Honda Hness CB350

generally considered reliable, smooth, and well-engineered, offering excellent refinement and minimal vibrations even at high speeds. It's an air-cooled, long-stroke motor built for longevity, providing good mid-range torque for both city and highway use. While the engine itself is robust, some owners report issues with component durability, like quickly-wearing disk pads and chain sprockets, alongside high service costs and limited availability of service centres. However, the overall consensus points to superior engineering and reliability compared to competitors, making it a worthwhile investment for peace of mind.

Honda CB350 – A True Modern Classic!
Riding the CB350 is an experience in itself – the perfect blend of retro charm and modern performance. The smooth and refined engine, deep thumping exhaust note, and comfortable riding posture make every ride pure joy.
What I love most is how it feels solid, reliable, and premium on every road. Whether it’s city cruising or long highway stretches, the CB350 never fails to deliver a powerful yet relaxed ride.
Honda has truly created a bike that balances style, comfort, and performance in the best way possible. Proud to ride this masterpiece!

About the Reviewer

I have experienced this bike, and it is amazing. I had a backbone fracture, so I wanted to buy a bike that would be good for my back. After riding this bike, I feel it is the best-suited option for me due to its comfortable seating and smooth tyres. It is also suitable for both long rides and Bangalore traffic.

About the Reviewer

The buying experience was nice.
long ride means the seat has to be changed or an extra cushion is needed.
Performance-wise its brake pads wear out too quickly during the rainy season it does not even last 2000 kms. the rear brake is almost very hard. Also, my bike headlight went off within 10 months and they refused to service it.
service cost is very high.

1.a. Idling issue:
As soon as I start the engine the acceleration picks up to 3 to 4 RPM and stays for a longer time than usual. Ideally, for the HONDA cruise models, this feature is added in place of ‘Chokes’ that other regular vehicles have.
1.b. No buzzers provided for indicators:
The buzzers for the indicators are not being provided for any of the cruise bike models. This feature is very must required. Any automobile expert recommends this feature in vehicles, as this adds to the SAFETY of the driver if at all the driver forgets to turn off the indicator, the buzzer reminds him to turn it off.
1.c. Fault in battery cover:
There is a problem with the locking system in the battery cover. Even after locking the cover, the cover doesn’t lock on the one side, as there is only one stud that’s gets pressed against a hole and other is a hook which gets locked firmly. The one with stud can be removed easily, which is left with the key lock in the bottom and hook lock on the top. Any miscreants can easily remove the stud part and break open the cover and steal the battery.

Purchased honda highness DLX PRO CB 350 on September 19, 2023 from Honda Big Wing Worli. I have suffered immensely due to pathetic service and request you to kindly resolve all the pending issues on a priority. Following are the issues of during the sale/after the sale process:
(i) The Bike was booked on September 10, 2023. The on-road cost of the bike was reflected as ₹240682. I have received the invoice as follows against a payment of ₹240682.
a. Payment to Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Department: ₹3066
b. Insurance Premium ₹ 15045( Debit Note for 15,130)
c: Tax Invoice including GST: ₹214856
d. RTO Registration Charges-₹6797
Total of the invoice value from a to d is ₹239764
Complaint 1: Kindly resolve the difference between ₹240682 and ₹ 239764
(ii) The Insurance policy issued at the time of the bike purchase was made invalid by ICICI Lombard due to the non-realisation of the premium. They have reissued me a policy on December 11, 2023 showing the vehicle registration date as December 11, 2023. The premium charged is ₹14782.
Complaint 2: My bike was non-insured from September 19, 2023 to December 11, 2023. Also, no refund is made to me on the excess premium payment taken. I request ₹50,000 in compensation damages for deficiency in service of not insuring the vehicle. Due to your deficiency in service, my insurance policy has factual inaccuracies that vehicle registration date is December 11, 2023 which makes the new policy also invalid.
(iii) The sticker of the bike was damaged at the time of delivery. I had regularly been in touch with the delivery guy who assured me that the sticker would be replaced within weeks. After multiple follow-ups, the delivery agent confirmed on January 7, 2024 that the sticker has arrived. On talking to their Service representative, I learnt that sticker replacement will require the paint of the tank also to be repainted.
Complaint 3: I want the sticker repaired with the original paint or the complete tank to be replaced with original paint.
(iv) The horn of the bike is not working properly from day 1 of purchase. I had raised the issue with the service representative on first service in October. The issue persists till date. While service representative has advised me to bring back again to the showroom, I don't have time to visit the showroom again and again. The most callous behaviour was when at the time of return of vehicle horn issue was persisting, the service guy just pressed the clip with his hands and told everything is fine.
Complaint 4: Kindly arrange bike pickup and drop from my home and replace horn along with horn clips so that horn issues never arise in future.
(v) The self-start of the bike does not work at the first instance and I need to switch on/of the engine button nearly 10% of the time.
(vi) I approached the service representative for a replacement of the side mirror on Feb 15. The service representative has informed me that it will come next week. Next week on approaching the service representative, I was told it will take one more week. I am yet to receive any communication from the service representative.
Complaint 6: If the company cannot arrange basic bike parts, the sale of bike may be immediately stopped.
