Reviews of Honda Hness CB350

I bought the DLX Pro Marshall matt green edition last year with some accessories and it costed me around 2.55L, this bike is more than capable pf what it looks like, it’s a very very solid bike and the quality of iron and steel used in the bike is top notch, I have completed 16000km on this bike and the engine is still as smooth as a new bike, there are still no vibrations , the service requirements are very less(basic), the only downside is the light throw and intensity is poor but its not something which affects the bike, you can get a good quality relay harness for auxiliary lights and the Big Wing mechanics will install the aftermarket lights for you without cutting a single wire.
Suspension are at the harder side so yes you will feel bumps but once this bike hits the tarmac it becomes the smoothest ride on the road, the handling is top tier, I can lean the bike very easily with confidence till my footpeg scrape the road 😉 but the bike doesn’t lose the grip and the braking is very effective, the bike is 180+ kg and it quickly come down from 100-0 like a small bike, so yes 10/10 for braking also the clutch is the lightest I’ve ever used, very very very comfortable and convenient in city or highway tours.
The Engine performance is something which no other brand could replicate, Honda offers the smoothest engine out there, 20.7 bhp is enough for a punchy and linear engine pull, nothing aggressive but a very amazing power delivery. There are absolutely no Engine heating issues, I have driven this bike for 400km straight without any stops and the engine gets heated up but the engineering used in the bike is so superior the heat never reach the legs unless you’re wearing shorts, then you can feel a little bit of heat radiation but that’s minimal. If you really want to extract more power from the engine then you can go for an ECU upgrade and remapping but that’s minimal will lapse your warranty and definitely heat the engine more!
I am getting around 32kmpl in the city and around 37-40kmpl on the highways depending on the way I ride.
Tip: Get a good quality visor to break the wind blast on the highways, the bike cruise very easily at 90-100 with absolutely minimum vibrations at the handle and foot-pegs, saddling is easy to do and the weight distribution is very good so I would say that the extra money you’re paying with respect to it’s competitors like RE and Jawa with substandard engineering is worth it with peace of mind and reliability, your chassis wouldn’t break down on bad roads, the bike won’t give up on you, you just have to respect the ergonomics and don’t treat it like how an average RE owner treats it’s bike. It’s a very good vehicle!

About the Reviewer

The good experience started from test ride where I was riding one bike and there was a demo guy on another bike who was constantly in talking over a walkie (integrated in to the helmet) and guiding me.
It didn't take me long to decide that I have to go for it as ride quality was amazing: power, pickup, gear shift, slipper clutch, dual channel abs, a very refined engine (as expected from Honda) and above all no vibrations.
I have owned it for 1.5 years and rode 3550 kms. No issues, whatsoever. It's a head turner on the road.
One suggestion: A slightly low seat would have definitely added to comfort and visual appeal.

About the Reviewer

Awesome bike. and make sure you test ride before you consider this bike. A gem of a motorcycle for everything.
Pros:
1. Engine (best in sub 400cc long-stroke engines)
2. Exhaust note is to die for
3. Fuel tank is huge and so is the efficiency of this motorcycle
4. 0 vibrations at higher revs make it easier for longer rides
5. Overall build quality
Cons:
1. So far, the rear brakes feel a bit sluggish, and that's my pov because I use the rear brakes a lot so maybe the brake pads might've worn earlier than it's supposed to.
2. Improper OEM accessories and their service network is a bit of a bummer.

About the Reviewer

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!

About the Reviewer

I bought this bike last year and still, it is given good performance & comfortable for a long ride.
And the mileage part is also good. The sound of the bike is very. After the 1 year still, it is running like when I used it the first time. Not need to go to the service centre again and again if you are finding any issues then visit the service centre.

About the Reviewer

Everything about the bike is just perfect. This is my first bike and I will never have any regrets about it. I recommend this bike to everyone who has the budget around it, and I've offered test rides of my bike to prove myself right. Comfort on the other hand is debatable, me being 6'3 the shoulders, and back start hurting after a couple of hours. PS - Every time I'm walking to my bike I just see it and start smiling cheek to cheek. Balanced, comfort has room for improvement

About the Reviewer

I have been using it for the last 3 years. Now, Bigwing network grows significantly compared to those days.
This is the best in the 350 cc section, considering mileage, performance, and power delivery.
Quite stable on the highway and lighter compared to other competitors.
I took it to a hilly area far from home, apart from a mild suspension issue, everything felt good about this.
At least no back pain after 200 km of driving.
Also, I am happy about its regular traffic performance. 29.8 kmph in traffic and nearly 35 kmph on the highway, and no heating issue.
Parts are also not very costly and easily available in a big wing showroom.
I would say minimum maintenance. Yearly service costs me around 7-8k. Apart from the air filter and brake shoe, I've done no major replacements I've done in the last 3 years.
The only con is that the service network is only 3/4 BigWing in Bengaluru.

About the Reviewer

After riding many bikes now I have my perfect bike, it has the fun that I need. From its purchase to services, all are professional with politeness. It has a road presence in the crowd. Smooth performance with 35-40kmpl cruise. Pocket-friendly maintenance. Done so many long trips with Honda Hness CB350.
