Amazed at this video...finally an Indian made a video without any drama! Lotsa thanks. Am greatly fed up with funny angles and Bollywood like intros in every single vid from fellow Indians... U ticked all the boxes. Zero drama and loads of info ..love this vid. Thx a lot
Grateful for those words as it'll keep me going!
Indeed, to the point stuff! Bro, seems like there is another open dimension for you in moto-journalism.
Check out strell bro
You are first reviewer that i have come across who don't care about the stupid Bluetooth. I feel the same way. We take bikes to ride and not to pair Bluetooth devices.
Yea I mean you can use maps on your phone... But charging port shouldve been provided. Yezdi comes with both types of USB. So that was a miss from Honda.
I agree
A very candid, calm and transparent review. Enjoyed watching it. Ride safe.
Thanks for the wonderful feedback. I appreciate it.
Hey ! This is one of the best reviews ( let alone user review) that i have seen. After running through a lot of dramatic scripted and formatted reviews, this felt good. Great that you have personalized and kept it to what it is. Kudos!
Very detailed video 👍
After 100,000kms on the Duke, I'm done redlining and want to settle for a calmer and a maturer motorcycle (till the time I'm ready for the Versys 650😍) for daily use and touring. Something that produced peak power and torque at relatively low rpms so that I don't have to keep revving it hard to enjoy it. Found this to be a well balanced bike and Honda so reliable as well. I might just go for this one. 🙌
What a great user review, you deserve million subscribers.
Very perfect and honest review presented in a very calm tone.
Absolutely wonderful review...very calm and no over exposure
Excellent video and very soothing voice. Looking forward to more reviews from you.
Now that's called a quality video ❤️

Good one. Insightful
This review is just like the bike, calm and refined
bro you deserve more subs
3:59 the problem we all have 😂😂
😂😂
thanks for the review. I like this bike. Hoping Honda will sell this in indonesia. 🙂
Thanks for your honest opinion
Honda should have also release Rebel 500/300 in Indian market, and give more options for buyers who are looking for an alternative to RE bikes!
It was amazing wish you tons of subscribers
You rock!
Honestly this is my next bike. A genuine cafe racer with Honda Build quality. You have to give marks to Honda's experience. Safe and comfortable, that's the idea.
Do you buyed it?
5th gear is for name sake only, No extra power generated in 5th gear . Overall a good review
Great review....Plz make the video on adjustments which you made
Thanks for stopping by! I surely post a video on it.
Hope you've gotten a chance to see the mod videos I've recently uploaded. Stay tuned for more!
Nice review
I've also faced the same issue of false neutral when i shift from 1 to 2.
Amazing ownership review, crisp and to the point. No fancy stuff. I am a bit surprised when you said that it is not comfortable for long rides. Did you check the setting of rear suspension? May be it is too soft? If you make it stiff, that might help.
Thanks for the encouragement! And my sus is on the stock setup. Will try your suspension. I also think the seat style makes a difference. This one looks stylish but isn't made for long rides. Honda's slightly padded seat cover has helped a little.
Love you bro gonna buy this ine nect month. Just the one i wanted
Congratulations 👏 Happy safe riding
Nice video, crisp details… M subscribing for the office meme and great review 😊. Planning to buy Honda 350 but nt sure between Highness and RS as the RS has a sporty stance but highness should be more comfortable… Any thoughts?
Appreciate the words bro and excited about the sub! I think it's a subjective choice as I went for the looks. However, I don't know if the highness fairs any better on long rides compared to RS. The RS' seat is only uncomfortable beyond one hour of riding in my experience, otherwise no complaints. But I still prefer the seat comfort of highness based on my test rides.
@@secondopinion89 I absolutely love the styling and usage of less chrome on the RS, but the left side button cluster looks very empty and I dnt care much for the Bluetooth but the RS stock should have had charging capability, in that case it would have been a no brainer… Would go fr RS once I relocate to Bengaluru
@@secondopinion89 😊
Beautiful machine + a reliable work horse 🤌❤️🔥❤️🔥‼️🌟🌟
You can make the gear lever a lil lower to solve the false neutral problem. Give it a try
Please do the motor logging bro
I like your voice and review
Planning to buy in few days
Humble request please do motovlog
Good n thanks
Great complication. Good to see Marathahalli ORR route,
About cons, 1. VFM Guys though are good
2. Ride quality makes us tired till we get used to initial seating hardness. Me with CB350 at 9k kms now, I'm able to gapfree 250 kms
3. Gearing 1-2 is true
4. Console is great due to quick toggles on CB DLX Pro
5. LEDs are like that. Hope your Seltos also has LEDs setup
7. Keeping the bike clean is such a massive job
8. Charger yeah. Allen screws of Seat is again a miss
Great review with lovely animation inserts 😀
Great observations! The Hness does have many pros over the RS. Yes, my seltos (uploaded a video on it) has LED but much wider and brighter so it inspires confidence. Not all LEDs are the same. I appreciate the view and encouragement! 👍
I am confused between hness and rs.
Tell me if highness is more comfortable than rs??
I shouldn't get any back pain. In long rides. And I don't want to move to different places for modification of the vehicle.
@@aravindram1480 no bike pain on rs. Rs is dynamically strong and riders delight
Thanks for your valuable information 👍
Well for me, it seems like sometimes the sound is way too loud, sometimes its mellow. Not sure why it happens like it, but have observed it during the course of 8000 km
1:39 This bike looks f*cking amazing
Good video brother!
Much appreciated ❤️ Someday hope to be half as big as your channel. Thanks for stopping by!
@@secondopinion89 Oh thanks man!
Keep up the good work, you will quadruple that amount soon! Cheers and god bless!
U need to press little hard for 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 gear … it’s not an issue with bike but nature of the gearing
Needs to come to Australia
Super video bro,by the way editing is superb 😍
For an amateur UA-camr like me, I'm grateful for your encouragement! Much appreciated 👍
I faced hard gear shift issues, and once with false neutral, too when was reviewing..
Man awesome work…but I’m confused between meteor 350 & honda RS 350…please suggest me a better option…which one should I buy
Every riders perception is unique and there's isn't one right answer at all. I'd say choose the bike that most appeals to you and take as many test rides as possible. Even rent them out as longer rides reveal the true nature of the bikes. I obviously choose the RS for the reasons I mentioned in the vid. All the best and thanks for your support!
Overall very nice video, although those some animations and gifs in between were unnecessary
Honda made a big mistake by releasing this bike via bigwing network. Honda should have released this RS350 through its regular network.
No, i bought for its premium service. You can watch your bike getting repaired and see if some parts really need to be replaced or not. In other bike showrooms, they just replace oil and water wash and sent.
now that you know what CB350RS offers and feels like, and if you had a chance to consider between highness and RS which one would you prefer?
Great question. It would be a tough decision but still would choose the RS for its more contemporary looks. Having said that, the new anniversary edition (Hness) certainly seems tempting. Id say the Hness is more VFM if the sportier look isn't as important for you.
Daily office use, occasially long ride for 100 - 250km,rider and pillion comfort for this reasons which one will be better to buy hness or honda 350RS, could u please suggest??
Hness in my opinion has the edge in seat comfort and rider position. So that would be the better choice. RS is simply about the more sporty look.
Truthfully I never expected this video will be soo informative because even I don't care about the numbers.
Could you share the service experience or can you compare it with any other bike. Because even I am not a bike enthusiast and your way of expressing the content is soo practical to me.
Thanks for your appreciation Navaneeth and glad you found it useful. I don't consider myself an expert but this channel is for sharing my experiences of products. Having said that, I've had a positive experience with Honda service centres in Bangalore so far. I'll be uploading a video of my latest experience heading to the centre to resolve an issue on my RS.
Hello mate.. did you have any issues with the battery or self start as yet?
Touchwood...Nothing of that sort.
It’s a Honda! Reliable and long lasting bike.
but with those mud baths ?
but with those mud baths ?
how is it in comparison to hunter 350 ?
Kollam.... U have successfully dissuaded me from buying the RS.... You answered the right questions. But i gotta ask.... Do u regret the purchase and what's your opinion on H'ness
Hi .. i think I've answered that question too before got to the cons of the bike in the video. The RS is still a solid choice today at this price bracket. I prefer the RS in terms of the more contemporary looks but the seat comfort in Hness might be a better and it's better suited for accessories (mudguard extender, backrest, etc. ) while the RS looks best in its stock version.
Ok thank you sir.
No bullshit video!..awesome! I just have one question.. i like this bike! Is it excellent for daily office rides in city like mumbai?? I wont b taking a long road trip
I appreciate you visiting my channel and the kind words ❤️ Yes, the bike lives up to its name and is an excellent 'CityBike' due to its great handling and slick clutch. Cheers!
Thnk u so much! All the best sir! Cheers!
Hi bro, did u find any quality issues like paint peeling off, fit and finish ?
Fit and finish is satisfactory. Minor spots if you look for it behind a few but and bots. But all in all, it's holding up well (I don't keep mine in the sun only basement parking)
Marathalli to silk board route 👌
RE Meteor 350 and the upcoming Super Meteor 650 are better suited for long rides than RS350. The riding geometry and seats of Honda RS350 are not as comfortable as RE bikes.
Super meteor not worth for india due to low gc
Dude, if you booked it from the indiranagar showroom, 100 ft road was messed up and that is why it was given in the service center lol
Perhaps you're right. Then again It wouldve made sense for them to communicate that reason to me ahead of time and set expectations.
@@secondopinion89 yeah, you're right
Cirsp n clear.
Wich could be better highness or rs, do u think u could have gone for highness or rs is a better choice
I went for RS for the contemporary looks... I like the anniversary editions of the hness and if they were available I may have gone for it (if i was fully convinced the seats are better than rs for tours).
Serene review. Unfortunately, honda is well known to take customer feedback less seriously. Oh well, let's stop buying it, and probably they will listen, because this is what I am eyeing for and I am fed up by RE already.
i chose RS over hyness, the mudguard on hyness make the bike look bulky
i know i am being cocky but i got the dual tone version in the same day :P
Hello... I am planning to buy a bike in this month... 1 is cb350rs and himalayan 411 2023 model which one is better... I hope you reply soon
Congratulations on deciding to buy a bike. I can only share my real world of my bike which is Cb350RS... I haven't ridden himalyan 2023 model. I tested last year's model and it was good but I realised the low seat stance of the himalyan isn't for me and I prefer the posture on CB for better handling in the city. I suggest you look at real user reviews of Himalyan but also test ride it extensively if possible to make a decision. Both bikes have different looks, stances and feel, so go with the bike that best suits you as the rider and trust your choice. All the best!
@@secondopinion89 thank you so much
Do RS has a stiffer suspension than Hness... Or just the seat is different?
Suspension is identical only the seat, tyres and riding ergonomics have changed.
@@secondopinion89 thanks for that..
I am going to purchase this bike. But after watching your video I confuse. You mentioned for long ride you and your wife has problem. Is it solved or it is as it is. Because I want to use it for long ride. Please give your advice for long route driving.
Hi.. thanks for watching. The long route comfort is very subjective as it depends on the riders height weight posture etc. So things might be different for you. Having said that the standard Ribbed seat is not exactly made for long distance in my view. But Hness seemed more comfortable. (Again things can be different for you). Trust your gut at the end of the day. I'd even recommend you rent a CB350 and take a trip before deciding (if renting is an option for you)
@@secondopinion89 Thanks for advice. I will rent hiness
Brother i am going to buy this bike but confused between red and grey(metallic) colour, kindly suggest me ?
Colour selection is completely subjective:) no wrong answers here. Also, when I bought it, there was no grey or blue so I haven't seen it. Dont go by pics or words .. trust your eyes and you can't go wrong. What I will say is paint quality is top notch from Honda (tank) and to be on safe side, get a PPF coat for the tank. Cheers!
can we give cbr350 rs in normal honda service centre or only bigwing ?
Only BigWings will sell and service it.
At 2.4 lakhs (total cost bangalore) do you think this machine is worth it? Let me know why or why not.
Yes it is, but I think hiness is comfortable than rs, correct me if I am wrong
Yes
100%
New launched Annivarsary Edition black color looks best
@@s.r.vaithi I think so too
I BOOKED DUAL TONE
how was metor test drive its cons pls tell
I didn't find the engine as refined. It could've been a bad test bike but still felt rough compared to RS..I also had concerns about the long term quality of the build and chose to trust Honda in that respect. Last but not least... I realised I'm not a fan of the low seat cruiser like stance. I'd rather be on top of the bike for better speed and control and RS gives that.
What's your height sir? I'm 6'3 and planning to go for CB 350RS
Hi... Welcome to the channel...as i mentioned... I'm 6ft and I don't think height would ever be a concern on this bike considering the seat height and riding posture.
you should have bought highness good for long rides no back ache
False N is also prevalent in my bike.
You live in Green Glen Layout? 😁
Haha no comments :)
Is there any noise in rear break disc during breaking?
My RS does not but I met someone at the service centre who said he's been facing that from day on on his Hness.
@@secondopinion89 omg.. I'm also facing this and they said no solution for this because the dust easily enters inside. If it is manufacturing fault, then atleast 60 to 70% may face this. But I don't see any posts online regarding this
@@jmalijabar That's sad and I feel bad your bike has that. I do not think such a large portion of their production would face this because then Honda can't ignore it and a lot of people would post all over about it. I think it's a rare defect but Honda should address it for the few who have it.
It is annoying.. ☹️☹️☹️ it spoils the riding experience.
Heard that paint quality is not good and starts chipping and allows rust to form?
I haven't had any major issues as such. Just spoil areas that needed touch up (near the saree guard and the helmet lock area) and they fixed it for me during my final service. Apart from that no issues.
can saree clad women sit as pillion ? is it too uncomfortable for pillion?
It would be just because of the seat design.
my highness give best performance & milage 34 city - 39 highway
iam getting 38-40 in city
are u guys talking about mileage shown in meter? if so then i am getting 45 in normal roads
आप एवरेज 3-4 km/ltr और ज्यादा।ले।सकते हों ...
which enfield you sitting on in this video
Hi... I was testing out the new meteor (supernova edition)
It's look like an international bike. RE is somehow little bit Desi look.
Will this bike suit to a 5.5 feet tall guy?
Yes, easily as it's not a bulky or a very tall bike
