I was confused between RE Meteor and Honda CB 350. I liked both the bikes but was not sure which one should I choose.
I've ridden both the bikes before as well but haven't ridden on the same day to compare. So I decided to test ride both the bikes once again on the same day to figure out the differences between both the amazing machines. In this video, I've shared my opinion for both the bikes on the basis of my riding experience.
Definitely a next level biking experience. A satisfied highnes user for almost last 3 years.
Wow! Glad to know about your satisfying experience with Highness. Yeah in 350 CC segment in retro bikes, haven’t seen better than these CBs.
Thanks for watching and writing a comment. 😇
Hi. Howz the suspension. In city. Potholes n flyover joints. In slow speeds. Heard Triumph is better.
My booking on speed 400 is on hold as I'm unable to decide. Heating n clutch are cons in Triumph whereas Suspension n ride quality of Honda. Unable to get much insights. Many ppl on YT talk about refinement but not much about ride quality
@@srinathkaushik suspension is medium and ok. Stability and nil vibration is another factor which I liked in hness. The comfort level and riding position is comfortable in hness/RS. Speed400 is sporty type and long ride comfort not sure with its sitting posture. Also hness wheel base is lengthier in this segment giving a smooth and comfort ride. Another unbelievable con noticed in triumph is vibration after 80kmph, which is not acceptable for such a higher HP torqy 400 cc bike. Even at 110 hness is stable and glued to road.
@@srinathkaushik ride quality of HONDA is amazing. Honda is a Japanese brand. To bike me ek ek chiz pe dhyan diya h. Jo b feature h it works perfectly fine. Engine’s heat management, weight distribution, handling, seat comfort and angles. So ride quality is good. When I rode it first time the bike is heavy but when I rode it was so light and comfortable and handling is also good. Easy to flickable even in traffic. Good for touring and good for city as well.
If you talk about power and performance then TRIUMPH produces more power and speed. As it has a different character. So haven’t ridden Speed 400 so can’t say about it.
Just booked Hness CB350.
Liked it way better than any of the RE or Jawa bikes.
The biggest factor for me to go for Hness over other bikes was the better weight distribution and the more modern features.
For example : Jawa 42 is 10 KGs lighter than Hness on paper , but when you ride it , it feels heavier for some reason.
Also , my hands were paining a lot after the test ride of Jawa 42 and also the RE bikes.
Whereas it was a delight to ride the Honda.
You don't feel the weight at all , there are plenty of features and it is way more comfortable than the other bikes.
Yes there is still the issue of service network but I am buying it mainly to ride in the city itself.
I'm not a touring person and even if I do touring sometimes , it is with my car.
I'm not someone who would travel long distances on a 2 wheeler.
Wow! Congratulations for booking HONDA Highness CB350. Welcome to the CB350 group. And thank you so much for making time to write a comment.
Yes, you’re right the Japanese had engineered HONDA so well that the weight management, design, fit and finish are good.
Jawa is not even in competition to compare, so much reliability issues. RE is much better in every aspect than JAWA. Honda fir RE se b better h.
Yeah bro about weight I also had same experience. Before I checked HONDA I already I had my friend’s RE bullet which was heavy to ride. Then when I test rode HONDA CB 350 it felt so light while riding. I didn’t feel it’s a heavy weight.
Yeah service network is less. But for service we have to once in 6 months so easily manage to go far to get serviced. So not a major issue. And Honda bikes are known for reliability in industry.
Honda CB 350 Rs is better than Royal Enfield meteor .
Thanks for your suggestion. Stay tuned for the next video to know which one I picked.
Honda is definitely better machine. But the issue is it's service centre distance
Yeah that’s true. But if someone wants more quality, more refined engine, reliable machine with some features then I think it’s worth compromising the distance to service centres.
On the other hand RE is also providing good service network, wide range of accessories after market and from company. That too with improved new generation RE engines. So that’s also good.
At the end it all depends which one touches the heart. ❣️
Planning to buy a bike....
This video helped me a lot....
Very nicely explained many things..
... .. Best wishes for your future videos.... Please review x 440 ..
Short listed... Hness.. Meteor..
Speed 400, x440... Even v strom, gixxer 250 , 300R , 300 F...
I know,, pretty long for short listing
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Booked and test drove HD x 440 but i think I will go for honda hness green color...
Thanks for watching and writing a comment. I’m glad that you liked the video and it helped you. And thank you for the best wishes for future videos.
Bhai you have a long list and all are different types and segment. 😀😀😀
The Honda bikes and Suzuki bikes are good. Triumph is new so wait for at least 6 to 10 months to see how it performs.
Suzuki and Honda models you mentioned are not new and have been there from a quite long so it’s safer to go with the model which are tried and tested by users.
@@jatinkashyap46 thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and insights...you have been a great help.... Best wishes always....💯💯👌👌
@@123junu it’s my pleasure bhai. Humbled 😇
Thank you so much for best wishes.
And yeah do let me know once you buy your new bike.
Bro
What did you take finally ???
@@saikirangudla3389 I bought HONDA CB 350 RS and done tours on that bike.
Honda a beautiful machine + a reliable work horse ❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️🌟🌟🌟🌟
True 😊😊
Brother which one looks more muscular and bulkier highness or meteor 350
Bhai ye mushkil h batana. Dono hi achhi or big bike wali feel deti h.
U can try cb350 over hness !! It also look bulkier
Meteor 350...always stylish n comfy
@@Tyson.rides_620haa bohot bulky and heavy bhi shayad
Even I had the same confusion between these 2 bikes.
Finally I went for meteor for a simple reason.
All the bikes are mechanical products they might go bad anywhere anytime, locally or during tour.
In Such a bad situation, you need a Machanic to help you and take you out of this messy situation.
Imagine you are in a middle of a tour and your bike gets puncture or fuel pump goes bad or clutch cable snaps. You don't want such things to mess up with your touring.
I hope you take the right decision when you have to.. and don't regret your decision latter.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Even I like both the bikes and you are right the service network is a plus point even any local mechanic knows how to fix RE. Both have their plus and minus. Let’s see which one will be picked.
Get RSA. Any day better option than local mechanic.
Yes! I always have RSA for all my bikes.
Endield rsa is like a govt department
What a dumb choice lmao 😂😂
Looks like Honda is going to surpass Royal Enfield in this sigment. After all it is a Honda [Japanese Excellency]
Right brother, HONDA is known for quality and at least due to the competition RE has improved its technology and quality in past few years.
And those who want the retro look like RE but don’t buy RE bike due to reliability issues. So Honda came with the CB 350 series for them.
So it’s beneficial for RE lovers also as competition is making RE better. 😊
I am a proud owner of CB350 and I must say there is no comparison between RE350 And CB350🎉🎉
Agreed, I also owned CB 350 RS after few days of making this video.
Dono me vibration kisme jada hai
Dono me hi vibrations bohot kam h. RE ke ab wale engines me bohot improvement h, bohot refined hai. Both are very close. 19-20 ka farak h refinement me.
But at the end HONDA is lil more refined than RE.
But jaisa maine kaha bohot jada farak nai h bohot kam farak h dono me. 19-20 ka hi difference h.
Please tell city mileage between this two?
Almost same 33-35 Km/hr in city for both the bikes.
Very good review
Thank you so much. 😊
Service cost ka bhi bohot bada factor h sir... Resale RE ka easy h better price milti h....
@@varunkothari5268 I own both Honda and RE bike so service cost, cost of accessories, cost of parts all are reasonable in Honda considering the quality of service they do. The quality of service centres. Trained and skilled technicians.
So comparatively far better than RE. RE can never reach that level of quality even after being the first manufacturer of bikes in the world.
Right baat hain aapki
Other than engine everything is best in Meteor including looks and RE J7engine is on par with Honda engine. Comfortable and stylish and very good switches, finishing and features.
Service network is big problem...that's why many ppl avoid it..otherwise bike good than RE meteor
Yeah that’s true. But RE is the only company which has the best service network and apart from RE service network is issue for all the international brands including BMW, KAWASAKI, HARLEY, YAMAHA AND HONDA.
That’s why RE beats every other company due to service network and availability of parts and local workshops.
Highness is better
white shirt wale bhai ne meteor se utarte hi bola bhai Honda
😀😀
He is my younger one. 😃
I will choose cb 350
I also chose CB 350 RS and using it from more than a year and covered 10,000 Km
Meteor ❤❤
Thanks for sharing your opinion bro.
I agree.. I drove both but Meteor felt you are driving a worthy expensive n good bike. There is nothing in Highness other than engine all chrome part turn black in a year and no quality. Even a clutch wire is not available locally. Meteor style looks comfort finishing value feel good and accessories. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Well done ✅👍
Thank you so much 😊
Finally Bought husqvarna vitpilen 250.. 😅😅
@@123junu congratulations brother. 😍❤️
How is it performing?
@@jatinkashyap46 performing v well ..
Looks awesome..... Though engine heats up in no time in just 5 km of city ride...
Exclusivity is a major factor... It's not seen on the roads even in a big city like Kolkata ... Lots and lots of stares while idling on the traffic lights.....lots of curious questions and comments.....
Overall , I'm happy...
Thak gaya toh agey piche....????
Nahi hone ka... Utar jaaneka aram karneka... Meteor
Meteor 350 is not a perfect cruiser hybrid cruser perfect cruiser is meteor 650 and Avenger 220and Kawasaki Eliminator 400
Hness ❤

Meteor is more n more better than honda,, meteor ko compare maat karo yeh toh sabko pata hai meteor ka smoothness or har ek chiz ko lekar kitna important se banaya hai even body looks tak,, so meteor 350 is the best n honda gatiya hai or rejected wala bike hai.
Then why people are buying or commenting good about it than other ? Let people choose what they like !
Some people just emotionally choose the bike rather than choosing practically based on specifications. So they don’t see whatever plus points are there. 😀
