I'm Enfield Fan I bought my classic 350 in 2011...9 years of ownership. And 2 days ago i test drive CB350. That Bike put a wide smile on my. Honda CB350 is a absolute Charms For everyone who read my comment please test drive this bike once 🙏 please..
Hi, Could you please share your genuine review about this bike? In terms of economy, comfort, Maintenance cost, etc. How much do you spend monthly on this bike?
@@ViditKothari It's a good bike to have for city ride and occasional trips. It requires little bit attention about lubrication periodically. Feels good power while riding. Less fatigue for long time. Good for off-road but just need little bit care. Maintenance cost is bit more than Meteor but really worth it. Suspension are bit stiff which are good for off-road but not good for speed breaker so you need to shift gears in between at beginning, later you will learn to do it on second or even on third gear. I get average of 36.
After almost waiting for over 18-19 months I finally bought this bike. This bike doesn't feel heavy when you are riding it. I've just clocked it 200km and I'm not opening full throttle till 1st service. But I feel so comfortable, relaxed and that thump at 40, 50 kmph is just 🔥. Loving every moment on this black machine. 😍
The Indians seem to have a very honest genuine view of bikes . I respect that . I've got a harley and moto guzzi , had one bike under 750 cc out of about 20 . When I saw this bike I was impressed and it just felt a good bike . It appeals to me .
@@nevillecarvalho2040 Emborgo is an essential part because everyone one review at same time. Companies have to start embargo on personal videos as well. This is totally wrong.
Hey Guys, I just test ride CB 350, only few distance. Today. 1) Bike is really really lightweight as compared to 350cc. I felt like riding my previous Yamaha 150cc bike. 2) Pick up is just awesome, bike pulls very easily. 3) Excellent maneuverability, Handle is light you do not feel weight. 4) Gear position is different from Thunderbird so it took sometime to find gear twice. But I never ride any other bike in last five years other than Thunderbird so I had little problem. I can get use to it., will need practice. :) 5) I only went up to 60-70 kmph , there were no vibrations. But I would say one could easily ride this bike in city as well as highway. Incidentally I found one guy riding CB 350 on the way to Honda showroom and I stopped him in between. He took delivery yesterday only and he was also happy, bike is smooth and said there are no vibrations.
When a Tiger 1200 owner appreciates a small capacity bike and actually loves it....that says something about the bike. But Honda's going to deprive a huge population with sales and service confined to BigWing. Or maybe this is just a warning bell to the competition.
@@RANA-fb9qx not with this bike. They did kept in mind the legacy of this bike and modern features required. But still, I have one flaw where they did wrong with this bike. But still, a good quality bike.
I wouldn't go that far actually... CB350 seems like really well built machine but Honda also came out with the Stunner... The quality on that bike was much below Honda's standards.
Just watched 30+ min and didn't feel bored even for a sec. Idk why🙄 maybe it's the love for bikes or maybe how Abhinav expresses his reviews. Just love it ❤️
I was going to buy a RE Classic but then Honda appears with this beautiful bike, now I hope this bike can arrive here in America and get this lovely bike.
You are better off buying a current bike instead of waiting for Honda to sell this version in the US. It might not even happen because you already have Meteor. Why not check out the RE Interceptor? There are quite a few happy owners in the US. Head over to /r/royalenfield on reddit.
It doesn't comply with us emissions. This is a India specific motorcycle. Honda focuses on 750cc + motorcycles in USA because most people want big bikes.
First time saw your channel/review, instantly fell in love with the way you present. The tone, the demeanor, the calmness and the brutally honest review kept me hooked till the end. With these type of reviews, Honda should actually pay you. Want you to do a meteor 350 video too.

@@allanjacob5087 first, not every city has a BigWing. There is only one BigWing in Kolkata which is 40 kms from my place. 2nd, every BigWing has it's own service centre. If u buy a Motorcycle from a BigWing, you will have to service from it's service centre only. That's a monopoly. So, if I buy ir from Kolkata BigWing and later don't find their service satisfactory, I will have no choice. This is a big big set back.
@@allanjacob5087 Because BigWings are very limited in number. So if you are living in a small town you would not have access to one. Even people living in Delhi have to travel to Gurgaon to access a BigWing - Imagine that ! I live in Bangalore and the nearest BigWing showroom is about 40 kms from my home. Whereas the distance of other brand showrooms are as follows : Nearest RE showroom -> 4 kms Nearest KTM showroom -> 3.5 kms Nearest Bajaj showroom -> 1 km. Nearest Suzuki showroom -> 6 kms Nearest Yamaha showroom -> 5 kms Nearest TVS showroom -> 4 kms
First time seeing this beauty on the road. I'm impressed with the bike and your honest review. Thanks. This small bike is going to be my first Big Bike.
After watching you ride it in the city I think you could have dropped down a gear the whole time and had a better experience. I agree with you the sound is amazing I loved it too. I think this might be the perfect city bike for me, and we all should realize that our own riding techniques are ours, and ours alone. I currently have a 650 Vulcan S and Love it, but it's not a "City bike" by any means. Great review I have come to appreciate your reviews as real-life riding experiences. I live in the Philippines and we have the complete opposite comparisons when it comes to Honda dealers VS. Royal Enfield. there are only a few RE dealers here but fortunately, we have both right here in my city. Service is not an issue for me, with that said I think the Honda beats out the RE ever so slightly but I am leaning towards the Honda CB 350 at this point. Thanks for a great review.
Thankss man... Awesome... Thts exactly i was hoping from this bike... I booked it the day it launched and i am getting it this week... Thanks for d vdo man....
@@rajeshbanik4955 Bro I am not 100% sure but I think that petrol pump guy cheated you. The fuel tank capacity of your bike is only 15 litres, don't know how he filled 17 change litres.
I think the decision of making hness only available through bigwing is actually a very good decision. I dont want everyone to get this bike. Like RE can be seen in every gali mohalla now. Every other chapri owns RE now. That has taken away its royalness. Hness would be exclusive to certain sensible people who are not going to install auto wala silencer on it. I dont even want everyone to know about this. It should be kept as a secret :) so that chapris can never own this bike.
Hey Abhinav, I envy you so much... Perhaps the most genuine review I have been waiting since ages. Not those Autocar / Zigwheels / Motoroctane etc. kind of fake and fabricated reviews.... Awesome explanation.... Detailing..... Very much my kind of review... Also I would like to add one more thing..... Ever since thw engine cranked, I felt I was riding the bike... Very much a simulator.... Must congratulate you and thank you for genuine review..... And your uncle will surely be thankful for your suggestion of not opting for Jawa... Honda has a hell of a product... RE... Honda has finally nailed it.... Thanks once again bro for the real quality stuff first up on TH-cam
Can't say about the bike but I miss this area for 8 months now... due to lockdown I am in my hometown... your video gave me a much-needed glimpse of this area/road that I used to travel on everyday... Thanks man!
Abhinav, I agree with you on soooo many points. 1. Big wings need sale, I understand. But to get into RE’s market share, Honda needs to increase the availability of this amazing machine. 2. I was a bit dubious about the thump, but after this review, damn I like it. It’s actually there. 3. When I was watching during the initial minutes, I was thinking what I would have named it, because the highness name truly doesn’t fit. Especially, with the apostrophe. However, I’m not sure about the CB350 either, because they already had a classic model called CB350 with twin exhaust. Probably a 2-stroke. I’m not very sure though. 4. The badging feels a little out of place given that massive Honda branding on the tank, in that classic font. I would have liked something written in that particular font for the badging as well. 5. The design is definitely for a mature audience. I love it. That protruding tail lamp from the side profile, that tank dimension, the handlebars, seats - they just seamlessly fit in unison. Speaks perfection. That being said, I like the colour of the pro models better than the ones in the standard ones. Pure Japanese classic! Not everyone can appreciate it. Certainly, not the lot who like Hero Xtreme 160R! 6. The speedo dial is a miss for me though. Had there been twin dials like the RE’s 650s, that would’ve been a cherry on top. Coming to the ‘make a request’, please upload one video with just pure sound of the engine. I don’t know if that’s too much to ask for. Please do, if possible. Possibly on a highway. 😍 Thanks mate! Edit: I corrected the numbering. 😝
I'm actually glad Honda launch this. We can expect better motorcycles from RE in future! Not only better motorcycle but also good quality spare parts and after sales service.
@@knitinpatel so you are saying without improvement we shall continue to buy crap! What's wrong if an Indian brand becomes as good as harley Or BMW!? Bmw bikes are expensive yet people who know for what reason they are paying top dollar for it buys it!
@@knitinpatel agreed, but when you have competition you are forced to give better overall package. I'm just happy for that as RE got now competition in its segment we can expect better products in long run from them. I really admire there recent launches like intercepter and continental.
I am 99% sure that you are the first one to review Honda's h'ness. Was waiting for such a video, and look what I have on my video feed. Edit : Your videos just get better and better! Loving it. I really wish that you start reviewing more bikes in the same way.
Dude i watched your video almost an year ago and u made me buy this bike but i was resisting because of the looks and then i took the test ride of cb 350rs and got the bike 15 days ago....the red cb 350 rs is unbeatable in its price segment...thanks for the detailed videos of honda cb 350
Now this is what I call a real world first impressions video. No nonsense. No unnecessary screams of ecstacy. "This is where the bike will spend most of it's time; in traffic", very well said sir. Also, you went, got the bike and started riding without a clue about the specifications.. hahahahaaaa. That was gutsy brother 🤣 Nicely done video Abhinav. Thanks for sharing.
@@abhinavbhatt Hi Abhinav. Question: Any issues with electrical components and do the brake pads require replacing frequently? Reason I ask, is because, I've seen a couple of ownership reviews on youtube where they were pointing these out. One guy said he had to change the brake pads 4 times within a year. Yes, he did use the bike for a lot of long drives
Tho m not suppose to answer here but Normally it depends on the usage... And it's kinda normal to check the brake pads once in 50k kms... If some people are using this bike for long tours very frequently... It's a possibility...
How come 17 litres?? I think it comes with only 15 litre fuel tank. Either honda has.gone wrong with their spec or something fishy at that petrol station.
I have a Dio bought in 2002/3 and it is still damn smooth. Honda and smoothness go hand in hand. Hopefully its not too smooth to not have any character.
Buddy, before shifting to 5th gear the bike should already be at a speed of 60km/hr or more.... one cannot expect good throttle response dragging the bike in 5th gear at less than 60km/hr and then expecting quick speed...
I don't know why this bikes excites me as much as when the CBR250 (The official budget touring bike) was launched. Honda is Honda man. Blowing everything out of the water.
*Honda is not aiming on more sales than RE. Honda is positioning this bike above RE. So this wont be a common bike on the roads. So people will notice this bike easily. As the name says Highness*
@@PC-sg2be Bro it is called positioning. This is what some big brands are doing . But they are positioning by increasing the price. Sometimes it leads to market failure. Like Harley Davidson. But unlike harley honda has a stfong economic foundation in india with its scooters. So it can experiment anything without risk
@@wick2op Yes . Exactly what I am talking about. Harlry is an economic failure. Low sales. Even if cb350 is low in sales there is activas and dio to hold honda economicaly.
Hi Abhinav, I have watched this review numerous times now, along with all other H'ness videos from you. All are helpful. You have that ability to connect with the audience. Thanks for the videos and the enthusiasm. By the way, I have booked my H'ness and awaiting the RTO registration, which is taking so much of time.
Hi, Could you please share your genuine review about this bike? In terms of economy, comfort, Maintenance cost, etc. How much do you spend monthly on this bike?
Very enjoyable review - good to have simple, honest first impressions of a new bike. Amazed that you were able to speak calmly while filtering through that traffic! (I'd want a bit more protection than shorts and T shirt,though). That exhaust note sounds fantastic and the bike looks great. Even the cow at 26.20 looked impressed! I hope Honda bring this bike to the European market. There is undoubtedly a demand for it as a commuter or a gentle weekend back roads tourer - but, yes, agreed, the daft name needs to go! Thanks for being the first (I think) to give us a proper review of this exciting new model.
Jane, you probably wouldn't believe this, but I went to the showroom earlier that day to try for an early delivery in even lesser clothing. Hahahahahaha. I believe Honda will bring a slightly bigger CB to Europe. It's too crucial a market for Honda to ignore.
As usual, always a bliss to watch your videos, full of information and clarity in content. And this video seemed to be so natural, as if a kid has been handed over a new toy and he is extremely excited to explore it. Amongst the first to review Interceptor, and amongst the first to review this. Great video brother
Not every RE owner is a happy owner. If there is 10 things to like in RE there are 50 things to dislike. Many here are looking for RE's character , comfort and not to have those pain in the a** issues it has and honda hness looks promising. But Only way to know is to take a test ride and see if it really has the character.
I am lucky enough to cherish my Aprilia Shiver 750 almost everyday... but these small bikes man, they speak to me at soul level, a return to the simplicity and the joy to ride a motorcycle, enjoying the scenery, the smells, the views, and for once performance be damned. Small bikes rule!
As for someone who own an enfield, I am in love with the motorcycle here. It's got everything my enfield has..and a lot more. It's surely not going to win over the enfield sales numbers but damn.. am I ready to make a switch.
Abinav finally I am very proudly received my new Hynes 359 mat black today Your review are absolutely right . It’s an amazing product from Honda , no vibration. Nothing , I ride today around 110 km Could not feel any tiredness. .. In my open ion the meter console was little smaller also the stiffness in the seats Hope honda will review and revert with new design of spirit seat Thanks team Go for hyness amazing experience
21 June 2024 ko le li Maine BHI, after owning royal Enfield for more than 8 years. Hiness is a beautiful and refined bike with high quality material used
Its not like that, RE has different fan base. I am not saying that this will not clock sales, but RE people are different in taste. Missing that dug dug sound.
They think RE classic 350 with 20hp and 200kg weight is royal and on a different league Who's gonna tell them that they are underpowered aged crap? Even if we do They aren't going to accept it. The only RE that makes sense is the 650twin and the himalayan The 500 also did make sense But it's gone.
I'm surprised by the fact that this channel has just 100k subs...get the popularity where it deems necessary. Well put video, literally the anti-dilemma that I needed😂
Unfortunately I got the chronology of the videos wrong but it's reassuring to hear the same excitement and enthusiasm through all of them. Your emotions convinced me that this is gonna be my first bike and judging by your comments on the smoothness, lightness and easy clutch and gearing it should be a blast riding in the city as well.
Nice content dude. From the sounds of it, it's a stable product from Honda without any major issues at first. Let's hope the parts other than the engine last long.

Hahahah. If you've seen my previous videos, you'd know I don't care about these things. But when I have the opportunity to, then why not.
@@abhinavbhatt 👍💐
After watching you ride it in the city I think you could have dropped down a gear the whole time and had a better experience. I agree with you the sound is amazing I loved it too. I think this might be the perfect city bike for me, and we all should realize that our own riding techniques are ours, and ours alone. I currently have a 650 Vulcan S and Love it, but it's not a "City bike" by any means. Great review I have come to appreciate your reviews as real-life riding experiences. I live in the Philippines and we have the complete opposite comparisons when it comes to Honda dealers VS. Royal Enfield. there are only a few RE dealers here but fortunately, we have both right here in my city. Service is not an issue for me, with that said I think the Honda beats out the RE ever so slightly but I am leaning towards the Honda CB 350 at this point. Thanks for a great review.
Thankss man... Awesome... Thts exactly i was hoping from this bike... I booked it the day it launched and i am getting it this week...
Thanks for d vdo man....
Yes. Yes. This is what I wanted.❤️ All reviewers were doing walkarounds 🙄
You are great man.. so called automobile journalists failed to test ride.. you did it.. super
Its not just a test ride..its d ownership first ride review 😀
@@rajeshbanik4955 Bro I am not 100% sure but I think that petrol pump guy cheated you. The fuel tank capacity of your bike is only 15 litres, don't know how he filled 17 change litres.
Not to me,,😂 to Abhinabh.😀
@@rajeshbanik4955ha ha.. test ride or first ride but riding bike to show us first in you tube.. 😀
@@ramkrishnasamratnookala3062 magic 2 litres
Idk but I keep coming back to this video every month .The video is so satisfying .I might get this as my first bike.
I think the decision of making hness only available through bigwing is actually a very good decision. I dont want everyone to get this bike. Like RE can be seen in every gali mohalla now. Every other chapri owns RE now. That has taken away its royalness.
Hness would be exclusive to certain sensible people who are not going to install auto wala silencer on it. I dont even want everyone to know about this. It should be kept as a secret :) so that chapris can never own this bike.
😂😂😂👏👏👏👏
😁😄😆😅👌👍
😂😂
I don't like its name Hnesss... Lets call it CB350.. CB tag makes the bike feel legendary
@one punch a slang for RE owners
Hey Abhinav,
I envy you so much... Perhaps the most genuine review I have been waiting since ages. Not those Autocar / Zigwheels / Motoroctane etc. kind of fake and fabricated reviews.... Awesome explanation.... Detailing..... Very much my kind of review... Also I would like to add one more thing..... Ever since thw engine cranked, I felt I was riding the bike... Very much a simulator.... Must congratulate you and thank you for genuine review..... And your uncle will surely be thankful for your suggestion of not opting for Jawa... Honda has a hell of a product... RE... Honda has finally nailed it.... Thanks once again bro for the real quality stuff first up on TH-cam
every single minute of the Video was Interesting & was happy to see you Owning this Bike... Congracts Abhinav For the New Bike
Thanks bro
It's brutally frank review, unlike auto magazine reviews where final verdict is always 'cat on the wall'.
Offically First Video On TH-cam Honda Higness Ride..Thanks Brooooooooooooooooo
Most welcome bro.
Beautiful first ride review! Just pure perspective of a biker and not the spec sheet!
Beautiful machine!
Can't say about the bike but I miss this area for 8 months now... due to lockdown I am in my hometown... your video gave me a much-needed glimpse of this area/road that I used to travel on everyday... Thanks man!
Abhinav, I agree with you on soooo many points.
1. Big wings need sale, I understand. But to get into RE’s market share, Honda needs to increase the availability of this amazing machine.
2. I was a bit dubious about the thump, but after this review, damn I like it. It’s actually there.
3. When I was watching during the initial minutes, I was thinking what I would have named it, because the highness name truly doesn’t fit. Especially, with the apostrophe. However, I’m not sure about the CB350 either, because they already had a classic model called CB350 with twin exhaust. Probably a 2-stroke. I’m not very sure though.
4. The badging feels a little out of place given that massive Honda branding on the tank, in that classic font. I would have liked something written in that particular font for the badging as well.
5. The design is definitely for a mature audience. I love it. That protruding tail lamp from the side profile, that tank dimension, the handlebars, seats - they just seamlessly fit in unison. Speaks perfection. That being said, I like the colour of the pro models better than the ones in the standard ones. Pure Japanese classic! Not everyone can appreciate it. Certainly, not the lot who like Hero Xtreme 160R!
6. The speedo dial is a miss for me though. Had there been twin dials like the RE’s 650s, that would’ve been a cherry on top.
Coming to the ‘make a request’, please upload one video with just pure sound of the engine. I don’t know if that’s too much to ask for. Please do, if possible. Possibly on a highway. 😍
Thanks mate!
Edit: I corrected the numbering. 😝
I'm actually glad Honda launch this.
We can expect better motorcycles from RE in future!
Not only better motorcycle but also good quality spare parts and after sales service.
After sales service could be the reason why Honda chose big wing showrooms, we already know about RE’s services.
@@knitinpatel so you are saying without improvement we shall continue to buy crap!
What's wrong if an Indian brand becomes as good as harley Or BMW!?
Bmw bikes are expensive yet people who know for what reason they are paying top dollar for it buys it!
@@knitinpatel agreed, but when you have competition you are forced to give better overall package.
I'm just happy for that as RE got now competition in its segment we can expect better products in long run from them.
I really admire there recent launches like intercepter and continental.
Badsha ko badsha nahi ayai ga to kya gulam ayaiga..... enfield gonna rock in coming futures.
Video title is misleading Yaar...I was worried..but now happy..blue colour is done for me
I am 99% sure that you are the first one to review Honda's h'ness. Was waiting for such a video, and look what I have on my video feed.
Edit : Your videos just get better and better! Loving it. I really wish that you start reviewing more bikes in the same way.
Dude i watched your video almost an year ago and u made me buy this bike but i was resisting because of the looks and then i took the test ride of cb 350rs and got the bike 15 days ago....the red cb 350 rs is unbeatable in its price segment...thanks for the detailed videos of honda cb 350
Finally H’Ness hit on road...RIP RE, Jawa, Banelli your H’Ness has finally hit the road..
What a refinement + Classy Thump...I m loving this bike
Rip RE!!LOL u dont know how indian market works.. 😄
"Banelli"
Totally a different kind of review man, booking it. Soon I could feel the excitement
Now after watching this I feel like selling my R15
Go for it. 😂
Le lo bhai way better than standard bullet which you were thinking about earlier
Why did you buy power ranger kids shit? 🤣 Always go for retro, cruiser style 🔥🔥
@Satyam Raikar yeah..i agreed
@Satyam Raikar it's still shit 🤣
This video gave you a really good boost for this channel
Now this is what I call a real world first impressions video. No nonsense. No unnecessary screams of ecstacy. "This is where the bike will spend most of it's time; in traffic", very well said sir. Also, you went, got the bike and started riding without a clue about the specifications.. hahahahaaaa. That was gutsy brother 🤣
Nicely done video Abhinav. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
@@abhinavbhatt Hi Abhinav. Question: Any issues with electrical components and do the brake pads require replacing frequently? Reason I ask, is because, I've seen a couple of ownership reviews on youtube where they were pointing these out. One guy said he had to change the brake pads 4 times within a year. Yes, he did use the bike for a lot of long drives
Tho m not suppose to answer here but Normally it depends on the usage...
And it's kinda normal to check the brake pads once in 50k kms... If some people are using this bike for long tours very frequently... It's a possibility...
@@anym-san Appreciate the info. Thanks for sharing 🙏
How come 17 litres??
I think it comes with only 15 litre fuel tank.
Either honda has.gone wrong with their spec or something fishy at that petrol station.
May be reserve gas is not included with 15ltr.
@@himangsh
15 Litre is what I saw in Honda's official site and I hope 15L includes the reserve too.
Company mentions safe limit for tank capacity. In most bikes you can fill about 1-2 litres more than the stated fuel capacity.
2 litre ka jhol kiya petrol pump wale ne
Nothing fishy 2 litre is reserve tank 😂
Dude your the first TH-cam to Review this bike. Cool. I like your presentation skills crisp and clear
Thanks
Reviewed it earlier than Dinos vault.. Beat that bro
I have no intentions to compete with anyone.
I have a Dio bought in 2002/3 and it is still damn smooth. Honda and smoothness go hand in hand. Hopefully its not too smooth to not have any character.
That's what I fear too.
This is wat all i expect from this sweet machine ❤ Honda had done it!
Thanks for the clear feedback from 1st Ride experience 👍🏻
alright, u convinced me, I'll get this over the meteor. 🤷🏻♂️
update : I bought the meteor. 😂
Meteor plastic
@@shaunrai5370 🤣🤣why so
Why meteor?
I was so eagerly waiting for this vedio...thank you so much
Buddy, before shifting to 5th gear the bike should already be at a speed of 60km/hr or more.... one cannot expect good throttle response dragging the bike in 5th gear at less than 60km/hr and then expecting quick speed...
Its simply because of bad gearing. The gearing is absolutely too tall
Would love to have it available in UK.
C'mon Honda... You can do it, surely...
Cheers!
I.
yes,this cb350 is the best in segement (long stroke)
i think meteor is available there right
Maan, the first time you ride this bike you get a wide smile 😀 on your face which tells everything between you and this bike ❣️
Wooow...wonderful bike....i love it...whatever we wished in RE is here...and you are the first one to give the ride review
156 dislike from Royal Enfield owner😂😂 bydwy I loved it. Ty so much for such a lovely video.. love from Bangalore 😍
I love how enthusiastic this guy is 😂😂
i too hate that red thing and name.highness...Just CB350 would have been perfect
can we remove that badge without any marks?
I don't know why this bikes excites me as much as when the CBR250 (The official budget touring bike) was launched. Honda is Honda man. Blowing everything out of the water.
Love your excitement riding the bike ! Perfect, simple first look impression of the CB350 👍
Thanks man!
*Honda is not aiming on more sales than RE. Honda is positioning this bike above RE. So this wont be a common bike on the roads. So people will notice this bike easily. As the name says Highness*
Who doesn't want to sell? Lol
@@PC-sg2be Bro it is called positioning. This is what some big brands are doing . But they are positioning by increasing the price. Sometimes it leads to market failure. Like Harley Davidson. But unlike harley honda has a stfong economic foundation in india with its scooters. So it can experiment anything without risk
@@SK-qc7pn lol Harley is a failure 👏👏👏.
@@wick2op Yes . Exactly what I am talking about. Harlry is an economic failure. Low sales. Even if cb350 is low in sales there is activas and dio to hold honda economicaly.
@@SK-qc7pn so apple is a failure too. There are some brands which u cant expect to be cheaper or budget frndily
Bro,that's a 15 ltr tank......how can you fill 17ltr?
2 ltr reserve
It’s a RE killer, have booked the bike, in blore they r saying will deliver after Nov 10th. Can’t wait cheers!!!
You made the right decision... I'm literally crying with my classic 350
@@vigneshTAI me too bro
Today I rode my Mama's HNess 350, now I feel like I am riding the bike again.
The Sound is Bliss 🍀🍀 and when u open the throttle, the KICK is BADASS
I've owned this bike almost 2 years. Still I occasionally come back to this video 😂
Official specifications for the Highness tank capacity is 15l, Abhinav just got scammed for 2+ litres
Hahahaha which is this petrol pump that fooled him? Officia tank specs says 15l capacity and he's celebrating filling 17l
No the fuelling system also hold fuel .
@@HarshSingh-iu3xs but some fuels was already in the tank + he filled 17+ ltrs of petrol. How?
@@aarondias5813 that BP fuel pump is on the border of delhi and gurgaon.
Tank capacity is 15 lts, I think he didnt make zero reading before he filled petrol in your bike
He did.
Company recommends safe quantity but we can fill extra fuel in every bike 1-2ltr
2 Litre may b reserve
I think the fuel station is conning people with lesser amount of fuel than the reading!
Exactly, its says Fuel tank capacity - 15Lts on hondabigwing.in India website.
Hi Abhinav, I have watched this review numerous times now, along with all other H'ness videos from you. All are helpful. You have that ability to connect with the audience. Thanks for the videos and the enthusiasm. By the way, I have booked my H'ness and awaiting the RTO registration, which is taking so much of time.
Thank you. And congratulations.
Hi, Could you please share your genuine review about this bike? In terms of economy, comfort, Maintenance cost, etc. How much do you spend monthly on this bike?
Very enjoyable review - good to have simple, honest first impressions of a new bike. Amazed that you were able to speak calmly while filtering through that traffic! (I'd want a bit more protection than shorts and T shirt,though). That exhaust note sounds fantastic and the bike looks great. Even the cow at 26.20 looked impressed! I hope Honda bring this bike to the European market. There is undoubtedly a demand for it as a commuter or a gentle weekend back roads tourer - but, yes, agreed, the daft name needs to go! Thanks for being the first (I think) to give us a proper review of this exciting new model.
Jane, you probably wouldn't believe this, but I went to the showroom earlier that day to try for an early delivery in even lesser clothing. Hahahahahaha. I believe Honda will bring a slightly bigger CB to Europe. It's too crucial a market for Honda to ignore.
Your 1st impressions has covered all the aspects of this bike...thank u so much for the video..happy motoring🏍...
As usual, always a bliss to watch your videos, full of information and clarity in content. And this video seemed to be so natural, as if a kid has been handed over a new toy and he is extremely excited to explore it. Amongst the first to review Interceptor, and amongst the first to review this. Great video brother
Thanks bro.
I wish the designs from 80's classic would come back! It is actually! ♥️
Those who press dislike , i think they are RE owner 🤔😀
RE with modified exhausts is creating lots of sound pollution.
@@sriramarajupenmatsa2125 they will work on that
hahaha
@Debajit B 🤣
Not every RE owner is a happy owner. If there is 10 things to like in RE there are 50 things to dislike. Many here are looking for RE's character , comfort and not to have those pain in the a** issues it has and honda hness looks promising. But Only way to know is to take a test ride and see if it really has the character.
The point u made about the availability is such a nice thing..u are the voices of people like us who come from small towns 🙏🙏🔥🔥👍👍 really appreciate it
I am lucky enough to cherish my Aprilia Shiver 750 almost everyday... but these small bikes man, they speak to me at soul level, a return to the simplicity and the joy to ride a motorcycle, enjoying the scenery, the smells, the views, and for once performance be damned. Small bikes rule!
Yeah man. Small bikes are just so much fun.

As for someone who own an enfield, I am in love with the motorcycle here. It's got everything my enfield has..and a lot more. It's surely not going to win over the enfield sales numbers but damn.. am I ready to make a switch.
You will love this bike, better than total Enfield
Me too
Abinav finally I am very proudly received my new Hynes 359 mat black today
Your review are absolutely right . It’s an amazing product from Honda , no vibration. Nothing , I ride today around 110 km Could not feel any tiredness. ..
In my open ion the meter console was little smaller also the stiffness in the seats
Hope honda will review and revert with new design of spirit seat
Thanks team Go for hyness amazing experience
Congratulations, brother. I'm glad my videos could be of some help.
21 June 2024 ko le li Maine BHI, after owning royal Enfield for more than 8 years. Hiness is a beautiful and refined bike with high quality material used
You are the first one to do a ride review, sincerely thanks!
Most welcome.
@@abhinavbhatt should i buy this over all the other cruiser bikes like jawa and royal enfield?
Brutally agree with your comment on the name tag “Highness” over there it should be simply CB350.
💯💯💯
Looks like Honda has nailed it...its gonna eat into RE's market share.
Its not like that, RE has different fan base. I am not saying that this will not clock sales, but RE people are different in taste. Missing that dug dug sound.
RE fans only like dug dug plus vibration they don’t care about refinement which Honda is famous for...😂😂😂😂
They think RE classic 350 with 20hp and 200kg weight is royal and on a different league
Who's gonna tell them that they are underpowered aged crap?
Even if we do
They aren't going to accept it.
The only RE that makes sense is the 650twin and the himalayan
The 500 also did make sense
But it's gone.
How can? No enough dealers, if honda wanna beat they should sell it through all regular honda bike showroom
@@bobbysharma5773 agreed
I'm surprised by the fact that this channel has just 100k subs...get the popularity where it deems necessary. Well put video, literally the anti-dilemma that I needed😂
Unfortunately I got the chronology of the videos wrong but it's reassuring to hear the same excitement and enthusiasm through all of them. Your emotions convinced me that this is gonna be my first bike and judging by your comments on the smoothness, lightness and easy clutch and gearing it should be a blast riding in the city as well.
Also agree on the horrible h'ness badging
This bike looks exactly like the one i have in my game
*Trafic Rider*
That game😄
i really like that you can appreciate so much about small bikes, after say using 600+ cc bikes!
His review is about Honda CB 350, many of them waiting for that....
Iam feeling that iam on bike.... Good review broo thumbs up 👍☺️👍☺️👍❤️❤️
So, SO hope that bike comes to the US exactly as it is. Would make such a good first motorcycle for so many people.
Nice content dude. From the sounds of it, it's a stable product from Honda without any major issues at first. Let's hope the parts other than the engine last long.
Honda back in the Game💯
Test Headlight throw,
led brightness at complete dark.
Looks like CB350 just saved earth from the 🌠
And you saved your uncle from Jawa😂
Agree with whatever you said..
Matured audience will love it more. Honda CB has been throbbing hearts since 70s..
This bike is to bring smile on your face. Leave aside the specs looks. This bike just gildes and makes you feel like it’s fun to ride slow
