when you see a Indian motorcycle competing and doing better than the mighty Japanese.. you know Japan is done :( sad reality. btw, both are made in India and exported to Japan!

[@ridewithwarro]

this is the japanese built version of the bike. it may or may not be be assemble any better than the indian hiness version. unable to compare. probably costs more.....lol

[@OOOUZ]

Japanese version color ways looks far better than Indian version.. but, i am sure both versions are actually manufactured in India :)@@ridewithwarro

[@ridewithwarro]

@@OOOUZ so i rang honda australia to sort this out and it appears you are wrong. i was told if my serial number started with a "J" the bike was made or put together in JAPAN in my case its a "J"

Good stuff, the one thing I dislike about the Honda is the useless short front mudguard. WE get a lot of rain in Scotland.

[@ridewithwarro]

never took any notice of that. i will check it out tomorrow

[@Deepingpaul71]

I have the classic with a bash plate fitted, no matter what state of the Lincolnshire roads the engine never seems to get dirty.

[@ridewithwarro]

yeah i have one in stock and i think shortly i might get around to fitting it. nice bike

[@stevesane800]

Thanks for the comparison Warro🤙 I actually like the Matte Blue colour on the Honda. But, the red/chrome of the Classic 350 looks fantastic! Cheers!

[@ridewithwarro]

No problem 👍 unusual colour the honda. in the shade it looks near black in colour. classics always live up to their names...lol

[@timboharty7325]

Why paint a retro style bike in a modern Matt finish paint , 70s bikes that the cb350 harks back to had gorgeous candy /metallic finishes

[@geekylucas]

Warro, thanks for responding to my questions! I really appreciate it. A few follow up thoughts. 1. The Honda web site was showing their accessories briefly this week, but it’s been taken down again. I’ll have to order from somewhere else I think. 2. Yep. Backing off the throttle on a cold engine is exactly what I’m seeing. It still wants to go. All good, I just wanted to see if you had the same experience as me. 3. Thanks for clarification re: stalling/lugging at low speeds. 4. Valves. I don’t think I’ll go anywhere near them until my warranty period is up. Hopefully a bit more info on how to DIY service these things then. 5. Thanks for your thoughts re: Dunlop tyres. 6. Fuel display. The mode which shows “- - -“ is actually a real time fuel usage display. It seems to update every second or so. Thanks again, Warro. Really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.

[@ridewithwarro]

my klm to fuel gauge -------- has never shown any data at all. not so far. just checked again still ---- overall though out of your questions i'd totally avoid running it slow in higher gears as its just not meant to do that. much better to run it at 20 kph in first i think. touchy on the clutch too. i think ive stalled it twice...lol apart from that all good and still petrol in my tank from first fillup all the best!

[@geekylucas]

@@ridewithwarro Warro, that gauge will say “- - -“ if your bike is stationary. Take it out on the road and it will stay displaying some numbers when you’re on the move with the throttle open.

[@ridewithwarro]

@@geekylucas i will try that move out tomorrow. ive just been on mainly my trip b mod which i reset when i filled the tank up. hard to say end results as ive been mainly doing outright road riding

[@trevorwilliams195]

Thanks for the side by side mate..it's amazing that we can now compare an Enfield to a honda..great to see how far Enfield has come..thanks again for the vid

[@ridewithwarro]

No problem 👍 what im finding is the classic has good torque in all gears and the honda has to be ridden harder to extract the power.

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

Honda is totally over rated .At this point Enfield is just as if not more reliable. I never rode a Honda as good or reliable as my Interceptor.

Thanks for this latest comparo Warro. I have a 1988 GB250. Puts out 30hp via a 6 speed gearbox, RFV head and front hydraulic disc. Goes like a top but you do have to rev it as with most Hondas. Keep up the interesting videos. Thanks again. Ray

[@ridewithwarro]

thanks good to hear you enjoyed it. i think i might have to add a bit more throttle...lol apart from that bike runs well.

[@desmcd1515]

Bought my GB350 in early December. Liked the minimalist classic looks, and figure that it will be bullet proof being a Honda. Done 2000kms and very happy with it. Done a couple of rides through the hills in South Gippsland and it handled it nicely. The drive train and brakes have settled in nicely. I don’t have the rattling seat issue.

[@ridewithwarro]

great to hear. i plan to give this one a few good runs in all areas in a few upcoming clips. my fuel economy to date is 43.7 -hows yours holding up. when did go in for the first service. just curious do they have readily available oil filters for them in stock

[@desmcd1515]

It’s showing 42.6, but I reckon actual is probably closer to 40. First service done at 1020kms and no issues with parts. Though I booked in early and gave the dealer 4 weeks notice. The only annoying thing I’ve found about this bike is that every where I stop folks want to stop me and chat about it (actually I don’t mind).

[@desmcd1515]

BTW - we have similar taste. My other bike is a 400cc Piaggio scooter. Great around town and getting to work.

[@ridewithwarro]

@@desmcd1515 either way good mileage to the klm. what did they charge for the first service. if on the enfield it would have been pretty steep $$$ wise as they do a valve check. i actually plan to ride this on quite a bit of dirt. had it on already and it runs well in that area

[@ridewithwarro]

@@desmcd1515 i totally disliked scooter a couple of years back...lol take into account too id never been on one either. then i decided to buy one try it out and in fact i am taking the vespa out later today-because its a great easy ride experience nothing wrong with the scoots...lol

[@shaneritchie9134]

To me the honda tends to look a bit cheep in the fit and finish,the Enfield has a more premium finish.

[@ridewithwarro]

i think its more the matte finish where do that. ive seen indian clips on the hiness/same bike and some great looking colours over there. for example in my clips you often see a mgf sports car. when purchased at 3 years old it was a crappy metallic black i bought it home rubbed it back and re-spray it yello with white stripes prior to paint job it was a plain jane. now if it just goes to the garage for petrol. always someone comes over to ask what it is. colour change did that to a pretty boring car. in my history you see i bought a new xmax300. didnt like the colour. resprayed it glossy blue. check it out. worth looking at

[@daintree2455]

What i like about the Honda is that's a classic Honda shaped fuel tank. Could be sitting on a K2. Thanks Warro.

[@ridewithwarro]

yeah thats one way to look at it.

[@carlarthur4442]

Like the two bikes for different reasons , both very nice machines, but the R E looks really classey . Honda do have a good build quality , i like the concept these days of the single cylinder engines , less to go wrong and simple to fix if anything does go wrong 😉 Nice video, Thank you for the incite .😊

[@findingneutral]

Great new bike review. Similar looks for sure. Looking forward to your long-term thoughts on the GB.

[@ridewithwarro]

Coming soon!

[@grahamhodgson9154]

Hi mate, thanks for uploading this. I’m looking to buy either of these 2 but according to RE’s website the bike you have there is $8790 and the Honda according to Honda Aus. is $7801 for S. Aus. So for me it’s almost $1000 difference in the ride away prices. I rode the Honda and liked it, I’m looking forward to getting time to riding the RE 👍🏼

[@ridewithwarro]

yeah i am county so freight is added to the price. now the classic start at $8000. if you look in my history youll see the halcyon grey i had. there is no difference between any of the models power wise in the classic 350's i also had the signals too. about $300 extra for that one but saying that base colours are fine and look good in green/halcyon grey or black. so it will depend upon what you really want ride experience wise as its expensive to buy and try again the classic is just a feel good bike to ride in all areas. the honda may be the more reliable ride and better on petrol. ive now done 210 klm and its showing 43.7 kpl personally i couldnt care about the petrol side but lots do

[@MrCombfoot]

The honda GB350 is closer to the royal enfield hunter 350 than the classic 350 to be fair, and the Hunter 350 is I think about $500 cheaper than the classic around aus, so maybe have a look at the hunter price rather than the classic. I got my hunter for $7490 in WA.

[@ridewithwarro]

@@MrCombfoot i think riding style the gb350 and classic 350 go well together. i think the hunter is more an agressive style ride. i also think the hunter would on pickup would probably beat the honda too the gb350 would beat the classic though either way when i had my hunter i was impressed with how well it got moving...lol hopefully i can get the red/chrome moving along when i instal the performance cam...lol

that the slightly larger and better padded touring seat

[@borderlands6606]

Only two things I dislike on Enfields, are brown seats and matt paintwork. Honda have managed to incorporate them both. The company have some nice tank designs to plunder from the 1960s and 70s, let's hope they offer more variety going forward.

Good video and an informative assessment. The Honda looks the part and at that price, I would imagine it's well put together. I think it compares directly to the HNTR 350 . I tried the HNTR and for me the ergonomics were horrible. Very uncomfortable. It's a Honda so it'll run and run with generous service intervals. Win win. Thanks

[@ridewithwarro]

yeah i had a hunter 350 and didnt go much on the riding position or suspension. this gb350 is pretty close to a classic 350 seating wise. i ran it 90 klm today and it was fine. only issue one has to work the motor harder. all the best!

I have a 2019 Grom that I'm soon to sell due to loving my Classic 350 reborn. It also has a sports exhaust & sounds great, especially at idle, but moving under load, my RE with a sports exhaust kills it. I was surprised by your love of the Vespa as that's another bike I may own one day. As for the RE vs. Honda, the RE kills it. I looked at a Honda CB300 before getting the RE & it was like 30hp & 148kg. But this Honda still needs a rev & is way heavier & less powerful. The RE is the real deal & it's great Honda are having a go & attracting people that wouldn't trust an RE, but for me I'll stick to my RE which has an led headlight, indicators & aftermarket exhaust. In a few more years, I may try the Vespa!

Hi for the off road which IS better Honda GB 350 or RE 350 classic ?

either bike will do it but id say the gb350 is easier to move about if the country is rough and steep. its a light lighter and more compact.

[@bjroberts6521]

Can you go thru the running modes and dash operation. Also take it up a really steep driveway.

[@ridewithwarro]

will see what i can do

[@jjstuartonwriting8150]

My one complaint with the RE 350 is the tube tires and incandescent lights, though I've heard the 2025 Classics have better lights and a tubeless tire option. My opinion doesn't matter though, as Honda isn't bringing the GB350 to Canada or the USA, so I'm buying the CLassic.

[@ridewithwarro]

The Honda will serve you well, I'll bet it's a good little work horse, it'll handle anything you throw at it.

Yes I walked out vowing never to set foot in the establishment again.

That honda is making me nervous, Warrior. That petrol breakdown is 101 MPG. That is the mileage of a moped. I cannot even imagine that number when the Himalayan is at 68 MPG all day long. That is roughly 33% more efficient. How do they do that.😂 I realize MPL or MPG is based on many factors. I need to see one in person. To sit on it and try to experience the feel. The Gentleman " on two feet" from Arizona did the 1000 mile iron butt on a Himalayan. He sold it and purchased the CRF 300St or sx...the trail model. Apparently easier to ride and throw around. I love Enfield but the other guy is slipping threw the back door.

yeah i dont know how accurate that gauge reads and i think its saying i still have either 300 or 400 more klm in the tank. if i could score 500 klm to a tank that would get me to places and back with no fill ups. feels a bit more compact and lighter than the classic 350 is it a better bike....hard call there but i will have a much better idea when i do longer runs and dirt roading...lol

[@souhailshamaissem7564]

I like the looks of the royal Enfield it looks more retro but if I have to buy one I would buy the Honda because the Japanese motorcycles are the most reliable

[@ridewithwarro]

good to hear you enjoyed the look over the bikes

[@souhailshamaissem7564]

@@ridewithwarro I just bought a bike like yours . I bought a 2023 Honda cb 125F

[@ridewithwarro]

@@souhailshamaissem7564 great. good bike. enjoy the experience

[@souhailshamaissem7564]

@@ridewithwarro it's the smallest I have ever owned but I am surprised it goes pretty good for his small engine size and modest specs. Actually it goes as good as Yamaha scorpio 225cc and Suzuki tu250x which is air cooled and fuel injected as well

[@ridewithwarro]

@@souhailshamaissem7564 yeah i had it in some rough country on a run to the macquiare river. took it well

Honda $5000 Aus here in Malaysia . Royal Enfield $7500.

[@ridewithwarro]

yeah they sort of rip us off here...lol i recall when i had the honda ct125 trails. they were $7800 here and heavily overpriced for 125cc and i think your way about usd$3000 but i think they thought if classic 350 brings aud$8k then we can get that for the honda too...lol

[@davekintz7170]

First! Very cool Warro!

[@ridewithwarro]

So close!

[@andregrastyan3403]

The Honda is a lot better looking and also a lot better built and obviously a higher quality bike. A total winner in this case. No argument there.

[@ridewithwarro]

great to hear from a honda fan

[@LauraLasan69]

@ridewithwarro not a honda fan. Even as a neutral. Thats a fact

R.E. Classic😍

[@ridewithwarro]

that too...lol

[@bernardbusch6729]

G'Day Warro, If you don't mind me saying so, I reckon most of your regular followers will expect you to heavily favor the Enfield. Let's face it there's probably no-body on the Planet who has had MORE Royal Enfield bikes that you and it seems fortuitous at the same time R/E has emerged as a well regarded business making a quality product. So here we are, you are now tasking yourself with a difficult comparison in which it is essential you be FAIR. I have a C5 fitted with an Indian made KOZI Sidecar, a 150 Sym Scooter and a CB 125E which I bought after seeing you on your daughters bike a year ago. I was the importer of the sidecars and between 2012 and 2017 I was importing them by the container until a boating accident stopped me. My view of the two bikes you are comparing is both have barely 20 HP, a bit skinny, my Honda has 10.7 HP and less weight. 350's made in the 1970's had 30 to 40 Hp, more like it, I reckon.

[@ridewithwarro]

todays 350's are indeed short on power output to say the least...lol all good on the review side and as the clips go by i will give both of them a fair chance...lol never ridden a bike with sidecar but i'd say its an experience. all the best

[@Petrosbiker]

Royal Enfield for me is the Best

[@ridewithwarro]

great to hear. a classic bike indeed

[@londo0]

To me, Honda looks like a cheap copy.

[@ridewithwarro]

may be a copy but unfortunately ...not a cheap copy....lol

[@ridewithwarro]

@@stephenhadley2490 ive never seen one of those i will have to take a look on bikesales

[@Thegeordiemonkey]

They do a 350 rs version which looks a lot better quality.

[@aaaaaas1234]

Yeah cheap like u

[@aaaaaas1234]

U know nothing about the legacy of honda CB series so better shut ur mouth lol😆😆😆😆

[@HardyBunster]

The Honda looks like a triumph.

[@ridewithwarro]

actually does a bit too. all the best

[@garydixon6947]

The honda is like the ugly step-sister to the Enfield!

[@ridewithwarro]

well when you put two bueties together one always falls short...lol

[@ruahinesrider]

They both look good spokes look good but Alloys are more practical incase of a puncture & cleaning.The Honda brakes should get better after 3-400km.Enfield looks better.

[@ridewithwarro]

all good now mate. i gave it a few hard brakes and now at 210 klm and they are working quite well. power appears in first 3 gears and tapers off after that
