Honda CB350

[@tauncfester3022]

Just an American observation from someone who owned Honda's first year of their CL350 scrambler. Was at least 34 horsepower at over 10k RPM on a 180 degree twin cylinder bike that weighed about 340 pounds. The willingness of that engine to spin above 8K rpm was what made it so exciting, 2 valves per cylinder, 10.5:1 CR. The horsepower curve plateaued from about 8K to 10K with the flattish torque curve about 2.5K lower so the engine came into 5K rpm and surged even more power. It was a top heavy bike though.

[@vijaybala55]

Any day honda highness . 1. No engine heat. 2. No vibrations even at 100km speed. 3.Super brakes. 4.Pure refined engine. 5.Smooth bass sound. 6.Premium quality. 7.Very good service, you can watch the bike getting service along with employees. 8.Go well on traffic in city. 9. Top speed of 130km. 10.Traction control, slipper clutch. 11.All led lights . 12.Less maintenance than RE. 13. Mileage 40+ on highway 37 on city. 14. Balanced weight , bike feels light. 15. Unique bike on roads, ppl will stare at you and ask bout bike .

I am riding royal Enfield bikes from last 12 years. 8 years with thunder bird and 4 years with Continental gt 535. As expert mentioned Royal Enfield bikes connect to your emotion. But biggest problem with RE is reliability. And vibration in the bike. After each servicing you have to visit service center atleast once to get all your work done. If these two things has been resolved then you can go for it . Otherwise Honda 350 RS is a excellent bike for daily use as per various KZbin moro channels.

Apart from the discussion of which one is more Retro: For daily commute, CB350 seems to be better for its engine refinement, feather light clutch, easy maneuver ability in the city and the premium looks. RE doesn't look premium anymore, as we r used to RE looks for decades and It mostly looks like an uncle's motor cycle rather CB350 looks fresh and younger. Even the meteor looks like a beefed up thunderbird. Nothing new in terms of looks. Atleast this is my opinion.

Big wing showrooms are the biggest let down of honda. I too think it's the nicest looking of the bunch ( I personally feel the old classic(UCE) looked better), but looks are subjective. Couldn't test ride it unfortunately since no showroom in Lucknow. But I understood the "best slowest" reference for the classic, not necessarily wanted or enjoyed by everyone. That relaxed feeling is lacking by far in jawa, which absolutely feels like a modern day bike - a pulsar 200ns on steroids is what I would describe the jawa engine which lacks character.

On what parameters are you comparing the engine. Honda ticks on all four parameters but still its not the best engine according to you. Dont know how you guys are seriously the top bike experts🤷

[@gokulraja652]

feels like an fan service to RE

[@iamgod3224]

Specially to haters like you

[@abhishekmansotra]

there is no doubt that honda is far superior than classic 350 but the classic 350 has vibe to it. It has RE ecosystem, everyone of us has a dream to have RE, no one has the dream to own a Honda

[@RDX-hy8mh]

i did ( Japanese Bikes are the best)

[@veereshsangolliV12]

Man love love LOVED this conversation! The banter is incredible and yet the talks are so informative! The Classic is so good because of its character, the new improvements give the old character a bit of smoothness and more desirable for a newer customer base compared to the old fan base The highness is definitely the best among these, the Honda badge comes with a lot of expectations and it definitely lives upto it and maybe goes beyond that! But the bigwing thing definitely puts people off, honda need it to bring it to tier 2 and 3 cities to even come close to topple the RE The meteor is definitely the most confusing here, I'd prefer the UCE thunderbird all day!! I don't have anything to say about the Jawa and so was the case with the 4 of you so that says a lot 😂 For me the best retro bike is the Interceptor 650 man, BEST ❤️

[@geekygovee]

All hail Highness 🙌. Quality Honda. A retro design is ok, why a retro headlamp still RE? Learn from Highness for headlamp integration to retro look. That's what is called style with substance. No offense to RE fans. Finally a fuel gauge.... When will we see the gear indicator.... That's awesome...

[@shu_mar]

Yuss! Spot on about the headlight. Quality Honda? No. The CB isn’t badly made but it’s no quality Honda

[@RDX-hy8mh]

​@shu_mar tf you talkin bout brother, Honda means quality ( No one can beat Japanese in terms of bike )

[@smarty007shekhar007]

I am a RE rider (previously used thunderbird 350, now using Interceptor 650) but i like the Honda CB350 (very usable bike) perfect bike for indian roads and also refined and flexible engine

[@shashikalashashi7107]

[@God-xe8gg]

Flexible engine? What does it mean

[@kirankumarpatra9625]

My heart stops at 350RS, but only thing that bothers is nearest big wing is 200kms away 😭. Any suggestions?

[@SasankDandumenu]

Why would someone need a comparison with a Honda? People who buy a Honda never worry for a service cost, never feel the age of the bike. Until you follow the service intervals, you never need to think of anything with a Honda! All these automobile channels are trying to mislead customers to buy a Royal Enfield. It’s very wrong! In a retro segment, it’s completely the choice of the rider. If u want style and peace- Cb350 , If u want a retro branding- Jawa, If u are a show off piece- Royal Enfield. After seeing every guy who don’t even know his need buying a Royal Enfield, I think the Royal Enfield brand image became a middle class brand. Rather than a luxury which it was in the past!

[@vaibhavhalgekar914]

Brilliant... Two fantastic videos in 1 day... Wow... Great going pd... All my fav people in one discussion room.. can hear them for a long time.... Cheers 🙏

[@arbajali9226]

Jawa be like: Hume bhi to le lo! One thing in favour of Jawa though, they do things subtle. Not too extravaganza, neither too bad. It's just "fine" in every aspect. Like Rahul Dravid, the long runner. Doesn't hit 6 sixes, a consistent innings is what it is.

[@vinaypatidar5901]

Just felt. These guys having nostalgic feeling with classic 350. Didn't understand how classic 350 is more comfortable than re meteor or jawa.

[@arunavachanda2834]

Feels like RE has invested a lot of money on them..And my pulsar 150 even does that, sticking on to top gear and cruising @ 40kmph🙄...

[@katadel2629]

Sir,RE is still overweight with 195kerb weight...the weight could be slightly reduced.And the overall shapes and dimensions aren’t impressive still,which could be a bit compact with liquid cooling maybe...

[@maharshi7518]

Didn't think this would drop this faaast., My pick is CB 350 RS.

Does it have modern style valves or tappets?

Overhead cam with chain drive compared to old hydraulic driven

Can't take my eyes of Shumi Sir... The way he talks shows his Passion and devotion towards automobile industry....❤️

[@dhirajkaile]

I see a lot of hate for you guys in the comments and I for one had already booked my choice before I came across this video. But after careful research and feedback and in depth evaluation, I booked a Classic 350 Chrome Red, the last of the timeless Classics in thoroughly modern undertones, as the replacement for my 19 years old Karizma, to work as a city runaround. For the highways, I already own much bigger 250~350kg machines. You got this review spot on so don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

[@venukrithish007]

I enjoyed this video a lot. Has been while since I enjoyed an automotive video so much

[@polemical100]

Haven't test ridden the enfields yet .. but the Honda was such a pleasant surprise.. just falls so easily right into place with a lovely soundtrack.

[@akashbhadouria6727]

Worst chutia bike ever did mistake after I bought this garbage CB350

[@BecauseOshoSaidSo]

Unfair with Honda..but I know y they do surrogate advertising for RE..

You've hit the nail on it's head

When is Benelli302s coming to India. Pls help on this, waiting for very long time. Else wil pick Honda as my height is just 5.4.

Oh yes! More coming up! We hope you have turned on the notifications!

Thanks SN!

[@greetingsman]

This should've been longer..say 30mins..3 awesome bike people discussing bikes(and also Rohan)..it should've simply been a discussion video..on whichever bike they felt like talking..like a group of friends simply discussing bikes..and the bike brands decisions and rumours in the market and everything in between them.. this video was so much fun..i could've watched them talking for hours without a break..

[@shu_mar]

It was 45 min! We had to cut it down

[@ashleydsilva9284]

no specs, pure feeling! i never thought this would be this good!!

[@kranthimo1]

Honda is the best. Nothing comes near to it. I have been using Honda HNess from past 3 months. Commute in the city, long drives (200+ km rides). There is no bike which is even close to the smoothness and ride quality.

[@vigneshkudtarkar7384]

Cb 350 sounds much better than next generation classic

[@sanjubaba4710]

Just install the old bullet bend pipe and mini punjab silencer, problem solved 😉

[@productunboxing6465]

i would be fully satisfied and happy the day India will launch cool cafe racer bikes at low cost price affordable range for middle class guy.

[@Mrweirdomanable]

Yes Honda is the superior bike on many fronts, except one crucial one: AVAILABILITY.

[@secondopinion89]

I've just uploaded my ownership review of the RS on my channel. Loved this mega comparison 👏

[@harryl69]

Honda's 2022 CB500 series updates announced. So Mr. Shumi what's your thought about it?

[@shu_mar]

None yet! Let them come to our shores first

[@Raage.]

Thank you so much for making this comparison. I've been searching for my first new bike for a long time and power drift has helped me out a lot. Thank you powerdrift.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Glad we could help you Wilhelm! Though, what's your pick?

[@Raage.]

@@powerdriftofficial I'm stuck between the new classic and the 350rs when it comes to the "retro" segment. I'll have to test drive them before I narrow it down though.

as shumi sir said ride. it and listen to your heart bro... all the very best with u new motorcycle
