I bought a GB350S in Taiwan in 2022, it was imported from Japan through a motorcycle trader and is a very nice bike with a very reliable engine. This video brings back great memories of when I first bought my GB350S, thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! Yeah she is a beauty, spend half my day walking out to the garage to make sure she is still there. Bummer they don’t just make this a global option. 🤞🤞
Cool video, I got the Honda CL500 now and put 6200 miles on it. Love it so far. It's a great ride here on the Jersey Shore US. A lot more fun than the heavier Honda Rebel 1100cc. I sold that one after 14,600 miles. The ergonomics were hurting my shoulders and lower back. No more pain now with the CL500.
I picked up a GB350 a few months ago and enjoying it. The seat is a bit uncomfortable after a few hours, but overall, the bike is serving me well. -Nagano
Almost 8,000 ks on mine now. Best mod that changes the whole ride, 13 tooth counter shaft sprocket. Now holds 5 with 300 rpm at 100 ks. Sprocket of Honda Xr600 1991 to 2,000. Now an even more magic bike.
It's a beautiful all-rounder machine indeed...I own this bike here in India..here it's called CB350 RS...where RS stands for Road Sailing....done long hauls and fair bit of offloading as well...and that exhaust note is just music to the ears.
@@phatsokhim1881 RS has a slight cafe racer vibe to itself with a committed riding posture (never like a sports bike though).. A single piece gear shifter lever like most modern bikes and with a slight rear set position... less chrome parts... I feel that the RS is slightly quicker off the line. rest more or less everything is the same mechanically.
what a great review I have been looking for a review with an English speaker for a quite long time. Would be interested in watching how you are gonna accessorize it!
I'm an Aussie and own the GB350. I absolutely love it! On the mixed roads I do (mostly hilly country with some highway sections) my bike consistently uses about 2.2-2.3 L/100km. With the 15 L tank this gives me an incredible range of easily over 600 km!!!! Perfect for Australia where the distances between pumps can be huge. Oh yes, and the exhaust note... 🥰 It's also great on gravel, BTW, better in fact than the adventure bikes I've owned. And it's made in Japan.
@@Paul-kp1tu I don't know about 120. It does 110 easily, and I've never tried faster than that. I do stretches of freeway regularly to get to where the nice roads are and never found it to be a problem.
@@James.576 similar but a new variant for Japan. They have released a more base model oversees and there are equivalent models in india etc. but this is the Japan only spec
Finally Honda, you woke up from your design sleep, I thought you had fired your designers ! Ok, they have the Cub 125 but ruined it with keyless start and a not so nice analogue display, the original was far nicer but it's analogue so better than TFT. I have been so sick of Honda's stick bug shape sport and sport tourer bikes and ugly as shit TFT screens, you just can't get more boring than a NC750x or pretty much most modern Honda or other Bikes. Triumph have the gorgeous Bonneville, now the Speed 400, Royal Enfield, well, they don't make boring looking bikes do they ? Royal Enfield have the Classic 650 coming lovely bike but shame on the TFT navigation display, it was not needed and completely out of character, I just don't get who can make these decisions ? An analogue fuel gauge in it's place would have been far better ! Kawasaki still have the W800 and the Z650 RS. Any other modern retros I'm missing ? But well done Honda, I hope the GB350s is the beginning of more gorgeous bikes to come hopefully with more power and the least amount of electronics and no digital screens at all ? think Bonneville T100 ! Honda should have made the current Rebel more retro !

That is awesome 😎😎 thanks for watching 🙏😊
Last week I bought CB350rs Mat Grey Color(Indian variant), and I am absolutely loving it.
Awesome 😎 happy riding and thanks for watching 😉
Beautiful bike! Love the modern retros, wish we'd get this one here in the United States

Thanks and thank you for watching…yeah the Rebel never felt right in the saddle for me. The CL is a sweet ride too, only ridden once though.

@@familymcd i did find the seat on the GB350 was a little to boxy and that is a big part of why I went with the S model…happy riding!

Very cool tip! Thanks for watching and sharing!
The exhaust is so clear and soothing far better then the current muted RE 350's.

@@BluePacificMedia My pleasure
What’s the difference between 350 and 350 rs?
@@phatsokhim1881 I go through all that in the video.

In India this motorcycle is named Honda CB350rs. There are two variants cb350 highness, cb350 classic ( more bulky). Highness looks best tho.
Yes, they are very similar, but not exactly the same.mostly small design differences. Killer fun to ride though 😊 Thanks for watching!🙏😊

@@unuboldgtr9695 thank you and thanks for watching…sorry but I keep my bikes stock 😂 that way I can buy another bike when I want a different feel 😂
Good review 👍 Hoping this will come to Thailand, will definitely get one
🤞🤞 Thank you and thanks for watching 😎🙏😊
Very nice. It’s being sold in Malaysia as the CB350RS and Singapore as the GB350S. The RS/S is the very best version to get.
@@scudonepercenter awesome! Thanks for watching and sharing 😎😎🏍️
@@photonigarcia that is a bummer. Hope they read this and get into the market!
🤞🤞🏍️😎
Wonder if this version will be sold in Australia. Nice video. Thanks for posting.
Hope so, it is a great bike! Thanks for watching 🙏😊🏍️
Love it. Unfortunately I'd have to settle for the GB350 in Australia but it's still a lovely bike.
@@adamkarl3334 hope they make a call and drop the s in Oz, but I agree the stock gb350 is still a beauty.

Nice review.thinking of buying the same next month.based in nagoya
Thank you 😊 I have zero regrets except that I bought it at the start of the rain season 😂
Do you guys think that the Normal and S virsion also is going to be released on 2025 in Europe with Euro5+ ?
@@SweetsDansi No idea, but it would be a sweet bike on those roads.
Is this cb 350rs or new variant altogether?

I wonder why India doesn't have the black colour available
No idea, they have some very strange marketing strategies for sure. Thanks for watching 🙏😊
Hello I'm from India I need a back pillon grab rest from KIJIMA JAPAN . could please help me ..
Thanks for watching. 🙏😊 Sorry but parts is not something I can help with. Happy riding.

Yeah, bikes need to emote and make you fall in love with them. Can’t love a transformer looking piece of plastic.
@@BluePacificMedia exactly 100% ! 🙂
What a beauty...
Not for Europe 🫤
Thank you…Yeah such a shame…hope they change that.
wait to 2025
It is now also available in Europe.
That is awesome! Will have another video on the bike over at RideThruJapan channel
4,700€ for Europe no,nono👎
