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.

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]

👍🏻

[@Sktyy1139]

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.

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

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.

Can someone tell me ? Which one is the best RE classic 350 stealth balck or RE Meteor 350 or Honda cb350 hness ? I am confused between these vehicles

One suggestion, go for test ride for all these bikes and have the ride back to back on same day, you will get to know which you feel is better. Performance wise, all bikes are more or less equal. When I test ride these bikes in single day I personally liked Highness more, hence I bought this. And yes, till date I feel happy about my decision, nevertheless all bikes are in some or the other way good, hence choose which you feel for yourself is good..

Many videos say service center guys chain sprocket change karne kehte hai after 3rd service which is expensive. Did u ever have to change it? If yes how much did it cost u? To prevent service center cost wat do u recommend? Also CB 350 parts are not available in local market

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Hello, no I haven’t faced any issue like this yet. At 16k km, I got the chain changed which costed around 1300 Rs. and, have never tried getting any kind of service outside the service center, apart from getting the chain clean and lubed. Moreover, I am not comfortable getting it serviced anywhere else apart from the Bigwing service center.

[@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.

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 👍🏻

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 😊

[@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.

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.

For a city ride in Bangalore with a height of 5 ft 7 inches & lean wt of 65 kgs, which is a better option.. Hunter 350 or highness 350 ? Keeping in mind bumper to bumper traffic in Bangalore?

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Sir, Hunter’s seat height is slightly less than Highness, around 10 mm. Would suggest have a test ride for both bikes back to back on same day. You will be able to find the practical differences. If seat height is manageable, then Highness is better buy considering Bangalore’s traffic. Which means you will be using the clutch more often, and Highness’s clutch is much lighter than Hunter’s!

Brother, Triumph has got amazing power figures. And so far I have seen that in videos only. seems that has got amazing fit n finish, I feel that must be a fun to ride bike. The only thing is, that will offer less mileage than Honda Hness. So, eventually that cost and benefit analysis has to be done. Both the bikes are good in some or the other way.

Bro are you facing wobbling issues and vibration on handle?? And handle getting heavy every month??? If yes whats the solution

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Brother, I am not facing any such problem. Though, I started facing wobbling issue, but when I got it checked it was because of tyre alignment got problem. I got the front tyre changed within warranty period. This issue got resolved.

Please advise Meteor or Highness which is better for me as 52 year old and I want cruiser’s bike

Sir, Meteor will provide more comfort for long rides. Hence, you may consider that because of comfort 👍🏻

Bhai apka thoda help chahiye to select a bike.. please reply.. i did test ride on this bike for around 2km, the seat felt comfortable for me.. are you saying royal enfield is more comfortable than this? Please help me select which one to buy

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Hello brother. This bike is comfortable, however, seat is little hard. I wish slightly more cushion should have been provided RO seat. Regarding RE, you may say that’s Classic has comparatively comfortable seat due to its cushion. Still, I liked Honda more because of many other factors which I have already have already explained it n this video. Below 2 videos will help you have more clarity: Honda Highness vs. RE Classic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jITPeYZud7xpesk Honda Highness CB350 8600 km detailed review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4Somqt4oMt5bNU

I bought my hness 6 months back, now I'm at 7000 reading but getting milage of 31 only. How can improve mileage

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Sir, it depends upon various factors. Like riding in high traffic or low traffic. All you can take care of is that your bike should be on appropriate gear as per speed. Try use engine braking as much as possible. Tyre pressure, chain lubrication is also very important. If you ride till 90 kmph, it should be able to deliver 35+ mileage.

[@_thebelalkhan_]

Cb350 best h ya 350RS ..? Confused hun dono me

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Sir dono equally good hein. The only difference is seating posture. If purpose is long touring then Hness seems better because of its more comfortable seating posture

[@deepakdevra3164]

Very nice review 👌 thankyou

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Thanks ☺️

[@thejasn6209]

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?

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

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

[@gorachandbanerjie6536]

Dear Sir, I understand that this bike's chain neede cleaning & lubing after every 500 km on average. So, do / did you do that on your tours by yourself?

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Sir, during the trip, every 1200-1400 kms, I generally get this lubricated with machine oil (available with local mechanics).

[@sandeepsam84]

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

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

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 ☺️🤞

Nothing 7 days will not matter. If ur worried just disconnect batteries.

7 days is very short time. Nothing will change. I often use this bike even after a gap of 35-40 days. No issues as such. Just ensure you clean the bike remove the dust properly before you ride it.

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

Sir mujhe new bike Lena h confused hu konsa lu please suggest me... Hunter 350, cb 350 or TVs Ronin ? Inme se konsa lu or Main important agar resale kare toh value kiski h jyada? Please 🙏🙏🙏

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Sir for resale value, RE will be best. I don’t think Ronin is a great buy in comparison to these 2 bikes. Hunter and Honda both are good, just go for a test ride for these bikes back to back on same day. As per the test ride experience decide 👍🏻

[@Debabrata277]

Thank you

[@JJBAmegu]

Hello sir, what do you 😢 think about the service cost between RE and honda? Which is actually cheaper because I've seen lots of words about the cheaper service cost in honda highness.

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Brother, I don’t think that Honda’s service is cheaper than RE. Though I don’t have RE bike to compare, still I feel that Honda’s is little expensive considering it’s limited availability of service network and expensive spare parts..

[@bhanuprs]

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.

Hello sir , I had meteor 350 uptill St month which I sold it to cousin brother , I am currently planning to purchase Honda highness 350 deluxe pro chrome variant , but I have some doubt plz try to help me out , I belong to udaipur district of Rajasthan and in my town their is no bigwing showroom , i enquired in the Honda showroom they said they'll arrange the bike but I need to prepay no test drive nothing would be offered, secondly will their be service issues after the purchase as no bigwing showroom in the town , what should I do sir ❤️😔

[@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. So, please evaluate if you are ok to take that hassle 😊.

Royal Enfield service network is very big and cost is also not expensive. and also local mechanics and spare parts available everywhere and it is cheaper and value for money than honda bigwing bikes

[@ghumakkadbhatia]

Agreed, RE has no match in terms of service network. In terms of cost of service no comments. The RE’s service schedule is every 5k km and Honda’s is every 6k km. Hence I feel somewhere down the line both have same maintenance cost more or less.
