About the Reviewer

Buying experience with Honda Big Wing is good.
Overall this bike provides a really good riding experience everywhere.
Looks are subjective. CB 350RS has been made really well it gives off a retro sporty vibe, and engine refinement is top-notch.1st service has been done and the bike feels more smooth and refined.
Pros would be a big bike feel, looks, and reliability.
The cons would be stiff rear suspension.

About the Reviewer

First of all let me tell you all, that I'm absolutely in love with my bike, every time I park the bike I get a tendency to walk backward while admiring the beauty of this gorgeous bike.
I got the cafe racer edition with the grey color scheme, which looks stunning and attention-grabbing with the cafe racer kit on. I had people come up to me and ask me if it's an import. The big front 90-110 section tire gives off a cafe racer vibe to it from the side profile. the thick 150-session rear tire is like a dream, gives a lot of cornering stability and confidence, and is great whether on the highways, trails, or even off-road, believe me, I have taken this bike everywhere from highways to the mountains. Absolutely satisfied with the tires. The suspension is well, a bit stiff, great when it's on the highway but causes some bone-rattling off-road. I have a few concerns regarding paint quality, the tank gets scratched easily so I'd advise getting PPF.
1. Buying experience
It was a hassle, to be honest, I changed my booking to the black color, they said the waiting period is 2 weeks and they have the grey in stock and can be delivered within a week. However, due to poor documentation efficiency from the showroom, the bike that was registered to my name from the RTO was grey. I raised a complaint and they said they could change the bike but it would take around 1 month, so I thought what the hell! then grey it is..for their inconvenience I made them give me the cafe racer kit with the front portion for free, they hesitated at first and then accepted my conditions. But still, I'm satisfied with the bike as the grey is quite rare, and with the custom kit its one of a kind.
2. Riding Experience.
As said above I took the bike everywhere, the bike is smooth as butter when it comes to the engine, and the ride dynamics offer a sporty position from the handlebar and the backward set foot pegs. The bike has an average bottom-end torque, a solid midrange, and a not-so-decent top end. I have been able to get 130 kmp/h and that's from me a rider who is 6'10 and 100kg. The exhaust note is pure bliss, when riding in eco it's almost like a melody, but when you open the throttle the bike roars to life like a dragon ready for war. The looks while riding are pure Japanese aesthetics. In my opinion, the bike's best performance lies in the 2nd 3rd, and 4th gear. One thing to note is the jump we get when redlining, after the maximum rpm on a gear when you shift upwards the bike gives a sudden jump in acceleration. I have been able to ride for 100km nonstop without any gel seat or any other comforters.
3. Service and Maintainance
The first 4 services are free at almost 1800 approx. Honda does a good job in servicing. The first service in 1500km or 1 month, 2nd service was 5000 I think, then it's every 6000km. I have listed the maintenance tips below.
Pros :
Mileage
Road presence
Engine refinement
Cons :
Gets dirty easily
Small pillion seat
