I Took The Honda Highness CB350 To The Mountains: Here's How She Did

Impromptu plans are the best, aren't they? My buddy Srinivas Ganesh and I planned late last night and just headed to Kanatal in Uttarakhand from Delhi this morning.
Kanatal is about 320-330 km from home and post Rishikesh, just heavenly curves - snaking mountain roads that go on for miles and miles.
This is an overnight trip and we do not have any editing tools, so uploading this clip as is.
I hope you enjoy this video.
Srinivas Ganesh is also starting out his KZbin channel and it is hilarious. Check it out here: / 4cheenu
And you can check out his illustrations on his Instagram (he's a great cartoonist): srinivas_ga...
Thank you so much for giving me your time. I hope you have a great day.
Cheers

You just need a safe and reliable motorbike with a matured riding skill to have fun and explore uncharted territories.😊

[@Amory98]

I love your raw unedited videos. It makes them feel humanised, as in, makes them feel like any one of us might have been there in your place. Of course you're delightfully colloquial, only that your vlogs feel like home, like a ride we perhaps were on with you. Doesn't make them feel beautifully removed with special effects and filters. And your honest perspective and way of thinking are so rooted in heart not superficial. Would be more than glad to accompany you for a ride. I do remember what you said about "like minded" people.

Perfect and honest review. That's a real meaningful statement, we don't need Tigers in India, so costly yet you can't explore it full potential in 99.9% of Indian roads.

@@eldhosepeter6894 It's also almost as quick as a java to 100 and has a similar top speed. I guess there must be some speedo error as that should never happen.

Agree. A parallel twin just like in the cb500 range but with a smaller hidden radiator just like new triumphs to keep old school look. In europeu, 20hp is just not enough because of many fast Cars and open roads.

[@ziasmailbox]

500 will be soon coming. It's unlikely they won't push rebel and all other cbs to India. This one is a test case I suppose. They are just checking the taste buds of Indian customer. If they see profit they'll push other bikes soon. The only drawback with cb 350 is its price a bit higher than RE bullet. Those who have been with honda they obviously trust them. But one who's new to honda he'll obviously think of this price gap of nearly 24k on road.

[@nebinjos9981]

Indian market choose price over quality... Thats why honda doesn't launch many bikes..

[@ziasmailbox]

@@nebinjos9981 but classic 350 is more expensive if you look at its long run maintenance. Parts need to be changed frequently. Even a 10k km run can ruin your front shocker in RE 350. I have seen these cases. Therefore I would say honda is cheaper in long run. In city riding cb is easier to handle. Stock silencer Thump is better than indori of bullet. And to be honest dual channel abs alloy tubeless wheel in RE 350 Comes at 2.15 in Patna on road price. Honda is cheaper than this.
