Honda Hness CB350 [2020-2022] Price in Ujjain

It's my first 350 cc bike. So I don't know how other bikes in this segment perform. For my performance department, I am satisfied. There are glitches here and there but hey nothing is perfect. The chain noise and vibrations are there for sure. But what made me write this review is rate it poorly is the paint quality of my bike. I don't know if others have faced this issue in a brand-new bike or not but that's in my bike for sure. A small part of the paint from the edge of the tank suddenly came off. I was shocked to look at it. Reported to the showroom and workshop guy but had no relief. I guess have to live with that now.

About the Reviewer

I had booked this bike, in mid 2020, and been riding this bike regularly on my daily commute as well as occasional 1 day rides of around 300 kms (to&fro). I have clocked almost 17k kms now, and loved the every bit of riding experience on it.
Lets start with the basics
1. Looks wise innitially i would get comments like "honda ki bullet hai kya?".. To the untrained it might look like a bullet, but trust me it feels nothing like it, the feel and comfort on this bike is awesome, the built quality is good, though it can use a tiny bit improvement on certain parts like mud grads can be better, engine and bike chain issues (rusting) were common in earlier cases.
2. Ride quality - even at long rides of 150 km + at a time, there is no fatigue, the bike handles smoothly and you can just enjoy the wind in your face, the torque is refined and the clutch is super light, i mean u can push it with your pniky fingure.
Despite the bike looking bulky, it glides through traffic effortlessly, i happen to ride daily on some of the wort patches on can expect for traffic, but this bike has super control and dexterity.
3. Service or maintenance. - 1 major issue i faced was early wearing off of the break pads, the standard honda break pads, though good, wear off easily, i mean mine where out in 7.5-8k kms, but overall service cost of the bike is low; compared to the segment. You generally end up shelling 4-5k in service (out of warranty) but thats ok considering the performance of the machine.
Conclusion:
Overall the bike is reliable and built perfectly for daily commuters and occasional riders, handles itself perfectly in traffic and on highways.

About the Reviewer

Total disappointment.
Purchased this bike and since then have increased my blood pressure..Every time it has disappointed me.
Got a negative impression of honda in my mind.
Will not only think of any honda bikes or even a honda car if got an option.
Disc pads gone, paint gone, alloy wheel ring broken, tyres punctured.
Gone through all possible trauma.
To add to the misery, honda complaint escalation matrix and after-sales service will make your life miserable.
The only option will be to sell it off or let it rust further.
There is absolutely nothing good about anything about this bike..Not even 1 year and such frustration to update this review desperately will make you understand what I'm going through. Thanks.
