I bought a GB350S in Taiwan in 2022, it was imported from Japan through a motorcycle trader and is a very nice bike with a very reliable engine. This video brings back great memories of when I first bought my GB350S, thanks for the video!
Looks quite good to me in black. I'm thinking about buying this, or a RE Bullet 350. The Honda will come to Europe in 2025, so I had no chance up to now to test it. The RE I tested felt very good to me.
Regarding the engine honda 350 line up is way more refined and efficient compared to RE. Honda is vibration less and stress free till red line while on the other hand RE will have lots of vibration.
Thanks for watching! Yeah she is a beauty, spend half my day walking out to the garage to make sure she is still there. Bummer they don’t just make this a global option. 🤞🤞
I love your smooth way of talking about that bike without any of that power crazyness for big bikes. Just two questions: - where and how do you switch the display for different data readings like trip meters? - is there a small compartment for tools? Where is it? Thanks a lot for your good work. As soon as the Honda is available here in Germany, I'll book a testride.
That you 😊 Yeah have ridden my fair share of big bikes, they are fun, but I am really into chasing the flow state now and don’t need 100hp to find that. The display is changed with a button on the side of the meter, it toggles through everything from range, trip meter, fuel consumption range etc. for tools, there is no place for them, so I use a small side bag on day rides, or put them in my duffle on linger rides. Appreciate you watching the video and dropping a comment 🙏😊it is a super fun bike. If you want to see more check out my motorcycle channel (still new) : m.youtube.com/@ridethrujapan Happy riding 😎
I picked up a GB350 a few months ago and enjoying it. The seat is a bit uncomfortable after a few hours, but overall, the bike is serving me well. -Nagano
Almost 8,000 ks on mine now. Best mod that changes the whole ride, 13 tooth counter shaft sprocket. Now holds 5 with 300 rpm at 100 ks. Sprocket of Honda Xr600 1991 to 2,000. Now an even more magic bike.
Can't wait to ride this dewty in Greece. I'm not a speed guy,i don't care. Just beautiful.Easy to fix🔧🔩 I would like bigger front mudguard,it just doesn't cover much, its gonna be very very dirty in the rain,or even wet roads,front at the engine and rear basecly. Can't have it all right? A maintenance video would be good also 😉
Thanks for watching 🙏😊 while the engine and the lower frame catch some mud, i haven’t felt anything extra hitting me on some muddy roads. For a small guard it seems to work pretty well. Will be loading more content here but more so on my Bike channel RideThruJapan (still new). Off tomorrow to do a more comprehensive review of the bike to answer some of the questions people have asked. For maintenance vids, that will come, but she is still under warranty so will let Honda get dirty for now 😜
It's a beautiful all-rounder machine indeed...I own this bike here in India..here it's called CB350 RS...where RS stands for Road Sailing....done long hauls and fair bit of offloading as well...and that exhaust note is just music to the ears.
@@phatsokhim1881 RS has a slight cafe racer vibe to itself with a committed riding posture (never like a sports bike though).. A single piece gear shifter lever like most modern bikes and with a slight rear set position... less chrome parts... I feel that the RS is slightly quicker off the line. rest more or less everything is the same mechanically.
Cool video, I got the Honda CL500 now and put 6200 miles on it. Love it so far. It's a great ride here on the Jersey Shore US. A lot more fun than the heavier Honda Rebel 1100cc. I sold that one after 14,600 miles. The ergonomics were hurting my shoulders and lower back. No more pain now with the CL500.
I just got my A2 license right now and looking for a nice bike to buy. I currently have a 2024 125cc NMAX that I use as daily (1600km already) which I bought September this year and it rides nice and smooth and it perfect for the city, so I´m getting used to the 2 wheels (been driving for 5-6 years but only cars). So I got license test with a CB300R that I also love but I could feel it a little bit too sporty for what I´m looking for, I am the smooth-calm-enjoy the road- rides kind of guy, I drive a classic car and I don´t pursue speed, I prefer to feel emotions through a pleasant and easy ride, with some good music and feeling every turn! Thats why I think this bike is made precisely for the style of ride I´m looking for -correct if I´m wrong ;) , so I think I´m going for it, just need to wait till it´s available in my country (Spain) and then I would test ride it. If I feel the thing that it´s made for me then I´ll buy it. Meanwhile I´m just getting experience with my NMAX and when I feel comfortable enough I´ll go for it! Thanks for your review, this is a lovely bike!
I did hit up an RE dealer about a loaner but no dice. Japan can be tricky at times. Thanks for watching, working on a more in depth review to answer some of the questions people have asked. Will be posted here and at my bike channel RideThruJapan.
Hi amazing video. I feel the front suspension travel is bit more in the 's' compared to gb350. Is that the case? Or is it just me feeling that. The bike looks to have more ground clearance than gb350.
Thank you 😊 I’m not sure to be honest. Thanks for watching 🙏 btw I am moving the bike content over to a new channel, if you want to take a look here is the link: youtube.com/@ridethrujapan
I'm an Aussie and own the GB350. I absolutely love it! On the mixed roads I do (mostly hilly country with some highway sections) my bike consistently uses about 2.2-2.3 L/100km. With the 15 L tank this gives me an incredible range of easily over 600 km!!!! Perfect for Australia where the distances between pumps can be huge. Oh yes, and the exhaust note... 🥰 It's also great on gravel, BTW, better in fact than the adventure bikes I've owned. And it's made in Japan.
@@Paul-kp1tu I don't know about 120. It does 110 easily, and I've never tried faster than that. I do stretches of freeway regularly to get to where the nice roads are and never found it to be a problem.
Sat on the GB and it’s very, very comfy. If it had their 471cc engine it woulda been absolutely amazing. Kind of a hard sell when it costs almost the same as the Triumph Speed 400 which is almost as comfy and much more powerful though
CB350 series motorcycles are made in India since 2020 and in a short span these have become the second most popular bikes in this category just behind the mighty Royal Enfield
Congratulations for the video and greetings from Italy. I have some questions for you. How does the motorcycle go uphill? Is it responsive? How does it go at 120 km/h as a cruising speed? Does it hold speed well or does it struggle? Before buying it I need to understand if I can travel on the highway at this speed even in the wind or rain. Thanks
Thank you and thanks for watching 🙏 on mountain roads it is fun, have to shift down to accelerate at times but that’s fun. Not good for expressway riding, takes a while to get from 100-115kms and would max out at 120 with wind or inclines.
@@BluePacificMedia Thanks, my problem is precisely driving on the highway. Here in Italy the limit is 130 km/h but 120 is fine for me. If I wanted to go on a trip I need to be able to maintain a speed of 120 km/h so I need to understand better how the bike behaves in this situation.
what a great review I have been looking for a review with an English speaker for a quite long time. Would be interested in watching how you are gonna accessorize it!
@@James.576 similar but a new variant for Japan. They have released a more base model oversees and there are equivalent models in india etc. but this is the Japan only spec
How tall are you? I'm 192cm., 6,3' had to raise the seat on my Transalp 650 even. I feel my knees will be touching my ears on this bike.😊 Powerwise, more than adequate, top speed in the Netherlands is 100 kmh during the day anyway🤷🏻♂️ It's not a track/autobahn bike. Looks good/retro style and you get Honda reliability for RE money.😉
Thanks for watching🙏 I am 178cms. The saddle is 80cms stock. You’re a big lad so most bikes must feel small 😜 but it is a lot of fun as an around town bike and on the winding roads. Suspension is solid too, i am 80kgs and barely move the bike. Never played with the preload
Saya harap mereka akan segera merilisnya secara global. Sekarang akan segera dijual di Eropa dan mungkin akan segera hadir di seluruh dunia. Terima kasih telah menonton dan lihat saluran sepeda motor saya: m.youtube.com/@ridethrujapan
Thanks for watching🙏 yeah it is soooo much better than the standard one. Have done some long rides (8hrs x multiple days) and it is really comfortable.
I don't understand, why this bike needs to be so heavy. Looks like a 125 just with a bigger engine and slightly wider tires. They could have easily made it 165 kg or less. At least its lighter than a Royal Enfield.
Haha yeah, seems to have disappeared though. When you just look at stats you kinda miss the point of this bike. That single air cooled engine has so much soul. And it only lacks power at the high end. It still pulls nice.
The Triumph Speed 400 is arround 5700€ it is way highter than the 4500~4600€ this bike is coming to EU. (RE 350 is about 4200~4500€ depending on the model) Also there's not even a reason to compare both besides the looks. The Speed has 40hp and arround 37nm torque. Two complete different bikes with complete different character.
Finally Honda, you woke up from your design sleep, I thought you had fired your designers ! Ok, they have the Cub 125 but ruined it with keyless start and a not so nice analogue display, the original was far nicer but it's analogue so better than TFT. I have been so sick of Honda's stick bug shape sport and sport tourer bikes and ugly as shit TFT screens, you just can't get more boring than a NC750x or pretty much most modern Honda or other Bikes. Triumph have the gorgeous Bonneville, now the Speed 400, Royal Enfield, well, they don't make boring looking bikes do they ? Royal Enfield have the Classic 650 coming lovely bike but shame on the TFT navigation display, it was not needed and completely out of character, I just don't get who can make these decisions ? An analogue fuel gauge in it's place would have been far better ! Kawasaki still have the W800 and the Z650 RS. Any other modern retros I'm missing ? But well done Honda, I hope the GB350s is the beginning of more gorgeous bikes to come hopefully with more power and the least amount of electronics and no digital screens at all ? think Bonneville T100 ! Honda should have made the current Rebel more retro !
I sat on one of these at the bike show here in the UK last weekend. Really nice. Under £4000!!! I figured it was made in China. Nope! Made in Japan. Apparently, Honda only makes about £150 if that on every one of these. Trying to get market share. I own a Royal Enfield Classic 350. Absolutely love it. Similar looking bikes. My classic cost £4,500 and although the Honda gives you a bit more for a bit less, I'm happy. Still, i have to say, Honda bringing out a bike like this has to be a wake up call for other manufacturers. This in turn has to be good for us. Great to see one of the big 4 reading the writing on the wall. Bikes sales are crap and alot of dealerships are closing here in the UK. Hopefully, bikes like this will save the industry and our ability to afford a decent bloody bike at a decent bloody price! Cheers! Oh! And I still want my trousers back! 😀
@ yeah it is a great time to be in the market for a mid range bike. And this one is so well made it blows me away it is in that price bracket. Be careful with those pants…no protection at all. I grabbed some revit jeans now.
@BluePacificMedia I know what you mean about the bockers. Although I'm 59, I only started riding about 2 years ago. I bought the trousers from amazon back then. Look good and the knee protection helps but I'm under no illusions about how safe they are. There are high quality riding trousers out there but they're alot of money. I have a couple of pairs of leathers I got on ebay that I wear alot. Thanks again though mate. 👍
Considering RE 350's around 4200~4500€ this is a pretty decent price. Also considering the first thing you would want to do when getting an RE is throwing in a new pair of decent tires, there goes that difference
@@mikeemerson9832 we all have our tastes, I can stand the look of most RE’s just trying to look like a bike made 40-50years ago. I like the classic lines but with modern touches. Nice that we have choices though 😉

Why is it GB? In India we got it as CB
There are some minor differences ie GB is manufactured in Japan. But also there is another model in Japan called the CB.

The Triumph Speed 400 is arround 5700€ it is way highter than the 4500~4600€ this bike is coming to EU. (RE 350 is about 4200~4500€ depending on the model)
Also there's not even a reason to compare both besides the looks. The Speed has 40hp and arround 37nm torque. Two complete different bikes with complete different character.
What a beauty...
Not for Europe 🫤
Thank you…Yeah such a shame…hope they change that.
wait to 2025
That is awesome! Will have another video on the bike over at RideThruJapan channel
Finally Honda, you woke up from your design sleep, I thought you had fired your designers ! Ok, they have the Cub 125 but ruined it with keyless start and a not so nice analogue display, the original was far nicer but it's analogue so better than TFT.
I have been so sick of Honda's stick bug shape sport and sport tourer bikes and ugly as shit TFT screens, you just can't get more boring than a NC750x or pretty much most modern Honda or other Bikes.
Triumph have the gorgeous Bonneville, now the Speed 400,
Royal Enfield, well, they don't make boring looking bikes do they ? Royal Enfield have the Classic 650 coming lovely bike but shame on the TFT navigation display, it was not needed and completely out of character, I just don't get who can make these decisions ? An analogue fuel gauge in it's place would have been far better !
Kawasaki still have the W800 and the Z650 RS.
Any other modern retros I'm missing ?
But well done Honda, I hope the GB350s is the beginning of more gorgeous bikes to come hopefully with more power and the least amount of electronics and no digital screens at all ? think Bonneville T100 !
Honda should have made the current Rebel more retro !
Yeah, bikes need to emote and make you fall in love with them. Can’t love a transformer looking piece of plastic.
@@BluePacificMedia exactly 100% ! 🙂
This great video is the hot shit in europe right now because the EU release announcement 🎉
Haha thank you 😊
Oi! Give me my trousers back!
@@jez6208 haha, they are not safe…have a video coming soon about them.
I sat on one of these at the bike show here in the UK last weekend. Really nice. Under £4000!!! I figured it was made in China. Nope! Made in Japan. Apparently, Honda only makes about £150 if that on every one of these. Trying to get market share. I own a Royal Enfield Classic 350. Absolutely love it. Similar looking bikes. My classic cost £4,500 and although the Honda gives you a bit more for a bit less, I'm happy. Still, i have to say, Honda bringing out a bike like this has to be a wake up call for other manufacturers. This in turn has to be good for us. Great to see one of the big 4 reading the writing on the wall. Bikes sales are crap and alot of dealerships are closing here in the UK. Hopefully, bikes like this will save the industry and our ability to afford a decent bloody bike at a decent bloody price! Cheers! Oh! And I still want my trousers back! 😀
@ yeah it is a great time to be in the market for a mid range bike. And this one is so well made it blows me away it is in that price bracket. Be careful with those pants…no protection at all. I grabbed some revit jeans now.
@BluePacificMedia I know what you mean about the bockers. Although I'm 59, I only started riding about 2 years ago. I bought the trousers from amazon back then. Look good and the knee protection helps but I'm under no illusions about how safe they are. There are high quality riding trousers out there but they're alot of money. I have a couple of pairs of leathers I got on ebay that I wear alot. Thanks again though mate. 👍
4,700€ for Europe no,nono👎
The euro price is about 10% higher than Japan. But here it is really competitively priced.
Considering RE 350's around 4200~4500€ this is a pretty decent price.
Also considering the first thing you would want to do when getting an RE is throwing in a new pair of decent tires, there goes that difference
My friend,the GB 350s...in the Greece is expensive....5,200€
What a boring, nondescript little bike. RE Classic 350 has it in the bag. I will bet a pound to a penny that Honda won't sell as many as RE.
@@mikeemerson9832 we all have our tastes, I can stand the look of most RE’s just trying to look like a bike made 40-50years ago. I like the classic lines but with modern touches. Nice that we have choices though 😉
