Thanks for these informative discussions. I have come to realise that it is not possible for me as an individual to understand a bike myself with one small test drive offered by most dealerships. These videos help!
People buy the highness for its simplicity and complain that this could have been different..it's a simple honest bike.. appreciate it for what it is..
I was waiting for some one to point out regarding way too much chrome. I wish there was an option to make ur own model just like RE does. What was honda thinking while launching this vehicle. Are we a bait for a bigger launch?
I'm a new subscriber of yours just watched 2 of your videos so far. But i can surely say that pradeep kuch bhi nhi bol tha hai. You talk a whole lot of sense. Highly appreciate your hard work .
Agree with two points very seriously, accessories issue and application to chrome finish. Considering all the points have decided to wait for few months before buying 😀
Completely agree with the too much chrome. Not everyone is looking for chrome. Triumph RE Jawa all are having an option of going with the non chrome version.
Hey Vinay How are you After long time messaging you. Hope you are doing fine I had question, we need to service our Honda CB350 in how many months. The service guys says every 6 months, but it's been monsoon in Mumbai and service centre far. My driving is 10kms /day on Ec mode. Reply awaited
On the number plate point I agree, saw a video a guy from Chandigarh also complaint that he has to attach that plate from local mechanic as the tool were not available with dealer what a pathetic condition

Guys, I had booked the CB350 anniversary edition a few weeks back and intended to get it on Christmas. I did a close inspection of the bike before RTO registration and there was rust on each and every joint where there is welding. The integrity of the bike and overall quality is definitely compromised because the part holding the entire machine together has rust! It's a brand new bike which has not been taken out of the showroom at all. Right now I'm awaiting the sales manager's response to this, and depending on his response, let's see how to take this forward. It's going to be a deal breaker if not rectified satisfactorily. What really shocks me is that this was not checked in the pre-delivery inspection, or through the multiple layers of quality control that a manufacturer like Honda is supposed to have.
Yes sir, you are very correct. I like the green colour much but it does not has the DLX Pro variant features like dual horn, Bluetooth connectivity etc. Really big disappointment.
Great Work watched all the parts in the reverse order though , u guys should represent us (request) owners of Double H (my name for the bike). Yes my buying experience could have been better too.
How is the gearing on CB350? There are reviews saying it struggles in 2nd on speed breakers. Do you guys feel the same? Also, does the CB350 feel as torquey as the Meteor?
Congratulations 👏 I use Axor full helmet for highway and Vega half helmet for city rides Mud flaps for front and rear, you can get RX front mudflap from local store and fix using 3M two sided tape... It serves well.
Very good review ,, I am facing those all issues . Very disappointed with the accessories . Waiting last one month . This unacceptable Also the comets on the mirror is very perfect no other experts noticed this Thanks guys I am sure Honda will take care your findings
Since you don't have the Bluetooth jazz, simply get the control switches on the handlebar from the Unicorn. Straight fit. For the rear view mirrors, get the ones from the Himalayan. You'll get the right curve and angle. They will go with the look as well.
More the electronics on a machine, makes it more complex, as we are already bluetooth enabled on our helmets and most importantly we wanted solid color which was not an option with DLX Pro
Hello sir, i had seen few videos regarding Honda CB350.. In those videos the vlogger mentioned about color change of exhaust(initial part near engine).. Have u ppl found the same? P.S: i am booking this Honda CB350 bike for daily office and occasional highway.. is it better than RE Meteor? How about clutch on both bikes?which is softer?
I saw the video you are referring to - I think by Ambarsariya. After that, both of us have kept a close watch, and all is good. We did actually discuss why that might have happened with him - one guess is that he could have really pushed the bike hard (much harder than what we would have) - otherwise there is no reason for such a thing to happen. We both have 1000km on our bikes and the pipes are super clean and all good. Re: Meteor, there is no best answe really as both seem to be competing neck and neck in literally every single commuter and tourer segment parameters. Clutch on the CB is feather light and I really dont think any bike can match up. Most times, I dont even notice the clutch presses - its that good!
With so much of chrome when you wash it’s kind of difficult to get rid of water drops n the drop shades if you forget to clean it immediately Had this problems when I use to wash dads Bajaj boxer It reminds me of boxer a lot when I see this bike

Very nice Information. had booked CB350 a day after launch. But still haven't made my mind to purchase. I have no issue to downshift when required to overtake. But what worries me is that how CB350 performs at lower speeds in higher gears. I mean what's the lowest speed you could do in CB350 in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th gear ? Could you please make a video on this ?
1st and 2nd is par on meteor or better but 3rd and 4th is taller than meteor. 1st in 10 and 15 and 2nd in 20kmph and 3rd on 30kmph and 4th in 40kmph and 5th in 55kmph. Speedometer error is included.
@@eldhosepeter6894 Thanks for the reply. As you mentioned 55kmph on 5th gear, will I be able to accelerate faster from 55kmph to higher speeds ? I mean, do I need to downshift to 4th gear to accelerate faster while overtaking or 5th gear will accelerate enough ?
I noticed Vinay got a KA-01 plate but he said he lives somewhere on the outskirts of Bangalore. Does this depend on the RTO whose jurisdiction the dealer is in, rather than the customer's address?
Please tell us about that change in shade on Pradeep's bike on the tank. Looks like he put a PPF and removed or something. Thank you, keep up the great work 👍
My cb350 engine heats too much if I drive just for 2 km. Then I guess what is happening with you if u do touring this much. I've upgraded from TVS starcity for yr info. Or is heating normal ?? Any owner pls confirm that
I have been facing the same issue.. extreme heating from day 1 of purchase..the service center guys say that it will be fine after completing one or two rounds of servicing..I am not convinced though..what should I do?
@@1001sap Next service opt for synthetic engine oil from Honda service center, they do have one called Throttle 10w30 which is 650/- per litre and recommend grade as well, this should help the bike run cooler. Unless there are any other issues, which is unlikely in an air cooled engine.
I too had the same issue with my Unicorn and as bought up in this video, I replaced it with the one from Shine.. and the issue was resolved immediately you’re welcome 😉
I did the same to my Unicorn, borrowed the gear lever from Shine. Problem solved. I'm wondering if the gear lever from the Shine will be a 'plug and play' on the H'ness.
Turning blinkers should be relative easy ,just locate wires and cut and provide switch in-between. Gear shift liver should not be problem with so many 100 ccs having practical livers . Highness is in nascent stage of success with more bikes consuming road space ,there will be army of accessories. Horn / turn indictor switching is common in high-end Japanese bikes . In future some body could make switch gear direct fit . SEAT should had been longer yes , 2 big people should easily seat on it .
Better to build your own byke like whatever you wish to have. Different manufacturers make different kind of styles keeping in mind that majority of people in the world. What's your problem to have crome.
I too experienced the same with topline showroom. So moved to indiranagar. But the experience is same. Terrible. If I call them they will be in a hurry to end the call and dedicated sales executive don't even respond to calls. And to make it worse, parking space issue due to which the scooter that i rented towed away by traffic police. @vinay and @pradeep loking forward to meet you guys. You guys remind me of Jai and Veeru from the movie Sholay
I definitely agree with the cons you mentioned but I think that it is too early to say it as a cons or dislikes as honda may be studying the market for cb350 and its is the first of such product honda is launching in india, you compared the things with re bikes but remeember re was way worse in the past and now only they matured.
16:43 That's what the bike is designed for, why did you buy this bike and saying i didn't like this i didn't like that.. You should've bought RE meteor or interceptor if you didn't like the characteristics of this bike Summa edhachu sollanumnu sollikitu iruka kudathu
Please see 3/3 and my conclusion. These are super critical nitpicks and doesn't hold back from an overall awesome ownership and riding pleasure. By all means, book this awesome motorcycle. You will not regret a second!
An exasperated side, you might say. But yes you are right. I will try and keep it a lot more civil in the future ones. The only reason I had a go at Honda is because I love them so much and if you cant have a go at the people you love the most, what's the fun in that relationship, eh? 😜
@@Motoccino oh no. By all means, please rip them apart. Rip every brand apart if you get a chance to try their latest bikes. It's better than sugar coating all the flaws to maintain a the positive vibes that the vehicle has gathered. It's better for potential customers as well
@@bcr5430 Ripping apart these brands, and more importantly my beloved motorcycles that are an integral part of my existence, is a professional's work sir. I always believe in being a constructive critic, than a cribber (although most points in the 3-part series, has me looking like a cry-baby unfortunately). I am a finance guy and not even an engineer, and most of my views are from an "average joe" perspective and in the end, really to have a bit of fun and give something a bit different for a Sunday viewing!
@@Motoccino can you please tell me . If you had the chance of buying a Himalayan and a cb350 . Which one will you pick. ( Considering that you are a employee who likes to go out on weekends exploring places, not necessarily off-road) and the rest of the days in city. ) Which one is the best pick for a reliable,fun machine
Sir unlike a power on paper, highness lack low end torque as pulling in slow speed with higher gear even 3 gear at 23kmph is a struggle! This is what most review said. Its it true?
1st and 2nd is par on meteor or better. Not gonna feel tall. But 3rd and 4th is quite tall. And 5th does nothing. But can pull on 3rd gear in 23kmph. You can go 5th in 55kmph if you are not overtaking.
Dear Pradeep and Sir I really like your videos and views and discussions. Is it possible to connect with you through a phone for a discussion on Honda vs interceptor thoughts
He is absolutely spot on about the excessive use of chrome and i also hate the piano or shiny black finish of the engine. Meteor's matt black engine and side cases are far more appealing. The bling is a put off which is why I didn't purchase the bike.
even the gurgaon and delhi guys have the same issue check out this video : ua-cam.com/video/1GLrJabEVTw/v-deo.html around 5:50 and accessories availability is a problem also personally I think the leg guard is actually very small (although sturdy) one video from 91wheels quotes zana international with a neat topbox mount also visible is a sump guard plate.(nothing on their website) please elaborate on the PDI i have delivery this wednesday
Man!! this guy simple destroyed the bike hype....BUMP to Honda Highness to Lowness.....I would like to see Pradeep starting his own channel in future. Credits goes to you!! I like when he says "Simple Wasted"
That will be a bit hard (we are trying to figure out now) - because this is based off ownership and real experience. And we don't own the Meteor, so its a bit of a tricky one.
How do guys Kenny here from Merlin Oregon USA I could add that it's pretty good video is on it. Of course but we need to see more more crazy critique on suspension compliance way to the bike how much weight is a pig and a Taurus rear brake it's a disc right you didn't even can you really tell her I said what's the disk so what you need to do is is it's basically a fault of the friction pads and the rotor itself if you can find are you guys are great fabricators in machinist and India love your work we don't have any of that over here anymore with the young people it's just totally removed from schools and we got a bunch of drones to her but anyway you need to cash out and rotor disc rotor like an automobile uses a cast-iron rotor although they are ventilated just need to be ventilated but somebody you know Ken machine a cast-iron dish with loader for it keep a sickness up on it will make us and don't make any don't drill holes in it for you drill holes in it do not transfer them to a chance for the holes in a ventilated just put a solid disk cast-iron it's me and I type ductile cast iron furnace without a very strong and it is the coefficient of friction is much better than the steels' that they use on Hondas and whatnot that will not rust on the showroom floor then you look into a pad material is compare comparable for the cast iron rotor you don't go to aggressive with it delete it up also then you want to go ahead and put some Peter stainless steel braided cables or hoses they're good quality wants to join expand or you can Hardline it hardliners as far as you can possibly with a with a allowance for Flex at the swingarm pivot and at the end caliper bracket in my opinion a good writer experienced writer an extra Rider like myself should should be able to lock up the rear wheel without too much trouble just because that's the way we can I watch them every once in a great while to see if certain situation you may you may need to do that but it's very rare but it's just one of those things you should you should have full control over the brakes and you should have full braking power disc brake is capable of because of the size of their dumbing-down the brake on it that's just like you guys get a lot of rain and what not but I assure you you ride that a lot you keep flowers fresh fresh good tires but keep up the good work listing working teak on the technical aspects power delivery and the suspension compliance Etc one file technical point when it comes to just about the most important maintenance item on the bike is rear drive chain and I see a lot of riders now making 2 Chainz be very tight mechanically type if you cannot do it destroys things and it could actually kill you so you want to emphasize that changed correctly adjusting and if you have longer shocks on the back or different suspension setting it available near the factory manufacturing many will tell you the correct amount of slack is always with the three actions to align Cleveland County Sheriff's Rocket Center Line rear axle Centerline with windows are in a straight line which you can do by ratcheting down the rear suspension and whatever with those in a straight line you need to have Slack Key was there that's the tightest point of of chain you don't want to type train anywhere it'll Rob horsepower it makes clutch is slipping to wear sprockets out and I've seen it break off a counter sprocket shaft so are you are you go some people get to get crazy cuz of change got is slapping a little bit. Slacking it well better off to have a little bit too much slack than done because take a look at some slow motion videos of the MotoGP bikes going around in turn you'll see great amount of slack in the chain on the bottom right because it has to have slack any engineering data can tell you that a roller drive chain assembly must never be running in a physically / mechanically tight situation to remove slack is okay they do not make mechanically tight enough to cause an issue
Too much, buy a harley if you have so much expections maybe honda will add wings to make you fly. Used to like your videos so far but this is annoying.

On the number plate point I agree, saw a video a guy from Chandigarh also complaint that he has to attach that plate from local mechanic as the tool were not available with dealer what a pathetic condition
Sir why is there no kick start in these bikes?
I would add one more to the list of cribs .. No storage space to keep some documents .Or you need allen key to get to your documents 😭
Are you still keeping hard copy of documents when everything goes digital now ?
@@Sanjay-yu4kc Some of them like PUC are in hard copy . And Better to keep a hard copy of other ,lest your phone should die . Larger point being there's no storage space .
Just to add . Storage on meteor looks worse . What's wrong with these manufacturers . They copied each other's bad point 😂
Guys, I had booked the CB350 anniversary edition a few weeks back and intended to get it on Christmas.
I did a close inspection of the bike before RTO registration and there was rust on each and every joint where there is welding.
The integrity of the bike and overall quality is definitely compromised because the part holding the entire machine together has rust! It's a brand new bike which has not been taken out of the showroom at all.
Right now I'm awaiting the sales manager's response to this, and depending on his response, let's see how to take this forward. It's going to be a deal breaker if not rectified satisfactorily.
What really shocks me is that this was not checked in the pre-delivery inspection, or through the multiple layers of quality control that a manufacturer like Honda is supposed to have.
Yes sir, you are very correct. I like the green colour much but it does not has the DLX Pro variant features like dual horn, Bluetooth connectivity etc. Really big disappointment.
Great Work watched all the parts in the reverse order though , u guys should represent us (request) owners of Double H (my name for the bike). Yes my buying experience could have been better too.
How is the gearing on CB350? There are reviews saying it struggles in 2nd on speed breakers. Do you guys feel the same? Also, does the CB350 feel as torquey as the Meteor?
Yes most times I cross speed breakers in the 1st gear - it starts coughing in the second gear!
@@Motoccino Agree if you are below 20 kmph, its wiser to down shift, else bike pulls easily in 2nd gear

Oh u r wire informative. U Talk to the point. Knowledgeable video.
Yup, buzz in right mirror after 90 and low range as well - if you ride in 40 at 3rd gear
I have installed Dominar bar ends, prior to which I had a buzz on the RH mirror....
I agree about, and would love to have the matt black fenders, coz, neither am I a fan of the 'blinged-out-look'.

-front and rear mud flaps.

@@Motoccino oh no. By all means, please rip them apart. Rip every brand apart if you get a chance to try their latest bikes. It's better than sugar coating all the flaws to maintain a the positive vibes that the vehicle has gathered. It's better for potential customers as well
@@bcr5430 Ripping apart these brands, and more importantly my beloved motorcycles that are an integral part of my existence, is a professional's work sir. I always believe in being a constructive critic, than a cribber (although most points in the 3-part series, has me looking like a cry-baby unfortunately). I am a finance guy and not even an engineer, and most of my views are from an "average joe" perspective and in the end, really to have a bit of fun and give something a bit different for a Sunday viewing!
@@Motoccino can you please tell me . If you had the chance of buying a Himalayan and a cb350 . Which one will you pick. ( Considering that you are a employee who likes to go out on weekends exploring places, not necessarily off-road) and the rest of the days in city. ) Which one is the best pick for a reliable,fun machine
@@mediamalayalam595 Da... If your tyre gets punctured, would you want it to be tubed or tubeless tyres?
Sir unlike a power on paper, highness lack low end torque as pulling in slow speed with higher gear even 3 gear at 23kmph is a struggle! This is what most review said. Its it true?
1st and 2nd is par on meteor or better. Not gonna feel tall. But 3rd and 4th is quite tall. And 5th does nothing. But can pull on 3rd gear in 23kmph. You can go 5th in 55kmph if you are not overtaking.
@@eldhosepeter6894 thank you sir
I have been observing since ages,Honda never takes customer feedbacks seriously....... It seems arrogance to me.
They actually really do. We will cover this in a future video.
No product is complete...
Royal Enfield's Market looted.
Dear Pradeep and Sir I really like your videos and views and discussions. Is it possible to connect with you through a phone for a discussion on Honda vs interceptor thoughts
If Honda doesn't listen to this... HKMKB😛
Honda ki Mamta ka Bharosa? 😜
@@Motoccino 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He is absolutely spot on about the excessive use of chrome and i also hate the piano or shiny black finish of the engine. Meteor's matt black engine and side cases are far more appealing. The bling is a put off which is why I didn't purchase the bike.
For Gods sake , have a look at your title issue. Its very very very difficult to search you by your title.
Sure, will look into it 😀
Please stay subscribed to get notified on the upcoming vlogs
Just for reference, what should the title of this video have been?
@@Motoccino No no, its not about this video, its about your account motovin
even the gurgaon and delhi guys have the same issue
check out this video : ua-cam.com/video/1GLrJabEVTw/v-deo.html around 5:50
and accessories availability is a problem
also personally I think the leg guard is actually very small (although sturdy)
one video from 91wheels quotes zana international with a neat topbox mount also visible is a sump guard plate.(nothing on their website)
please elaborate on the PDI i have delivery this wednesday
Instead saying so many issues you could have not buy the bike
Jump to 3:42. Thank me latr
Not a good ending
Man!! this guy simple destroyed the bike hype....BUMP to Honda Highness to Lowness.....I would like to see Pradeep starting his own channel in future. Credits goes to you!! I like when he says "Simple Wasted"
Do a same review in meteor brotherrrr ❤️
That will be a bit hard (we are trying to figure out now) - because this is based off ownership and real experience. And we don't own the Meteor, so its a bit of a tricky one.
TeamBHP ownership review covered every point you mentioned on 28th October
How do guys Kenny here from Merlin Oregon USA I could add that it's pretty good video is on it. Of course but we need to see more more crazy critique on suspension compliance way to the bike how much weight is a pig and a Taurus rear brake it's a disc right you didn't even can you really tell her I said what's the disk so what you need to do is is it's basically a fault of the friction pads and the rotor itself if you can find are you guys are great fabricators in machinist and India love your work we don't have any of that over here anymore with the young people it's just totally removed from schools and we got a bunch of drones to her but anyway you need to cash out and rotor disc rotor like an automobile uses a cast-iron rotor although they are ventilated just need to be ventilated but somebody you know Ken machine a cast-iron dish with loader for it keep a sickness up on it will make us and don't make any don't drill holes in it for you drill holes in it do not transfer them to a chance for the holes in a ventilated just put a solid disk cast-iron it's me and I type ductile cast iron furnace without a very strong and it is the coefficient of friction is much better than the steels' that they use on Hondas and whatnot that will not rust on the showroom floor then you look into a pad material is compare comparable for the cast iron rotor you don't go to aggressive with it delete it up also then you want to go ahead and put some Peter stainless steel braided cables or hoses they're good quality wants to join expand or you can Hardline it hardliners as far as you can possibly with a with a allowance for Flex at the swingarm pivot and at the end caliper bracket in my opinion a good writer experienced writer an extra Rider like myself should should be able to lock up the rear wheel without too much trouble just because that's the way we can I watch them every once in a great while to see if certain situation you may you may need to do that but it's very rare but it's just one of those things you should you should have full control over the brakes and you should have full braking power disc brake is capable of because of the size of their dumbing-down the brake on it that's just like you guys get a lot of rain and what not but I assure you you ride that a lot you keep flowers fresh fresh good tires but keep up the good work listing working teak on the technical aspects power delivery and the suspension compliance Etc one file technical point when it comes to just about the most important maintenance item on the bike is rear drive chain and I see a lot of riders now making 2 Chainz be very tight mechanically type if you cannot do it destroys things and it could actually kill you so you want to emphasize that changed correctly adjusting and if you have longer shocks on the back or different suspension setting it available near the factory manufacturing many will tell you the correct amount of slack is always with the three actions to align Cleveland County Sheriff's Rocket Center Line rear axle Centerline with windows are in a straight line which you can do by ratcheting down the rear suspension and whatever with those in a straight line you need to have Slack Key was there that's the tightest point of of chain you don't want to type train anywhere it'll Rob horsepower it makes clutch is slipping to wear sprockets out and I've seen it break off a counter sprocket shaft so are you are you go some people get to get crazy cuz of change got is slapping a little bit. Slacking it well better off to have a little bit too much slack than done because take a look at some slow motion videos of the MotoGP bikes going around in turn you'll see great amount of slack in the chain on the bottom right because it has to have slack any engineering data can tell you that a roller drive chain assembly must never be running in a physically / mechanically tight situation to remove slack is okay they do not make mechanically tight enough to cause an issue
Too much, buy a harley if you have so much expections maybe honda will add wings to make you fly. Used to like your videos so far but this is annoying.
I had a Harley too sir - it wasn’t that good that your annoyance could go away.

Completely agree with the too much chrome. Not everyone is looking for chrome. Triumph RE Jawa all are having an option of going with the non chrome version.
