Honda Hness CB350 Price in Redhills

1. Buying experience was smooth, thought if buying the RS but had some soft spot for the H'ness as well.. Didnt wanna go for RE.. since the roads are pakced with RE and founf RE's clutch to be very hard.. Went for the H'ness since the pillion comfort was better than RS. And it did not disappointment me.
2. Riding experience is smooth AF, no vibrations even at 120.. very stable, havent faced any issues in the riding, but quick gear shifts is what disappointments me in city rides, but who gives a F.. as time goes on You get used to it. And its fun at the same time.
3. Retro (Anime bike) looks is what I would define this bike to be.. The RS cafe racer(extra 20k for the accesories) was what made me choose the RS more.. but since I went for the Hness,, the cafe racer look would be okayish, but no idea for the Maroon red..
4. Finished my 1st service, and KUN Honda Bingwing is a big plus in Chennai. Bought the 10k service package and gonna use it for the next 5 times.
5. Pro's - Riding, Comfort, Looks(secondary), 350cc Thumps and the Maroon red looks>
Cons: Gear shifting while riding in lower speeds, not much heavy but once u need to pull ur bike out from a pit then youre a goner, Colour fadking of the chrome silencer in the front part only ( looks cool tho ) depends upon the person..
Happy buying guys!

I bought the bike (Beast) in July 2023. It is not yet 1 year of age. Have rode 17k kms. I loved every ride from the bottom of my heart. Such a smoothness and elegance while driving it. I have driven it from Coimbatore to Goa twice and to Rameshwaram once. Also from Coimbatore to Palakkad twice in a week to see my family. I do not put tank cover. I wanted it to look like a beast to added Tank guard instead. for storage I added a STUDD box to the back right and the bumper, I designed and made a new model (Spider) with the help of Ambal Auto Work in Erode district.
I wanted my Beast to be at its best. So left it in service as soon as the spanner symbol blinks and it completed 3 services by 3rd March at 12,000 kms. So the next due was when it reached 18,000 kms or Spanner symbol.
But at 17,000km when I rode to near by district on a Saturday, I heard sound from the chain space whenever I reduce the speed. I was annoyed and wanted to take it service center as soon as I reach Coimbatore. On Monday, I was in Coimbatore, I started to Palakkad and going through Coimbatore City traffic, when all of a sudden the Chain jumped out of the back wheel sprocket. Initially, I didn't understand what happened as the sound was like some steel tin stuck under the bike. then i found chain was out of the sprocket but it didn't get cut. Thankfully I had RSA and my brother helped to send it to service center.
I was afraid what would have happened if I have taken the Palakkad highway and this happened? definitely I would have been here typing this. I was expecting some R&D and convincing points from the technical team. but unfortunately, this is being considered as physical damage and would not come under warranty as well.
even money doesn't matter much, I could not see any one talking about why the chain jumped out from the sprocket even if it loose. but noone is interested in that topic. So lost faith in Service team and I would not be interested to ride this Beast without any guarantee to my life with two kids waiting for me at my home as well. Soon will sale it and try to go from some other reliable one if one exists.

Excellent bike from Honda. Fit and finish, parts quality, refinement everything is top notch.
For a long stroke engine the refinement level is great. Smooth clutch and brakes are decent enough.
I choose this bike over cb 350 because the design of highness is unique when compared to the cb 350. And second the exhaust note. The Exhaust note is more bassy in the lower RPMs and mellows when the rpm picks up. The bike has good torque. Newbies might find the tall gearing annoying. Upgrading the rear sprocket to 2-3 teeths up might solve the gearing, if you find it problamatic. The quality of bigwing service is also good and they are professional and transparent. Fuel efficiency is decent. Overall a nice experice so far with the bike and bigwing. Anyone who is not in a hurry and need a decent mordern classic experience can go for this bike. You can never go wrong with HONDA.
