Super proud owner of the CB350 RS !! Your excitement mirrors mine 😁😅... I know the feeling... Sold my jawa 42 which i rode only 7000kms in 2 years.. and got this awesome machine... Now i have completed 5500kms in 3 months... Hats off to Honda... Thank you for making this video... 👍👍
Thank you for sharing this, baba. I'm super glad to know that our excitement matches. Also, a lot of people are complaining about petty issues with the machine, kind of makes me happy 😅 (less CB350 RS on the road = Stronger Road presence) Hahaha... Thank you for watching :)
@@Miki-So Hello there. Actually there are too many areas where the Honda CB350 RS outshines the Jawa 42. All views are purely personal. 1. Honda's Reliability is unmatched. 2. Sure, on paper Jawa offers more power with a smaller displacement engine - however, the quality of power/the way the power is delivered are totally different. I like the refinement of the Honda. 3. For high speed stability on Highways, I would always prefer the extra weight and dimensions of the RS, I always found the Java to be a smaller frame motorcycle. 4. Higher tank range in Honda, less petrol outlet stops. 5. Seat height of Jawa for me is too low at 765mm 6. 19 inch front wheel on the Honda helps with gliding over potholes. Size of the tyres are huge too - more contact with the road translates to more grip and confidence while riding. 7. Honda has a bigger front disc brake set up at 310mm. BYBRE vs Nissin - you decide which is better. I'll pick the Nissin any day. 8. Halogen vs LED 9. The dual exhausts look flimsy. 10. Japanese R&D is way to ahead of the competition And, there are many more reasons.. honestly - I love how the CB350 RS looks - never got the same feeling for Java. Again, all thoughts are personal. Why curious, if I may ask?
@@StallionRides curious to know because I am looking for a touring bike. Choices are Dominar 400, Jawa 42, Honda CB 350RS, Yamaha FZ 25 and Suzuki Gixxer250. I used to have 150 cc Hero Honds CBZ, but Now I want something for long touring. Honda goes a bit over the budget, Dominar and Jawa I can find 2nd hand in good condition and Suzuki or Yamaha I could buy new one.
3 months..... 6000 kms..... And it's getting better and better.....falling deeper and deeper in love with the motorcycle. Really happy that I bought this machine❤️
Hello there, Arun. Thank you for watching :) 6000 km in 3 months, seems like you ride your motorcycle everyday. You are right, you know someone once told me that Honda engines age like fine wine 😃 The more you ride, the better they keep getting. Happy for you, happy for me 😅
I have completed 8000kms in 6 months on my Highness....its a great bike ❤ My last trip was Delhi to Ladakh via Sringar back to Delhi.. completed 2700kms in 9 days and this bike never ever let a single second be uncomfortable. This is full package in its range ❤️❤️
Hello, Abhinav. I can relate with your experience. I did over 4400+ kms during my Ladakh ride and didn't encounter a single challenge. It's one beautiful beast. Thank you for sharing your story here 😃
Adore your energy and enthusiasm in the voice. It gives me more confidence to purchase CB350RS soon. If I purchase, this would be the first bike I own by myself.
You made my day, baba.Thank you, Sourav. I genuinely hope that you purchase your First Motorcycle soon, may be we could go on a ride some day then. Cheers!
Hello there, Dinesh. I agree one hundred percent. In the 350cc long stroke segment this truly is a class leader :) 22k in 2 years, that's awesome. Are you into long rides, where are you from?
@@dinesh2759 I love the fact that you referred to 450km trips as short rides :) I know a lot of people who would ride less than 200 kms and say they did a long ride.. haha. Thanks for sharing. I made some new friends from Kerala during my Ladakh ride, have you seen those videos? I'm sure you'll like them :)
Hello to you there, Shourav. Glad to know that you were able to relate. By the way, what color do you own? Where are you from? Any particular thing you dislike about the motorcycle?
Was not a big fan of riding long rides until i watched this. Loved the review and narration man, you sounded like someone who is truly in love of what you were doing 🙌
Thank you for your kind words, Rishi. I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video. Do you own a CB350 RS? Planning to buy one? Where are you from? I must say..when one does long rides..one learns a lot about themself 😃
Hello to you there from India. I hope you are doing grand! Thank you for your time, and kind words. About the lucky man part, I wouldn't be so sure 😁 Also, this motorcycle will not be any good for the beautifully built roads of North America, it offers only 20bhp Power 😂
Amazing review! Very informative and unbiased! Thank you for not being a Royal Enfield enthusiast! Loved each and every second plus the bike sounds amazing. Will be buying this in June! Thanks man!
Hello to you there, Rakshit. Glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful 😀 Advanced Congratulations on your purchase.. please do share once you take the delivery 😇
Thank you for your enthusiastic review! It's truly impressive how you engage with your viewers by responding to every comment. Your dedication to your audience is commendable. I've had some concerns about this bike for almost a month, and I'm feeling a bit confused. I've come across certain issues mentioned in online reviews: 1. Rust problems. 2. Wobbling at high speeds. 3. Difficulties in high-altitude pickup. 4. Mud-related issues during the monsoon. Could you please provide insights on how the bike handles these situations and if there are any solutions to these problems? Your expertise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for creating amazing content and for your positive videos. subscribed ❤
1. Rust: It is a genuine issue. You’ll notice rust near the inside area of the silencer and the additional helmet lock area. It doesn’t bother me. I had a covered parking for almost 14 months after purchasing the motorcycle- never saw rust. It started when I changed my apartment and no longer had a covered parking. 2. The motorcycle does NOT wobble if you ride with hands on the handlebar. Wobbling only happens when you ride hands free - that too occasionally, weight distribution, tyre pressure, I don’t know what to blame but it’s there at times. Never if you ride holding the handlebar. 3. Never had an issue with High-Altitude pick up. In fact I did the Ladakh circuit before the ECU update, still had no challenges. Rev matching is super important for superior performance of this machine. You have to be on the right gear at the right speeds when going uphill. That’s all. The motorcycle has plenty of torque on offer. 4. Mud-related issue - The motorcycle gets dirty, yes. If that’s what you are asking. Does not lose one bit of performance though.I don’t mind my motorcycle looking dirty as long as it starts and takes me wherever I want to go without breaking. Thank you for such a lovely comment, Nishan. I have a question, please. Was that ChatGPT? 😬
Hi stallion, i just noticed how patiently and informatively you’re replying to every comments and i just subscribed right away!! Keep up the good work man. And one question i was confused between what to buy, i have three options in hand duke 200, cb350 rs and mt15. My needs are reliability, brakes, mileage,looks and comfortable on little long rides around 500 km. So could you please help me out here. Thanks!!
Hello to you, Kurun. Thank you for your kind words. I would pick the CB350 RS from the options you shared. However, something tells me that you like to ride fast, you enjoy quick acceleration and overtakes (maybe just my stupid assumption). For the purpose you mentioned CB350 RS will be the most reliable, real value for money, and perfect machine for you. What's your built? If you have wide shoulders and a broad frame, you must know that the duke 200 and mt15 will feel like little machines. Think long term, go with the Honda. Baba, if you actually enjoy those quick bursts of acceleration, those tight curves and thrill it gives - go with the duke 200. Mt15 - I won't recommend. I don't have any particular reason, I would pick the R15 any day over the MT15 or the duke 200.. just my thoughts. Hope that helps 😃
Loving my CB350RS riding in the mountains of Taiwan and the city of Taipei. Handles and performs like a Champ. I also ride with a pillion and a top box. Awesome Machine for what it was designed for.
Hello to you there from India. Thank you for sharing, I agree 100%, awesome machine for what it was designed for 😀 What is the max speed you get if I may ask?
Top speed I got was 125. Fastest I cruise is about 110 because of road conditions and restrictions. I am usually around 100 to 110 on expressway. Good acceleration for city traffic and great in the steep mountains and switchbacks.
Everyone else saying negative things because of the tall gearing except you. I think I understood your point because of the demonstration. Good video ❤
Hello to you, Deepak. Congratulations, baba. It's genuinely an amazing motorcycle, you just need to understand its character. Also, thank you for your kind words 😃
@@StallionRides Hi, Really!! Even though it's a cruiser type of bike? I took test ride of CB350RS and CB300R, loved both the bikes and now I am confused. I don't do a lot of touring though but who knows what lies ahead! One of these two will be my first bike so not sure which one to pick! Any suggestions?
@@yatharthbisht7453 Really, baba. Both are superb machines. Plus, you get the Honda reliability. My only apprehension with the 300R is the small frame, carrying luggage and highway rides won’t be that fun I reckon. If you like speed, go with the 300R, CB350 RS is an overall 360 package.
Thanks a lot man, yhea this make sense. I am not a speed freek and I too think 300R would be a small bike for me but the looks and the agility, the refinement man! If I don't get emotional while buying I will probably pick 350RS but who knows 😆
Hello to you there. At 165cms, I do not recommend the Honda CB350 RS. The seat is high and wide, you will struggle to plant both feet on the ground. The CB300F is a quite capable machine - you may go for it.
Hello, Utkarsh. It depends on the willingness and overall fitness levels of the pillion. Context: I once had a pillion who had no challenges whatsoever throughout multiple long and off-road rides, because we enjoyed each other’s company. Willingness plus this person was fit. The same person tends to complain lately about comfort and cancel plans, still fit - but no willingness. Hope that make sense.
Highly correlated with the points you mentioned, brilliant review, 1st gear goes till 40 that's the only minor change. I've ridden 25k all on highways and the city. The engine and the ride you told you can only feel it feels in unison with the tarmac. And the thump just encourages you to push through. Happy Riding! Thinking whether a handlebar mod would help or not for highway riding.
@@shrikantkulkarni2992 After free services, the cost per service will be Rs2500-3000 if there are zero part replacements. Depending on the parts replacement, the cost will add up, ex brake pads, chain set, filter, etc. On an average Rs800-1000/hour of labor charge if you get any additional part. Depends on the time taken and complexity in doing so.
Got a used Hness, 2022 anniversary edition. I am started showing the symptoms of disease you have got now. At the moment just getting used to the motorcycle as I haven’t done any serious bike riding since 2014. Nice review 👍
@@StallionRides I am really considering to buy CB350RS and want to know few things, why did you need to change the chain-set? and how much usual service cost? I mean is it easy to maintain or not?
@@Beast.Branded.24 The oil change itself will cost you over Rs. 1500. A usual service without any replacement parts will cost you between Rs 2500-3000. The Labor charge is a little on the higher side. It is extremely easy to maintain and absolutely reliable- You only have to visit the service centre when a service is due. The chain-set had to be replaced due to normal wear and tear. I know a lot of users who had to replace their chain-set in under 10,000 kms, mine got replaced at over 22500kms. Depends on how you maintain it. All the videos on my channel are on the Honda CB350 RS, feel free to check any video for more information on this machine. Thanks, man.
Both have the same engine, baba. The RS looks and feels a bit more solid due to a chunky stance. Plus, the rider triangle on the Rs will offer a slightly better connect with the road and machine. You must take a test ride. I felt better on the Rs Saddle than I felt on the Highness, so I picked the RS
Hello there, Sridhar. Yes, please. The mud splashing issue is real, however I wouldn't call it a concern as the performance of the motorcycle is not at all impacted by this. I have not installed any mudguards yet, haven't had any issue, except for occasional splashes. I mean this issue is not a deal breaker for me. You can always add a Carbon Racing mudguard extender and solve this problem. I don't use it as I like how the motorcycle looks as it is :)
It's definately not a concern regarding bike performance but even after installing mud guards (front & rear ) i am facing mud splashing that too when i have not even ride it in monsoon till now. That is bcz rear tyre is not covered much. Otherwise the bike is better then it's competitors. You can go for it
Hello there. I am 178 cm. Baba, CB350 RS or Highness, both have the same engine - what's your riding preference - If you are looking for a more engaging ride, go with the CB350 RS. The Highness is a little laid back for my liking.
Hello to you, Srinidhi. Wow, I'm so glad to know this video made you re-consider your choice. Trust me, Himalayan is a great motorcycle..Honda is just too reliable 😃
Hello there. Effortless crusing speed : 90-100kmph, at 90 the motorcycle glides like fluid. Comfort : For me, the RS is more comfortable - wider seats and a great riding posture. Braking, Clutch, Gearshift, Refinement : They both are the same machine. No wind shield needed for upto 120kmph. Hope this helps :)
I've heard that the paid services are ridiculously high. is that the case ? this high maintenance cost is the only thing that's keeping me from buying this bike
Hello, Mohit. Yes, the Labour charge on paid services is a bit on the higher side. However, I must admit, there is no other maintenance charges than regular paid service. I mean you only have to invest on the machine every 5500-6000km ..in between there's no cost of ownership, the parts are too reliable 😃 Hope that helps.
@@enits1712 In that case, I recommend that you don’t purchase this motorcycle. You will never be able to appreciate what it offers because of this worry.
@@StallionRides Guess, I should worry less and accept the fact that bikes have rust. Right, baba? Any tips to just delay it though? Like taking proper care, avoiding the bike being wet for too long and use some sort of anti rusting sprays? I'm really in love with the bike though. Honestly, even more from your reviews.
@@enits1712 I had a covered parking for over 1.5 years and didn’t notice a single spot of rust. Then I moved to a place where I did not have a covered parking, iron will rust if you don’t wash your motorcycle frequently and if it stays wet with mud and dust for prolonged period of time. I haven’t used any anti rust sprays yet. The issue isn’t so bad if you ask me.
I bought Highness, and fell in love with the bike man. I was a royal Enfield lover but one of my friends suggested this bike to try once. Yaa , it just blew my mind. I was like remove the name ( Enfield nd honda ) nd then ride the bike , u can't help falling in love with highness. Some of my friends asked did u change the silencer? I was like no , such a strong and deep thumping it has. Such a wonderful machine.
Love your energy but jealous of your English🙃... Got H'ness black anniversary edition 5 months back, but it feels like it has always been here. Rode almost 6k+ kms on it. Service center is 230 kms away but come on man, it's worth it.
Thank you for your kind words 😇 Why are you jealous of my English though, I know I mess up the English during vlogs.. learning to concentrate on talking while riding. I'm new in this space 😅 It is definitely worth it. The anniversary edition looks killer. Cheers, man 😃
Hello to you. What a nice question, baba. Honestly, I wouldn't know, I am not an expert. However, In my opinion, a slim/skinny beginner who has spent multiple years of their childhood on a bicycle should be able to manage riding the CB350 RS. While it will feel heavy at times, their previous experience lays a good foundation for handling it. With practice, the body and the mind get used to the weight. Hope that helps :)
really need to ask this, so I was also finding the RS more beautiful than hgness , but some are saying hgness is better for cruising and this is like cafe racer kind, since u r mentioning Goa to Delhi ride, did u find discomfort in cruising long distances? or did u did any modification like raising handlebar ?
Hi, Are you facing wobbling issues in your CB350RS? Some reports of wobbling issues are so scary, I'm reconsidering my choice to go for this bike in 2023.
Hello to you, Yash. Yes, please.. if this man in question has prior riding or bicycling experience, he will be able to easily handle the CB350 RS. My apologies for the late response. I am travelling at the moment.
Can i buy it as my first bike? I mainly have ridden a scooter for 3 years. I did learn to ride a bike 3 years ago but i dont think i remember it properly. Is it a good beginner bike for a lean guy of 55kgs?
Hello, Harun. Yes, the CB350 RS can be your first bike. As you know how to balance on two wheels, it should not be a challenge. The weight distribution is quite nice and you don't feel the weight of the machine when it's in motion. You have to be over 5'8, else you'll not be able to plant both feet on the ground. Take a test ride, baba.. you'll know instantly.
Hello, Praveen. Both motorcycles have the same engine. The difference would be, the rider triangle. Highness offers a relaxed riding posture. RS offers a slightly enhanced riding experience. Also, in my opinion the RS looks heavier than the Highness in appearance. Take a test ride, please. You'll know instantly when you sit on the saddle and hold the handlebars.
My two stroke 125cc TG1 made by Gilera back in 1976 had more spunk and speed than this bike. I don't understand why. Motorcycles back then were more powerful and faster.
Hello again. Rear Break once at 10500 kilometres, Front - once at 22500 kilometres. Also, had to replace my chain-set at 22500 kilometres. That's all :)
@@StallionRides Now i get what you mean when you said you use rear brakes a lot lol. My front had to be replaced at 6000 Kilometres, and rear 13000. 22500 for front is pretty impressive!
@@ashlysherief3850 hahaha 😅 Hello there, Ashly. Thank you for sharing. You know, they say you are a faster and better rider if your breaks wear out sooner than other riders. Hence, you are a better rider 😀 Cheers, man. I'm learning everyday..
Hello, Ankush. It depends on multiple factors. Traffic, number of stop and go, acceleration intensity, weight (solo or with pillion), hot or cold weather, and much more. If you are not a rash rider, you will easily extract 32kmpl+ if your ride between 30-70kmph in the city in mixed conditions, overall.
@@M4NA5 Hello there, Manas. Would you believe me if I tell you that I fought the same dilemma in my head for 2 months before settling for the RS. Value for Money - Go for Highness, it offers more than the RS. Bluetooth, extra buttons on the left handlebar (looks nice and makes toggling between info easy), dual horns with cover, and kind of better pillion comfort with the footrest and all that. Feel of Riding - Go for the RS. I test rode the Highness I enjoyed it, it was nice. I sat on the RS saddle and immediately felt a connect with it ( the riding posture was bang on), it felt like I was holding a heavy beast, I mean it was a feeling baba, cannot really explain, I felt the handle bars as an extension of my hands in some manner. Apart from that, the looks are unrealistic, there hasn't been an instance when I park my motorcycle and don't turn to admire. The seats of RS are wider and better than Highness in my opinion, 130 section vs 150 section rear tyre - that's a big difference. Plus, I can keep typing... Please feel free to ask any specifics too, Manas. By the way, thank you for watching.
@@MrNaveen9999 Hello there, Naveen. The stock seats are superb, trust me. They are wide and optimised for long rides, neither too soft nor too hard. Also, they are waterproof, a big plus. I have done over 1000 kilometres in a day and never had a butt/back issue.
The cb350rs is a 5gear configuration. And most of the reviews I saw say the acceleration is not as good on higher ranges. Because of that 5th gear is almost useless? Is it the case? Also I saw another video where the paint came off at multiple places. Especially the silencer. And it was just one year old. Also there were rust issues. Is it so?
Hello to you, Aditya. All that you mentioned is true. Acceleration is not good on higher rev ranges as the peak power and torque is produced at low to mid rpm. That's how the machine is designed.. However, rest assured if you ride at 110kmph on the 4th gear and then apply the 5th gear you'll definitely get a good acceleration.. if you ride at speeds of 60-80kmph on the 5th gear, then you will be disappointed with the acceleration. Hope that makes sense. The paint does not automatically come off.. If you hit the silencer at some places during your ride then yes the paint will come out.. you can always purchase a paint bottle and fix it. Rust issues, yes..if you don't have a covered parking -- then yes.. the mud, dust and rain will cause rusting issues, after all it's metal. However, in my humble opinion none of these matter to me as long as the machine does what I expect it to do..and that is to ride without breaking. I don't care about these petty issues..because the engine and performance is too good. Stallion has never disappointed me.. it is too reliable to even consider anything else.. Recently I did a 5400+km ride.. trust me I didn't have to invest a single Rupee on the machine except for fuel..
Hello there, Nilesh. Hahaha, you know during my 2nd service, I got the suspension set up done one more level stiffer ;) I always believe, the stiffer the better. However, after 2 months I came back to the regular suspension set up. You are right, the suspension feels stiff, at lower speeds, however, the same suspension soaks up almost everything at higher speeds, plus the cornering abilities are enhanced because of the stiffness of the suspension. You could always soften the suspension, as per your convenience, however, if you tend to be a somewhat fast rider, then leave the suspension a little stiff. Hope that helps :)
@@pgunknown In my experience, if you maintain the correct tyre pressure and ride with both hands on the handlebar, you will not experience any wobbling issues.
Hello to you, Naveen. I don't experience any distracting vibrations at any speed. I feel you should not even think about vibrations, there is no other motorcycle in this category that offers more refinement..and hence I think one should be happy with the smoothness than complain about absolutely minor vibrations here and there. It's like is there any other motorcycle in this category that is more refined, you tell me? Also, if you watch the video, you'll know exactly which gear to use at what speeds and maximum speed per gear. My apologies for the late response. I am travelling at the moment.
I just got this beauty a month back and I must admit it is worth every penny🤍 Let it be the performance,the comfort level, the exhaust note, the mileage (range), that 15L tank is a saviour, I covered 200 kms early morning with a full tank, still half a tank remained which is just phenomenonal for me 😬
Speed 400 felt like an insane amount of torque, the bike isn't that enjoyable in the city as it feels too powerful and torquey personally. But the cb 350 RS was in control and I actually enjoyed it..
Super super awesome review 😁 Subbed to your channel....I just loved how you speak I'm also planning to buy this bike in the next month and i just had one question My usages are almost city and weekend long rides and i am a 5ft 11in Guy and i also don't prefer enfield because of Honda's awesome refinement.... So is this bike perfect for me?
Hello to you there, Vinay. Thank you for your kind words, means a lot. Your height will definitely help with low speed maneuvers. I believe the Honda CB350 RS is any day a better machine than the Royal Enfield. However, I wouldn't call it a perfect machine.. if high speed, spirited riding is not your thing, if you aren't bothered with water splashing everywhere because of the size of the mudguard, if you are looking for a no-nonsense reliable machine -- pick the Honda CB350 RS. I swear you can rely on a Honda with your eyes closed...buy a Honda and the Ownership experience will include Peace of Mind at the top spot. The machine just performs... I have ridden it in almost every terrain - not one issue so far. Also, riding to me is more like a passion..so all I care about is the fact that the motorcycle does what it is intended to do, that is take you places without repairs and additional headaches.. so in that context I believe there is no better 350cc machine than this. Hope this helps :)
Bro i own cb350rs and falling in love everyday❤️😇....but lots of owners are complaining about wobbling issue after 5k kms ...now I am feeling little worried because I clocked 5500 km ...till now no wobbling for me but I am scared if it might start....what is your take on this😐
Hello there, Alan. Yes, please. It makes you fall in love everyday. Honestly, to this day I have never experienced wobbling issues, it's scary how some users are complaining. My take - I don't know what to say about this, this is an unheard problem for a Honda machine. I have this blind trust for Honda and so far I have had no reasons to complain. My apologies for not knowing the solution, baba.
Hello to you, Tanmay. I don't experience any wobble issues as I ride my motorcycle with both hands on the handlebar. Plus, I'm travelling at the moment, I have made some videos specifically on the wobble issue. . Will upload them in probably a month or two. My apologies for the late response. I am travelling at the moment.
Thanks for your video! Can you tell me your height? Today i visited showroom and tested H'ness and RS. Leg position for long trip better in H'ness version. You use it for that perpouse also, so why your choice is RS?
Thank you for your question, Evgenius. Here is my answer. I love long rides because I enjoy the process of riding. I feel the happiest when I'm on a motorcycle. The leg position on highness is definitely more suited for long rides than the RS - however, I feel more connected with the ride on the RS. Also, I'm 178cms tall without riding boots.
Guys, please suggest good long lasting disk pads, chain sprocket for honda cb350. Hereafter i do not want to visit bigwing service center. I have found local mechanic. The service fees seems to be higher side.
I'm super happy with my cb350rs. This is definitely a capable engine. Highway ride is super smooth till 110. Can reach 120 as well if the road is good. But I feel the seat is not very comfortable, you can do a 150 kms continously after that you start feeling pain in the Butt... Could be because of a little narrow seat...
Hello there, Murali. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. In my opinion the seats of RS are much wider than that of the Highness. Also, 150kms is a decent riding distance in one go.. however, I have done over 350+ kms without a break and never had butt/back issues. I feel the pillion seat could have been better. A question - do you wear riding pants while doing long distance? I feel the riding pants help, in my case my butt gets a good cushion 😅
Hello there, Vikrant. Never had any loss of power, the gearing is different, you have to keep the engine on the right rev range. If you use the 1st gear till a speed of 30 in high altitude, and 2nd gear till a speed of 60..I promise you'll not feel any lack of power, the motorcycle just pulls. One press on the start button and it goes boom, ever since day 1. It works in all weather conditions- cold, snow, even when it continuously stands in the rain for days at length. Honestly, I never experienced a single mechanical issue with the motorcycle. Hey, thank you for watching :)
@@StallionRides just saw one of the vlogs earlier this year where rider had power problems at high altitude, i checked with the dealership they informed that earlier there was a problem but now it has been resolved , thanks to you for your reply.
@@vikrantkaundal9148 Yes, please. Honda did an ECU update some time after the launch and that was fixed. A suggestion, please. If you use the engine kill switch, then be mindful to allow it 3-5 seconds before pressing the start button. As the kill/start button is integrated a lot of times people press them both together without allowing the pause- this is a major cause of loss of power in high altitude. Just sharing.
31.8k km so far. Engine performance has been consistent since I got it. If you are looking for a fast motorcycle, this is not the one. You could easily cruise at 100-110 kmph without a vibration though.
@@PriyasVlogsss Thank you for sharing. I was in Mumbai recently during my Delhi to Goa bike trip. I meant to ask, do you ride? Do you drive? What do you like about motorcycles. And, again..thank you for your time..
Hii.. I going to buy this one in a month but I am confused with highness and cb350rs. I am 6 feet tall will this good for me? Otherwise i will go with highness
At 6 feet, RS would be optimum for you. Depends on your riding style too, if you like to ride comfortably in general go with the Highness. If you prefer riding a little aggressively - go with the RS
😅😅😅 it's look totally comfortable for you. I like cb350rs than highness because it's look and aggressive nature. Heart says 350rs but mind says Highness. 😬😬
@@mr_md_officiall Go with your heart. What’s the point of riding a motorcycle that you won’t appreciate everyday. I have had my moments on uneven patches, you indeed feel the weight, often times I have wished I were taller in such situations.
I have a concern of the suspension because many were saying that it was stiff. So Kindly share your review on the suspension as my requirement is to have the best suspension. My height is 5'8
I like stiff suspension. The stiffer the better. Stiff suspensions are a blessing for high speed stability, making high speed turns, etcetera. During my second service, I got the suspension set up 1 level stiffer but got back to default stock settings during 3rd service, at low speeds you may feel the suspension is stiff but at speeds over 50kmph, the motorcycle glides over most potholes.
Does anyone have vibrations in the handle bar and mirror at 90 to 100 kmph After first service of my cb350rs facing vibration issues. Any suggestions pls
Hello there. Yes, please. The sound ever so slightly reduced after the first service. It has stayed consistent ever since, no loss in sound since first service.
Hello to you, Rajat. I have not had rusting issues with my motorcycle, however, I know people who have had this problem majorly because of parking the motorcycle regularly in open area under the sun/wind/dust/ rain/smog, etcetera. Some areas like the helmet holder lock, the inside of the silencer/exhaust, and the part where the silencer starts right below the right foot peg/brake area - that is also prone to rusting. However, trust me, you'll not encounter any performance issues because of this and it's really not a deal breaker given how premium the quality of parts are. Plus, if you keep your motorcycle in a covered parking, all will be good. Hope that helps :)
Hello, Ankit. Both have the same engine, baba - the difference is the riding experience. With RS you get a more involved ride, you feel more connected to the machine and the road, you’ll be able to ride spiritedly on it. The Highness offers a more relaxed ride. Take a test ride, baba.
Hello there, Mohan. Hope you are doing well. I added the below accessories. 1. Motorcycle Handle Crash Bar - from Sans Moto Shop 2. HJG Series Fog Lights ( you need aux lights for sure, the standard lights are not useful in the dark) 3. Sans Classic Parts - Engine Sump Guard/ Bash Plate 4. Sans Classic Parts - Carrier without backrest 5. Sans Classic Parts - Headlight Grill 6. Sans Classic Parts - Saddle Stay This shop Sans is in Karol Bagh, Delhi. Hope this helps. I am not using the mudguard extender, I like how the front of the motorcycle looks without the extender ;)
@@mohanram7450 the regular ones I installed from the Honda Showroom, I like the compact size of it. However, utility wise, you may want to install from outside. I remember in the same store, Sans Moto Shop, they had many designs available, you may try there. Check on their website.
@@StallionRides regarding front mudguard, I saw on vlog mentioning about wet mud spill upfront to handle level. I want to hear from ur honest experience from Ladakh bro
Hello, Surajit. They are both the same. If you are asking between Highness and RS.. I would prefer the RS for the rider triangle. Again, both machines have the same engine, just the riding dynamics are different. Take a test ride, please. You'll know instantly.
@@surajitkrbarman5761 There is a switch near the clutch area.. the same switch that is used for dipper. If you press it in the opposite direction, the high beam will be activated.
Hello there, Sisneh. I'm still using the stock tires. Haven't replaced them yet. Mine have lasted over 24k+ km so far.. I might have to change them in another 2-3k km.
@@ksisneh front one will definitely last 30k+ km. Rear one will have to be replaced at 25k+ if you are s spirited rider.. very little tyre tread is left after 25k km on the rear.
Hi bro, Which is better CB350 RS or CB 350 Hness Because in 2000rupees hness give more features then RS Can you suggest on this is it better to take RS or give extra 2000rupees for Hness and take Hness
Hello there, Shivaray. I agree, 100%. Highness is more value for money. However, in my case I did not feel a connect with the rider's traingle of Highness. I like the riding posture of the RS much better.
Here is an older response I gave to a gentleman who had a similar question. Hope it helps. Highness is value for money as it offers more features, however, I feel the RS offers a better riding experience and connect with the motorcycle. When I test rode the Highness, I liked it, it was nice, however, didn't like the riding posture, - loved the engine and throttle response. I like the rider's traingle on the RS much better than the highness, a slight stretch to reach the handlebars and slightly rear set foot rests offer much better control and feel. Plus, I love the tires, and the looks. Honestly both are more or less the same machine. Highness has a relaxed riding posture , RS has a riding posture that my physique or length of bones like. So, I chose the RS. My recommendation is to sit on the saddle. You'll know immediately what you like. I did.
Hello there, Bred. Unfortunately you cannot. The regular Honda service centre does not accept CB350 RS service or repair requests. They have strict quality control standards (Japanese way 😇). At present CB350 RS and above models can only be serviced through BigWing. I'm sure you'll be able to find a local mechanic who could service the CB350 RS as the engine is not too complicated. However, I wouldn't recommend that, try and get the service done through BigWing at least for the 1st year of ownership to eliminate any technical faults that can be replaced under warranty. Post one year, you could always consider taking it to a local mechanic. Hope that helps :) I can understand your situation, Honda must really consider expanding their BigWing network.
@@jbr.1 1st service will be under 1000 km within a month from purchase. After that every 6 months or 6000 kms whichever comes first. Normally I'm sure you'll end up servicing the motorcycle every 4000km at least. The first 3 services are free ( only labor charge is free 😅) post that, Honda has a high Labor charge every time you go for a service. Still, the parts are premium and the maintenance is fairly inexpensive due to the reliability factor.
@@jbr.1 Wobbling issues - Yes ( at certain speeds only if you leave both hands and don't have the adequate tyre pressure ) else NO. It's an extremely stable motorcycle for that matter. Rusting Issues - Nothing major or significant, it's not a deal breaker. If you have a covered parking, rusting won't be an issue.. else you might notice rust on the inside of the silencer or the part where the silencer begins right next to the right foot placement area. Hope that helps.
Hello to you, Ali. I think you should go with the Highness. The RS seat height is too high for 5'4, manageable but i won't recommend. Take a test ride, please.
Hello, Mriganka. This is an interesting question. You will miss out on the riding stance of the RS ( it's not sporty, yet sporty) - RS offers more connect with the machine, better handling, cornering and the rear set foot-pegs inspire confidence on twisties. Plus, the RS has a fresh look ( I honestly love how the RS looks in person). You'll miss out on the huge tyres that grip the road so well.. Both are in essence the same machine - the riding dynamics make all the difference for me. Take a test ride, baba.. you'll know instantly what you like.
Hi stallion rider😃❤ I purchased cb350rs blue colour a week ago, absolutely loving this bike, this is my first ever bike. Did you feel the need to install handle bar raiser in your bike?? I did a 100km ride yesterday on Pune Lonavala highway with one break at 50km and felt slight pain in my palm, could it be negated with installing handle bar raiser, or shall I put foam handle bar grips ? I think since I’m new to motorcycling I need to get used to these sweet pains haha 😂 Thanks for making review video which helped me choosing this bike, looking forward for more.
Hello there, Nikhil. Congratulations on your purchase ✌️ I don't feel the need to install the handle bar raiser, I like the slight stretch to reach the handlebars. .plus installing raisers will definitely mess the handling dynamics of the motorcycle a bit. Yes, baba.. you will get used to the posture in some days and your grip will keep getting better. As it's a heavy machine, it takes a little getting used to :) Thank you for watching, baba..I'm glad the video helped you make a decision. Cheers!
@@StallionRides that's a very simplistic approach you're taking. The riding dynamics are also affected by how tall the rider is, also the limb length. So a little tweaks here are there are needed to make the maotorcycle fit you best
Sir actually Honda is using non abs brake pads for this bike so that's why the brake pads are wearing out early, very early. Try versah brake pads for hness or cb 350 it works very nicely for longer period
Very Good Review man.. Thank You!! I have also bought CB350 DLX Pro last month. I have noticed some some noise from front sporcket side. Have you faced similar issue?
Hello to you, Sandeep. Yes, please. I did. Are you referring to a weird noise the front of the motorcycle makes on sudden acceleration from stop? If yes.. I did have the same issue till before my first service.. I told my mechanic in the BigWing, he didn't seem to know a fix but then the issue went away on its own after the first service. I mean post the 1st service, I haven't had this problem till now. And, thank you for taking the time to watch the video.
@@StallionRides Thanks for quick response.. I found this video on youtube. I have exactly the same issue. First service done, issue is still there. th-cam.com/users/shortsPwwCx08-USE?feature=share

Super proud owner of the CB350 RS !! Your excitement mirrors mine 😁😅... I know the feeling... Sold my jawa 42 which i rode only 7000kms in 2 years.. and got this awesome machine... Now i have completed 5500kms in 3 months... Hats off to Honda... Thank you for making this video... 👍👍
Thank you for sharing this, baba. I'm super glad to know that our excitement matches.
Also, a lot of people are complaining about petty issues with the machine, kind of makes me happy 😅 (less CB350 RS on the road = Stronger Road presence)
Hahaha...
Thank you for watching :)
Curious to know how CB350 RS is better than Jawa 42?
@@Miki-So Hello there.
Actually there are too many areas where the Honda CB350 RS outshines the Jawa 42.
All views are purely personal.
1. Honda's Reliability is unmatched.
2. Sure, on paper Jawa offers more power with a smaller displacement engine - however, the quality of power/the way the power is delivered are totally different. I like the refinement of the Honda.
3. For high speed stability on Highways, I would always prefer the extra weight and dimensions of the RS, I always found the Java to be a smaller frame motorcycle.
4. Higher tank range in Honda, less petrol outlet stops.
5. Seat height of Jawa for me is too low at 765mm
6. 19 inch front wheel on the Honda helps with gliding over potholes. Size of the tyres are huge too - more contact with the road translates to more grip and confidence while riding.
7. Honda has a bigger front disc brake set up at 310mm. BYBRE vs Nissin - you decide which is better. I'll pick the Nissin any day.
8. Halogen vs LED
9. The dual exhausts look flimsy.
10. Japanese R&D is way to ahead of the competition
And, there are many more reasons.. honestly - I love how the CB350 RS looks - never got the same feeling for Java.
Again, all thoughts are personal.
Why curious, if I may ask?
@@StallionRides curious to know because I am looking for a touring bike. Choices are Dominar 400, Jawa 42, Honda CB 350RS, Yamaha FZ 25 and Suzuki Gixxer250. I used to have 150 cc Hero Honds CBZ, but Now I want something for long touring. Honda goes a bit over the budget, Dominar and Jawa I can find 2nd hand in good condition and Suzuki or Yamaha I could buy new one.
Hi miki, how much mileage u get
3 months..... 6000 kms..... And it's getting better and better.....falling deeper and deeper in love with the motorcycle. Really happy that I bought this machine❤️
Hello there, Arun.
Thank you for watching :)
6000 km in 3 months, seems like you ride your motorcycle everyday.
You are right, you know someone once told me that Honda engines age like fine wine 😃
The more you ride, the better they keep getting.
Happy for you, happy for me 😅
I have completed 8000kms in 6 months on my Highness....its a great bike ❤
My last trip was Delhi to Ladakh via Sringar back to Delhi.. completed 2700kms in 9 days and this bike never ever let a single second be uncomfortable.
This is full package in its range ❤️❤️
Hello, Abhinav. I can relate with your experience. I did over 4400+ kms during my Ladakh ride and didn't encounter a single challenge. It's one beautiful beast.
Thank you for sharing your story here 😃
Adore your energy and enthusiasm in the voice. It gives me more confidence to purchase CB350RS soon. If I purchase, this would be the first bike I own by myself.
You made my day, baba.Thank you, Sourav.
I genuinely hope that you purchase your First Motorcycle soon, may be we could go on a ride some day then.
Cheers!

Advanced Congratulations on your purchase.. please do share once you take the delivery 😇
Thank you for your enthusiastic review! It's truly impressive how you engage with your viewers by responding to every comment. Your dedication to your audience is commendable.
I've had some concerns about this bike for almost a month, and I'm feeling a bit confused. I've come across certain issues mentioned in online reviews:
1. Rust problems.
2. Wobbling at high speeds.
3. Difficulties in high-altitude pickup.
4. Mud-related issues during the monsoon.
Could you please provide insights on how the bike handles these situations and if there are any solutions to these problems? Your expertise would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for creating amazing content and for your positive videos. subscribed ❤
1. Rust: It is a genuine issue. You’ll notice rust near the inside area of the silencer and the additional helmet lock area. It doesn’t bother me. I had a covered parking for almost 14 months after purchasing the motorcycle- never saw rust. It started when I changed my apartment and no longer had a covered parking.
2. The motorcycle does NOT wobble if you ride with hands on the handlebar. Wobbling only happens when you ride hands free - that too occasionally, weight distribution, tyre pressure, I don’t know what to blame but it’s there at times. Never if you ride holding the handlebar.
3. Never had an issue with High-Altitude pick up. In fact I did the Ladakh circuit before the ECU update, still had no challenges. Rev matching is super important for superior performance of this machine. You have to be on the right gear at the right speeds when going uphill. That’s all. The motorcycle has plenty of torque on offer.
4. Mud-related issue - The motorcycle gets dirty, yes. If that’s what you are asking. Does not lose one bit of performance though.I don’t mind my motorcycle looking dirty as long as it starts and takes me wherever I want to go without breaking.
Thank you for such a lovely comment, Nishan.
I have a question, please. Was that ChatGPT? 😬
Hi stallion, i just noticed how patiently and informatively you’re replying to every comments and i just subscribed right away!! Keep up the good work man. And one question i was confused between what to buy, i have three options in hand duke 200, cb350 rs and mt15. My needs are reliability, brakes, mileage,looks and comfortable on little long rides around 500 km. So could you please help me out here. Thanks!!
Hello to you, Kurun.
Thank you for your kind words.
I would pick the CB350 RS from the options you shared. However, something tells me that you like to ride fast, you enjoy quick acceleration and overtakes (maybe just my stupid assumption).
For the purpose you mentioned CB350 RS will be the most reliable, real value for money, and perfect machine for you.
What's your built? If you have wide shoulders and a broad frame, you must know that the duke 200 and mt15 will feel like little machines.
Think long term, go with the Honda.
Baba, if you actually enjoy those quick bursts of acceleration, those tight curves and thrill it gives - go with the duke 200.
Mt15 - I won't recommend. I don't have any particular reason, I would pick the R15 any day over the MT15 or the duke 200.. just my thoughts.
Hope that helps 😃

What is the max speed you get if I may ask?
Top speed I got was 125. Fastest I cruise is about 110 because of road conditions and restrictions. I am usually around 100 to 110 on expressway. Good acceleration for city traffic and great in the steep mountains and switchbacks.
@@francis105G Thank you for sharing, I have done over 140kmph.. however, you are right 100-110 is both the sweet and safe spot :)

In stock condition - 10
With accessories and modifications - Depends.
@@StallionRides Hi,
Really!! Even though it's a cruiser type of bike?
I took test ride of CB350RS and CB300R, loved both the bikes and now I am confused. I don't do a lot of touring though but who knows what lies ahead! One of these two will be my first bike so not sure which one to pick! Any suggestions?
@@yatharthbisht7453 Really, baba.
Both are superb machines. Plus, you get the Honda reliability. My only apprehension with the 300R is the small frame, carrying luggage and highway rides won’t be that fun I reckon.
If you like speed, go with the 300R, CB350 RS is an overall 360 package.
Thanks a lot man, yhea this make sense. I am not a speed freek and I too think 300R would be a small bike for me but the looks and the agility, the refinement man! If I don't get emotional while buying I will probably pick 350RS but who knows 😆
@@yatharthbisht7453 Haha. All the best to you, baba. Do tell once you make the purchase.
Hello I cannot decide between Honda cb300f and cb350rs, pls let me know which one should I pick as it'll be my first bike and my height is 165cm
Hello to you there.
At 165cms, I do not recommend the Honda CB350 RS. The seat is high and wide, you will struggle to plant both feet on the ground.
The CB300F is a quite capable machine - you may go for it.
Hey, thanks for the informative video. Could you please tell if this bike is good in terms of pillion comfort?
Hello, Utkarsh.
It depends on the willingness and overall fitness levels of the pillion.
Context: I once had a pillion who had no challenges whatsoever throughout multiple long and off-road rides, because we enjoyed each other’s company. Willingness plus this person was fit.
The same person tends to complain lately about comfort and cancel plans, still fit - but no willingness. Hope that make sense.
Highly correlated with the points you mentioned, brilliant review, 1st gear goes till 40 that's the only minor change.
I've ridden 25k all on highways and the city. The engine and the ride you told you can only feel it feels in unison with the tarmac. And the thump just encourages you to push through. Happy Riding!
Thinking whether a handlebar mod would help or not for highway riding.
@@ExpertAmoeba009 Thank you, baba.
You could always give the handlebar mods a try 😀
What a reliable work horse❤🔥‼️
Absolutely, Shaddam 😃
Can you please tel me what is service cost and specially after free service? What is labour charges after free servicing
@@shrikantkulkarni2992 After free services, the cost per service will be Rs2500-3000 if there are zero part replacements.
Depending on the parts replacement, the cost will add up, ex brake pads, chain set, filter, etc.
On an average Rs800-1000/hour of labor charge if you get any additional part. Depends on the time taken and complexity in doing so.
Got a used Hness, 2022 anniversary edition. I am started showing the symptoms of disease you have got now. At the moment just getting used to the motorcycle as I haven’t done any serious bike riding since 2014.
Nice review 👍
Thank you for sharing your experience, baba 😀
Hey
You said you had to pay 6000rs during service at 22000 km.
Can you please help me to know why it cost so much?
Hello there.
Rs. 6467 precisely. I had to get the Chain-set and the front break pads replaced during the service.
@@StallionRides I am really considering to buy CB350RS and want to know few things,
why did you need to change the chain-set?
and how much usual service cost?
I mean is it easy to maintain or not?
@@Beast.Branded.24 The oil change itself will cost you over Rs. 1500. A usual service without any replacement parts will cost you between Rs 2500-3000. The Labor charge is a little on the higher side.
It is extremely easy to maintain and absolutely reliable- You only have to visit the service centre when a service is due.
The chain-set had to be replaced due to normal wear and tear. I know a lot of users who had to replace their chain-set in under 10,000 kms, mine got replaced at over 22500kms. Depends on how you maintain it.
All the videos on my channel are on the Honda CB350 RS, feel free to check any video for more information on this machine. Thanks, man.
This bike one thing i like about is its look... This give the old classic vibes ... 😅
Love From Chennai 💙
Bro can you help me choose between H'ness 350 and CB 350 RS ? I am pretty confused which Model to buy 🤔
Both have the same engine, baba.
The RS looks and feels a bit more solid due to a chunky stance. Plus, the rider triangle on the Rs will offer a slightly better connect with the road and machine.
You must take a test ride. I felt better on the Rs Saddle than I felt on the Highness, so I picked the RS
@@StallionRides Will definitely take a Test Ride 😉
Thanks Bro 💙
Hi,
I just wanted to know if the mud splashing is big concern for this bike..and did you do anything to avoid this issue
Hello there, Sridhar.
Yes, please. The mud splashing issue is real, however I wouldn't call it a concern as the performance of the motorcycle is not at all impacted by this.
I have not installed any mudguards yet, haven't had any issue, except for occasional splashes. I mean this issue is not a deal breaker for me.
You can always add a Carbon Racing mudguard extender and solve this problem. I don't use it as I like how the motorcycle looks as it is :)
It's definately not a concern regarding bike performance but even after installing mud guards (front & rear ) i am facing mud splashing that too when i have not even ride it in monsoon till now. That is bcz rear tyre is not covered much. Otherwise the bike is better then it's competitors. You can go for it
@@Rajat1293 Thank you for your input, Rajat. Couldn't agree more 😀

Hello there. I am 178 cm. Baba, CB350 RS or Highness, both have the same engine - what's your riding preference - If you are looking for a more engaging ride, go with the CB350 RS. The Highness is a little laid back for my liking.

I taught to buy Himalayan but now by cing your review feels to buy cb 350 rs
Hello to you, Srinidhi.
Wow, I'm so glad to know this video made you re-consider your choice.
Trust me, Himalayan is a great motorcycle..Honda is just too reliable 😃
This man really loves this machine 😅
Effortless cruising speed? Compare with Highness in terms of Comfort, breaking n clutch gearshift n engine refinement. Wind shield needed on highway?
Hello there.
Effortless crusing speed : 90-100kmph, at 90 the motorcycle glides like fluid.
Comfort : For me, the RS is more comfortable - wider seats and a great riding posture.
Braking, Clutch, Gearshift, Refinement : They both are the same machine.
No wind shield needed for upto 120kmph.
Hope this helps :)
I've heard that the paid services are ridiculously high. is that the case ?
this high maintenance cost is the only thing that's keeping me from buying this bike
Hello, Mohit.
Yes, the Labour charge on paid services is a bit on the higher side.
However, I must admit, there is no other maintenance charges than regular paid service.
I mean you only have to invest on the machine every 5500-6000km ..in between there's no cost of ownership, the parts are too reliable 😃
Hope that helps.
Bro in a dilemma between meteor vs cb350 dlx pro, can u pls suggest which one i can choose. mostly for city ride and occassional long rides..

I have ridden Meteor, and I did not like it.
Bro, rust issues on the bike is having me worried if I should opt for this. Any thoughts baba?
@@enits1712 In that case, I recommend that you don’t purchase this motorcycle. You will never be able to appreciate what it offers because of this worry.
@@StallionRides Guess, I should worry less and accept the fact that bikes have rust. Right, baba? Any tips to just delay it though? Like taking proper care, avoiding the bike being wet for too long and use some sort of anti rusting sprays?
I'm really in love with the bike though. Honestly, even more from your reviews.
@@enits1712 I had a covered parking for over 1.5 years and didn’t notice a single spot of rust.
Then I moved to a place where I did not have a covered parking, iron will rust if you don’t wash your motorcycle frequently and if it stays wet with mud and dust for prolonged period of time.
I haven’t used any anti rust sprays yet. The issue isn’t so bad if you ask me.
@@StallionRides Thank you for answering my questions, really appreciate it. Hope you enjoy your ride today!!!
I bought Highness, and fell in love with the bike man. I was a royal Enfield lover but one of my friends suggested this bike to try once. Yaa , it just blew my mind. I was like remove the name ( Enfield nd honda ) nd then ride the bike , u can't help falling in love with highness. Some of my friends asked did u change the silencer? I was like no , such a strong and deep thumping it has. Such a wonderful machine.
Thank you for sharing, baba. Such a lovely machine it is. Cheers 😀
I don't know why, but I'm falling in love with this mechine.

Love your energy but jealous of your English🙃... Got H'ness black anniversary edition 5 months back, but it feels like it has always been here. Rode almost 6k+ kms on it. Service center is 230 kms away but come on man, it's worth it.
Thank you for your kind words 😇
Why are you jealous of my English though, I know I mess up the English during vlogs.. learning to concentrate on talking while riding. I'm new in this space 😅
It is definitely worth it. The anniversary edition looks killer. Cheers, man 😃
Can a skinny beginner ride this bike or is it too heavy and cumbersome??
Hello to you. What a nice question, baba. Honestly, I wouldn't know, I am not an expert. However, In my opinion, a slim/skinny beginner who has spent multiple years of their childhood on a bicycle should be able to manage riding the CB350 RS. While it will feel heavy at times, their previous experience lays a good foundation for handling it. With practice, the body and the mind get used to the weight.
Hope that helps :)
speed with gearshift is : on first gear, 20-25 max
sencond gear, 40-45 max
third gear, 65- 70 max
fourth gear, 95- 100 km/hr
fifth gear, 120 and above
Thank you for your input, Akshay 😀
really need to ask this, so I was also finding the RS more beautiful than hgness , but some are saying hgness is better for cruising and this is like cafe racer kind, since u r mentioning Goa to Delhi ride, did u find discomfort in cruising long distances? or did u did any modification like raising handlebar ?
I did not experience any discomfort during long rides, and the handlebar is stock.
You are selling a lot of CB350RS for Honda!!
Got myself one today😃
Haina.
Congratulations, Ved 😀
Hi,
Are you facing wobbling issues in your CB350RS? Some reports of wobbling issues are so scary, I'm reconsidering my choice to go for this bike in 2023.
I do not encounter any wobble issues with my motorcycle as long as I ride it like it is intended to be ridden (by holding the handlebars)
Best review I have seen keep going Stallion
I'm glad you like it.
Thank you, Mr. Pubg Lover 😀
Just wanted to know.. Will this bike be a good pick for man with 168~170 cm height?..
Eagerly waiting for reply!
Hello to you, Yash.
Yes, please.. if this man in question has prior riding or bicycling experience, he will be able to easily handle the CB350 RS.
My apologies for the late response. I am travelling at the moment.
Can i buy it as my first bike? I mainly have ridden a scooter for 3 years. I did learn to ride a bike 3 years ago but i dont think i remember it properly. Is it a good beginner bike for a lean guy of 55kgs?
Hello, Harun.
Yes, the CB350 RS can be your first bike. As you know how to balance on two wheels, it should not be a challenge. The weight distribution is quite nice and you don't feel the weight of the machine when it's in motion.
You have to be over 5'8, else you'll not be able to plant both feet on the ground.
Take a test ride, baba.. you'll know instantly.
Good review. Thanks for that! Why is the oncoming traffic always driving in your lane? Are they illiterate?
Thank you for your time, Aneesh.
People make mistakes, baba 🙃
@theompman Lane lane lane - look at mee Im sooo educated. Tfoh bro have you ridden in the hills before?
Hi Stallion rides,
I'm buying my first bike, can you suggest which one to buy. Hness vs RS
Hello, Praveen.
Both motorcycles have the same engine. The difference would be, the rider triangle. Highness offers a relaxed riding posture. RS offers a slightly enhanced riding experience. Also, in my opinion the RS looks heavier than the Highness in appearance.
Take a test ride, please. You'll know instantly when you sit on the saddle and hold the handlebars.
@@StallionRides thanks 👍👍
My two stroke 125cc TG1 made by Gilera back in 1976 had more spunk and speed than this bike. I don't understand why. Motorcycles back then were more powerful and faster.
Hello to you there.
Humans back then were healthier, powerful and less disturbed in general. Guess a lot has changed 🙃
How often did u have to change the disc/brake pads?
Hello again.
Rear Break once at 10500 kilometres,
Front - once at 22500 kilometres.
Also, had to replace my chain-set at 22500 kilometres.
That's all :)
@@StallionRides Thank you :)
@@StallionRides Now i get what you mean when you said you use rear brakes a lot lol. My front had to be replaced at 6000 Kilometres, and rear 13000.
22500 for front is pretty impressive!
@@ashlysherief3850 hahaha 😅
Hello there, Ashly.
Thank you for sharing. You know, they say you are a faster and better rider if your breaks wear out sooner than other riders.
Hence, you are a better rider 😀
Cheers, man.
I'm learning everyday..
what do you think the mileage for only city rides if my speed ranges apporx 30-70kmph overall.?
Hello, Ankush. It depends on multiple factors. Traffic, number of stop and go, acceleration intensity, weight (solo or with pillion), hot or cold weather, and much more.
If you are not a rash rider, you will easily extract 32kmpl+ if your ride between 30-70kmph in the city in mixed conditions, overall.
Stallion has never disappointed me. 24000 kilometres and not one setback.
Questions, queries, and feedback are welcome :)
Currently debating between Highness CB350 and CB350 RS. Which one would you recommend and why?
@@M4NA5 Hello there, Manas.
Would you believe me if I tell you that I fought the same dilemma in my head for 2 months before settling for the RS.
Value for Money - Go for Highness, it offers more than the RS. Bluetooth, extra buttons on the left handlebar (looks nice and makes toggling between info easy), dual horns with cover, and kind of better pillion comfort with the footrest and all that.
Feel of Riding - Go for the RS.
I test rode the Highness I enjoyed it, it was nice.
I sat on the RS saddle and immediately felt a connect with it ( the riding posture was bang on), it felt like I was holding a heavy beast, I mean it was a feeling baba, cannot really explain, I felt the handle bars as an extension of my hands in some manner.
Apart from that, the looks are unrealistic, there hasn't been an instance when I park my motorcycle and don't turn to admire.
The seats of RS are wider and better than Highness in my opinion, 130 section vs 150 section rear tyre - that's a big difference.
Plus, I can keep typing...
Please feel free to ask any specifics too, Manas.
By the way, thank you for watching.
How is the seating comfort, anything added to seat for this long ride?
@@MrNaveen9999 Hello there, Naveen. The stock seats are superb, trust me. They are wide and optimised for long rides, neither too soft nor too hard. Also, they are waterproof, a big plus. I have done over 1000 kilometres in a day and never had a butt/back issue.
@@StallionRides Some confusion in which to choose and your reply. Could you please take a relook at the answer.
The cb350rs is a 5gear configuration. And most of the reviews I saw say the acceleration is not as good on higher ranges. Because of that 5th gear is almost useless? Is it the case? Also I saw another video where the paint came off at multiple places. Especially the silencer. And it was just one year old. Also there were rust issues. Is it so?
Hello to you, Aditya. All that you mentioned is true. Acceleration is not good on higher rev ranges as the peak power and torque is produced at low to mid rpm. That's how the machine is designed.. However, rest assured if you ride at 110kmph on the 4th gear and then apply the 5th gear you'll definitely get a good acceleration.. if you ride at speeds of 60-80kmph on the 5th gear, then you will be disappointed with the acceleration. Hope that makes sense.
The paint does not automatically come off.. If you hit the silencer at some places during your ride then yes the paint will come out.. you can always purchase a paint bottle and fix it.
Rust issues, yes..if you don't have a covered parking -- then yes.. the mud, dust and rain will cause rusting issues, after all it's metal.
However, in my humble opinion none of these matter to me as long as the machine does what I expect it to do..and that is to ride without breaking. I don't care about these petty issues..because the engine and performance is too good. Stallion has never disappointed me.. it is too reliable to even consider anything else..
Recently I did a 5400+km ride.. trust me I didn't have to invest a single Rupee on the machine except for fuel..
What do you think of suspension?
I found it very stiff.... And it gives lot of jerks and then ride becomes very uncomfortable.
By the way i have cb350
Hello there, Nilesh.
Hahaha, you know during my 2nd service, I got the suspension set up done one more level stiffer ;)
I always believe, the stiffer the better.
However, after 2 months I came back to the regular suspension set up.
You are right, the suspension feels stiff, at lower speeds, however, the same suspension soaks up almost everything at higher speeds, plus the cornering abilities are enhanced because of the stiffness of the suspension.
You could always soften the suspension, as per your convenience, however, if you tend to be a somewhat fast rider, then leave the suspension a little stiff.
Hope that helps :)
Excited for the accessories video.
Bro I have seen many users saying there's wobbling issue in cb350 after 10000 km riding did you face any of it
@@pgunknown In my experience, if you maintain the correct tyre pressure and ride with both hands on the handlebar, you will not experience any wobbling issues.
i have slight vibrations in foot peg in 3rd gear. Do you have that issue. also tell speed ranges for each gear
Hello to you, Naveen.
I don't experience any distracting vibrations at any speed. I feel you should not even think about vibrations, there is no other motorcycle in this category that offers more refinement..and hence I think one should be happy with the smoothness than complain about absolutely minor vibrations here and there. It's like is there any other motorcycle in this category that is more refined, you tell me?
Also, if you watch the video, you'll know exactly which gear to use at what speeds and maximum speed per gear.
My apologies for the late response. I am travelling at the moment.
I just got this beauty a month back and I must admit it is worth every penny🤍 Let it be the performance,the comfort level, the exhaust note, the mileage (range), that 15L tank is a saviour, I covered 200 kms early morning with a full tank, still half a tank remained which is just phenomenonal for me 😬
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Sandipan.
It is indeed a beautiful machine with many utilities 😃
I don't subscribe so fast normally.. but u gud man. Keep up the energy nd gud vibe bro... good luck
Thank you for your kind words, baba😃
I appreciate your time.
Have you ridden the speed 400, could you tell how these 2 compare with each other in terms of the attributes you takked about
Hello, Vipul. I have not ridden the Speed 400.
Speed 400 felt like an insane amount of torque, the bike isn't that enjoyable in the city as it feels too powerful and torquey personally. But the cb 350 RS was in control and I actually enjoyed it..
Super super awesome review 😁 Subbed to your channel....I just loved how you speak
I'm also planning to buy this bike in the next month and i just had one question
My usages are almost city and weekend long rides and i am a 5ft 11in Guy and i also don't prefer enfield because of Honda's awesome refinement.... So is this bike perfect for me?
Hello to you there, Vinay.
Thank you for your kind words, means a lot.
Your height will definitely help with low speed maneuvers. I believe the Honda CB350 RS is any day a better machine than the Royal Enfield.
However, I wouldn't call it a perfect machine..
if high speed, spirited riding is not your thing, if you aren't bothered with water splashing everywhere because of the size of the mudguard, if you are looking for a no-nonsense reliable machine -- pick the Honda CB350 RS. I swear you can rely on a Honda with your eyes closed...buy a Honda and the Ownership experience will include Peace of Mind at the top spot. The machine just performs... I have ridden it in almost every terrain - not one issue so far.
Also, riding to me is more like a passion..so all I care about is the fact that the motorcycle does what it is intended to do, that is take you places without repairs and additional headaches.. so in that context I believe there is no better 350cc machine than this.
Hope this helps :)
Bro i own cb350rs and falling in love everyday❤️😇....but lots of owners are complaining about wobbling issue after 5k kms ...now I am feeling little worried because I clocked 5500 km ...till now no wobbling for me but I am scared if it might start....what is your take on this😐
Hello there, Alan.
Yes, please. It makes you fall in love everyday.
Honestly, to this day I have never experienced wobbling issues, it's scary how some users are complaining.
My take - I don't know what to say about this, this is an unheard problem for a Honda machine.
I have this blind trust for Honda and so far I have had no reasons to complain.
My apologies for not knowing the solution, baba.

My pillion is genuinely a fit person.
In case your pillion isn't fit, you might want to consider, Highness.
Superb video bro very informative for me 👍
Did you face handlebar wobble issue? If yes, how did you resolve it?
Hello to you, Tanmay.
I don't experience any wobble issues as I ride my motorcycle with both hands on the handlebar.
Plus, I'm travelling at the moment, I have made some videos specifically on the wobble issue. . Will upload them in probably a month or two.
My apologies for the late response. I am travelling at the moment.
@@StallionRides thanks i appreciate it.
Thanks for your video! Can you tell me your height? Today i visited showroom and tested H'ness and RS. Leg position for long trip better in H'ness version. You use it for that perpouse also, so why your choice is RS?
Thank you for your question, Evgenius.
Here is my answer. I love long rides because I enjoy the process of riding. I feel the happiest when I'm on a motorcycle.
The leg position on highness is definitely more suited for long rides than the RS - however, I feel more connected with the ride on the RS.
Also, I'm 178cms tall without riding boots.
Brother is this bike feels heavy please reply i m thinking to buy this one
Weight management is extremely nice. It does not feel heavy when it’s moving.
If you are able to plant both legs on the ground, you should be good.
@@StallionRides thnks
Guys, please suggest good long lasting disk pads, chain sprocket for honda cb350. Hereafter i do not want to visit bigwing service center. I have found local mechanic. The service fees seems to be higher side.
Hello, Shashank. A subscriber recommended Versah Brake Pad, I haven’t tried them. You might want to check them out.
I'm super happy with my cb350rs. This is definitely a capable engine. Highway ride is super smooth till 110. Can reach 120 as well if the road is good.
But I feel the seat is not very comfortable, you can do a 150 kms continously after that you start feeling pain in the Butt... Could be because of a little narrow seat...
Hello there, Murali. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
In my opinion the seats of RS are much wider than that of the Highness. Also, 150kms is a decent riding distance in one go.. however, I have done over 350+ kms without a break and never had butt/back issues.
I feel the pillion seat could have been better.
A question - do you wear riding pants while doing long distance? I feel the riding pants help, in my case my butt gets a good cushion 😅
How did it perform in high altitude i mean was there loss of power or any thing of that sort. Starting problems in cold mornings.
Hello there, Vikrant.
Never had any loss of power, the gearing is different, you have to keep the engine on the right rev range. If you use the 1st gear till a speed of 30 in high altitude, and 2nd gear till a speed of 60..I promise you'll not feel any lack of power, the motorcycle just pulls.
One press on the start button and it goes boom, ever since day 1. It works in all weather conditions- cold, snow, even when it continuously stands in the rain for days at length.
Honestly, I never experienced a single mechanical issue with the motorcycle.
Hey, thank you for watching :)
@@StallionRides just saw one of the vlogs earlier this year where rider had power problems at high altitude, i checked with the dealership they informed that earlier there was a problem but now it has been resolved , thanks to you for your reply.
@@vikrantkaundal9148 Yes, please. Honda did an ECU update some time after the launch and that was fixed.
A suggestion, please. If you use the engine kill switch, then be mindful to allow it 3-5 seconds before pressing the start button. As the kill/start button is integrated a lot of times people press them both together without allowing the pause- this is a major cause of loss of power in high altitude. Just sharing.
Hi man, how many kms you've covered so far in this beast ? How's the engine performance now ?
31.8k km so far.
Engine performance has been consistent since I got it. If you are looking for a fast motorcycle, this is not the one. You could easily cruise at 100-110 kmph without a vibration though.
@@StallionRides great bro

Are u getting any kind battery problems?
Hello there.
I have not had any battery issues till date. Everything is perfect.
Please share in case you have experienced anything yet..
I have a concern of the suspension because many were saying that it was stiff. So Kindly share your review on the suspension as my requirement is to have the best suspension. My height is 5'8
I like stiff suspension. The stiffer the better. Stiff suspensions are a blessing for high speed stability, making high speed turns, etcetera.
During my second service, I got the suspension set up 1 level stiffer but got back to default stock settings during 3rd service, at low speeds you may feel the suspension is stiff but at speeds over 50kmph, the motorcycle glides over most potholes.
Does anyone have vibrations in the handle bar and mirror at 90 to 100 kmph
After first service of my cb350rs facing vibration issues. Any suggestions pls
Sorry, mate. Mine got smoother after every service.
Has engine sound got flat as compared to when bike was new? some are saying that raw sound gets flat after some time..
Hello there.
Yes, please. The sound ever so slightly reduced after the first service. It has stayed consistent ever since, no loss in sound since first service.
@@StallionRides ok thanks..
Hello brother is there is any rusting issue in honda Cb350?
Hello to you, Rajat.
I have not had rusting issues with my motorcycle, however, I know people who have had this problem majorly because of parking the motorcycle regularly in open area under the sun/wind/dust/ rain/smog, etcetera.
Some areas like the helmet holder lock, the inside of the silencer/exhaust, and the part where the silencer starts right below the right foot peg/brake area - that is also prone to rusting.
However, trust me, you'll not encounter any performance issues because of this and it's really not a deal breaker given how premium the quality of parts are.
Plus, if you keep your motorcycle in a covered parking, all will be good.
Hope that helps :)
@@StallionRides thanks bro

Can you suggest on this is it better to take RS or give extra 2000rupees for Hness and take Hness
Hello there, Shivaray.
I agree, 100%. Highness is more value for money.
However, in my case I did not feel a connect with the rider's traingle of Highness. I like the riding posture of the RS much better.
Here is an older response I gave to a gentleman who had a similar question.
Hope it helps.
Highness is value for money as it offers more features, however, I feel the RS offers a better riding experience and connect with the motorcycle.
When I test rode the Highness, I liked it, it was nice, however, didn't like the riding posture, - loved the engine and throttle response.
I like the rider's traingle on the RS much better than the highness, a slight stretch to reach the handlebars and slightly rear set foot rests offer much better control and feel. Plus, I love the tires, and the looks.
Honestly both are more or less the same machine. Highness has a relaxed riding posture , RS has a riding posture that my physique or length of bones like. So, I chose the RS.
My recommendation is to sit on the saddle. You'll know immediately what you like. I did.
@@StallionRides just one more doubt if go for style and look then Royal Enfield meteor and classic has more look then honda write
@@shivaraybadarabandi4657 My gosh!! Do you believe that?
Looks are subjective, baba. I love the RS, looks like a litre class motorcycle.
Can I give it to regular honda service centre instead of bigwing (its far from my home)
Hello there, Bred.
Unfortunately you cannot. The regular Honda service centre does not accept CB350 RS service or repair requests. They have strict quality control standards (Japanese way 😇). At present CB350 RS and above models can only be serviced through BigWing.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a local mechanic who could service the CB350 RS as the engine is not too complicated. However, I wouldn't recommend that, try and get the service done through BigWing at least for the 1st year of ownership to eliminate any technical faults that can be replaced under warranty. Post one year, you could always consider taking it to a local mechanic.
Hope that helps :)
I can understand your situation, Honda must really consider expanding their BigWing network.
@@StallionRides Thanks
After how many kms is the first service ?
@@jbr.1 1st service will be under 1000 km within a month from purchase.
After that every 6 months or 6000 kms whichever comes first.
Normally I'm sure you'll end up servicing the motorcycle every 4000km at least.
The first 3 services are free ( only labor charge is free 😅) post that, Honda has a high Labor charge every time you go for a service.
Still, the parts are premium and the maintenance is fairly inexpensive due to the reliability factor.
@@StallionRides right. I forgot to ask , any wobbling issues ? Or rusting issues ?
@@jbr.1 Wobbling issues - Yes ( at certain speeds only if you leave both hands and don't have the adequate tyre pressure ) else NO. It's an extremely stable motorcycle for that matter.
Rusting Issues - Nothing major or significant, it's not a deal breaker. If you have a covered parking, rusting won't be an issue.. else you might notice rust on the inside of the silencer or the part where the silencer begins right next to the right foot placement area.
Hope that helps.

Bro, how different is the highness from the RS? If someone is considering the highness, is he going to miss out on anything that the RS offers?
Hello, Mriganka.
This is an interesting question. You will miss out on the riding stance of the RS ( it's not sporty, yet sporty) - RS offers more connect with the machine, better handling, cornering and the rear set foot-pegs inspire confidence on twisties.
Plus, the RS has a fresh look ( I honestly love how the RS looks in person).
You'll miss out on the huge tyres that grip the road so well..
Both are in essence the same machine - the riding dynamics make all the difference for me.

Did you feel the need to install handle bar raiser in your bike??
I did a 100km ride yesterday on Pune Lonavala highway with one break at 50km and felt slight pain in my palm, could it be negated with installing handle bar raiser, or shall I put foam handle bar grips ?

Thanks for making review video which helped me choosing this bike, looking forward for more.
Hello there, Nikhil.
Congratulations on your purchase ✌️
I don't feel the need to install the handle bar raiser, I like the slight stretch to reach the handlebars. .plus installing raisers will definitely mess the handling dynamics of the motorcycle a bit.
Yes, baba.. you will get used to the posture in some days and your grip will keep getting better. As it's a heavy machine, it takes a little getting used to :)

Does higness have any rusting issues ?
Hello, Anand. Yes, it does. If you don't have a covered parking, there will be minor rusting.
Sir actually Honda is using non abs brake pads for this bike so that's why the brake pads are wearing out early, very early. Try versah brake pads for hness or cb 350 it works very nicely for longer period
