An Unforgettable Experience on a Honda GB350 In Kyoto Japan

[@LowQualityPigeon]

I own this bike and i have done 53000 km on it now. Been to Himalayas and highest motorable road in the world in Umling La on this bike. Its just built like a tank and still looks gorgeous af. Love this bike and it resembles very closely to CB1100 too. I got the same paint scheme as cb1100 rs black with grey stripes.

[@touringrat]

Thanks for the review! I have Gb350s here in Tokyo and cruised around the south alps, both coastlines and tons of city touring. 15 000km cruising and zero problems with it!

[@ashyknob]

FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for this. I’m so glad you’re reviewing the GB350S (CB350RS). I currently ride the H’ness CB350 (GB350) and would love for viewers around the world to take a look at Honda’s new array of its 350cc models and you’ve made that happened! I hope you’ve tried out the GB350 & GB350C (CB350) whilst you’re at it in Japan. Not a speed demon these machines but a proper cruiser for sure. More torque and horsepower than the Royal Enfield’s array of 350cc models and a definite thumping bopbopbop sound too for sure. I love RE but Honda’s engine reliability and refinery beats RE overall in specifications and smoothness etc. However, an RE is an RE, the bike’s character is still unbeatable.

[@f19ash]

I must say your presentation skills have come an awful long way since the early days of the channel and they are really professional now. They may even have surpassed the old man! Really enjoying these Japan vlogs and seeing their motorcycle culture.

[@ElToaleo]

I have the Australian version of the GB350 and have done 5k km on it. It is great: lots of thumpy character without any vibrations. Only thing is that it can struggle with steep hills and overtaking. I hear they are not Euro 5 compliant which is why they are only available in a few countries. They are very well made and I like the seating position and the heel-toe shifter.

[@1990-t1j]

I quite like the X350 and X500. I am thoroughly enjoying these Japan videos, having lived there as I told you in my comments last video. The GB350 is a good little bike. The Kawasaki Estrella 250 has been in the Asian market since 1992. I had a Suzuki DR250SH in Tokyo. When I was over there the GBP was worth 250 yen. In 1992, I bought a new Honda XRV750 Africa Twin RD04 for 3,000 GBP when they were over 5,300 GBP in England. Great video. Nick

[@haxan6663]

I think that Honda would sell loads of the 350s if they brought them to the UK. I would definitely be tempted. I am a lot older than you and so have seen loads of Intruders. 600s, 800s and 1400s were all sold in the UK. Loving the content so far. Japan is on my bucket list.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes Honda should bring them to the UK. Pleased you are enjoying Japan, yes it is definitely worth visiting 👍🏼

[@PahaLukki]

This Honda 350, depending on throttle feel and other details, would honestly outsell the Hunter 350 etc. because people want a Honda engine. But it could be, that the engine is not up to euro 5 spec..

I could see the gb350 definitely being quite desirable in the uk, I imagine a lot of people on the fence who are wanting a RE 350 would probably just go to the Honda on the name alone

[@nirmaljustin2530]

The cb350rs is definitely a better motorcycle than the hunter 350. It's extremely more reliable and refined. The hunter tho has more character and a better 2nd gear

[@GiuseppePeres]

The main problem with RE 350 bikes is that service intervals are too short... 5000 km is hideous. I guess Honda kept the usual 12000 km as on all other models in their lineup.

[@Maxster197]

Man, the Japanese always knew how to make motorcycles..... as for this one in particular, it's been my dream everyday bike, since the first time i saw it! Why haven't we started importing these in Europe is beyond me. They should have been on the market like.... last year. Anyway.... looking forward to the review!

[@Amory98]

I'd be happy to sell mine if you're willing to import it haha. Mine is the same bike, but in red. I'm selling because the local dealership just closed and it gets quite the hassle to ride it to the dealership in the next city every damn time. Apart from that the bike is pristine, regularly serviced and tuned, I have the service records and we'll maintained. It has only done 6000 kms on the odo so it's basically new. Let me know if you're willing haha.

[@luddite6239]

Since you liked the GB350, when you're back in the UK, try to seek out a Honda XBR500. It's from the late 80s and was Honda's take on a modern big single roadster. Even rarer (Japan and USA only) was the GB500TT, which was basically the same bike but dressed up as a Velocette (perhaps the first of the retros?) Google a photo if you've never seen one - I think it's definitely your style.

[@ianhalliwell8604]

One of my very first bikes was an XBR500, marketed as a GoldStar without the leeks. A fabulous little bike, loved it.

[@IanSixbikes-by6ei]

Great to see you experiencing Japanese culture , it is both unique and fascinating at the same time, as for the Honda 350 , it's plain Jane looks didn't do it any favours (although it was better looking than the small Harley's) however I am sure it would sell well if it was imported in to the UK.

[@chrisweeks6973]

My daughter has a Suzuki VL250 Intruder here in Oz; I bought one too, to make things easier whilst she was learning to ride, as local laws require a fully-licenced shadow rider to accompany the learner. Nice little bike for what it is, though I definitely prefer my Guzzi!

7:20 That Harley wasnt sold in India but in China. Its just a rebadged benelli /QJMotor bike. The Indian one is X440, a 440cc air cooled long stroke bike made from ground up which is the most authentic attempt at making a single cylinder Harley so far, even Harley's own bike like Street 750 feel less like Harley then the x440. It's 440cc because that's half of their old 880cc sportster. That bike so far is India exclusive.

spotted one of those hondas when i was out the other day. interesting bike, and an interesting sound. I own a classic 350, so comparably similar. I’d say the Classica styling is far better, but I can see the market that the Honda is aimed at. Might work well for someone who wants the profile of the classic but the styling of something more modern and sleek. Opposed to the classics robust, intricate, and sophisticated feel.

@@ChancellorBeeHaw I think the Honda 350 is retro...similar to the Hondas of the late 60s and 70s, whereas the RE Classic is 1950s and early 60s in appearance. I just watched a video of the 1959 BSA A7 Shooting Star and it looks really similar to the Classic. I live in Taiwan and was really interested in buying an RE Classic, but RE is not available here and the Honda 350 is. So my decision was made for me! I've got a brand new Honda Highness 350 (made in India) on order and am impatiently waiting delivery. Have a great day!

Small correction: the X350 and X500 are actually Harley's collaboration with QJ Motors from China, which is not sold in India. Harley's exclusively Indian endeavour is with Hero MotoCorp, and is called the X440 - a long stroke, air and oil cooled single, which is closer to the Enfield 500s.
