I needed this video. It's not everyday you conveniently find a 6'2" rider express his views regarding the riding comfort on your dream motorcycle. Great work! 😅🙌🏼
True, that's because at the end of the day Bullet owners are happy with Bullet as a bike. Bullet owners actually complains when Vibration/Sound gets reduced.
This was a wonderful "thoughts" interview. Both of you are well-articulated, presented your opinions in layman terms. Srini has a wonderful prersence. Good job Abhinav. 👍 😄
I got the honda h'ness anniversary edition marshal green and I am absolutely satisfied with its riding quality and exhaust node.I am glad I went for a honda.
RE had just came alive in the past 5 years or so, prior to that R&D was pretty much static. Honda had been on the CB350 platform comparatively for a long while. It may have entered only this year in India but this platform has been in existence for a long while comparatively to RE 350. Popular in the European markets and the US. R&D had constantly been happening on this platform by Honda. I would expect this to outperform RE350 in all features. Honda is just currently testing the higher end platform, I am pretty sure higher capacity variants would be introduced based on the response to CB350.
After watched a more than a 50 videos on Honda CB350 and CB 350rs. I found bike is damn awesome. Also watched real, superb. Most of videos really wasted a time. About interceptor it’s not good for long ride as it start weighing on wrists and also vibrated on higher speeds. But the this fkng Honda is damn bike, that it’s beating in heart. Even on higher speed Honda smooth, doesn’t matter longer or shorter, fits everywhere.
The Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor is popular in the UK for the retro look and simplicity. It is a really nice motorbike. I now live in Thailand where RE has started selling their motorbikes but they are too expensive because of high import tax compared to the Honda that are manufactured in Thailand. RE are starting to send the components to Thailand and assemble in Thailand in mid 2021 to get round the import tax and make the motorbike more competitive. You have to compare the RE 350 against the Honda CB350 Highness. The Honda wins hands down.
Also Abhinav we all are eagerly waiting for your videos because most of us can't test drive the motorcycle so you are the only one on UA-cam as of now who is putting impressions abot hondas bike So yeah.....
Firstly thanks for this good video ...I feel this Honda is a clinically perfect one for the first time retro lovers...on the other hand Classic 350 has become a commuter for the mass who love to pose but have little biking in them... so I find them at fish market ration shop with milkmen and unemployed brats...I ride this Baker Express and I feel it is not for the uninitiated ones...so ...I will highly recommend others not to buy 650by looking at cost point of view....it will be a big mistake...because it is for 120kmph cruise and long mile munching as I recently did 625km morning to evening or ride up in the hills alone or may be with one like minded friend....after riding Classic for 8 years and selling it off and riding 650 currently I have zeroed in on Gixxer 250 ....r u surprised...can't ride a slow bike you know...and for 650 I have installed Greasehouse customs foot peg extensions..handle bar raisers....RE should offer good set of alloys for Interceptor...looking forward for more videos ....by the way I have touched 52years recently...
congrats on 52 years🤘... yeah classic 350 has become boring (my personal opinion) well there's no arguments that 650 twins are the best looking and performance machines from royal enfield🔥
*INTERCEPTOR PROs* : (a) Awesome twin cylinder sound. (b) Excellent torque (c) looks good (d) Legacy - it pays homage to the Interceptor from the 1960s. (e) Good brakes (f) Loads of accessories be it from RE, Carberry, Ohlins and others - it even has a 850cc big bore kit for USD 650. If you have money to spend, you can pimp this bike (g) Pride of ownership - a genuine British brand with a rich history. (h) Wide dealership network and support *CB350* : (a) Good finishing and workmanship (b) Lower operating costs - fuel efficiency and servicing expenses. This is an alternative to the Benelli Imperial 400 and RE 350. That is it.
Hey Abhinav just pick one guy who had not driven any of these motorcycle like Honda or RE classic 350 and let him drive both and then ask him how does that felt that will be cool if you can do so !!! Either way what do you think ?
Man that Honda is an emotion to Japanese bike lovers as Indian market was filled with this machines in 80s and also the fast hip culture of 90s , so this Honda is an emotion more than RE, and Honda also maintains the clean smooth engineering,and the high quality finish and painting even better than the RE to fit the need of mordern riders,but RE is also improving because of competition,great machines
I think if honda launches cb500. Which will be the bored out version of cb350. Then it would be the perfect city and highway cruiser with so many features, tubeless tyres, good build quality and reliability which RE misses out..
What I like about Abhinav's videos is that it legitimately feels like you're standing next to him and speaking to the guest or listening to Abhinav himself. Great video, great camera work and a great talk, overall. 👏
Good video ..and by the way Im THAT 2.05 LAC PERSON confused between both.....still waiting for RE meteor 350 to launch as well...good job ...keep it up
I own a bullet 350 and a classic 350 as well. I am so in love with this bike . But there is no bigwing Honda here in jammu kashmir. There should be atleast one bigwing honda in every state and union territory.
@Nate HIGGERS I'm not sure about that though. They want to build a separate idea of more exclusive, expensive bikes. They are basically doing what Maruti did with Neza.
Honda has ticked all the right boxes when it comes to CB350...As per my opinion, I wud go in for just 1 small change......the bike looks more retro, classic and mature in single tone rather than dual tone...So, the top version (pro) should be available in single tone too......Your thoughts Abhinav...(I asked for your opinion, coz your videos show you are more of a mature, relaxed rider like me who is least bothered about torque and speed and more inclined towards ride quality.....Cheers !!!
The only practical difference between the two variants is an extra horn and Bluetooth functionality. If you don't care about those two things and prefer the paint scheme on the DLX, you can easily and happily save 5K+.
Totally agree with the fact the interceptor looks more classic and contemporary, also from the looks of it it's a more premium looking bike compared to the Honda.
I thank you for the intelligent thought provoking discussion. Ultimately we try to buy a bike which subconsciously is an extension of who we are a a person.
@@farzinbi then long stroke 500 single definitely won't be producing more than 30 h.p. As RE 500 used to produce 26-27 BHP. And that will be slower than interceptor.
@@Redliningcrewguy but it's all about that sweet single cylinder thump you hear when you are crusing alone, a vibration free 500 or 650 thumper would be amazing. Even the interceptor is not all about speed.
A 500 twin Honda CB sounds amazing, but the added cost would price it way above the RE 650s, sadly. I'm not really sure a single cylinder 500 would do too well.
How comfortable is it to ride #honda #cb350 at 110 Kmph on the highway, 1. does it feel under powered, 2. are there vibrations, and 3. does one feels confident to hold that speed ( 110 Kmph ) and maneuver through the highway traffic ? Also, you rightly said that these 2 motorcycles cannot be compared as they belong to two different target audience and engine specs. I would say find someone with classic 350, that will be a justified comparison .
For any bike 10kmph less than top speed is never a crusing Speed, common sense. Atleast this bike will reach a 100. Unlike classic which takes almost 25secs full throttle to do that.
From his previous videos, I gather that he thinks the CB can hold 100 or 110 all day with minimal vibrations creeping in at around the 90 kph mark, but not strong enough to feel unpleasant. He did mention that 5th gear is pretty much overdrive and one shouldn't expect much roll-on acceleration from 4th to 5th.
@@ShubhamKainthola03 Even though I've never ridden this bike I can say that it won't hold 110kph comfortably regardless of how tall they made 5th gear. The engine has similar output to that of an RE 350 and is somewhat similar in gearing as well. A RE feels like it's gonna fall apart above 70. This thing should do about 80-90 smoothly but any higher means your revving it close to its limit...even with that tall 5th.
@Swach Hindi should I compare him with salman khan? ..... half of the population of our country treat that name as a slang. BTW comparing with a good person doesn't mean you are dependent on western countries.
@Swach Hindi A few things here, Firstly, learning and adopting form other cultures is not a bad thing. Infact India is(or should I say was) one of the most inclusive places on the planet. We are so diverse for a reason. Secondly, i think there is nothing wrong in incorporating "foreign" words into our "own" languages if it helps. Languages and cultures are not a set of rules. They change, they evolve. And there's nothing wrong with it. Like it or not English is a global language and wanting to learn it is no crime. I do cringe on the fake accent tho, we can stick to whatever accent we naturally have. There is no pride in being born into a particular culture or a particular place. And finally about those "praises", Like it or not, stereotypes are inevitable. Italian food, German engeneering, British motercycles, Swiss chocolate etc. It doesn't necessarily mean that they are the best, they are stereotypes which might have been true at some point. So calling telugu Italian of the east is not a bad thing. Italian is often calked the most romantic language there is, so that's definitely a good thing. Also if you want to communicate something, it's always better to compare it with what is already been globally considered best. When you say Indian Shakespeare, you are trying to help them understand by giving an analogy they can understand.
@Swach Hindi You are the one disappointed that we are not a dominant race and iam the one with inferiority complex??? And i don't believe any race is superior or interior to anyone. Also i don't want to dominate anyone. No one approved or accepted English as a universal language, it's mostly because of the colonisation English just was common. Also in todays day and age you will miss out on a lot of knowledge if you don't know English. Almost every well-known book in every language is available in English. Like it or not, that's the way it is and it isn't a bad thing. Also language is not an identity. Language is no more than a tool for communication. Which language you speak has no consequence. Again, there shouldn't be any pride attached to language or culture.
I drive a car that gives me over 16kmpl at 150+ constant speed and I'm not driving a motorcycle on the highways, my motorcycle mostly stays in the city or may take up medium distance trips for which I find the cb350 saves me some money on the motorcycle as well as on the fuel economy while delivering all the electronic goodies, features and smoothness that I need. Interceptor is more for the motorcycle enthusiast who invests more time with it and loves to use the 650cc's full potential with mods. Really cool video and nice comparison while drinking coffee and chilling. P.S. I'm eagerly waiting for the RE's newer 350cc motorcycles.
BTW some 14 years ago, I chose Honda unicorn over Bajaj Pulsar due to similar reasons of smoothness, zero vibration, 'balanced' pick up and braking and overall a decent guy's feel!
You hit the right note there friend! I am currently in a similar situation thinking about whether to go for highness or interceptor. I am currently riding Unicorn 150. So highness seems a more logical move but I love the interceptor. Also, I ride at 80-100 most of the time. Highness should be good enough for now I guess. And I will get a few modifications done to it.
SCRAMBLER 400X VS GRR450 VS CB350RS use case: 80% touring + 20% city Height is 168cm and has inseam of 29inchs coming from activa 5g but had experience of bike riding needs form bike 1. stress free cruising on 90-100kmph 2. enough power to go anywhere in india 3. good suspension ( as we know indian roads) 4. mileage atleast 25+ ( as a future clg student) want to keep an single bike in my garage for all use cases ( yess we had and scooty and other vehicles), and will not sell it .
Loved you both. Nice presentation. Also I felt the color and design could be improved in hness. It doesn't give premium looks in those colors.. Just personal opinion.
Very interesting comparison. U dont understand the necessity of such comparison of bikes standing at two different price point until u watch the video. The questions asked were very relevant. U guys mentioned abt how the video is not abt the comparison, but i believe the video actual does what u didn’t intend to.....good job guys!!!
Great video and energy guys. You had a good guest with you. Nice bikes. I think I'll buy the honda. That's a gentleman's bike. I'm 36 now so it's time for that.
Abhi, Any news on CB300R? It iss the bike i am wishing to get and there is no news on that one. CB360 or RE are not for me as i need speed and easily flickable bike.
I have a query. Many RE accessories are quite good and just wanted to know if we can add any RE acc to this bike like the military pannier and pannier mounting kit, straight engine bar, hand guard kit, rear luggage rack..
i have the same interceptor baker express which I got in February 2020...but hypothetically, i had 2.6 lacs, I would have gotten the honda and spent the rest on gear like helmets, jackets, good gloves et all...Gear is something a lot of people do not consider while buying a bike...
A really good vdo,as it should be.Informative,to the point,no blah blah,a gentlemans talk .I d like to.see more such .I think in India radiator is needed on premium bikes.
I’m the same as he is and it’s not a very big deal here in India 🇮🇳 always liked the 350s and the 500s and this 650 that I own is leagues apart from each other. It’s undoubtedly the best 650 in the world . It’s cheap to maintain too!!! Yeh the Interceptor is not even comparable to the Honda H’ness. They are a vastly different. Bike altogether. I love my interceptor and its leagues ahead of anything in its class. The maintainance cost is the lowest in the world!
On your bike a crash guard is not seen, is it not compulsory in India? Does Honda provides a crash guard, or we've to get it as an accessory!? There's no crash guard on the interceptor too!!
Above classic 350 and below interceptor What honda tried here is to fill the gyap in between classic and interceptor Next they will come with cb 650 twin
Abhinav, I have a mark 3 interceptor. Is it wise to change it's headlight abd fenders with that of honda highness? Idea is to make everything look chrome except the tank and side boxes.
You'll have to match the mounting points of the fender. May need some work. Also, it is for a 19 inch wheel but the Interceptor is 18. So may look big on the bike. Concerning the headlight, I did not find it to be super bright.
Honda h,news 350 is always better. Bike should be always comfortable, engine power is not everything. lnterceptor is not at all comfortable 🚳 bike, High priced bike not always good.
Hi Abhinav.. please talk about engine braking.. the interceptor has strong engine braking which can make riding in stop go traffic a pain... How is it on the CB 350? Is the engine braking smoother ?
Check the first 20-50 seconds of his Highway ride video. The Honda glides on clutch release in first and second gears. That should be enough for bumper to bumper traffic. He recorded a speed of 15-17kph without throttle blip.
I hv royal enfield classic bs 6 (chrome) . -To be honest RE CHROME do look more stunning nd beautifull ( looks subjective in nature) -Out dated in features on head console - vibrations on handle bar nd foot pads do exist. - refinement is there ( as i have standard nd electra too from last 7 yr) -breaking is improved a lot now it comes with dual channel ABS disc brakes. - thump remains the same as was in old bullets ( try it with swagman indori - its pleasent to ears not too loud ) - suspensions remains the same ,but rider is more comfertable on classic suspension wise. - fuel economy is good somewhere 35 In comparision to all retros whether its jawa banelli or honda cb350 it do stand apart in terms of emotional nd known feel touch ,its that old toy in home which is not as updated as new ones but it drives your emotion as ur grandfather or father owned it in their times , yamaha rx 100 , rd 350 , bullet r one of those .
Boss... Good conversation. I m RE Electra rider from 2007(13years) ... Trust me RE are bad engineered product. It does have character but it isn't reliable at all. Honda - Suzuki- Yamaha- Kawasaki : these japanese bike makers have well engineered products and you will get better ownership experience with these.

I thank you for the intelligent thought provoking discussion. Ultimately we try to buy a bike which subconsciously is an extension of who we are a a person.
There is only one thing that push me toward cb350 which is fuel economy and yeah! I’m gonna install gt continental Handel clip-on and seat cowl
I just spend one hour of my office time here listening to both of your conversate .. you guys deserve it ! Good job.
Your employer doesn't deserve it
@@Sanjeevi7 LOL. you bet.
Sri has an amazing personality ;-)
He really does.
I do agree. I really liked the way and manner he talked :)
a really informative & interesting chat, thanks for posting
A CB 500 version of the CB 350 would make me think Vs the interceptor, and 220 km to reserve is also something to think about
A twin cylinder Honda 500 will be expensive here. But definitely i think it'll be more smoother than the interceptor which is already a smooth bike
@@Redliningcrewguy I was thinking of a 500 single
@@farzinbi then long stroke 500 single definitely won't be producing more than 30 h.p. As RE 500 used to produce 26-27 BHP. And that will be slower than interceptor.
@@Redliningcrewguy but it's all about that sweet single cylinder thump you hear when you are crusing alone, a vibration free 500 or 650 thumper would be amazing. Even the interceptor is not all about speed.
A 500 twin Honda CB sounds amazing, but the added cost would price it way above the RE 650s, sadly. I'm not really sure a single cylinder 500 would do too well.
I think your the first person giving review about hness
Excellent one Abhinav, I watched all your Videos on CB 350, you made me buy this.
How comfortable is it to ride #honda #cb350 at 110 Kmph on the highway,
1. does it feel under powered,
2. are there vibrations, and
3. does one feels confident to hold that speed ( 110 Kmph ) and maneuver through the highway traffic ?
Also, you rightly said that these 2 motorcycles cannot be compared as they belong to two different target audience and engine specs. I would say find someone with classic 350, that will be a justified comparison .
For any bike 10kmph less than top speed is never a crusing Speed, common sense. Atleast this bike will reach a 100. Unlike classic which takes almost 25secs full throttle to do that.
@@SuperImbadude Did I say 110 Kmph is a cruising speed ?
From his previous videos, I gather that he thinks the CB can hold 100 or 110 all day with minimal vibrations creeping in at around the 90 kph mark, but not strong enough to feel unpleasant. He did mention that 5th gear is pretty much overdrive and one shouldn't expect much roll-on acceleration from 4th to 5th.
@@ShubhamKainthola03
Even though I've never ridden this bike I can say that it won't hold 110kph comfortably regardless of how tall they made 5th gear.
The engine has similar output to that of an RE 350 and is somewhat similar in gearing as well. A RE feels like it's gonna fall apart above 70.
This thing should do about 80-90 smoothly but any higher means your revving it close to its limit...even with that tall 5th.
90-95 all day.
you two guys are true gentleman with nice personality. Love from Bangladesh.
Honest review.. Can u do a comparison video with jawa as well?
Quality of jawa is not up to mark

@Swach Hindi should I compare him with salman khan? ..... half of the population of our country treat that name as a slang. BTW comparing with a good person doesn't mean you are dependent on western countries.
@Swach Hindi A few things here,
Firstly, learning and adopting form other cultures is not a bad thing. Infact India is(or should I say was) one of the most inclusive places on the planet. We are so diverse for a reason.
Secondly, i think there is nothing wrong in incorporating "foreign" words into our "own" languages if it helps. Languages and cultures are not a set of rules. They change, they evolve. And there's nothing wrong with it.
Like it or not English is a global language and wanting to learn it is no crime. I do cringe on the fake accent tho, we can stick to whatever accent we naturally have.
There is no pride in being born into a particular culture or a particular place.
And finally about those "praises", Like it or not, stereotypes are inevitable. Italian food, German engeneering, British motercycles, Swiss chocolate etc. It doesn't necessarily mean that they are the best, they are stereotypes which might have been true at some point. So calling telugu Italian of the east is not a bad thing. Italian is often calked the most romantic language there is, so that's definitely a good thing.
Also if you want to communicate something, it's always better to compare it with what is already been globally considered best. When you say Indian Shakespeare, you are trying to help them understand by giving an analogy they can understand.
@Swach Hindi You are the one disappointed that we are not a dominant race and iam the one with inferiority complex???
And i don't believe any race is superior or interior to anyone. Also i don't want to dominate anyone. No one approved or accepted English as a universal language, it's mostly because of the colonisation English just was common.
Also in todays day and age you will miss out on a lot of knowledge if you don't know English. Almost every well-known book in every language is available in English. Like it or not, that's the way it is and it isn't a bad thing.
Also language is not an identity. Language is no more than a tool for communication. Which language you speak has no consequence. Again, there shouldn't be any pride attached to language or culture.
@@parthabiswas7942 hahah... with u lol ! One world 💖
I drive a car that gives me over 16kmpl at 150+ constant speed and I'm not driving a motorcycle on the highways, my motorcycle mostly stays in the city or may take up medium distance trips for which I find the cb350 saves me some money on the motorcycle as well as on the fuel economy while delivering all the electronic goodies, features and smoothness that I need. Interceptor is more for the motorcycle enthusiast who invests more time with it and loves to use the 650cc's full potential with mods. Really cool video and nice comparison while drinking coffee and chilling.
P.S. I'm eagerly waiting for the RE's newer 350cc motorcycles.
which car gives 16 kmpl at 150+ speed?
@@explorer6095 I drive a Tata Nexon Diesel :)
BTW some 14 years ago, I chose Honda unicorn over Bajaj Pulsar due to similar reasons of smoothness, zero vibration, 'balanced' pick up and braking and overall a decent guy's feel!
Sadly suzuki gs 150 a better motorcycle in every regards than a unicorn was flopped due to bad marketing and awful service by Suzuki india
You hit the right note there friend! I am currently in a similar situation thinking about whether to go for highness or interceptor. I am currently riding Unicorn 150. So highness seems a more logical move but I love the interceptor. Also, I ride at 80-100 most of the time. Highness should be good enough for now I guess. And I will get a few modifications done to it.
What did you end up buying?
I am in same problem, heart says interceptor but mind says hness
@@amitsangwan007 I went a completely different route and bought FZS25 😁
@@hiteshsaikar195 Why do you went for FZS25? Any particular reason?
You gentlemen make a great team. You work very well with each other. Continued success to you both and I hope you collaborate again.
RE owners donate their bones blood and sweat apart from money to keep their legend alive. Is this an irony

How is the comfort and performance compared to Imperiale 400? And also, is the central stand rusting?
I have not ridden the Imperiale.
@@abhinavbhatt ok how is it compared to interceptor?
Watched a lot of reviews for highness on youtube but these guys explained the best!
Loved you both. Nice presentation. Also I felt the color and design could be improved in hness. It doesn't give premium looks in those colors.. Just personal opinion.
Very interesting comparison. U dont understand the necessity of such comparison of bikes standing at two different price point until u watch the video. The questions asked were very relevant. U guys mentioned abt how the video is not abt the comparison, but i believe the video actual does what u didn’t intend to.....good job guys!!!
Thanks
Any new when it’s coming North America? Was looking @ an interceptor but would like to see & test ride the cb350
well this cb350 have only
21hp and 30nm
the 1970s cb350 had more oower figures
so interceptor will be a better choice
if one need more power figures
This is one of the best motorcycle review video I have seen. This is awesome. 👏. Great .
Having an interceptor I'll definitely steal the headlight and the alloys from honda hness 350 they look beautiful. 😄
Alloys probably won't fit.
11:54 Srini:"not meant for racing"
Sad me who is never going to race the bike. But it still hurts
I love this honda, really wish they could bring it to America. Thanks for the vid
Great video and energy guys. You had a good guest with you. Nice bikes. I think I'll buy the honda. That's a gentleman's bike. I'm 36 now so it's time for that.
All the points which actually matters (feel in all aspects of riding) are answered and got a knack of how the bike is! Cheers great work!
Sree nice views 👍 , Abhinav good you bring the right person fr reviewing
Abhi,
Any news on CB300R?
It iss the bike i am wishing to get and there is no news on that one.
CB360 or RE are not for me as i need speed and easily flickable bike.
Hi Abhinav & Shini,
If I have 2.6 lacs rupees - I will surely go for Honda CB350, because this bike serves all of my purposes.
This is not 2.6 lac its 2.15 lac
@@pranavbajaj1685 watch the video first. You'll get what he wants to say.
True CB350 can be a good daily purpose bike providing comfort, practicality, and good mileage (compared to interceptor)
@@pranavbajaj1685 can buy extra accessories with that budget
CB350 💪💪💪
I have a query. Many RE accessories are quite good and just wanted to know if we can add any RE acc to this bike like the military pannier and pannier mounting kit, straight engine bar, hand guard kit, rear luggage rack..
I don't think they would fit.
I bought #HondaCB350 on 4th Nov...😎 And really big thanks to you and shri.. And to your reviews your vlogs... I'm loving this bike.. 👍👍
Congratulations :)
i have the same interceptor baker express which I got in February 2020...but hypothetically, i had 2.6 lacs, I would have gotten the honda and spent the rest on gear like helmets, jackets, good gloves et all...Gear is something a lot of people do not consider while buying a bike...
I'm the exact person as you mentioned.
With a budget of 2.5- 2.7 stuck in between this two bikes.
A really good vdo,as it should be.Informative,to the point,no blah blah,a gentlemans talk .I d like to.see more such .I think in India radiator is needed on premium bikes.
Nice. Could have been a better place to do this... too much background noise!
I like teh HOnda Look and See myself get a cafe Racer handles . I have some weird experience with RE Materials/Wirings etcs are inferior.
I’m the same as he is and it’s not a very big deal here in India 🇮🇳 always liked the 350s and the 500s and this 650 that I own is leagues apart from each other. It’s undoubtedly the best 650 in the world . It’s cheap to maintain too!!! Yeh the Interceptor is not even comparable to the Honda H’ness. They are a vastly different. Bike altogether. I love my interceptor and its leagues ahead of anything in its class. The maintainance cost is the lowest in the world!
Bro is there given helmet along with this bike ? And what are the things (accessories) they given in delivery
Better to buy a good helmet than going with the one company offered
ROFL
No helmet. Will make video on what is available
Well put together questions actually. Don't know if you had them prior to the shoot. If not, very impressive. Well spoken guy answering them too.
Nope. Everything on the spot.
On your bike a crash guard is not seen, is it not compulsory in India? Does Honda provides a crash guard, or we've to get it as an accessory!?
There's no crash guard on the interceptor too!!
Interceptor Cafe racer look really!? then what does GT650 looks like then lol🤣
Its a very useful video., and the questions especially., I had this cat on wall decision with h'nss & 650. Thank you guys.
Good unprejudiced sharing of experience by a rider on CB 350…. 👍
Hey abhinav! A quick question here, how would u compare the service rates? (Does the Honda fair a premium bcs it falls under the big branch?)
Comparable. Honda recommends oil change twice a year which is actually better.
Above classic 350 and below interceptor
What honda tried here is to fill the gyap in between classic and interceptor
Next they will come with cb 650 twin
Abhinav, I have a mark 3 interceptor. Is it wise to change it's headlight abd fenders with that of honda highness?
Idea is to make everything look chrome except the tank and side boxes.
You'll have to match the mounting points of the fender. May need some work. Also, it is for a 19 inch wheel but the Interceptor is 18. So may look big on the bike. Concerning the headlight, I did not find it to be super bright.
Awesome review man & so brief ..getting myself an Interceptor soon..Cheers from Meghalaya ✌️
Honda h,news 350 is always better. Bike should be always comfortable, engine power is not everything. lnterceptor is not at all comfortable 🚳 bike,
High priced bike not always good.
Hi Abhinav.. please talk about engine braking.. the interceptor has strong engine braking which can make riding in stop go traffic a pain... How is it on the CB 350? Is the engine braking smoother ?
Check the first 20-50 seconds of his Highway ride video. The Honda glides on clutch release in first and second gears. That should be enough for bumper to bumper traffic. He recorded a speed of 15-17kph without throttle blip.
Your content information is very nice and detailed. Suggest you to use some good mic & proper camera & location...all the best ❤️
Sure. Thank you.
A properly detailed review after summing up d other videos too. Answered almost everything one can come up with. Hats off buddy. ✌️👊
I hv royal enfield classic bs 6 (chrome) .
-To be honest RE CHROME do look more stunning nd beautifull ( looks subjective in nature)
-Out dated in features on head console
- vibrations on handle bar nd foot pads do exist.
- refinement is there ( as i have standard nd electra too from last 7 yr)
-breaking is improved a lot now it comes with dual channel ABS disc brakes.
- thump remains the same as was in old bullets ( try it with swagman indori - its pleasent to ears not too loud )
- suspensions remains the same ,but rider is more comfertable on classic suspension wise.
- fuel economy is good somewhere 35
In comparision to all retros whether its jawa banelli or honda cb350 it do stand apart in terms of emotional nd known feel touch ,its that old toy in home which is not as updated as new ones but it drives your emotion as ur grandfather or father owned it in their times , yamaha rx 100 , rd 350 , bullet r one of those .
What about the servicing? Will it be done in normal honda showrooms.. Or the bingwing is the only place?
Big Wing only.
Abhinav sir m bit confused between RE classic 350 and highness.... And i have to buy within 2-3 days... plz help me out between two..
Sir, just wait till the end of the month and ride the new Classic. Launching this month itself. Then decide.
can you please make similar video to compare Jawa 42 and this bike??
Sure. I have a small one edited and uploaded. Will release it in a couple of days.
Where’s your Interceptor?
I am thinking to buy Continental GT 650 but am concerned about weight issues. Kindly suggest!
Thanks!
Boss... Good conversation.
I m RE Electra rider from 2007(13years) ... Trust me RE are bad engineered product. It does have character but it isn't reliable at all.
Honda - Suzuki- Yamaha- Kawasaki : these japanese bike makers have well engineered products and you will get better ownership experience with these.
It's very hard to understand what Sri is saying because of all the background noise.Can you please either make the audio clearer or add subtitles? Thank you!
In 92k extra, experience of twin firing, smoothness and torque, so no comparison. Interceptor in UK at double the price than India. Lucky we
Great job bother .. very informative ...
