Royal Enfield Meteor 350 vs Honda H'ness CB350 Comparison Review

Royal Enfield Meteor 350 vs Honda H'ness CB350 Review: So, Honda finally stepped into the classic roadster segment in India last year with the H'ness CB350 but it is known that Royal Enfield has been the ruler of this territory for decades now and also recently launched a brand new motorcycle, the Meteor 350. The two boast similar power figures and comfort as well, so this turned out to be a very close battle with both the Meteor and the CB offering a very competent package. Abhilasha Singh and Pradeep Shah take them both out for a spin to learn more about them.

Note - As for the immediate delivery of the Honda H'ness CB350, this is applicable at not all, but SELECTED BigWing showrooms. The ones we can confirm are BigWing Ghaziabad and BigWing Gurugram. Please check with your nearest outlet for the exact status in your area! Cheers!

Due to tall gear setup we can drive online on third gear mostly in city , how much mileage we can expect in such case

[@kamikazefighter7180]

RE sells emotion Honda sells machines. That's the main difference between these two companies. Only one word 'HONDA' this name is enough.

I own a cb350 and I'm so happy with it, it offers super ride quality than meteor and I'm being unbiased. ❤️Honda

Help me out plz - I live in Delhi. What should I choose as my first bike - Honda Hness or Meteor 350. Maximum use will be for home to office traveling. In 2-3 months once I will visit out side for touring (UK / Himanchal/Rajsthan)

Congratulations on your new purchase :)

[@toxicwarrior5590]

I think the perfect comparison will be when new classic 350 comes, because this is a classic cruiser and cb is a retro-classic bike, so new classic350 vs cb350 would make more sense

[@IamRajaneesh]

I came to comment section to complain about his mic but realised her mic is good. She took the better bike and better mic too 😂

[@Torquebeast650]

I'm sad because honda has limited the sale of CB350 only to big wing showrooms Where as there are 3 showrooms of RE nearby

[@ShaktiNathJha]

Really Nice Comparison! You both have covered almost all the points a prospective customer would want to know! I wish Honda would have offered it at the regular dealer outlets too! Also, the audio quality played a bit of spoil sport, team please improve it in your upcoming videos.

[@santanusircar1621]

I find the Honda's minimalist design extremely appealing 👍

[@arpitgaur1008]

Honda H'ness is copied version of RE, so why to purchase a Copied version, one must go for original Product, i.e, RE 💖

[@joelsuresh7158]

Hahah😂 bro I think u donno about CB 350 Because CB350 is a retro classic motor cycle which honda already had from 1965 it's not a newly created design n model

[@arpitgaur1008]

@@joelsuresh7158 If its so than why Honda has made a byk which has exactly same specifications as of RE 350. Honda can make a byk of different segment. They have made a byk that have same capacity of engine, same thump like exhaust, same segment byk. Exactly same copy cat 🙀🐱

[@vaibhavhalgekar914]

@@joelsuresh7158 bro British motorcyle were started way before the cb series were started... So for Honda to capture the market in Europe n other places they came with a similar design .... So it's not a battle... But Royal Enfield has been creating wonders even before you or me was born... Yes Honda has the better technology ... And they have worked hard for it... But I am sure In the coming years you too will appreciate RE for what it is... cheers 🙏

[@indiacha]

Both are good bikes But CB350 is better because of its Refined Honda Engine.

[@pranjalsrivastav2138]

Ur highness part❤️❤️

[@raghunathk249]

The refined engine,slipper and assist clutch and the precise gearbox make all the difference. Ride both without bias and the screwed up fan mindset before going for either. They are both machines after all, hence do not deserve emotions. where you put your money should matter more because because you are neither paid by the companies nor are you related to the managements..

[@JasbirSingh-pq1zt]

She is trying so hard to prove meteor is better....pls ride both once and you will clearly find the difference....CB350 really feels much better to ride...only problem is the distribution

Koi semi conductor chip ka shortage hain RE bada suffer kar rahi hain iss wajah se. Sirf brand ke naam par chal rahi hain company. Aur ab toh competitors bhi behtar ban rahe hain. Maine turant apna refund le liya aur HH 350 ki delivery le li 7-8 din mein. Excellent bike hain HH350. 6-8 mahine kaun intejar karega?!🙄
