Thanks for your excellent review.i've also purchased this bike anniversary ed.last january '23 and i've run it appx.9000km.it's very nice.ive gone through highway as well as off-road, never face any difficulties though i'm 60years.
Thanks Sir 😊🙏. Indeed this is a good bike, hats off to your passion towards motorcycling 🫡
Debu da namaskaar. I'm 5'10" and 55 years young and medium built. Do you feel this bike would be a good choice. Kindly advise. Thanks 🙏.
@@ravishankarrs8018 I am not such a big expert to advise Sir, but yes at nearing 50 and 5.6 ft, i felt it a better suited for me, as my riding style is mostly Sporty. I loved my old CBR 250r more than Kawa Vulcan 650. The only concern may be for you is your height. U need to take a thorough Test Ride, and mostly that u ll not get from BigWing. If you are on any Metro City, then perhaps you can try hiring a CB350 Rs and once CB Highness for may be a day and find the comfort and which one suits you best 🙂. A 100 kms drive through highway, city traffic, a little bit bumpy roads should give you a fare idea. Might be worth concentrating your leg position while sitting, for long rides, back pain if any, and especially for RS may be any numbness on your right Palm and/or Thumb.
@@ravishankarrs8018DEFINITELY, very responsive machine
I too thought this does have tall gearing for the city. But now i made changes to my driving style, and is able to harness it. Its a good bike for sure
Yeah, indeed it’s a good bike. Tall gearing leads to changing gears more often, however, the clutch and gear shifting is smooth hence these things compensate👍🏻
Today I took it on Bangalore s nice road. At 4th gear we can do 80 speed without bad vibs. Only good vibs. Also took off road in Bannerghatta forest area... Man this bike can easily take some off-road smoothly. End of it, it returned 36/37.
@@kalyannnBH totally agree and I am from Bangalore too..
Bought honda 350 18th August 2023 , done 1000km , daily commute in city around 60-70km there is a learning curve , good bike very comfortable ,
Yes good bike 👍🏻
Service cost
@@gaurawdwivedi9150 approx around 2800 around six months or 6000km
Milage?
@@gaurawdwivedi9150 approx 2800- 3000
Honda has programmed 2nd gear for efficiency which makes 2nd gear power delivery week unlike other bikes . Bike on 2nd gear with 40 kmph gives 40 kmpl which is un believable considering 350 cc engine .
Right..
Just bought yesterday, was amazed by 2nd gear speed
Bought this bike on 6th August. Completed 1100km so far and the first service has been completed. Great experience so far.
👍🏻
Bhyi got it at the same time!
@@yash3623 Bhai mileage kaisi mil rhi hai ?
Excellent review ! Dividing the mileage in zone wise is a great way to present the actual mileage in various conditions. Altitude climbing challenges very well presented too !
Thank you for the great content !
Thanks brother ☺️
Last year I along with my Son, went all the way from west Delhi to Gurgaon to take test ride of this bike( right now having Thunderbird 2017 model) we both liked it’s ride quality smoothness and power….. no doubt great bike
Great 👍
Thank you very much, very beautiful video, the topics, the explanation and the perfect footages, all perfect. Your voice is nice too, crisp and clear. Great job. 20 hours on the saddle, you deserve respect buddy😎🙏
Thanks brother ☺️🙏
Amazed to ride this rev loving engine.. right speed at right gear you get what you want neither lower nor upper gear just ample speed at the right gear makes this bike very comfortable and consider installing handle bar raisers and make the seat comfortable for long rides these two adjustment makes this bike top notch.
Yeah, indeed this is a good bike 👍🏻
Beautiful machine ❤ + a reliable Work Horse 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️💯💯
Agreed 👍🏻
First of all thankyou for your wonderful review. I have own this bike and use it for daily commute. I am running it for last 7 months and it has made me understand about itself. Initialky I was very uncomfortable with it but over the time I have overcome and understood its features and performance. I am really happy with it...
Thanks, have a great ride 👍🏻
6:38 650 Kms 20 Hrs journey .... Humbly Subscribed 🙂
🙏 thanks ☺️
Nice video sir🎉🎉 I am planning to buy highness 350 but is it better option than Triumph speed400, pulsar ns400z, hero Maverick 440?plz sugest
Thanks brother. Sir, this totally depends upon ur purpose. More or less all the bikes are good.
Highness being with least power figures, will have better mileage, though other bikes will provide an option to cruise on higher speeds..
Hence, only your purpose can provide a right choice to you
I regret giving away my H'ness CB350(Anniv. Edition) to my Uncle, and got CB350 RS for myself. Man, i am convinced now that H'ness is far better than RS. I rode Hness for about 4000 kms and assure everyone that it is next level experience.
On other hand, RS has wider rear tyres and sporty look and slight leany posture , but upon offroading in slippery mud, i realise the downside, the tyre just doesn't have any grip. It just slides(sideways) on mud, and not to forget the impracticality like too short fenders and uncomfortable pillion seat.
On other hand, Hness having proper highway tyres still manages the same offroad mud with less effort., Plus it is more practical and very comfortable for pillion as well, unlike the RS.
👍🏻
Bro RS is a looker and honestly it is not for pillions
Try these tires, i believe your experience will be better with RS 350 ... Front : Michelin Scorcher 31 100/90 R19 & For rea r : Pirelli Diablo Rosso II or my Fav Angel GT II and i would prefer upsizing a bit to 160/60 r17. The real problem i felt after 2-3 months of my new CB 350 RS is the low and mid torque delivery of the bike, and it just feels it does not move if u r looking for a sudden overtake .. Hence planning to go with Powertronics and a FulesX addon to see if that helps better power delivery and mileage as well .. Last will be to add a Performance Exhaust :-)
Bro i have total reverse experience on RS. I have done mainly off-road ing on my RS and honestly it did very well even in comparison to ktm adv 390 during that trip. I have rode my RS in jungle trails and in river and it just cruises in any terrain smoothly. Plus a lot of jumpings too I have done on it. Although I swapped the stock handle bar to a high rise RD 350 handle bar which has made my city, highway commutes and off-road look very simple.
Beautiful machine + a reliable work horse 😱‼️❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥🌟🌟

If You Want the Best Performance Try Motul 7100-10W40 and Abro Oil Treatment
we have to adjust our riding style according to the gear patterns, which makes you love this bike...
Agreed 👍🏻
I have purchased this bike today only and let me tell rather thank you very much for your brilliant review, it has indeed boasted my confidence in this bike now.
Thank you bro, keep up the good work❤
Thanks a ton brother ❤️. Enjoy the ride 🙌
Speed 400 is short stroke.. engine sound and performance is different.. also will give much less mileage than cb350
If you're okay cruising on the highways at around 100 kmph cb350 won't disappoint
Agreed, we have to change the gears comparatively more often. Still it doesn’t bother much because clutch and gear shift is smooth. Though, have seen few videos for Triumph, looks very promising.
Cb350 is different category bike than triumph. Triumph needs to hold it's ground for few years to prove reality.
CB-350 Can Reach Till-140 Very Easily
Cb350 can cruise at 110 as well with ease
Thanks, i was thinking to buy this bike and this video helped alot 👍
Great brother, happy riding 👍🏻
Which bike do you prefer for spiti trip Royal Enfield 350 classic or Honda 350 hness .which one is best as per your experience....??? Interms of fuel efficiency, balancing , riding , comfortable,
I like Highness more in terms of reliability and performance. Regarding comfort, I feel that RE has an edge. Though Honda has launched latest CB350 which has improved a lot in terms of comfort.
Yes whatever all points you have explained to buy Honda Hyness are absolutely correct. Thank you very much for that.
Lekin Royal Enfield ke comparison se Honda H'ness mein kaisa lag Sabse Important Seat comfort & hamara Seating position kaisa hain ? aur Suspension? And pillion comfort kaisa hai Sir ji ?
Plz Explain......
Kyonki maine mere Sevier Back pain aur neck pain ke wajase abhi 2 saal pahele Yamaha FZ-S v3 purchased kee thee lekin mujhe utna comfort nahi mil paya aur mera pain bhi jaisa tha waise hi hain balki ab thoda badh gaya hain so isiliye main bhi abhi Honda H'ness Purchase karne ki soch raha hu... kyoki H'ness ka Weight 181 kg tho hain lekin Honda ne Weight Distribution bohot hee accha aur perfect kiya hain.. isileeye maun lene ki soch raha hu aur thoda confused bhi hu....
Sir, aap ek baar Honda CB350 (Recently launched), isski test ride lo. This is very comfortable as compared to Highness or RS.
Apart from that in Royal Enfield, Meteor definitely offers good comfort. Please watch the below video, in which I have compared Meteor and Highness in all aspects:

Thanks for the review. Planning to book this bike this week - use cases city/ family trip + weekend off-roading. I see you've a nice carrier box. Do we need to ask for any specific accessories? We have plans to putting soft backrest.
Hey brother, all accessories listed in video below: th-cam.com/video/9aTK71t_H7U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=v1XWUmYjeMHXEXWm
th-cam.com/video/GfIKPHd7tRQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iGBw9V9Vm3ThWgWS
Apart from that, for soft backrest, Honda’s own backrest looks good 👍🏻
How is Higness in comparison with Bullet ? I have a Bullet(Electra), should I consider or go for some other ? What do you suggest ?
Sir, this is not a very big update if you already own Bullet Electra. Just that you get some additional features. So, if your existing bike is in good condition than no need to change.
Except servicing cost, everything is fantastic with Honda Highness 350. In my first servicing I paid around 2800/- and in second servicing I paid 8000/-. And I ride in Delhi only.
Sir, this is unbelievable. What parts got changed? In my case, I have got the Chain and Brake pads replaced after 16,000 kms. Apart from that, only normal service is sufficient. Normal free service ranges from 2000-2200 Rs.
Hi, thanks for your excellent review.
Can you help me choose between meteor 350 and highness.
Basically need for solo daily travelling city and highways.
Looking for rider comfort, safety and latest features.
Honda Highness any time
Hi, thanks for appreciating the video. Personally I found Highness more appropriate because its maneuverability is easy as compared to Meteor.
Thanks for the information...
Sir, long trip (ladakh, spiti) if there is a problem with bike, then how can I manage it? Because service centre is very less.
Please share your opinion....
Sir, there is RSA (Road side assistance), however I have not yet faced any issue in which had to use RSA. Apart from that in case of any emergency situation we will have to take help from local mechanic, apart from that we may seek help from RE service Center as well. Just carry few spares like clutch wire, break wire, chain sprocket, spark plug etc.
Hello sir firstly great video
I am confused between Royal Enfield classic 350 and higness honda because both seeems to be similar bike in most of the aspects i just need the best engine peformance
Can u aslo tell between triumph scrambler and honda cb350 rs
Overall i just want to purchase best motorbike in that range
In all expect like servicing and Performance
Can u pls help me in that ?
Hello brother, triumph, I have no idea about. As compared to RE, I feel CB350 is better in many aspects. Engine refinement, pick-up, smooth gear shifting, light clutch, better mileage.
RE is better in terms of service network, which may help in little less maintenance cost.
Still in terms of overall quality, I feel Honda is better.
Moreover, Highness is more comfortable than RS. So, is the purpose is to use it for long rides then Highness. Else you may choose RS
@@ghumakkadbhatiaThank You so much brother ..
Thanks Sumit for sharing your honest feedback.
I have one small query, I am planning to purchase a bike. My height is 6'3 Inches, weight is 104 kgs. I took a test drive of highness 350 & CB 350. I enjoyed both of them but according to my weight I think CB350 would be a great option for me bcz it is more muscular than highness but the issue is I didn't liked CB350 thump sound whereas highness thump is superb.
Could you please advise or guide me
Hello brother, actually you have asked a very tough question 😊 because both the bikes are same, just minimal changes.
I try to simplify, RS is bit sporty, has a little aggressive seating posture and a broad rear tyre, which gives more confidence while manoeuvring especially at higher speeds. On the other hand, Highness has bit straight and comfortable seating posture which you can manoeuvre at high speeds but still RS has an edge in this aspect.
However, Highness would be better for long rides, moreover has wider and bigger pillion seat.
Since, I was clear that I love to ride for very long durations hence, I chose Highness. If, riding at higher speed was my first priority, then I would have gone for RS 😊
Hence, make your decision as per your utility. Hope, it helps. Still in case of any doubt, never hesitate in connecting with me 👍🏻
I am 6 ft tall guy. 1 year 9k driving hness 350. I will recommend hness 350.
Bhaiya mei cb350rs lene ka soch rha hu.. but bigwing showroom 350km dur hai.. kiya iska servicing normal honda showroom mei v ho sakta hai? In that case is it good to purchase!
Sir mujhe new bike Lena h confused hu konsa lu please suggest me...
Hunter 350, cb 350 or TVs Ronin ?
Inme se konsa lu or Main important agar resale kare toh value kiski h jyada?
Please 🙏🙏🙏
Sir for resale value, RE will be best. I don’t think Ronin is a great buy in comparison to these 2 bikes. Hunter and Honda both are good, just go for a test ride for these bikes back to back on same day. As per the test ride experience decide 👍🏻
Thank you
Excellent review. Very informative.
Thanks ☺️
Many videos say service center guys chain sprocket change karne kehte hai after 3rd service which is expensive. Did u ever have to change it? If yes how much did it cost u? To prevent service center cost wat do u recommend? Also CB 350 parts are not available in local market
Hello, no I haven’t faced any issue like this yet. At 16k km, I got the chain changed which costed around 1300 Rs. and, have never tried getting any kind of service outside the service center, apart from getting the chain clean and lubed. Moreover, I am not comfortable getting it serviced anywhere else apart from the Bigwing service center.
Hello Ghummakad bhaiya
I’m purchasing this bike and the sales person told the bike color which I want that is currently not available in our city Ahmedabad but this is available in Rajkot which is 220 kilometres away from ahmedabad and he told me
if you want the bike our person can ride the bike to ahmedabad which they usually do they mentioned
Please respond would that be an issue if I ride this 200+ kilometres in engine running in period for that much long or do you recommend me to wait until it arrives in ahmedabad which would be like a month more
Please response as you are also a highness owner ❤❤
Love your videos is topic pr bhi charcha krte h
Hello brother. You may ride 200 km if you are comfortable 👍🏻
Daily use and off roading dono k liye sahi hai ye bike right..?
Yes
Can u please clarify my confusion between CB350 & RE meteor 350 ?
Which one has better comfort for back posture & knee support on long drives? Which one is better in handling?
Took test drives of both bikes
I’m 35 M
Any experience raiders pls clear my doubt. This will be my first bike
Sir, seating posture is absolute personal choice. Though I feel that meteor has much wider and comfortable seat, still I bought CB350 because in meteor our legs are stretched towards front a bit, due to which I was not finding it suitable for me to manoeuvre (again, extremely personal choice). I found CB350 better in following points: better pickup, engine refinement, light clutch, better sound, smooth gear shifting. Meteor is better in following points: gearing ratio is good, u need not to change gear very frequently. Service network is far better than Honda. Availability of spares in after market is also better. Hence, both the bikes have their own pros and cons, I bought Honda because it was appealing me more.
@@ghumakkadbhatia thank you for your reply
Hi. I am getting 2nd hand bike 2021 model 19k kms run for 1.45L should i go for it? New models mai kuch changes hue hai old model k comparison mai?
Not major changes, aap khareed sakte ho purani bike. Just check the condition and service record with Honda service center..
@@ghumakkadbhatia old models mai kuch problems aa rahe the jo new models mai honda ne rectify kiya hai. Aisa suna hai maine. Is it true?
Bike seems far better than RE. But the big problem is limited service centre availability. Local mechanics also not available in market.
Yes, bike’s service center is a problem …
I was planning to buy Honda CB 350 but now have changed my mind, #honda #rectifythproblems

Broooooo LITERALLY THE BEST REVIEW ON THE TH-cam 🤌🤌🤌🤌
IM GONNA BUY THIS BIKE SOON 😍😍
Thanks brother…sure you will Njoy the ride 👍🏻
Nice review....problem you have faced at high altitude climb in kaza to komic is mainly due to tall gearing of this bike . I have one question...does this bike require constant gear change between 1/2/3 gear while climbing hill in lower altitude terrain also...like when you will going towards narkanda ....or from karcham dam to sangla
Check the ECU update....it was present in old CB 350s😊
@@imposter-m8x in this video he was not referring to power loss problem of highness at high altitude. He was facing problem that he have to keep his bike in first gear during climbing till 30kmph
Thanks brother. Actually, yes, we have to switch gears. I mean, while going on mountains, to give sufficient power, we need to use -1 gear. Example, in plane terrain. If we can have good pickup at 3rd gear, then while climbing, we will get pickup at 2nd gear. Though, this thing actually did not make much of difference (atleast for me), just because gear shifting and clutch, both are very smooth.
@@ghumakkadbhatia thanks for th clarification man....ladakh trip this year ?
Its a cruiser. So perfectly runs at any speed and gear
Brother all cb350 variants give same mileage? Or rs is different
I think almost same mileage..
Is it tough to maintain its matt colour??please reply
No, not faced any issues yet..
excellent review man for this bike my friend has this bike I rode his bike felt very good on this cruiser bike
Thanks brother ☺️🙏
Bhai apka thoda help chahiye to select a bike.. please reply.. i did test ride on this bike for around 2km, the seat felt comfortable for me.. are you saying royal enfield is more comfortable than this? Please help me select which one to buy
Hello brother. This bike is comfortable, however, seat is little hard. I wish slightly more cushion should have been provided RO seat.
Regarding RE, you may say that’s Classic has comparatively comfortable seat due to its cushion. Still, I liked Honda more because of many other factors which I have already have already explained it n this video. Below 2 videos will help you have more clarity:
Honda Highness vs. RE Classic:

th-cam.com/video/aSEixBkfF6s/w-d-xo.html
Bro are you facing wobbling issues and vibration on handle?? And handle getting heavy every month??? If yes whats the solution
Brother, I am not facing any such problem. Though, I started facing wobbling issue, but when I got it checked it was because of tyre alignment got problem. I got the front tyre changed within warranty period. This issue got resolved.
Long road raiding performance of Highness batter thn classic 350 bs4 or bs6 ?
Sir, can comment about Highness as have rode the same for 18k kms. This is a durable bike in every condition so far. However, for Classic can’t comment about durability, though had a test ride and found highness more refined, better pickup, better clutch and gear etc.
Bhai as I am literally confused while making decision between meteor 350 or honda hiness, so can you please suggest which one is the best ?
Brother, I found cb350 slightly better in below aspects: engine refinement, mileage, seating posture, pickup, clutch, gear, exhaust sound. Meteor is better in below aspect: seat quality, service network. Overall, in my opinion, I would give more weightage to Honda CB350!
Cb350 best h ya 350RS ..? Confused hun dono me
Sir dono equally good hein. The only difference is seating posture. If purpose is long touring then Hness seems better because of its more comfortable seating posture
I personally Prefer the branding of ROYAL ENFIELD....
IF there is any Major advantage of buying honda over RE.... then I'll go for honda....as you have used bikes of both the brands so help me out....
Or is there a specific RE among the four (hunter, Classic , Meteor, new bullet)....
Honda’s advantages: Better pickup, smoother engine, better manoeuvreability, super light clutch, smoother gear shifting and great exhaust sound.
RE’s advantage: better brand value, great service network, better quality of seats, as found Honda’s seats a bit hard. Service cost might be little low as compared to Honda and also the availability of spares is better.
As per me, if someone is able to manage Honda’s service network issue, then as a bike Honda is better, else RE is evergreen.
@@ghumakkadbhatia thanks........these differences will certainly help....
Sirjeee...Honda Hiness or Bullet classic 350??
Hness if Bigwing service center is in your city or may be at 1-1.5 hours distance..
Which should I buy hunter or highness pls suggest I am really confused
Brother, I have preferred CB350 over Hunter because of below reasons:
Better pickup, smoother engine, very light clutch, very smooth gear shifting, better seating posture.
Would suggest if Honda Bigwing service center is near your home, then Honda is better!
@@ghumakkadbhatia I have taken test drive also no doubt it is better re hunter but thinking about the service center and service cost
no doubt the bike is better than hunter but what about the service i heard its high becuase the sales person was telling me that it is very low cost to maintain this bike @@ghumakkadbhatia
Should I buy this or the Honda cb350 rs , which overall is a better bike??
Sir, both bikes are equally good. Just that Highness is more touring friendly, hence will be comparatively more comfortable for long tours.
@@ghumakkadbhatia can you make a video comparing hness with 2023 cb350 Rs as now Rs also gets Bluetooth connectivity which was missing in previous generations.
Bro.. I m confused between classic and cb350. Since you rode both, which has better comfortable suspensions.. Been hearing cb350 is hard par mujhe test ride mein itna feel nahin hua
While my test ride I also felt that Highness shockers are hard. It has 5 step settings from hard to soft. And moreover while in my Spiti trip, I realised that these are appropriate as the balance is maintained well while on bad roads. Hence, my take is shockers are neither hard nor soft.
Apart from that, the video below will let u know my opinion about Classic vs Highness:
th-cam.com/video/VSlHS8BW6Dg/w-d-xo.html
bhai wobbling issue face hua kidhr kuch ab tk k ride me?
Bhai without luggage no wobbling. With a top box installed, it wobbles. Please check the below video for details:
Honda Highness Wobbling | Practically explained! #hondahighness #hondabigwing #bikereview
th-cam.com/video/RsIr3QDnHYg/w-d-xo.html
Hello sir, what do you 😢 think about the service cost between RE and honda? Which is actually cheaper because I've seen lots of words about the cheaper service cost in honda highness.
Brother, I don’t think that Honda’s service is cheaper than RE. Though I don’t have RE bike to compare, still I feel that Honda’s is little expensive considering it’s limited availability of service network and expensive spare parts..
Please advise Meteor or Highness which is better for me as 52 year old and I want cruiser’s bike
Sir, Meteor will provide more comfort for long rides. Hence, you may consider that because of comfort 👍🏻
Bro wobbling issue hai kya abhi bhi 2024 mein?
Brother, wobbling issue abhi meri bike mean aa raha tha, rear tyre bahut ghis gaya tha Issliye.
Kal tyre change karaya usske baad, it wobbles slightly when speed drops from 80 to 70, will be sharing the video soon..
@ghumakkadbhatia is it dangerous or manageable? Coz I am a new rider, learning to ride . Should I go for it? Otherwise, I'll look for another option . Please reply. I want a bike for all purposes .
Hi. I bought this bike and completed first service recently.
I tried cruising at 80-90kmph on 5th gear. On perfectly flat roads, it is ok. But even a slight upward road, speed drops quickly even if i give accelerator.
Is this just my issue or is it common?
Any solution?
This is common brother. If you want to accelerate, then you need to switch back to 4th gear. At 5th gear, it gets some acceleration only when you cross 95-100
Which year model? And is there any wobbling issue bro?
2022 model. No wobbling without luggage. Though when I install topbox then it wobbles at 70+ speed.
Dear Sir,
I understand that this bike's chain neede cleaning & lubing after every 500 km on average. So, do / did you do that on your tours by yourself?
Sir, during the trip, every 1200-1400 kms, I generally get this lubricated with machine oil (available with local mechanics).
I will be not using my bike for next 7days, what precautions i should take so that after 7, day's bike will work properly
Nothing 7 days will not matter. If ur worried just disconnect batteries.
7 days is very short time. Nothing will change. I often use this bike even after a gap of 35-40 days. No issues as such. Just ensure you clean the bike remove the dust properly before you ride it.
Hello, Need crash guard name which you have installed in your honda cb350
Thanks & Regards,
Vinay.K.S
Sir, details in below video:
th-cam.com/video/GfIKPHd7tRQ/w-d-xo.html
For a city ride in Bangalore with a height of 5 ft 7 inches & lean wt of 65 kgs, which is a better option.. Hunter 350 or highness 350 ?
Keeping in mind bumper to bumper traffic in Bangalore?
Sir, Hunter’s seat height is slightly less than Highness, around 10 mm. Would suggest have a test ride for both bikes back to back on same day. You will be able to find the practical differences. If seat height is manageable, then Highness is better buy considering Bangalore’s traffic. Which means you will be using the clutch more often, and Highness’s clutch is much lighter than Hunter’s!
Hlo! is there any wobbling issue? The previous versions of this bike suffered terribly from wobbling issue.
Brother, if we use top box by installing an extra carrier behind the bike, then it wobbles. Otherwise not.
@@ghumakkadbhatia Sometimes it gets necessary to install a small side box for day to day uses where you can carry your small accessories.
Are you not recommending installing that side box?
Very informative and thorough review! Thank you for your detailed inputs.
Thanks 🙏
How is the clutch? Is it lighter like the CBR 250?
The clutch is light, however no idea how is it in comparison to cbr250…
Sir highness n triumph 400 x scarmbler konsi lena chaiye
Sir, depends upon purpose. Triumph will deliver high speed, more power. Moreover, Triumph is considered as more premium brand. However, the seating posture on Triumph is more aggressive, which would be comparatively less comfortable vs. Honda. Due to powerful engine, mileage will be less around 15%.
So, if your purpose is long touring, then Honda might make more sense, as it will be more comfortable and deliver better mileage. If purpose is to have more fun to ride, more thrill because of high pickup and power, then Triumph 😊
Thanks sir but triumph scrambler is comfortable na sir
Bhai, if you could tell me about the mud splash on the ridwe wet roads and brakepad issue(frequent replacement needed?)
Bhai, mud splash installed from Honda service center itself. Brake pads, I got changed at 16k kms. People get it changed at 5k, 10k etc. Hence, brake pads wear and tear most likely depends upon everyone’s riding style.
mere pass b bike h, 45k run in 2 years, bad experience is service center......

Bro you faced any wobling issue with the front tire? Every one pointing out this issue when they raise the speed over 70 kmph
Brother, no wobbling in following conditions. If you are riding alone. If you are riding with pillion & if you are riding with luggage on pillion seat.
However, there is wobbling in below conditions. If you have extended any carrier behind the bike and you are using a top box. Science behind this is, as you put weight on that carrier, it affects the center of gravity of bike, hence it wobbles at certain speed (depends how much weight that top box has).
Below 2 videos will help you getting more clarity:

Can you specify the service cost of this vehicle.? In how much kms it have to be done and how much is the chain life . I recently saw one guy pointing out they he replaced 3 chain for 18,000 kms.
I bought my hness 6 months back, now I'm at 7000 reading but getting milage of 31 only. How can improve mileage
Sir, it depends upon various factors. Like riding in high traffic or low traffic. All you can take care of is that your bike should be on appropriate gear as per speed. Try use engine braking as much as possible. Tyre pressure, chain lubrication is also very important. If you ride till 90 kmph, it should be able to deliver 35+ mileage.
Sir great review especially video clips...
Thanks 😊🙏

@@ghumakkadbhatia Thankyou
Now X440 came...Honda worth to buy?
Sir, X440 seems to be promising on papers. Though, with higher power, we have to compromise on mileage. As far as comfort is concerned, have no idea how comfortable is X440, as have not taken the test ride yet. So, would suggest have a test ride for both, try to see how promising the service network is, and make a choice 😊
Hello Bhatia ji, pillion riding mein kaisi hai bike?
Hello brother. Pillion comfort is neither bad nor good. For long rides it would be challenging.
@@ghumakkadbhatia thank you 😊
Can someone tell me ? Which one is the best RE classic 350 stealth balck or RE Meteor 350 or Honda cb350 hness ?
I am confused between these vehicles
One suggestion, go for test ride for all these bikes and have the ride back to back on same day, you will get to know which you feel is better.
Performance wise, all bikes are more or less equal.
When I test ride these bikes in single day I personally liked Highness more, hence I bought this. And yes, till date I feel happy about my decision, nevertheless all bikes are in some or the other way good, hence choose which you feel for yourself is good..
Apne ECU update laea liya hai kya ? Is trip se pahle
This model is bought after the ECU was updated..
@@ghumakkadbhatia Ghumakkad bro, mene hness e20 version lia hai 15 din pahle, city me 27.5 kmpl ki mileage aur highway pe 30 kmpl ki mileage de rhi hai, mai full pelam pal style me chalata hu, high rpm. Is that alright? Aur jab relaxed way me chalau to City me 30 aur highway PE 33 de deti hai. Kya ye sahi hai ? Kya 1st service ke bad badhegi mileage ?
Bhai I am confused between Honda and triumph and I am from Faridabad only would love to meet you
Brother, have not been able to test ride Triumph yet. However, it’s power figures seem impressive. Though, with high power, will have to compromise on mileage part for sure. Would suggest, have a test ride for both the bikes back to back and then evaluate which suits u more as per your requirement 👍🏻
Great to know, you are from Faridabad too, can meet anytime. You may connect with me through Insta messenger 😊

Update your fuel injection mapping from the service centre
Ok
Any views on Brake pads? I've heard a lot of issues regarding it.
No issues found yet. Have ridden 15k kms..
@@ghumakkadbhatia after how many kms do you usually replace brake pads? And how much does it cost? Big Wing being a premium version does it cost more than other bikes?
Bro nicely described...... God speed
Thanks brother 😊🙏
*YES*

Im having classic 350 bs3 2016 and im planning to exchange to highness 350.problem is there are no service points around 250 kms. Can we service the bike in regular honda showrooms??? Plz suggrst.
No sir, this can only be serviced in Honda BigWing. So, if that service center is very from your town, then you should not consider this..
@@ghumakkadbhatia thangs for your valuable reply.
Thanks dear
400and Harley or honda me kiska engine or bike ok hi
Please
Bhai, abhi mujhe mauka ni mila ki mein Harley yaa Triumph mein se kisi ki test ride lu. But, inn bikes ki power figures bahut achhi hein. Toh inki mileage Honda ke comparison mein kamm hai. Agar sirf Honda ki baat karu toh mujhe Honda mein abhi tak koi issue ni dikha, that’s a good bike.
Thanks dear
Can you give same review but more detailed one for RE Classic 350?
Hello sir, actually I own this bike CB350, that’s why it is possible for me to give detailed review for this bike. For any other bike, since I will have to manage that for short duration from others, hence, review this much detailed will not be possible 😊
Hi.... Thanks for the view.... can you tell if it is having Break pad issue and have you got changed it in 12K Kms. Since in some of the videos it is said that its break pads gets tear off very soon in 5K - 6 K Kms
also comment on chain set as well
Hello, 12k km service was normal service for my bike. No brake pad or chain related issues found. May be depending upon everyone’s riding style, till now everything is fine for my bike ☺️🤞
I ride harsh ....my break pads changed at 9k...but a smooth bike no complaints ....my complaint is only for dynamic breaking like RE ...I own imterceptor too.
Well it does happen. I live in a hilly area. My front brake pads were gone at 3500 km
@@dhirendrapanwar7526 Thanks for update.... but now i have decided to go with Speed 400 after both bike test drive
Recently triump launched speed 400, I am confused now. Which is better cb350 or speed 400?
Brother, Triumph has got amazing power figures. And so far I have seen that in videos only. seems that has got amazing fit n finish, I feel that must be a fun to ride bike. The only thing is, that will offer less mileage than Honda Hness. So, eventually that cost and benefit analysis has to be done. Both the bikes are good in some or the other way. Just have a longest possible test ride for both, and take your call.
Why are you changed Leg Guard from BS Auto Accessories to Zana Motorcycles?
Sir, resin for changing this leg guard is mentioned in this video. Link: th-cam.com/users/shortskkqZSebyCr4?feature=share
Wow what a review...detailed and well articulated...all important points covered...good job.
Thanks sir 😊🙏
Sir long gearing ration city me problem deti he kya . Do we have to shift gears frequent
Sir, as compared to RE bikes, isske gear thorha frequently change karne parhte hein. However, mujhe yeh kabhi odd nahi laga because gear shifting and clutch are very smooth. Though, it depends upon what someone prefers, few people see this as a problem as well..
For me, it’s not a problem 😊
Sir iska wobbling issue please address kijiye.
Sir, this video will be helpful:

Hello sir , I had meteor 350 uptill St month which I sold it to cousin brother , I am currently planning to purchase Honda highness 350 deluxe pro chrome variant , but I have some doubt plz try to help me out , I belong to udaipur district of Rajasthan and in my town their is no bigwing showroom , i enquired in the Honda showroom they said they'll arrange the bike but I need to prepay no test drive nothing would be offered, secondly will their be service issues after the purchase as no bigwing showroom in the town , what should I do sir ❤️😔
Hello brother, if there is no Bigwing in Udaipur, then how far it is from your place? I believe if this is in range of 1 to 1.5 hours or may be within 2 hrs range. Then it is manageable because service schedule is every 6,000 km. So aapko bahut regular visit ni karna parhega. Lekin agar uss se bhi zyada dur hai, then I feel that will be little hassle. So, please evaluate if you are ok to take that hassle 😊.
Considering the size of the engine and a good pickup with great refinement the mileage of this bike is truly shocking. Its engine has been designed to long last. Now which brand dares to give a 10 years engine warranty. 😅
👍🏻
Hi any wobbling issue you faced at higher speeds without luggage? And which year model is your bike?
Hi, I bought this is 2022 model. Without luggage no wobbling at all.
@@ghumakkadbhatia Thanks for info
Its very good bike me also use it for last one yr
Yes indeed this is a good bike 👍🏻
Very clear to the point major aspects aspects covered,❤
