Bought hness in dec2020 for 2.28 lac with black chrome deluxe version. Even now it's a showroom like bike. Iam crazy about this bikes performance and durability. Done 33k kms, not even thinking of any upgradations as if now.
The dealer I bought mine was almost 500km from my place, basically it's in another state 😂 So, right after my deliver at the snowroom, next morning I drove back home for 500 km and it was an amazing experience.
@@LEADERSPACE and I was ready for my 1st servicing the next morning 😂..did mine in a honda red wing showroom by a guy who operates on CBR, and mine was his 5th CB350rs
I’ve been riding the RS for 2 years now. Close to 8K kms on ODO. The most refined in this class I should say. 80-100 kmph speeds is sweet spot that provides great ride quality and amazing fuel efficiency. 36-40 kmpl is easy ! The bike is solidly planted on road during highway touring. Brakes could be better so, change over to Vesrah brake pads and you are sorted ! I don’t ride in the nights so, never had an issue with Headlight throw.
Sir, I'm thinking of buying this but confused by reports that due to 'tall gearing' riding this bike in city traffic is painful....... what has been your experience. Thanks Sir
Bro please clear my doubt and reply me, may be this is my last bike to purchase. I'm looking for touring purpose 80% tour and 20% city riders. What about this bike performance in highway and hilly areas. Should I go with cb350rs, duke 250 or speed 400. I'm looking to enjoy ride, feel the bike and also good for pillion.
I have done around 550kms at stretch with my beauty ! Apart from the bum pains , honestly amazing touring bike. And superb mileage if you maintain 100-120 kms. Probably will add an air seat next time. No vibrations, doesnt at all wobble at high speeds. Use 5th gear only to maintain and cruise your speed.
I did 850 kms in single day with an air seat just to protect my bums. Had a uniform performance during the whole journey. And even after that the bike works just fine.
I have done 300km to kodaikanal from my place Kodungallur in a single stretch.I got little bit tired when I reached but I was okay by the next day morning..this is far better tan Himalayan which my friend was riding he had some hip pain after the entire journey.
@@sidhutim5189bro I'm from paravoor too planning to get a cb350rs..is it worth it. I need a mellow bike not over the top but can take me to the mountains during the weekend
Own highness since 2021, 26000km done. It's worth every penny. Have ridden classic reborn, meteor, hunter, himalayan 450, interceptor, all jawa bikes, since then to cross check if any of these are better than highness. Conclusion: highness is the best of all. PS: i also own a RE. 2014 Thunderbird 500.
Sir, I'm thinking of buying this but confused by reports that due to 'tall gearing' riding this bike in city traffic is painful....... what has been your experience. Thanks Sir
How does tall gearing affects riding in city? It's the short gear ratio which makes it bothersome in city because one has to keep changing gears@@drchaturvedi
I found your channel a while back and i must say all your review videos are so informative and to the point. Your channel is one of the best for Motorcycle enthusiasts.
As a person who is owning the Highness since almost 2 months, I can confirm that the headlights are extremely poor. They instill very low confidence while riding at night. The second problem for me has been the seat which I find a bit uncomfortable for long haul. Engine refinement on the other hand is Godly. But Highness now has serious competition from RE Bullet 350 (2023) which provides almost same level as engine refinement as Highness. So, I guess Honda might need to put in work for people to still go for Highness and RS.
RE J series 350cc engine is refined but can't be compared to Honda CB350. Honda had zero vibrations from 80 to 100. RE is smooth only till 75-80 max. Take a test ride if you don't believe.
@@RRP1992 I did take a test drive few days ago and it didn't feel like a Royal Enfield at all (in a good way)! I was taken aback by how refined the engine was. I could drive it at around 80-90kmph and it felt butter smooth👌
@@sameerkharade7750 that's surprising. Then maybe the Hunter I rode wasn't maintained all that well. I own a CBR250R since almost 12 yrs. It feels smoothest at 80-85 kmph. Then I rode a highness and it blew me away by how smooth it felt at those same speeds. Couldn't imagine a single cyl bike being that smooth. Then when I rode hunter, it felt smooth till about 75 kmph but after that it felt stressed slightly.
@@RRP1992 Highness makes you feel like you're gliding in the air. That's how nicely refined it is. If this how smooth the single cylinder is, imagine how smooth would a twin cylinder be. Proud Highness owner since two months and Honda has done great justice to the bike and its name
I rode two bikes, new gen re classic and Honda CB...not comparable with Honda engine refinement with RE classic...Honda is superior in refinement....I agree with ur opinion for head light of Honda CB 350...it doesn't give confidence at night, need an auxiliary light...coming to seat you need a good cushioning seat from after market...need d to improve the quality of brakepads...I am using Vesrah Japan ceramic brakepad now, its good quality....Hond need to improve the paint quality also...positives- good riding comfort, better handling, thumpy exhuast note, good milage, refined engine, traction controll and good braking with dualnchanel abs....
Bro the most accurate ,most beautiful ,most shortly made review of any bike ...all the points r up to the mark n answered everything all we needed in jst few minutes..well done N I own cb350rs since 4months now ..absolutely in love with this bike ..wt a beauty it is ..80kmph is like butter ... Its exactly like its name ..Road Sailing(rs)
Sir, I'm thinking of buying this but confused by reports that due to 'tall gearing' riding this bike in city traffic is painful....... what has been your experience. Thanks Sir
My brother owns this bike. For pillion, the seat is not too comfortable but manageable. The holding bars are not comfortable to hold on for long time. It will be more comfortable for the pillion to hug the driver and lean forward.
This bike is a boon for Japanese bike lovers. Good quality. Good looks. Its very fuel efficient. Can do 100kmph all day. Excellent excellent refinement which enhances the entire premium quotient of the bike. Happy owner of cb350rs
Brief explanation! Subscribed!.....Two bikes are in my mind, Speed 400 and CB 350 RS, my riding ratio between city riding and touring is 70 and 30 (70 city, 30 touring) most importantly i want a hassle free bike for Bangalore traffic. which would be better?
cb 350RS, my friend owns a speed 400 and it's not as good as it's being appreciated in reviews. Only thing better in speed400 is the power. Which can be a lot for regular traffic or commuting. Not always necessary to have so much power so cb350RS serves the purpose well. Speed400 doesn't sound that great and heats up quite a bit. I'm personally thinking of buying cb350Rs Too
Cb350rs. I’d like to add that the clutch is really light, so you’ll be comfortable in bumper to bumper traffic plus this returns a better FE than a triumph.
Sir can we manage without back tyre hugger. Like my doubt is if bike gets dirty can we wash on daily basis at home itself. I read washing regularly might spoil the electrical sensors. I usually dont like the hugger. Kindly suggest me your opinion sir.
Hello everyone I had purchased Honda cb 350 recently unfortunately I met with an accident n left my bike in Banashankari Bangalore Bigwing showroom for repairs !! Itz been month plus still I hvnt got my bike ! Called coustomer care many times none of them revert back!! Visited showroom several times they r telling fuel tank assembly has to come frm Rajasthan n they r delaying it !! My question is does it take one and half month to manufacture a fuel tank by Honda?? Honda is know for reliability and easy availability of spares .. tried mailing official Honda but none of the mail IDs are valid !! Anyone plz help me wat I can do next so that my concern reaches honda!!
I am seeing this video in 2024 and I am one of the guy who had frequently used this machine...130 is an overkill it would take some time unless u kill the machine
As a H'ness owner, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for any serious touring (300+ kms a day). It is way too underpowered for an open highway. I fell for the engine refinement etc. but ultimately power is what you need to tour. This may be at best a city bike.

I bought it for 2.38L ... 2 years ago
@@basimshaji6085 me too♥️
Really? I don't think it is worth more than 2L.

Just straight forward video❤, Others keep stretching the topic towards the end😅
It didn't "take" so much of our time. Thank you 😊

you could always attach a back rest and lean back on to it
Beautiful videography....i have the red one but the blue one is looking beautiful...can you tell which camera set up you're using and it's price?
Beautiful machine + a reliable work horse 😁❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥‼️‼️🌟🌟

Bought Highness last month and enjoying the ride now 😊
How's it now?
Thanks for the touring review.
Can we consider the same touring aspect for highness also?
Hiness will be little (negligible ) better for touring
Yes. As the person above said, Highness is infact better slightly. Pillion seat area is larger. So a backrest would help even more.
And also footpegs are slightly forward compared to RS which makes more comfortable for your back and driving experience

Speed 400 is better out of the two slightly. But if I were in your place, I would have gone with cb350, this bike looks like big bike unlike speed 400

idk but it feels anurag solankar(making vid on triumph speed 400) and strell(making viid on Honda cb350) is competing
The video is good when You don't want the video to end.
How are the mirrors? They look similar to Hunter 350 and I was only able to see my elbows throughout the ride.

Lovely short snd simple review..
you got to reply to this comment is using yamaha v4 handle bar ok for this bike for riding comfort and is it even legal in india?
Bought it yesterday man...thank you for the review
I am not a RE fan so please help me to clear the confusion 🤔
>Mavrick 440
>Triumph speed400
>CB350RS (blue hue )
which one should I go for ?
CB350RS value for the buck
Honda Cb350 rs or Triumph scrambler 400x
which one will you choose @strell?
valid question, kind of in the same spot rn
Any news from Honda for upcoming cb 350 or any bikes , are heard anything ?
Best thing about it is, no vibration at full rpm
I rode around 1700 kms to and fro with a pillion. Just minor bum pains nothing else. Gel seat is all it needs.
No nonsense to the point video. God bless you 🤍
hi strell plz guide me on purchasing good riding gears
Is it a good upgrade from re classic 350
Nice bro . Have you ever came to TKM engineering college in Kerala at kollam district?
Hai strell plz reviev between n160 vs Apachee 4v..... Which is best
For performance 4V but overall N160 .. Awesome braking and build quality
Hai strell plz reviev between n160 vs Apachee 4v
Video for comparison between cb350 rs and hunter 350 please
how is it for city riding , my height is 5.6''
i bought this youth offer for 2.47 lakh on road definitely a good choice🥰
Bro any color fading issue?
Please do all the kits, cafe racer , touring specially

That's was quick but onpoint
They don't sell it in Malaysia...
Can put on a top box?
I am seeing this video in 2024 and I am one of the guy who had frequently used this machine...130 is an overkill it would take some time unless u kill the machine
Hai strell plz review Apachee 4v
Hai strell plz review n160
Is any wobbling Problem on 60 to 90 km/h ?
I saw some videos in TH-cam.
m not facing any till now
Can put on lower pegs
How much I will spend on petrol monthly if I run 3 km daily?
500 probably
I see an F1 Radio Msg tune added to the video
Had to scroll a long way down to find this comment! Glad to see that someone else has noticed it too :)
Did you buy this motorcycle?
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi bro Can You Please Review latest Ntorq 125
Brother yezdi scrambler update version review please
Can it reach real 130 km/h?
Design here is what they should have done on the cl500
Do a video on Harley x440
I bought the grey one. Now blue looks good too in the video.😢
Get that one as well😂
Change the tank and side panels 😂
Lol yeah 😂 I was thinking how much would it cost for a tank repaint. I will change it to the Japanese colors
I thought grey is best colour over other colour.
You are again and again teasing me to buy this beauty..But I love the Highness More..
I heard from many people about handle wobbling issue. Does this bike’s handle really wobbles?
Owner here for the past 9 months, done 3 tours and multiple morning & night rides, etc. Haven't faced any wobbling issues till now
Handle wobbling? Never.
Done almost 5k in long touring (4 tours) without any issues.
Where is xmr review?
Blue is awesome ❤
There's no charging port.. that's a huge drawback as a tourer
Looking forward to Duke 390 touring review, Strell!
dise rs have paint chipping and rusting isiues
Worst part is that..
No Honda bigWing showroom in my home district
Does this splatter muck from the back on rainy day
hi ah Harley 440 onnu review cheYAMO
You forgot to mention about wobbling issue brother
Solved in E20 variants
What’s the top speed that you are getting?
We are waiting for RTR 310, for this week
The sound.
മലയാളി 🎉😊
As a H'ness owner, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for any serious touring (300+ kms a day). It is way too underpowered for an open highway. I fell for the engine refinement etc. but ultimately power is what you need to tour. This may be at best a city bike.
But people are saying it can do 150 kmph speed
100-110 kmph is less for you?
Also, which Indian roads let's you constantly do 120+?
nice video bro. One request: can you do a review of Benelli 502c? Thank you
Amazing bike...❤❤
Today i clocked 29000km on my Hness. From 🇳🇵
•Team Honda choked at headlight .
•Brakes could have been more sharper ..it lacks that bite on emergencies
•Need to adjust (tighten up) chain on every 600+ kms.Gets quite noisy especially on monsoon.
# Is it good tourer?
Its a excellent machine for semi touring purpose…
I prefer only solo touring on this machine
i dont recommend it for a night ride..its very unsafe for night due to its low visibility headlights.
If you’re thinking about covering around 200 km a day then its very fine..
I boght it when i saw first time or we can say love at first site. That time she cost 2.2 lakh on road. Now she is 2.8 on road
No wobbling issue?
I have no wobbling issue with my Highness till...18 months covered 14000km...I always ride between 70-80 km/hr...no wobbling issue
My highness is amazing❤
Woobling issue
Big fan broo❤️
Having ridden CB350RS for 22000kms, i can give better review of the bike
Pros
1) smooth engine
2)easy clutch
3) good build quality
4) Good mileage 36-38 kmpl
Cons
1)Not good ergonomics
2) Suspension is very hard
3)Seat is not suitable for long drive
4)Service charge is very high compared other bikes in 350 segment.
Verdict : its better to buy some adventure bike for long touring like Himalayan with good ergonomics,good suspension and less service charge.
Mojo or CB350rs !
CB
Mojo
❤❤❤❤❤❤
F1 radio ring for spec display 😂
ट्रायंफ gives double hp in 20k more
Worth under 2 lakh
Only major problem most owner are reporting is Handle Wobbling at certain speed
❤
