I fall in love with this machine everytime I look at it. There is no one like Honda Highness ❤️. In a relationship since 14 months 😁
Did you take it to high altitude? Does engine goes out of breath?
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
How about resale value?
@@lachitu6795 Ppl are crazy after RE in North Bengal. So almost none is interested in Honda 350 because of it's looks.
How does it compare to RE 650 Interceptor, twin carb + 2 Cyl.
I had non-stop ride of around 600 kms(10 hrs ride) with this beast 🔥🔥 and i was surprised about the fuel consumption. I was at 5th Gear 90% of the time and i think mileage was around 45kmpl. How is this possible? I m completely dazzled. Just WoW.
Mine was 1st Anniversary edition.
Is the pillion seat comfortable?
riding in high gears gives high average
@@vaibhavchoudhary7691 very very
What speed you maintained
@@amitkrupal1234 most of the time I was in around 90-100 kmph. Anyways rode Hness 350 for 4 months and again got CB 3550 RS two months back... According to me, Mileage and comfort-wise Hness is far better than my new RS. CB350 RS has smaller wheel so mileage is lesser here than the Hness
In the whole review I liked the most valid point you have made about LED lights .
I don’t know why the so much of gaga for LED lights nowadays . LED looks bright but the illumination is not proper , more over it is very annoying for the opposite side vehicle it completely blinds the other driver . Halogen should only be allowed.👍🏻
Led lights with warm temp can be used. LED will save lot of energy.
you are ryt LED lights should banned
exactly finally someone said it .. halogens are way better.. only Faisal khan gets annoyed of halogen lights
@@kittupathak9930 halogen is natural and doesn't cause eye fatigue over long distances
Finally someone said the truth. LED's are hazard for the opposite direction riders. It blinds the rider completely and makes him almost stop for while till the opposite guy passes. No illumination just a irritation to other riders.
Your point on headlight is spot on. This LED culture is not at all suitable for Indian rural setup and also the high way setup. A simple yellow halogen light would have done wonders. I insist everyone to install AUX lights. Maddog or HJG Aux light would do wonders.
I agree with you on service charges.
Honda should definitely think about it and do not charge additional fitting amount.
Me too an owner for 14 months now. No rusting seen at any area even an welding part or accessories. Just sheer happiness 😊 from this beast. Even now I felt riding this bike as a brand new one. Completed 12k kms and engine is perfect and feeling new always. 👌 build quality with gud braking and safety features.
Iam confused between this and cb 350 rs...any suggestions
Hi Dinesh.. Good to hear there is no rust but can you let me know how well you maintain and the way you maintain
@@pranavambharatanatyam9213 avoid wet washing as far as possible. I used to clean with micro fiber cloth once in 3 days after dusting with normal cloth. I had hardly 4 or 5 wet washes in these 14 month period. Iam from kerala and have regular interval rains.
bro what’s the running cost of this bike??
@@dinesh2759 3rd service aayo? Cost ethra? Wt about life of break pads. Mine almost wornout at 7k km
Would you suggest any mods in the seat for long rides with a pillion? What would work better:
1. SEAT COVER with rubber foam (sahara seats) over STOCK SEAT.
2. SEAT COVER with rubber foam (sahara seats) over SPLIT SEAT.
3. AIR SEATS for both rider & pillion.
4. Any other better alternative you would suggest.
The priority is the pillion comfort.
Send Link bro or where to buy
Yes link and best suggestion please
I took a test ride and fell in love with this machine. Now i own one. It's super smooth in this segment.
Hi bro, how it feels when you cruise it between 100-110.
Please do response if you receive a notification
@@ShubhamSharma-id3bd Dear Shubham, it feels that you are floating. The machine is so smooth and stable you won't feel much of a difference between 80~90 or 110..
@@uziahmed82 thanks for clarifying. And handle bar is stable even on high speed right?
@@ShubhamSharma-id3bd Absolutely yes....
Video Lamba ho ya Chhota don't you worry brother.. poora toh chalega hi.. feel for you, Should have more subscribe than what you have now.. but please remain the humble as you are.. unlike other techies.. 1st one to comment
It's been more than a year since I've bought this bike. I've gone from someone who preferred staying at home to someone who just wants to ride his bike. It's so smooth, precise and such a delightful machine overall.
I heard it's exhaust note is too much loud.... What's your thought on this please share...
Same thing happened to me. I used to stay at home. Now roaming like hell 🤦😂🤣.
Dear how's the comfort level for both pillion and the rider?
Hello Brother , Any heating issue in engine area or foot pegs in city slow moving traffic or while idling plz tell ??
@@sandeepaatrey9512 I haven't faced any heating issues with this bike either in city or highways. Of course the exhaust heats up because it doesn't have a plastic covering, but that's about it.
What an honest review. I am glad dinnertime is finally saying the truth about led in sub 350 cc bikes. Halogens provide easy better visibility than budget leds..
Very good review Ranjan bhai.
I hv complete till now 2000km+. I m satisfied with bike n loving it.
Honda returning has slightly improved low gearing i.e. 5th gear can engaged in 60kmph speed, but felt mileage slightly got down.
Hello Sir , Need ur valuable insight on any heating in engine area or foot pegs & 2 .) Front fender is too small for mud and rain water splashing , any solution ??
@@sandeepaatrey9512
I hv not faced any heating issue in my day to day riding condition. If you riding in heavy trafic Definitely engine will heat up.
Honda is now having mud flap for both Front and rear, u may get it Installed.
Sir nice review.. The problem is with Honda spare parts. Royal enfield spare parts are available with local dealers.. You don't have to go 100 kms to buy spare parts.. You buy locally and get it changed with local mechanic
This is tough. I also waited for months for dealer to open in my city. Earlier dealer was 100 plus kms away
@@vr-124 that's the reason I didn't go for highness i am a Honda fan using activa for last 14 years original generation. Still working very good engine is not opened.. I wanted highness to my first bike but i did research highness spare parts are not available in local garage. No proper accessories available locally and even company doent have when it was launched.. I brought classic 350 reborn.. Everything company fitted with accessories and with warranty..and in my local area the mechanic has all the royal Enfield parts if u need in future. I don't have to struggle for anything. I don't say highness is bad product but when you spend more than 2 lacs on bike.. You don't want that you have to struggle for spare parts and accessories.. My friend owns highness and air filter was needed to be replaced.. The showroom took 10 days to get the air filter.. Air filter is basic part and it was out of stock.. And locally it was not available..
@@niteshramwani1599 how’s the new classic 350?? Also mileage, wait time??
@@ronakbarman3580 I brought it when it was launched.. So it was ready available.. And it's my first bike.. The bike is perfect. In 6 months I didn't face any issue.. Also did long ride of 2800 kms engine is very smooth on even on high speed... No vibration... Milage is between 35 to 38. I got
Honda is Honda buy and forget no issues just do regular service and no issue occurs sadly no such performance from RE
I have a 2010 Honda Unicorn 150cc and still no issue with engine and I only get it service 2 or mostly 3 times a year
If you'll not take care of chrome parts then obviously it starts rusting that's not an issue, one thing is that this bike is a very good eye catcher this bike looks something different on roads , this is best bike I would say in my opinion cuz I like comfort and reliability more than power in a 350cc cruiser bike, if you want power then you can buy a sports fearing or a naked one but cruiser is for comfort more than power in my opinion
Thanks for sharing detailed review. I have booked H'ness pearl black color today. Count down begins for delivery date... Keep traveling and sharing beautiful blogs...
How's the bike now? I think you bought 2 years ago.. so pls let me know bro :)
Maybe rusting iussue has to do with the area where people are using the bike ... for example i had a Honda unicorn for almost 14 years ... all the time i drove it in Pune ( Maharashtra ), Delhi ... Bangalore ( Karnataka ) ... in all these cities it was perfect ... but then i moved to Chennai ( Tamilnadu ) and in almost 3.5 years ...i saw rust on silencer , tank, and many other places ... considering the humidity level of chennai is very high .. that might be reason. But then again it all depends ..
Agree... Humidity really changes the thing
I agree, I have the cb350rs with 7 months and it has rust starting to form under the seat area
Especially if you are staying in coastal areas near to the sea then rusting cannot be avoided. You can only delay the rusting process by spraying diesel on chrome parts after the bike is washed. And then you have to keep spending on polishing. Which is just a waste of time and effort. ....... Ideal would be to purchase a bike with very less chrome me
You are right. I have faced the similar rusting issue for my bike in Chennai
Took wife for a test ride last week, she got a burn from the hot exhaust pipe 🙁 She was annoyed and when asked the sales guy he said it's normal for a 350 cc bike, we will have to be extra careful 🙄 I have temporarily dropped the plan to bring this home 😓
Sell the wife and get the bike. 😂
Wife change karde 😂
If budget allows definitely buy this bike HONDA ❤️
Distant Service centre is enough for changing someone's mind. Considering how far they are.
Gurgaon waalon ke liye shayad zyada problem naa ho kyonki udhar paas paddta hoga unke liye.
Delhi waalo ki lag jayenge🤣, you know.
Woh alag baat hai log long ride ke naam par Bigwing hi jaa rahe ho.😆
R.E. waalo ka centre mil toh jaata hai yahan.
Bike ki quality toh bahut acchi performance wise compared to other same category bikes, but service centre ka issue hai, mujhe aisa lagta hai.
Nice video.
Everything you say is correct and true, it is a good bike but you dont get that fun and ownership pride while riding it, although owning it is definitely something , especially when it is Honda and have 300 plus cc, still dont feel like " I have to have this" feel. And I am not RE fan guys.
Riding by keeping an eye on the eco light will definitely give 40+ mileage.... To my surprise once I got 47.9kmpl in mixed conditions (city + highway)... (I know you are not going to believe this. But its the fact)
I believe you.
I ride early mornings to work and I average 42. I get 46 every time I keep my eye on the eco indicator
I am sure 50 is possible if one hypercruises
After 1st service how much mileage. You got bro..?
@@MariaJaganMariaJayaraj 40+
I changed the chain sprocket on my Duke 250 at 21000 km. Stock mrf tyres still going on strong at 25k km.Spark plug never needed to be changed. Brake pads both rear and front changed only once. 🤪 afterall it depends on how often you take care of your motorcycle and how you ride it. I owned two hondas before. Both needed brake pads to be changed very frequently and the spark plugs needed to be changed also fairly often. It's a common problem among hondas. But yeah i clocked more than 1.8 lakhs km on my last Honda and it is still a gem of a smooth engine. Yeah reliability is top notch on Honda engines. Spares however is questionable.
Which honda do you have?
I bought this bike and driven 20000 km...engine smoothness is on different level...one of my family member bought RE Meteor 350 and I drove for 500km to my surprise it is found to be more comfortable than Hiness 350 and now I regret buying Honda Hiness 350
I believe, Honda should get a twin cylinder bike on this similar platform.
If they bring the prices will touch they sky
Price fir intercepter jitni ho jaegi
❤️👍video! My cb350RS got me started on TH-cam and I'm grateful for it. Many more adventures to go!
Ekdum correct bola, service k naam par loot macha rakhi hai, isi se mood kharab ho jata hai, best hai bahar kisi achche reliable mechanic ko dhoond lo aur usi se sab karwao.
Would have been much more useful sir.. If thr is Subtitle, or in English.. Fan from tamilnadu
Enga bro, evara follow panni enakkea Hindi puriya aarambhichuruchu🤣
@@arv1ndgr y blood ..same blood bro...me too🤣😅
Same with me too. Whole India is comfortable with Hindi except tamils like us.
Looks like the issue is with our politicians and our politics...
Labour charge har ek category mein jyada hai. India mein overall labour cost bad gayi hai mehngai badne ki wajah se. Aap aaj ek ghar bana lo, agar 50 lakh rs lagega material cost ka toh Rs 60 lakh lagega labour ka. Almost 50 : 50 product and labour cost sab industry mein hai
Subscribed today, have been viewing your videos for last 15 months or so. You are too good to be subscribed to. Just a suggestion bro, act a bit badass, people like that more. Please don't take me otherwise, you are real good, but spice it up and bit....😀💐👍
Thanks bro. Will try
Rust & chrome fade is a problem for pretty much most of them living in coastal regions.
I too got high altitude issue in ladhak bro
That was the main problem
Please tell in detail? I am also in dilemma to buy this bike or not because of this one & only issue. My Gixxer 155 also had the same problem but never had any issues in Pulsar 150 & Avenger 220. I have observed that all Japanese bikes have this issue in common don't know why! I know every vehicle's pick up goes down significantly in higher altitude be it two wheeler or four wheeler but in Japanese small bikes its goes down to a troublesome extant. Feels like engine is suffocating & it deny completely to even crowl uphill.
It can't be fixed it's about their engine design
Yellow semi transparent lamination apply.
I also applied on fzs led headlight now all seasons very road view on day night.
Very detailed video
Highly appreciated
I am planning to buy new CB 350
I loved the product and yes honda CB 35P is better than RE
Bike is awesome I have rode avenger 220 for near abt 50k km but I think this one is better bcz braking and handling is better and bike look small In video but it is not
What are you saying? Avenger is the budget cruiser king of India! Looks, performance, mileage, comfort and service, what more could one ask for! If I have highness people on road might confuse it to be RE or Yezdi but Avenger is Avenger 🔥
Deep, you are so honest in ur review that's rare and I appreciate your efforts.
I have watched ur many videos but not subscribed u, because of my mentality that i do not subscribe any TH-cam channel, pls don't mind.
I always like ur videos.
Most awaited video 💯 CB350 😍❤️
mai kaafi time se maan h ess p...may bhi 3days me honda hness le lu...thnkx for the honest info bhai...but ek baat pucchni thi...jo bike ki seat h...wo comfort level kaisa h ya kuch problem h..means kaisa exp h aapka!!?
Its good bro
Need your opinion?
I live in Ahmedabad and we've 2 bigwing showrooms however cannot find much of Honda highness on roads. Its an excellent machine I did a test ride too.
Still cannot understand why people are blindly choosing RE.
Is the after sale service good? Are parts easily available? Do you think Honda has good resale value?
It’s a good bike bro and now all parts are available
@@deepranjansachan is there any risk of discontinueation? I'm in love with the bike since the day I test drove it. My father is however concerned about such issues.
@@shashankmudgal05Hello Bro.. I am from Ahmedabad as well and now I see two H'ness everyday.. Did you buy one?? I am confused between H'Ness and new CB350.
One of the best genuine review I think💥💥,
My biggest con with this bike is seat comfort. I can ride max 1-1.5hrs.
Gel seat try Kari. Fail.
Air cushion try kiya. Good.
Thinking of converting the seat to proper bucket seat.
Bullet ki better hai?
Maine B june M anniversary addtion li h bahut refined engine h I love Honda hness
Good job.. Though i dont own a bike... I liked the efforts taken to give this honest review.... Kept it simple... Loved it... Best of luck.... Keep the simplicity going.... I appreciate your integeity, respect, honest, being friendly, confident acceptance, suggestions :)
Just bought Honda Hness Anniversary edition green color yesterday. The ride feeling is mind blowing. Its sooooo smooth, way better thn RE n Jawa
Hello Brother , Any heating issue in engine area or foot pegs in city slow moving traffic or while idling plz tell ??
@sandeepaatrey9512 under heavy traffic while moving at a speed of 10-20km/hr and regular stopping you might feel some heat if it's more than 10-15 mints.
Or else, no heating issue ever.
Anyone faced Alloy issue on Highness? I got new Highness 15 days back and recently got to know about alloy defects on rear alloy. There are small holes, seems to be manufacturing defects. showroom says, alloy needs to be sent to Honda for checking and I will have to wait 10-15 day without bike
Bhaisahab aapne itna honest detailed review diye k maja aa gaya!
Hi Deep, very detailed review. Just wanted to ask if there is any issue with break pads?
Best long term review ever of Highness 😍😍 hope to get one soon
All TH-cam History One of the best & Genuine Review On Honda Highness CB35, Thanks bade bhai
Did you need to adjust tappets anytime or do this bike have tappet sound?
Ji, whatever, whichever, whenever top brand car comes with superb quality, car lovers choices are in the range of benz, bmw, audi for premium product if the budget is no problem, likewise royal enfield is the most people's budgeted proven premium motor cycle with frequent updation with fine expertise of technical people around the world. After all 100 year old evergreen company is the future harley davidson i think, any top company dont give up so soon.
Well done RE u make other top ones fight,means u are real modernised retro INDIAN.
very nice video Deep. should we go for base variant or top one?
You said that right hard suspension doesn't get you tired.
Honda Hiness is not going beyond 80 km. The bike has undergone 1st servicing. 2nd service is due. Can anyone give a reply? Is it an issue or cleared after 2nd servicing?
Bhai eski normal service kitne kilomeetar baad hoti hai , reply plz
the most detailed and accurate long term review video for honda highness🙌🙌🙌
Hi Deep Ranjan, the review was very helpful. 👍 Please add a few inputs regarding seat height and feel when maneuvering the vehicle manually (with ignition off) . Thanks 🌝
It is quiet heightened...comfortable for a 5'9 guy but still do for 5'6 somehow
@@punitrawal1350 I sat on the CB350 two weeks after posting the question. The saddle height is 800mm (just like my 2011 Unicorn). I am around 5'6" myself and it feels quite manageable 🌝
Good and worthy sharing ……. 👍.
Cost of chain sprockets ?, small maintenances like chain tightening & chain lubrication do u every time visit Honda gold wing showroom or regular mechanics do it ?, and what is the cost you pay to get these services ?
I used to have honda unicorn for 14 years.
I purchased a second hand cb350 for 1.5 lakh just 2 years old..
After using cb350 for 20k km I am planning to buy again honda unicorn..
I enjoyed using cb350 for 6 months.
Now finding it heavy in city traffic..
Thanks for the positive review.
Feeling confident to buy one now.

Bhot hota hai bhai
Bro Honda the power of dream 🔥
Deep bhai i want to know about handle wobbling issue , have you ever face any kind of wobble in this bike??
Very informative review, I'm planning to buy this bike after a test ride
Thanks for the detailed information and you have a very good attitude my brother.
May be rusting problem coastal areas me aati hogi. Where do you stay?

What a honest review bro ❤

Nice video 👍, I recently bought anniversary edition and would like to know that is it mandatory to ride the bike with a speed of 60 kmpl for first 1000 kms or till first service? Or I can go till 80 kmpl or beyond that speed?

THANK YOUU.. just what i need
HOWZ SERVICE & COST ?
Bahut logo ko ye bike pasand aati h aur khush bhi h unko congratulations🎉 but mujhe iske looks RE k samne jyada acche nhi lgte. Isko dekh kr retro bike ki feel bilkul nhi aati ekdm common look lgta h but ha thump accha hai
Low end torque kaisa h bike ka..
City ride mein Frequently gear change karne padte h kya?
Ok hai
I have 5'4" hight so I want to buy Hunter but I saw your video and I want to clarify my doubt that would be I ride this bike easily?
I own hero xpluse200, didn't service charges yet , they changed only for engine oil and parts if install only.
Very good review. Love from Bangladesh. Subscribed ❤️
Yezdi roadster vs re hunter vs cb350rs vs yezdi scrambler , mein se kaun si leni chahiye?
review that i was looking for.. thanks
Every youtuber is scared to criticize Royal Enfield because of fear of audience loss or backlash..
But most of the people know that Royal Enfield delivers just everage quality bikes and experience.
This bike is surely qaulity in every bit,
Very shiny Accessories make a Jazzy looking shiny bike which doesnt appeal the classy riders.
I have driven RE and also rested this Bike , this bike is a Smooth Dependable Cruiser.
Such an honest review, keep up the good work
Future me lunga honda cb highness 🎉❤❤
Bhai, maza aya aapka review dekh kr 👌🏽❤️
Will buy soon... Solved all douts
Hi Deep, thank you for detail but honest review. You have made me easy to decide now. I have been ridding RE Thunderbird 350x for last few years and now thinking to change my bike but was not so sure which one to go with between RE Meteor or Honda H ness ! But now, I think I have a fairly good idea which one to go with! Many thanks for your effort. Have a safe ride, Oh by the way I’m in Nepal and hope you have ridden here too( mostly rough road conditions). Hope Honda H’ness will tackle these pod holes well!! Cheers
Thanks bro
Which bike did you end up getting? And what’s your feedback.
I’m currently in the same spot where I’m confused between Highness, CB350 RS and Meteor.
Does it wobble? As many people are facing this issue in this bike
Yes it does , Its an issue that will come one day maybe for some after 5k kms for some after 10k but i think it will come eventually , i dropped the plan to buy this , such a great bike ruined
Sir mere gadi ka paint nikal gya hai kya service center pe same colour paint karke denge or uska charge kya hai ? Please answer
Thanks for letting us know regarding fitting charges
The way you pronounce YEZDI is epic😀
*Great review man, thank u so much*
Well my mirror gets loose always, the mirror rods and handle bar are catching rust. You are lucky that you have not faced this issue.
Bro suggest me the best bike between v storm 250 and highness my need is performance , comfort , features good for touring which bike have better loading capacity pls reply and reliability is must ❤️❤️
Both are good bro
Clutch se ungliyan Kali ho jati hai kafi der drive karne par aur fuel cap ke side me joint ke pas rusting hogi plz check it
Yes I too have experienced this.
Deep bhai you are the reason i bought this bike 😇😇😇
Thanks bhai 😊 it's a good ownership review 🙏
Very nice video. I'm about to book a Highness.
