Spectacular video Raj...both Honda n Tirumph should listen to this ... Thanks...is it possible to meet in Pune. I recently purchased CB. Will be great pleasure to meet you in person.
Super video, this is how a REAL comparision should look like. All the others are giving superficial info & not explaining the differences.Very impressive Raj bhai, keep it up.
Perfectly laid out details that no other UA-camr has done yet. Explaining comparison parameters in layman's language is tough but you have made it lucid to understand. Lastly congratulations for booking Speed 400!
Very good analysis, I will add two bits of mine too...HD as you said is an rebatched version of Hero bikes planning on selling only on the brand name, T is actually in a similar position... that it's a Domino engine retouched with T accessories and quality control...Whereas CB was designed to take on a market leader which is always the most difficult thing to do, so Honda took their time in designing a vehicle which would be absolutely maintenence friendly and long lasting.. the way Hero Honda Splendor was...CB is a bike which will last for years , which is not going to be the case of these two newly launched bikes, plus no one talks about the refinement of the engine with zero vibration which is class apart.
Yeah like i mentioned the inner engine platform assumingly is the same KTM with T spending most of their development time on how designing the external cases to match the crankcase. Yes, regarding the CB it's a difficult decision to let it go..

@@RajkaGarage people with height above 5'9 and muscular physique are still gonna wait for scram 400x .. me being with the height of 5'10 is not at all interested in speed 400.. .plus its not gonna eat 350 classic sales.... it will affect cb350 sales but not that much. The bikes which are going to be affected most by this are 650twins , duke 390 etc
Bang on...This is the actually technical review.. can you take your precious time n do a similar comparison bet Harley 440x vs Triumph speed 400. This is something which will give a better n helpfully buying decision.
@RajkaGarage your technical information is extremely valuable and make us more knowledgeable. Very important for young buyers who probably may blind follow brand name rather then actual technology.
Thanks for this indepth comparison which should be known by a prospective buyer. As rightly said Triumphs attributes are better than CB on all aspects. The gearing of the CB disappoints me most which probably may not be a handicap for Triumph wherein one can ride at higher gears at lower speeds without engine knocking. Triumph ground clearance at 155 mm is probably the only con. Triumph will be the major player in this segment if it keeps the service/ spares cost at reasonable levels unlike BMW 310 cc ( TVS ) where the headlight console costs over 52 K & chain costs 28 k & normal service costs around 8 k . Looking forward for future contents .
@@RajkaGarageMy passion matches to yours. Been riding since 1977 and have fair idea about motorcycles. I would have booked Triumph but since I am riding TVS Ronin which appeals to me for its ergonomics, and all other attributes and is perfect for my requirements of comfort,mileage, heat management, front UDF, fit & finish, lower weight, all led illumiations ,lower service cost , 4 valve engine , i am deferring my purchase decision till I get feedback from u Tubers like you
Great video sir. Gained a lot of knowledge and comparison between both bike. After though video was too long. I gone through a complete video. Sir aap subscribes ke liye bahut mehnat karte ho.❤
I was particularly interested over 4 piston caliper and X type chain ring. If it brings the power promised on paper, it is definately winning the game. Also you had beautifully explained all the differences. Especially Upside down fork was well explained. Looking forward for your test ride impressions, Happy riding :)
Was waiting for XSR155 from 2019 20 also was following meteor 350 and CB 350 but after launch of CB350RS i falled for this bike and specially that big rear tyre in 350CC engine. Bajaj X Triumph is being known from last year 2022 and i was aware of it also love for Triumph but Bajaj partnership worried me and i made my decision to buy CB 350 RS in 2023 Jan. I am happy with my decision as i am getting all i want just that sprocket issue is real which i hate. Also BS6 has downgraded this whole segment otherwise if it was BS4 we could have expected more from CB too ❤. Also i will suggest go for Scrambler version Speed 400 is nothing but Hunter in looks saw it while testing in Pune.

Rajbhai...Thanks for Sharing Specs and Explaining each and every points in minute Details. I would like to share my views:- 1. Gr clearance is big let down by Triumph. 2. As compared to Mech Cable wire cables wil be prone for Rodent attacks. Not sure though. 3. Steel vs Al frame. Steel is stronger and Al may crack. Wrt Purpose Steel is i feel always better and stronger also considering Maintenance Steel is always beter then Al. 4. Upside down forks has drawback when their is a oil leak, it will always be dangerous. Its better in such conditions to have conventional forks. 5. Maintenance cycle log royenge when they will go for yheir6 scheduled maintenance at 16k or 1yr whichever is lesser. Also Oil change at huge interval as you said will be a major burning issue. Thats wait and watch for a periodic review 6. Bhai agar KTM yaa Dominor kaa engine hai to phir KTM yaa Dominor kyuun naa le...ek review ispar banta hai.. I maybe incorrect at many places above. Will share your video at maximum as I can.. Thanks Bro.... Jaisalmer kaa Vblog to banta hi hai...hum sab fans ke liye to...bhale aapko boring lage...Hamare liye..isliye to appke fans hai...Take help of Abhishek Desai if needed...dono milkar blog karo.
Considering above points, I think CB350 is better then Triumph, looking at Long Stroke feel, Stronger Body, Longetivity and Periodic or Breakdown Maintenance wise, Maintenable Shock Ups.. Just for Fun n Speed Triumph le lu...then why not think about KTM and Dominor.....CB has its own class....
Raj Bhaiya! Just the video I was waiting for - thank you! These details can't be found anywhere else. You're a gem. You're my new favorite Physics teacher. I could learn science through motorcycling through you. I just wish the Speed 400 had a lower seat height like the Speed Twin 900. I hope Triumph uses the platform to launch a more accessible bike, height-wise. Agar isme paer theek se neeche ayenge toh CB Pitaji ko dedunga.
Thanks buddy 😊. Actually the 2 cm of lower height at 790 mm is just enough for riders with 5.4-5.6 to manage this machine. Plus the weight at 176kg will be another benefit compared to the 180+ of other machines in this category.
Big aevocate of fortnine channel.Subscribed, was looking for a serious,matured ,technkcally inclined amd experienced ones. All other reviews are so loaded with adjectives and what have uou. Please continue to cover deseving bike reviews. Good luck
Nice comparison in detail . Even a normal biker like me come to know all these things in detail . Regarding speed 400, really having a doubt on the genuineness of engine as to whether a truely triumph make or an advanced KTM or Dominar engine.
Once you buy, please share the charges they are adding in the bill, im really looking forward your ride and technical vidoes to maintain this triumph bike. Also waiting for Scrambler 400x ride review, so i can book that.
Such very good explanation but FYI. 1. It produce 21 ps power. 2. 37+ mileage in highway is not kind of possible (in my opinion) as it is a high raving 400 cc engine. but as you r saying and I respect your statement so have to wait for that.
Thanks buddy 😊.. Just a clarification.. CB is 2 valve engine. Have seena a common confusion amongst few between the 4S IC engine mentioned in the manual which refers to 4 stroke Internal combustion engine. Regarding the mileage, yes lets see what happens in real world based experience.
Anytime buddy...have seen few other comments that are talking about this..I guess it's coz of some big automobile media houses giving this incorrect information on thier print media and videos aswell.. sadly that's the difference between people who have real world greasy life Vs reel world greasy life.🙂
Bhau ramram🙏, Khup informative video agadi nehamipramanech. Need ur opinion on the final drive of cb 350, wish it to ne more tractible with fair bottom end torque. What are the options for me to play with final gear ratio of it. What are the direct fit options for sprockets pls throw some light on the subject matter. Heard the available options like gixxer 250 front sprocket, cb 500 rear sprocket only. Your guidance will be appreciated🙏
Ram ram🙏.. ani dhanyawad 😊. Yes CB500X rear sprocket is an option but needs a longer chain aswell (106-7Links) and costs some 5k if I am not wrong. Just wait for some time I am working on this to get something specific for the CB. Just another month or so..
I disagree with Raj on the Triumphs mileage. Its going to be around 27 for the speed in the city and around 32 on highway.. my other 2 cents, its going to more uncomfortable for pillion, and more top heavy.. compared to the CB. Dont get me wrong i think its a terrific bike and i too booked it as soon as the price was announced.. 😂
superb! my heart is oving lightly toward speed 400 over cb350. still i have covered 11k km no any wobbling issue gn one of my friend facing with in 3k km don't know exactly whats reason
Thank you it’s very informative. As you said 39 and 30 mileage on highway and city but as we seen some tests it’s came 25 around will it fix after service or what can you explain this. Thank you. Also I need a bike shall I go for speed 400 or meteor as pavilion concern for family also speed 400 looking some what compact in size
This a perfect video from a perfect technical guy, just like you..im 40+, riding cb 350 from 2yrs and booked triumph 400 as soon as i saw the launch and specs. Whats your take on the scrambler version of the same ? I'm little inclined towards it...pls let me know your thoughts. Thanks
Thanks buddy 😊.. The Scram is identical in terms of specs and if you are 5.6+ I would have no hesitation in saying go for it.. the saddle height is at 820 something for the Scram..
Raj bhai what are you comparing Sir? CB is a different segment all together hence the spec sheet, whereas the new triumph 400 is a naked sports tourer segment bike. We can never compare the power and torque figure of a cruiser to a naked sports bike. Both of them are equally good at their segments. The way you have demonstrated is quite impressive but I don't agree of the comparison of two bikes from different segments.
Hey Partha, completely agree with your thoughts if we have to look at both bikes from a segment perspective. The intent here was to call out how Honda had the opportunity to eat into the pie of the RE and become a proven substitute for the RE. They worked all the way from scratch to enter a segment where someone else was and is still assumed as the undisputed leader but still only gave a product which is at par in terms of specs. Infact went to an extent to naming thier baby identical to the segment leader (Royal = Highness). For a Honda, it was not too difficult to provide a 4V DOCH 400cc engine. Why replicate that is already available, why not go atleast one step above. Btw.. my close friends in Honda dealerships are already feeling the heat with bookings getting cancelled and customers posting advt in CB groups with CB for sale saying planning to buy the T 400. Though specs wise they are different, the share in the pie is from the same segment for them..
Guruji, kuch CB ka performance linear karne ka upay bataye. Aur DB killer lagane ka experiment bhi kar dijiye. I find the sound irritating at high speed. I would prefer not to take a 70-80k hit on replacing my CB with a new bike.
I'm also experiencing knocking in 2nd 3rd gear if I'm accelerating hard.. never experienced this in another bike.. bike has run 5k km. That's why I was exploring fuelx and/or powertronic, as the ultimate "lazy guy" solution to this problem.
One question for this, do wheelbase cause any lag/affect in the machine's speed or power delivery? In no, then can we change the size of the tyres or type of tyre to increae the height of T400? How else can we increase that heing by let's say 1-2cm?
Hello sir! I am planning to buy cb350 highness but the nearest bigwing showroom is 250km away from my house and i am okay to take delivery from that city but i cant take my bike everytime for service and i also Heard that the service cost is very high for bigwing bikes. So my question was that can i service that bike in normal honda workshops for first 3 free services because anyways i am going to service it in home or any good garages near my house after the free services
5.7" ke liye 400X bhi chal jayega .. sure dono bikes pe zaroor video banunga.. subject to mujhe koi test ride ke bike liye bike mile.. mera subscriber count ki wajah se shayad mujhe koi ginti mein nahi pakadta 😁
Hi Raj, very informative video and learnt lots of new stuff. As you said, no youtuber has explained the pros and cons of the specifications. I own a cb350rs and currently using Motul 300V engine oil after seeing your video. I'm using BMC air filter right now and want to know your opinion on using Red rooster exhaust and Powertronics ECU.
Thanks buddy 😊.. looking at your current specs itself I feel your CB is already a loaded bike. I wouldn't recommend exhaust change as you are already running lean(equals to more heat) with the BMC filter and a red rooster will further add heat to the exhaust side aswell. Powertronics ECU will help you with more top end but costs around 19k if am not wrong..
@@RajkaGarage Yes powertronic ECU costs 19k. But why don't you recommend exhaust? It improves the bike's performance more as the air intake is sorted with BMC Air filter and the exhaust will improve the outflow more right? Correct me if I'm wrong
Great analysis. I love ny cb350 but i somehow felt that it was not an upgrade from Mahindra mojo. I bought cb because of the renown honda reliability to be honest. But after Triumph, my mind is saying sell it and go for the speed400. I am a daily commuter and ocassional long distance tourer. I am happy with cb except its low rpm pull. Do you think it would be a good decision to sell it and go for Triumph?
hello,inthis vdo, you just said that you do service on an interval of like 5k kms/ 12 months, so every six months when the sc guys messages/calls you to force service,how do you respond to that???
I have heard that the ground clearance on the speed is 165-170 mm . I don't think it will be 155mm . some reviewers i have seen have said that The height and everything feels almost like cb350 rs. I'm almost 5 9 after watching yhese reviews I was convinced it will be comfortable for me. Could you clarify on this?
My thoughts exactly on the Honda CB 350. I had this bike briefly for 8-9 months, drove 9700kms. It is not a Honda, it is a Bullet made by Honda. They should have given twin cylinders like the original CB350 of 70s, or increased the capacity to 400cc or 450. Otherwise it is reliable, but it has this image problem of a wannabe Bullet. I now ride a meteor 350 for the last 18000kms!😊
The only mistake Honda made was to just create something that beat the Bullet 350 in every aspect. They did succeed in doing that, but they should have aimed much higher. If these new Triumphs turn out to be successful then it's high time other manufacturers realize that they shouldn't just make bare minimum motorcycles at inflated prices for Indian customers
Twins would have taken the price to 5+ which is typically Honda strategy on pricing. Like they Fkd up with the 300F pricing for a 300cc Hornet.. A 400 or 450 was the way to go.. something that would be little caution to ride...not a toy .😁
They are already selling less than 30-40 units per month in metro showrooms.. god save them if T picks up... A price they will have to pay for being conservative and taking the Indian market which is one of the largest..for granted..
@@RajkaGarage It's a classic Japanese blunder. They always create something incredibly amazing whilst completey ignoring some glaring issues, and product becomes outdated very quickly. I absolutely love my CB350, it's perfect at what it does. But could've been easily much better at the price point. Let's see if the Triumphs are not just good on paper, and if Honda trumps them in terms of reliability, cheap spare parts, service experience, etc.
Very well said.. can't agree more on this.. Somehow the current Japanese management is just a rubber stamp. I have worked in Kinetic Honda and later with Escorts Yamaha in my past and have seen how the Japs would think out every detail thing regardless of the competition which was very less in those days, the product was not only developed from a customer perspective, but even from a service perspective. The KiHo was a way ahead of its times in 1986..
I think this bike might be small for you.. i.e. wheelbase is shorter than CB .. On different note how is the idemitsu 10w30 doing on your bike ? Is Motul 104062 5100 a good alternative?
According to my opinion the triumph speed 400 is not worth it , because the chain drive come to the right side which take very efforts to lube the chain because of the exhaust pipe , And to change the brake pads their is saree guard again one more trouble and their is very minimum space between the saree guard and disc brake , another issue is the alloys of the triumph speed 400 don't think they are made for indian roads . And the triumph has give ride by wire setup which has some amount of lag in accleraction and if some how , something happen to the sensor of ride by wire it will be expensive to change , this bike come with short stroke engine so the ktm 390 any day better than this bike according to the acceleraction, handling , one more issue is service network . Dont know who will handle the service network either it is bajaj or triump , if the bajaj takes care of the service of this bike then great then it is very risky ,Thinking about this bike it provides you good quility and triumph logo on tank decent power and nothing else , The price of the triumph speed 400 is marketing strategy afer the 2 or 3 month it will going to increase . no hate for triump it is just my opinion .
Absolutely. Food for thought.. In real terms, if one has to use this bike for touring purposes aswell, I do some apprehension as the silencer has a steep upswept angle which may make it difficult to load it with touring saddle bags etc..
Cb350 clutch sensor issue some times it starts in gear and some times it doesn’t. I don’t have reach to service centre due to remote location so please make video on replacing sensor.
Bro this happens due to excessive play in the clutch lever. Please get the free play adjusted from any good local mechanic and spray some WD40 on the back of the lever where the clutch switch is located. This will solve the problem.
@@RajkaGarage just tried it but same issue as i removed both couplers from sensor and touch together while pressing clutch bike starts in gear so i think issue is in sensor.
@@RajkaGarage thank you problem solved. My bike suddenly got dead even meter consol was not lighting up. I contacted bigwing and they asked to check battery as there was copper rust which was the issue. After removing rust all problems resolved automatically.
Congratulations on your purchase of Speed 400. 👍👍👍 Sir, I think Honda CB350 does come with 4 valves. Please correct me if I am wrong. An excellent vlog as usual, where you explain all the technicals in layman terms.
Thanks buddy 😊.. Booked for sure... wheather it accompanies the other machines in Raj Ka Garage will be something to look forward to.. CB is a 2 valve SOHC engine. Have seen few other comments on this which I guess is due to the incorrect information given by few big automobile media houses in thier print media and videos. 😀
Hello Raj Sir, I would like to request you for make a video on Race Dynamics India Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore, Karnataka's products i.e. PowerTronic, FuelX, FlashX, Harness, Switch. What is the purpose, use, benefits, utilities, pros and cons, useful or not for Honda Highness CB350 motorcycle? I want to know about their products' functionality in Honda Highness CB350 motorcycle.🙏
Fir bhi 10k kms max strech karna chahiye.. humlog cars mein bhi full synthetic oil ko 10k se jyada nahi khicte.. jabke oils like Mobil 1 unka drain period 15k kms tak bolte hai.. Especially for 2 wheelers..Jahan same oil clutch aur engine dono mein use hota hai.. waha itna bada drain period nahi karna mangta hai..
Sir ji engine oil capacity par bhi depend karega.yadi engine oil 2.5 se above hai to 15000 bhi arram se chalegi upar se liquid cooled . So Viscosity of engine oil do not effect from heat and also fins has been given. Three type cooling system work . Any way see in future
Sir please share your contact number i want to purchase triumph scrambler 400 X but my younger brother is insisting to purchase Honda CB350. Need your help to finalize one of them. I would be using it on daily basis for long term. My daily use is 50 km minimum.
I was also in that impression till I physically saw single valves on - How To Adjust Valve Clearance In A Motorcycle ft. Honda H'ness CB 350 | Tappets Explained | Demo - Dipayan Bose
Not sure where this incorrect information is coming from. But if it's is coming from some automobile media houses on thier print or AV media, then that's the difference between people who belong to the real greasy field Vs people from the reel world.😀 Trust me, it's a 2 valve SOHC engine 🙂 Check the above comment from @arv1nd . He has also given a link to one such video on the valve train from Dipayan Bose... I generally don't cover these things or talk about in videos due personal reasons ,but there are several instances when I am consulted by few Bigwing service centers for critical fault diagnosis (ofcourse due to my previous connection with Honda) and i end up spending my weekend in thier workshop.😀.

Thanks Bro.... Jaisalmer kaa Vblog to banta hi hai...hum sab fans ke liye to...bhale aapko boring lage...Hamare liye..isliye to appke fans hai...Take help of Abhishek Desai if needed...dono milkar blog karo.
Considering above points, I think CB350 is better then Triumph, looking at Long Stroke feel, Stronger Body, Longetivity and Periodic or Breakdown Maintenance wise, Maintenable Shock Ups..
Just for Fun n Speed Triumph le lu...then why not think about KTM and Dominor.....CB has its own class....
Ayega ayega.. Jaisalmer blog ayega 😜
Raj Bhaiya! Just the video I was waiting for - thank you! These details can't be found anywhere else. You're a gem.
You're my new favorite Physics teacher. I could learn science through motorcycling through you.
I just wish the Speed 400 had a lower seat height like the Speed Twin 900. I hope Triumph uses the platform to launch a more accessible bike, height-wise.
Agar isme paer theek se neeche ayenge toh CB Pitaji ko dedunga.
Thanks buddy 😊.
Actually the 2 cm of lower height at 790 mm is just enough for riders with 5.4-5.6 to manage this machine. Plus the weight at 176kg will be another benefit compared to the 180+ of other machines in this category.
Very informative & very nicely explained…Keep up the good & honest work…👌👍
Big aevocate of fortnine channel.Subscribed, was looking for a serious,matured ,technkcally inclined amd experienced ones. All other reviews are so loaded with adjectives and what have uou. Please continue to cover deseving bike reviews. Good luck
Nice comparison in detail . Even a normal biker like me come to know all these things in detail . Regarding speed 400, really having a doubt on the genuineness of engine as to whether a truely triumph make or an advanced KTM or Dominar engine.
Thanks buddy 😊.. once I get hands on one of these machines.. will sure confirm.. for now the cylinder dimensions are giving this doubt...
Information given in simple language of technical analysis is excellent Sir
Once you buy, please share the charges they are adding in the bill, im really looking forward your ride and technical vidoes to maintain this triumph bike. Also waiting for Scrambler 400x ride review, so i can book that.
Nice explanation, Triumph ka Card Chalega sure!
Yes.. Bajaj's 'Triumph Card' 😀
Awesome boss RAJ BHAI what a video explained beautifully
Thanks buddy 😊
I appreciate your explanation and knowledge. Keep it up, you will grow so high. Just one suggestion to make videos duration less.
Thanks buddy 😊. And yes.. agreed..even I feel concerned when the video becomes too long 😁..
*agrees* with the analysis, you would know the technical specs ... But I feel this segment is getting exciting for sure!!
Guruji ...ankhe khol di.....dnaywad ......
Thanks Raj, I hope I could buy the ST1200. Let's see how this performs on the road. Appreciate the detailed explanation.
Thanks buddy 😊
Such very good explanation but FYI.
1. It produce 21 ps power.
2. 37+ mileage in highway is not kind of possible (in my opinion) as it is a high raving 400 cc engine. but as you r saying and I respect your statement so have to wait for that.
Thanks buddy 😊..
Just a clarification.. CB is 2 valve engine. Have seena a common confusion amongst few between the 4S IC engine mentioned in the manual which refers to 4 stroke Internal combustion engine.
Regarding the mileage, yes lets see what happens in real world based experience.
@@RajkaGarage Yes. thanks for clearing the confusion. I was having wrong info that honda has 4V but sadly it's 2 :( .
Anytime buddy...have seen few other comments that are talking about this..I guess it's coz of some big automobile media houses giving this incorrect information on thier print media and videos aswell.. sadly that's the difference between people who have real world greasy life Vs reel world greasy life.🙂
Bhau ramram🙏,
Khup informative video agadi nehamipramanech. Need ur opinion on the final drive of cb 350, wish it to ne more tractible with fair bottom end torque. What are the options for me to play with final gear ratio of it.
What are the direct fit options for sprockets pls throw some light on the subject matter.
Heard the available options like gixxer 250 front sprocket, cb 500 rear sprocket only. Your guidance will be appreciated🙏
Ram ram🙏.. ani dhanyawad 😊.
Yes CB500X rear sprocket is an option but needs a longer chain aswell (106-7Links) and costs some 5k if I am not wrong.
Just wait for some time I am working on this to get something specific for the CB.
Just another month or so..
Very useful information Raj Bhai, thank you very much 👍👍👍
Thanks buddy 😊
Amazing video bhai. Make Many more like this
Thanks buddy 😊
This is a real video of comperision 👌👌👌👌
Thanks buddy 😊
I disagree with Raj on the Triumphs mileage. Its going to be around 27 for the speed in the city and around 32 on highway.. my other 2 cents, its going to more uncomfortable for pillion, and more top heavy.. compared to the CB. Dont get me wrong i think its a terrific bike and i too booked it as soon as the price was announced.. 😂
Yeah can be..like I said ..it's just my guess.. but like you said it could well be in the Dominar range given that it's a high rpm engine..
superb! my heart is oving lightly toward speed 400 over cb350. still i have covered 11k km no any wobbling issue gn one of my friend facing with in 3k km don't know exactly whats reason
Thank you it’s very informative. As you said 39 and 30 mileage on highway and city but as we seen some tests it’s came 25 around will it fix after service or what can you explain this. Thank you.
Also I need a bike shall I go for speed 400 or meteor as pavilion concern for family also speed 400 looking some what compact in size
This a perfect video from a perfect technical guy, just like you..im 40+, riding cb 350 from 2yrs and booked triumph 400 as soon as i saw the launch and specs. Whats your take on the scrambler version of the same ? I'm little inclined towards it...pls let me know your thoughts. Thanks
Thanks buddy 😊..
The Scram is identical in terms of specs and if you are 5.6+ I would have no hesitation in saying go for it.. the saddle height is at 820 something for the Scram..
Raj bhai what are you comparing Sir? CB is a different segment all together hence the spec sheet, whereas the new triumph 400 is a naked sports tourer segment bike. We can never compare the power and torque figure of a cruiser to a naked sports bike. Both of them are equally good at their segments. The way you have demonstrated is quite impressive but I don't agree of the comparison of two bikes from different segments.
Hey Partha, completely agree with your thoughts if we have to look at both bikes from a segment perspective.
The intent here was to call out how Honda had the opportunity to eat into the pie of the RE and become a proven substitute for the RE. They worked all the way from scratch to enter a segment where someone else was and is still assumed as the undisputed leader but still only gave a product which is at par in terms of specs. Infact went to an extent to naming thier baby identical to the segment leader (Royal = Highness).
For a Honda, it was not too difficult to provide a 4V DOCH 400cc engine. Why replicate that is already available, why not go atleast one step above.
Btw.. my close friends in Honda dealerships are already feeling the heat with bookings getting cancelled and customers posting advt in CB groups with CB for sale saying planning to buy the T 400.
Though specs wise they are different, the share in the pie is from the same segment for them..
Awesome technicality bro..... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Guruji, kuch CB ka performance linear karne ka upay bataye. Aur DB killer lagane ka experiment bhi kar dijiye. I find the sound irritating at high speed. I would prefer not to take a 70-80k hit on replacing my CB with a new bike.
Watch this space.. WIP to take care of the final drive ratio of the CB..this will be a specific solution for the CB..not a make shift arrangement..
I'm also experiencing knocking in 2nd 3rd gear if I'm accelerating hard.. never experienced this in another bike.. bike has run 5k km. That's why I was exploring fuelx and/or powertronic, as the ultimate "lazy guy" solution to this problem.
As always Superb Bro...👌
Thanks buddy 😊
This is better than a screen record
Thanks buddy 😊
One question for this, do wheelbase cause any lag/affect in the machine's speed or power delivery? In no, then can we change the size of the tyres or type of tyre to increae the height of T400? How else can we increase that heing by let's say 1-2cm?
Congratulations sir🎉🎉
Hello sir! I am planning to buy cb350 highness but the nearest bigwing showroom is 250km away from my house and i am okay to take delivery from that city but i cant take my bike everytime for service and i also Heard that the service cost is very high for bigwing bikes. So my question was that can i service that bike in normal honda workshops for first 3 free services because anyways i am going to service it in home or any good garages near my house after the free services
Hello Raj
Brilliant explanation... can we meet in person whenever you are in Pune?
Sir ji 400 speed or 400x dono book kar rakhi hai. Height 5'7" hai konsi purchase Karu . Ek video 400x ki seat position par banaye
5.7" ke liye 400X bhi chal jayega .. sure dono bikes pe zaroor video banunga.. subject to mujhe koi test ride ke bike liye bike mile.. mera subscriber count ki wajah se shayad mujhe koi ginti mein nahi pakadta 😁
Hope that soon you will get your Target
Very Nicely Explained Sir🙏😇
Thanks buddy 😊
So far I Know that CB350 Hness is 4 Stroke OHC single cylinder, 4-valve engine
Sir can you mention valve clearance ratio of honda highness cb 350
Wonderful explanation!
Awesome raj bhai....❤
Thanks buddy 😊
Hi Raj, very informative video and learnt lots of new stuff. As you said, no youtuber has explained the pros and cons of the specifications.
I own a cb350rs and currently using Motul 300V engine oil after seeing your video. I'm using BMC air filter right now and want to know your opinion on using Red rooster exhaust and Powertronics ECU.
Thanks buddy 😊.. looking at your current specs itself I feel your CB is already a loaded bike. I wouldn't recommend exhaust change as you are already running lean(equals to more heat) with the BMC filter and a red rooster will further add heat to the exhaust side aswell.
Powertronics ECU will help you with more top end but costs around 19k if am not wrong..
@@RajkaGarage Yes powertronic ECU costs 19k.
But why don't you recommend exhaust? It improves the bike's performance more as the air intake is sorted with BMC Air filter and the exhaust will improve the outflow more right?
Correct me if I'm wrong
Yes, that's correct. I am only concerned about the bike running little hot, which is not good for the engine in long run.
Great analysis. I love ny cb350 but i somehow felt that it was not an upgrade from Mahindra mojo. I bought cb because of the renown honda reliability to be honest. But after Triumph, my mind is saying sell it and go for the speed400. I am a daily commuter and ocassional long distance tourer. I am happy with cb except its low rpm pull. Do you think it would be a good decision to sell it and go for Triumph?
Have you made the decision?
Why is it not E20 compliant... please share inputs about this factor also.
Sir please post Jaisalmer vlogs
hello,inthis vdo, you just said that you do service on an interval of like 5k kms/ 12 months, so every six months when the sc guys messages/calls you to force service,how do you respond to that???
I only did 1st free service from the ASC for formality. And since then I have been doing the service by self. It will be almost 3 years in Oct.
Very good detailed video Sir ❤
Great detailed info Brother👍
Well explained Raj sir
Thanks buddy 😊
I have heard that the ground clearance on the speed is 165-170 mm .
I don't think it will be 155mm . some reviewers i have seen have said that The height and everything feels almost like cb350 rs. I'm almost 5 9 after watching yhese reviews I was convinced it will be comfortable for me.
Could you clarify on this?
Yes buddy, you may be right..this 156mm GC is a overheard number.. will surely get the exact one once I get my hands on one of machines.
My thoughts exactly on the Honda CB 350. I had this bike briefly for 8-9 months, drove 9700kms. It is not a Honda, it is a Bullet made by Honda. They should have given twin cylinders like the original CB350 of 70s, or increased the capacity to 400cc or 450. Otherwise it is reliable, but it has this image problem of a wannabe Bullet. I now ride a meteor 350 for the last 18000kms!😊
The only mistake Honda made was to just create something that beat the Bullet 350 in every aspect. They did succeed in doing that, but they should have aimed much higher.
If these new Triumphs turn out to be successful then it's high time other manufacturers realize that they shouldn't just make bare minimum motorcycles at inflated prices for Indian customers
Twins would have taken the price to 5+ which is typically Honda strategy on pricing. Like they Fkd up with the 300F pricing for a 300cc Hornet..
A 400 or 450 was the way to go.. something that would be little caution to ride...not a toy .😁
They are already selling less than 30-40 units per month in metro showrooms.. god save them if T picks up... A price they will have to pay for being conservative and taking the Indian market which is one of the largest..for granted..
@@RajkaGarage It's a classic Japanese blunder. They always create something incredibly amazing whilst completey ignoring some glaring issues, and product becomes outdated very quickly.
I absolutely love my CB350, it's perfect at what it does. But could've been easily much better at the price point.
Let's see if the Triumphs are not just good on paper, and if Honda trumps them in terms of reliability, cheap spare parts, service experience, etc.
Very well said.. can't agree more on this.. Somehow the current Japanese management is just a rubber stamp. I have worked in Kinetic Honda and later with Escorts Yamaha in my past and have seen how the Japs would think out every detail thing regardless of the competition which was very less in those days, the product was not only developed from a customer perspective, but even from a service perspective. The KiHo was a way ahead of its times in 1986..
Hi sir waiting for the review video of idemitsu 10w40
Raj sir i stay in thane mujhe motul ka fully synthetic genuine oil kaha se kharidu thane mai ? Ider fake oil ka dar na ho
I think this bike might be small for you.. i.e. wheelbase is shorter than CB ..
On different note how is the idemitsu 10w30 doing on your bike ? Is Motul 104062 5100 a good alternative?
CB's wheelbase is one of the longest in it's class.. only dominar's is longer. Speed 400 is close to classic 350 in WB
You have not said anything about slipper clutch and gear box??
According to my opinion the triumph speed 400 is not worth it , because the chain drive come to the right side which take very efforts to lube the chain because of the exhaust pipe , And to change the brake pads their is saree guard again one more trouble and their is very minimum space between the saree guard and disc brake , another issue is the alloys of the triumph speed 400 don't think they are made for indian roads . And the triumph has give ride by wire setup which has some amount of lag in accleraction and if some how , something happen to the sensor of ride by wire it will be expensive to change , this bike come with short stroke engine so the ktm 390 any day better than this bike according to the acceleraction, handling , one more issue is service network . Dont know who will handle the service network either it is bajaj or triump , if the bajaj takes care of the service of this bike then great then it is very risky ,Thinking about this bike it provides you good quility and triumph logo on tank decent power and nothing else , The price of the triumph speed 400 is marketing strategy afer the 2 or 3 month it will going to increase . no hate for triump it is just my opinion .
Absolutely. Food for thought..
In real terms, if one has to use this bike for touring purposes aswell, I do some apprehension as the silencer has a steep upswept angle which may make it difficult to load it with touring saddle bags etc..
Cb350 clutch sensor issue some times it starts in gear and some times it doesn’t. I don’t have reach to service centre due to remote location so please make video on replacing sensor.
Bro this happens due to excessive play in the clutch lever. Please get the free play adjusted from any good local mechanic and spray some WD40 on the back of the lever where the clutch switch is located. This will solve the problem.
@@RajkaGarage just tried it but same issue as i removed both couplers from sensor and touch together while pressing clutch bike starts in gear so i think issue is in sensor.
Spray some WD40 on the sensor by removing it.
@@RajkaGarage thank you problem solved. My bike suddenly got dead even meter consol was not lighting up. I contacted bigwing and they asked to check battery as there was copper rust which was the issue. After removing rust all problems resolved automatically.
Both are best
The delivery charge triumph is charging is bohat jada seen bills having 15-20 thousand delivery charge
Those were fake ones..There was clarifications by Triumph later..
Congratulations on your purchase of Speed 400. 👍👍👍
Sir, I think Honda CB350 does come with 4 valves. Please correct me if I am wrong.
An excellent vlog as usual, where you explain all the technicals in layman terms.
Thanks buddy 😊.. Booked for sure... wheather it accompanies the other machines in Raj Ka Garage will be something to look forward to..
CB is a 2 valve SOHC engine. Have seen few other comments on this which I guess is due to the incorrect information given by few big automobile media houses in thier print media and videos. 😀
@@RajkaGarage Oh okay.
Thank you so much for the info.
Hello Raj Sir, I would like to request you for make a video on Race Dynamics India Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore, Karnataka's products i.e. PowerTronic, FuelX, FlashX, Harness, Switch. What is the purpose, use, benefits, utilities, pros and cons, useful or not for Honda Highness CB350 motorcycle? I want to know about their products' functionality in Honda Highness CB350 motorcycle.🙏

Sir ji liquid cooling ki vajah se itna lamba oil change intervel hai
Fir bhi 10k kms max strech karna chahiye.. humlog cars mein bhi full synthetic oil ko 10k se jyada nahi khicte.. jabke oils like Mobil 1 unka drain period 15k kms tak bolte hai..
Especially for 2 wheelers..Jahan same oil clutch aur engine dono mein use hota hai.. waha itna bada drain period nahi karna mangta hai..
Sir ji engine oil capacity par bhi depend karega.yadi engine oil 2.5 se above hai to 15000 bhi arram se chalegi upar se liquid cooled . So Viscosity of engine oil do not effect from heat and also fins has been given. Three type cooling system work . Any way see in future
Disagree with milage. Triumph gives avg between 25 kmpl to 30 on highway
That's comparison
👌
CB 350 also have 4 valve
😊👍
Sir please share your contact number i want to purchase triumph scrambler 400 X but my younger brother is insisting to purchase Honda CB350. Need your help to finalize one of them. I would be using it on daily basis for long term.

Bhai highness comes with 4V engine
I wish it did buddy.. but sadly it's a 2V SOCH engine.
I was also in that impression till I physically saw single valves on - How To Adjust Valve Clearance In A Motorcycle ft. Honda H'ness CB 350 | Tappets Explained | Demo - Dipayan Bose
@@RajkaGarage 4 Stroke OHC single cylinder, 4-valve engine
Not sure where this incorrect information is coming from. But if it's is coming from some automobile media houses on thier print or AV media, then that's the difference between people who belong to the real greasy field Vs people from the reel world.😀
Trust me, it's a 2 valve SOHC engine 🙂
Check the above comment from @arv1nd . He has also given a link to one such video on the valve train from Dipayan Bose...
I generally don't cover these things or talk about in videos due personal reasons ,but there are several instances when I am consulted by few Bigwing service centers for critical fault diagnosis (ofcourse due to my previous connection with Honda) and i end up spending my weekend in thier workshop.😀.
