User Review of Hness CB350 [2020-2022] by Manindra Raj

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

I am having honda hness cb350 dlx pro chrome. Here is the review:
1. These premium bikes are available at bigwing showroom only and they are not everywhere for servicing and everything I have to travel around 20kms.
2. Good riding experience very smooth
3. Looks and performance is good
I earlier thought it was a good bike to ride in city traffic like Hyderabad when compared to classic and other retro bikes so I have gone for it, now I feel this is the best. Smoother than butter than you think. I love it.

About the Reviewer

Highness cb350 gives you a proper retro feel without vibrations, I am regularly using this and ride almost 50+kms/day and it gives me the best ride feeling till now. The gear system is a bit long but it asks for shifts at regular intervals. The noise/vibrations will also not disturb your riding peace/comfort.

About the Reviewer

Only two times, I have ridden this bike.
Amazing feelings, great opportunity for me.
I m going to buy this one & only bike in just 15 days.
Earlier I also liked royal enfield like others.
But the first time I drove this bike. There is no other going to be a favorite for me...
I love only & only my honda cb 350.

About the Reviewer

The bike is fantastic, with good pickup and smooth engine refinement especially on the highways even at 100 kmph. I have driven it for a couple of 250 km long drives nonstop, with no back pain no stiffness in the butt with full body protection. I am 55 years old and love riding this bike it's a show-stopper. Sales and service by big wing Mumbai are very good. Total km drove 12908. Honda should add sales of merchandise of the highness in a big way @ big wing dealership where they sell these bikes. More color options could be made available.

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.

About the Reviewer

I am giving a review based on my riding bike of my brother as I myself not owned Hness but my brother owns one.
Pros:
1)Engine: Reliable, Aircooled, Long stroke motor with amazing engineering by team Honda. I think this engine was built especially for India.
2)Look Strong road presence in City. Sure everyone stair this beast on road.
3). Exhaust Sound: sound is best in all classics and retro bikes are available in India in a 3L price bracket the best part is Its engine is a silent exhaust that plays the role of thump sound compared to RE where the engine also makes thump sound.
4) Weight: Light weight than another retro.
5) Mileage: You can achieve 32kmpl to 42kmpl as the gearing is long.
6)Zero vibration when cruising 80kmph for long rides
7)clutch is light. May slipper clutch honda is providing.
Cons:
As I said I do not own so tell you the basis of a few rides.
1) For me gearing is long which I am not used to. As the owner of Apache 200 and Rider, I tend to ride 4th and 5th gear in 50kmph But 5th gear is no use if you buying for a city ride. For me, I got this point as a disadvantage many others did not. Take a test ride.
2) Traction control is no use for this bike to show off it's okay.
3)Instrument cluster display is so small for all options available.
4)Service cost I am not able to explain. but Honda will charge a premium as it is available only in the Premium Big wings showroom.

About the Reviewer

It will be 2 months of riding this bike after 7 days with 1400+ kms, the experience I have had on this bike is amazing. From starting this beast at morning 5 am to riding at 10 pm at night, it will give enough power to ride like a lion. Mileage was 37.5kms before 1st servicing and at present 38.2kms per litre. The bike crosses 100km/hr easily without any vibrations and that sound is a must to listen to. Overall a good 350cc bike honda has manufactured.
Although the rear shock absorbers look great, I felt the shocks a bit(typical Indian roads). The gear shift is a problem at slow speeds, couldn't ride without shifting to low gear. The Digital cluster could have been larger, and a bit dull but the display is good with easy visibility under sunlight. Dual tone coloured body could have been an option at this price point.
Overall a nice experience from the hness cb350 till now. And kudos to the bigwing sales & servicing team for providing the bike very fast with good behaviour..

1. Buying experience :
it is a bad experience while buying it from nashik( khushi honda) you need to be sure of where are you purchasing the vehicle and also check if they are the legitimate seller. I purchased it all with cash. You need to purchase it from bigwing only. Do not purchase with other honda dealers.
2. Riding experience:
Riding is a different feeling. I used to have honda unicorn before this bike and honda did a great job though i need to travel more km before i can give you full details riding experience but up till now awesome.
3. Details about looks, and performance :
I am not concerned about looks but about performance, the bike won my heart ( 98% )
4. Servicing and maintenance:
First servicing is not done well. The rear disk brake heat a lot ( i am not sure if it is normal ). Will update once i cross-check with the service center.
5. Pros and cons:
Pros:
- style and power, stability while riding, no vibration with good control.
Cons:
- as of now mileage even though riding in eco mode all others are getting 35+, i am getting below 30km/l
