Honda H’ness CB350 Road Test Review | Here’s What NOBODY Has Told You So Far | Royal Enfield Killer?

Honda has decided to take Royal Enfield head on with the launch of the new H’ness CB350. This modern classic motorcycle seems to be aimed squarely at RE’s Meteor 350 and Classic 350, and appears to have both those bikes beaten on paper. So, does it translate into the real world? We find out by putting the H’ness through a comprehensive road test, and the learnings are SURPRISING! Check out our video to find out what nobody has told you about this bike so far.

Welcome to zigwheels. I haven't seen you earlier but wonderful, no nonsense, no jazz straightforward review. Impressive.

[@spencerst.dennis1339]

No jazz? Honestly that’s why I didn’t like it. Personally I like a little jazz fusion, maybe even a little acid jazz.

[@prateeksingh2007]

Who needs bluetooth headset when you have that sweet sounding exhaust note on the highness.

[@MrLanmx]

The reviewer doesn’t even shed a sweat. No swag, no accent shit, no silly acting...just spot on English and no jerks. I mean... would it be exaggerating to say that he could 2021’s best 2 wheeler reviewer? Well that remains my opinion. Well done buddy, keep the show going. We want more!

I have no words, sir. All I can say is thank you! 😁 🙏🏻

I had bought one in October 2022, almost one year after this review.... It's completely amazing. I'm 6'2 and the ergonomics are prefect

[@Fettlewithsunnyvlogs]

[@sambhur9985]

A classic review. And finally, a presenter who combines fluency, clarity, and elan. You could watch the review not just for the features of the bike but also for the pleasure of listening to someone who knows what he's doing.

[@sayyamgaur117]

This review is like a manual guide to the highness. One can buy this machine even without riding it based on your review. Amazing work! Big like!

[@HR-eb4vs]

@@majoralandutchschaefer8642 I fell in love with my ktm duke 390 when Sagar did that wheelie, that review convinced me, to this day I think it's one of the best bike review, okay I'm a little biased. Hate to see PowerDrift loosing their shine, only watching them because of schumi and Rohan.

[@MrDeepaich]

Thank You Zigwheels for the no nonsense, professional review with balanced pros & cons of the bike. The delivery is too good, very impressive and smooth without repetitions. And actually i became a owner and patron of Honda H'ness after this review. Before i was in two minds to be the owner of a Meteor/ Himalayan or H'ness. However few more cons of H'ness is the no provision of mud flaps, as the front mud guard is shorter than those of classic 350 RE, which is making the riding dirty.

[@harikrishna6715]

Mud guard cheaper u can fix it

[@elvinvalentin2848]

Looking to purchase my 1st bike and I came across this Honda. Wow, I love it. It seems perfect for me and that retro look is spot on and just my style. I live in New York though and so unfortunately I won't be able to get my hands on one. But if honda ever decides to bring them to the US, I'm so gonna buy one. NIce channel by the way. love the reviews very tastefully done. respect.

[@brianworden7022]

Same, like if they import them to the US I would get one.. if not always a CB for the 70s. Like vintage Honda's motorcycles are pretty reliable. Ride around on a 52 year old 72cc Honda Super Cub which is nice way to get around town.

[@siddhu8517]

I just bought the bike, and definately these are the facts nobody talked about. So thanks for making this video, it is really reassuring.

[@pavanmythreya3466]

How's the bike? After 1 month Did you like it?

[@jayaprakashr5451]

Excellent video.. As mentioned it's not a comparison to RE Meteor. It's much more modern, refined & well balanced bike. I did drive Meteor for about 20 kms & it did not impress me at all as much as it did on a CB 350. Good review & true to the core..

[@Orange_390]

Finally someone said it, it's NOT a rival to RE Meteor. In terms of pricing tho, it is

[@balajiiyengar4]

People or vlogger who feel it's a rival or competition for RE are pure ass themselves

[@narenkv74]

Then why did Honda make an attempt to steal the beats 😛.

[@Dark_King619]

Two reasons I can't buy it.... 1. No Big Wing Dealership in my City. 2. Don't have enough money... ;)....

[@HighwayToHill]

Honda has a target of around 250-300 Big Wing dealerships in the next 2 years. You can save up until a showroom and service center comes up in your city. Cheers!

I saw a Highness on yesterday. I was surprised by the soundtrack this one throws out. It does have a very nice thump.

Same. Just saw one pass by in Chennai and the sound is just fab. Chased it for sometime just to hear the engine. Also, it looks superb in flesh. Decided to go for a test drive this weekend.

I went to Honda showroom and took a test drive. Have decided to put my money down on this one. Mighty impressed by it.

If you are not a speed freak and enjoy riding between 80 ~ 100 kmph, go for it. All my rides so far have been around 300 kms up and down and I wasn't tired at the end of the trip.

[@Rustomhavewalla]

Excellent video. At first I did not like you because of your hair style, but, I later realized that you are a man of substance and knowledge. You have explained a lot about the bike. What I did not understand was your comment on rear traction and front damping. I was disappointed on finding that this bike had a stroke longer than its bore. I haven't had a chance of taking a test drive, so I cannot comment. The sound from the silencers should have been heavier as this bike is 350 cc. The sound is more like a tin sound maybe because of thin material used in the silencer. The sound given by my TVS Ntorq is much richer. I must thank you for making such an excellent HONEST video.

I owned a Honda cb350 twin in the early 1970s and it would leave this 350 in the dust in terms of acceleration, going from zero to 60 mph (100 mph) in half the time of the 350 H’ness, and reach a claimed top speed of 110 mph versus 80 mph with the H’ness.. But maybe the H’ness is more fun to ride, with a less peaky power band.
