur hai, then I feel that will be little hassle.

Hi.... Thanks for the view.... can you tell if it is having Break pad issue and have you got changed it in 12K Kms. Since in some of the videos it is said that its break pads gets tear off very soon in 5K - 6 K Kms also comment on chain set as well

Hello, 12k km service was normal service for my bike. No brake pad or chain related issues found. May be depending upon everyone’s riding style, till now everything is fine for my bike ☺️🤞

Sir highness n triumph 400 x scarmbler konsi lena chaiye

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Sir, depends upon purpose. Triumph will deliver high speed, more power. Moreover, Triumph is considered as more premium brand. However, the seating posture on Triumph is more aggressive, which would be comparatively less comfortable vs. Honda. Due to powerful engine, mileage will be less around 15%. So, if your purpose is long touring, then Honda might make more sense, as it will be more comfortable and deliver better mileage. If purpose is to have more fun to ride, more thrill because of high pickup and power, then Triumph 😊

Thanks sir but triumph scrambler is comfortable na sir

[@srinathvegulla56]

Can u please clarify my confusion between CB350 & RE meteor 350 ? Which one has better comfort for back posture & knee support on long drives? Which one is better in handling? Took test drives of both bikes I’m 35 M Any experience raiders pls clear my doubt. This will be my first bike

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Sir, seating posture is absolute personal choice. Though I feel that meteor has much wider and comfortable seat, still I bought CB350 because in meteor our legs are stretched towards front a bit, due to which I was not finding it suitable for me to manoeuvre (again, extremely personal choice). I found CB350 better in following points: better pickup, engine refinement, light clutch, better sound, smooth gear shifting. Meteor is better in following points: gearing ratio is good, u need not to change gear very frequently. Service network is far better than Honda. Availability of spares in after market is also better. Hence, both the bikes have their own pros and cons, I bought Honda because it was appealing me more.

Bro.. I m confused between classic and cb350. Since you rode both, which has better comfortable suspensions.. Been hearing cb350 is hard par mujhe test ride mein itna feel nahin hua

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

While my test ride I also felt that Highness shockers are hard. It has 5 step settings from hard to soft. And moreover while in my Spiti trip, I realised that these are appropriate as the balance is maintained well while on bad roads. Hence, my take is shockers are neither hard nor soft. Apart from that, the video below will let u know my opinion about Classic vs Highness: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jITPeYZud7xpesk

Hello brother. This bike is comfortable, however, seat is little hard. I wish slightly more cushion should have been provided RO seat.

Bro you faced any wobling issue with the front tire? Every one pointing out this issue when they raise the speed over 70 kmph

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Brother, no wobbling in following conditions. If you are riding alone. If you are riding with pillion & if you are riding with luggage on pillion seat. However, there is wobbling in below conditions. If you have extended any carrier behind the bike and you are using a top box. Science behind this is, as you put weight on that carrier, it affects the center of gravity of bike, hence it wobbles at certain speed (depends how much weight that top box has).

Hi. I bought this bike and completed first service recently. I tried cruising at 80-90kmph on 5th gear. On perfectly flat roads, it is ok. But even a slight upward road, speed drops quickly even if i give accelerator. Is this just my issue or is it common? Any solution?

This is common brother. If you want to accelerate, then you need to switch back to 4th gear. At 5th gear, it gets some acceleration only when you cross 95-100

I personally Prefer the branding of ROYAL ENFIELD.... IF there is any Major advantage of buying honda over RE.... then I'll go for honda....as you have used bikes of both the brands so help me out.... Or is there a specific RE among the four (hunter, Classic , Meteor, new bullet)....

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Honda’s advantages: Better pickup, smoother engine, better manoeuvreability, super light clutch, smoother gear shifting and great exhaust sound. RE’s advantage: better brand value, great service network, better quality of seats, as found Honda’s seats a bit hard. Service cost might be little low as compared to Honda and also the availability of spares is better. As per me, if someone is able to manage Honda’s service network issue, then as a bike Honda is better, else RE is evergreen.

Sir, brake pads change at 800 km is unbelievable. I have done 12000 kms, still no brake pads change required 🤞. Would suggest, before every single ride, clean the disk with a mildly wet cloth, so that it removes the dust from there and it will help increasing brake’s life. Regarding chain, there is no sound, and in case it is making sound, then instead of spray lubrication, just try to get this lubricated by a local mechanic through that old school machine oil.
