- We all know, the benchmark in terms of big, plushy 350cc cruisers in India is RE's Classic 350. With its iconic name, looks and distinct sound, the Classic 350 is an icon of India! But what if you want the same experience without the usual RE problems, better handling & better refinement? Look no further than Honda's CB350, the latest model in the CB350 range! Meant to take on the Classic 350 toe to toe, the CB350 is overall a much better package than the RE! Want to know how? Watch our video to find out!

I own both Classic Reborn and This . I say on god CB350 is 98% better than Classic Reborn. The 2% goes to Classic in Service Cost and Service Centre Availability
I was buying re classic reborn because 2024 manufactured models are available there in the showroom whereas honda has nov 2023 manufacturing and they will start manufacturing in March 2024. Asked for a little discount and bought the cb350.
@@DeepakDRM I bought the dlx black on December when their student scheme was on got 12800 discount and got additional 10000discount from the dealer. Basically bought the Bike of 2.35 lakh 2.12 lakh. Good Deal
@@Armyman577 indeed a very good deal :)
I suppose CB350 has 2% of the sales of Classic 350 for the same reason. 😁
@@vineethg6259 The reason our countries literacy rate is 78%. We are emotional fools
I have clocked 45 kmpl trip average in ECO mode (70-80kmph) on the highways. I can hands down say this is the best 350cc vehicle in the market.
Sounds to be a great mileage urs is cb350 or H'ness cb350 ?
What about it's weight in city riding
@@murugavelmahendran1937 CB350 - booking started last December.
@@mithoonpadmanabhnm6794 it’s as heavy as a classic 350 and is slightly longer. But very smooth and balanced while riding in traffic.
I have got 41 kmpl in my 4000 km ride to ladakh with my highness, including all possible conditions of riding.
So happy with my purchase of Honda highness.. people should get out of traditional mindset of RE and buy better world class products.
There is a thing called Retro.
People buy RE bikes for a reason😂
@@ChandranPrema123retro shouldn't mean a downgrade. Retro is all about styling, and just look at cb350 and any of the RE 350 bikes side by side. You'll know why Honda will win that battle anyday.
@@ChandranPrema123retro? Man new classic’s design is a joke! It was better before .
cb350rs hue edition owner here, believe me its the best bike, no vibrations, smooth, does'nt feel stressed at all at 80-100kmpl on 5th gear. have alot of torque in midrange easily reach 120kmph, suspension is just wow. in starting you might feel some vibrations and heating issues but after 1st service and 1000km bike become more smoother, rightnow i have clocked 1600km and its smoothness is increasing as it runs more. Avg in city im getting is 29-30 rightnow and on highway i have not tested in city its giving 29-30 with mid revs and high revs. overall amazing bike you can go for it.
How much is the price in euros?
@@calatoriile-lui-adam I don't know the price of this bike in Euros but in rupees it's on-road price is 2,70,000/- rs
I test-drove it today. I went in to check between 350 rs and Higness. Highness won there (I am 5 ft 11in, 41 years young guy). Then I saw this and drove it. It is now the bike I want to buy. Came here for a second opinion. 100% fixed. The color is the only thing left in mind. Probably will go for the matte grey version.
This is a facelift and single cylinder version of 1960's Honda CB350. And RE Classic 350 was launched in 2009... Only RoyalEnfield's Andh Bhakts call this bike a copy of Classic to satisfy their ego...
Guess what CB350 was a copy of RE 350 when Honda entered into the UK back in the 1960s
It was a Copy back then and still is😂
@@ChandranPrema123you call it copy, we call it an improvement.
I bought cb 350 pro army green 4 days back.so refine❤.loved it.I got the honda confidence.
Dear brother, The front and rear shifter are supposed to be apart. You can not have both ends of your foot on both ends. In that case the middle peg also need to be in line. If you understand my point, The foot has to be shifted a bit to be on only one of the end of the shifter. Also think of the condition if you are saddling.
Beautiful machine + a reliable work horse ❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️🌟🌟🌟
Good review,good bike.like to see a comparison of this bike with jawa 350 2024.
Did test ride of both RE Classic and CB350. The experience just blew the wind in Honda's favour. I booked the Pearl Igneous Black CB350 today. Hope this will be a good ownership experience.
Whats the onroad price bro
@@kichukrishna288 I have added some accessories and it's costing me 2.73 lakh on road in Kolkata.
Congratulations bought the same , lovely machine
@@utkarsh739 congratulations...you are in which city?
@@tapaschatterjee2792 dehradun bro!
Nice video sir..sir jawa 350 or cb350 konsa lena chaiye?muze honda ka engine n reliability bahot achha lagta he..lekin sir aaj me jawa 350 dekh k aaya ultimate looks so me confuse ho gaya hu
I love the looks and colours!❤
Make detailed video on fog lights visibility sir
Classic350 or Meteor350 or Bullet is just a RE..
but Honda is Honda.
Please note CB350 is not inspired with it's competitor's. It a derived model from Honda's veteran model CB450
Can any owner reply on their inclined carbon racing handle bar risers installation procedure for this bike in particular
Could you please do a review of honda rebel?
What a superb production from Honda ❤❤ CB 350 ❤❤ We can't compared CB with anyother vehicle in our market ❤❤
Great narrative
Very minute details covered...
Very good narration
Eagerly awaiting full ride
& mileage review 👍
Buddy, for the gear shifter issue, cut it and get it welded with a super nice finish, shouldn't cost more than 300 to 500.
I recently bought the Honda CB350 Dlx variant. I'm very happy with the mileage and feel of the bike. The only drawback is the tall gearing. Unlike mentioned in the video, I find the need to constantly shift gears when traffic comes. I also find thag i need to put the bike in 1st gear for tall humps, because the bike stalls in 2nd gear, which doesn't happen in RE.
Now that being said I love the Bike, it's just this one negative. For Mileage I got 38 - 38.5 kmpl in medium traffic in the city with pillion rider.
Excellent video, precise information, v good overall.
Well done 👏
I own the exact the same motorcycle, colour and accessories, it’s been a month and this motorcycle is simply amazing.
Accesories milgye the kya??
@@anchitlalwani1 hey Bro, yes 👍🏼
I got backrest, leg guard, seat cover and Visor, total was approx 10k. From Big wing service, Varanasi.
@@gouraanggupta hey bhai.. Nice:) yaha Bombay me tow kuch bhi ni milaa
@@anchitlalwani1 ohh, strange, Bombay is a much bigger city. I wonder why, may be waha demand zyada hogi and supply less ? Just guessing
@@gouraanggupta ni Bhai baaki cities jaise Bangalore me bhi same haal h
Perfect video
On road price ?
Today morning got the opportunity to test ride this ... This bike looks absolutely Giant.. massive size. Just put Bullet 350 side by side , u can see , this honda looks big daddy of bullet 350 .
Yo nice vid
RE classic sells because of its connection to Indians, army, movies , old time.Now RE improved classic so it sells more, Honda never have a classic image and no connection or sentiments for most Indians
What a beautiful vehicle.. Superb!!
Yes this bike may be far better than classic 350 but still the classuc feel of riding and the character of a retro classic bike is 100% in classic 350, it's low end torque in low speed is very enjoyable and the service network too an advantage.
Butt hurt 😂RE guy .accept a bike better as better
@@vivekselvadurai612 no you are mistaken I own a highness 350 and my cousin own a classic reborn. So I know the difference bro and I accept in terms of reliability and refinement cb 350.may have the upper hand but coming to classic feel still classic 350 is better. I know the difference we made a ride on both on a trip to munnar I should say my butt got hurt on highness, and RE classic reborn has much wider and cushioned rider and pillion seat bro.
If the CB350 becomes available in the US, I would definitely buy one (exactly this one, in this color). Are there any pkans for export if the CB350 to the US? I'm sure it would be an imnediate hit here.
Apart from looks honda is better in everything compared to Enfield.
Honda really needs to work on the colours and adding some elements to make it look more premium.
RE classic just looks more young and classy both. Honda looks too retro and less eye catching
Agreed!
If Honda sales the cb series of bike in the normal honda showrooms it will be a huge sales bost for Honda and we customers can buy and service our bike easily.
I think it would have been better choice for Honda to compete in adventure tourer section than in retro. This might be better than RE classic in quality, but it looks like a copy of it. Why Honda is taking such decisions? RE new Himalayan needs worthy competitor. Honda can definitely make one and that is a better way to compete.
honda already has the africa twin but a competitor to the himalyan is in the works and is expected to be launched this year
No doubt and no comparisons.. Its road king now🔥.. Honda cb350🔥
in dec triumph HD Honda Jawa Yezdi have combined sold 8000 Units which is less than classic 350 selling 14000 units followed by bullet & hunter 350
Yes it may be true.l have ridden both. If option was not available then those 8000 would be REs. Things take time to change. Notwithstanding Honda is more refined and offer more at similar cost.
Please tell me hness 350 or cb 350, which one to buy. Looks, drive ability and performance.
Same doubt here
Highness for better Cafe + Classic + Retro look, CB 350 for perfect classic feel. As a 650R owner and usually go for Honda rally, i think RS is best in terms of seating and rider comfort, and Highness for that classic + lord looks
Its easy to maintain as its a Honda... Im waiting for their cruiser model with the same engine.. A replica of Thunderbird /Meteor🤩
What is the difference between classic 350 and hunter/Meteor?
Kawasaki eliminator
What a beautiful classic bike.
Best in class 😍😍😍dream bike ‼️🌟‼️🌟
I like how you think.. .HOnestly Re has been on an ventilator since a decade now... If theres a 600=700 cc in this variant im def going to get it
Does this motorcycle comes with DRL lights or AHOS lights can you reply 🙏🙏🙏
yes, light always stay on. you cannot turn them off
Bold design with Honda Relaibility
Any wobbling issue like older models?
That's I also looking for
Need Silver color option in CB 350😊
Mileage Kitni Hai
Safety and reliability, that's Honda for you.
Which is better between Jawa 350 new version n any cb350?
Besser Jawa mehr Chrom ❤ als Honda ist langweilig einfach und wenig Stil.
Bro what's your height
What do you think is better bike to buy RE hunter(dapper)/RE Classic(Halcyon)/Honda CB350 .
Wouldn't compare hunter with classic or CB 350. A Better comparision would be with h'ness/RS. Between Classic and CB......I'd go with CB since I'm not a fan of the Halcyon variant, Although I do think the Gunmetal grey and the signals variants look extremely attractive. CB is lighter, more refined engine and has TC so there's that. All the best!
wish i could get this in the US.
Gearing is not good. Needs frequent gear change. Hope Honda will work on it.
Highness or this ? Advise
comfortable jyada cb350 hai
Honda also offers appearance packages for the CB350 wherein theres a cafe racer version for 22k more than the base price. Would love if you guys could review that
Does it has E20 engine??
yes
Indian reviews for foreign brand: it is safe to day honda took inspiration from RE
If RE does: RE has copied a lot from honda design for their motorcycle
What a thoughtful mind
for shifter u better try with riding boots....wrong comment
Seat height?
Little lesser than classic 350
Honda CB350 . Refined engine , good performance and comes with good features.
Always on led blinker is awkward
looks good but exensive . TRiumh sed 400 and aprilia 457 better and cheaper
Honda CB 350 Superb Riding & Good Looking ❤🫰
honda is not inspired from bullet. your saying that because you dont seen the old models of honda cb .
Well said, honda is ten times better
How much is the price in euros?
3000 euros
@@CreativzFood when the model come in Europe?
@@calatoriile-lui-adamyou have better Honda motorcycles over there. Why do you want a 350cc?
@@fakyoutube_69 where i have? Im from Europe))
True faster s long time a real challenger for RE yet RE is surprisingly very futuristic in thinking
CB 350❤❤
I want to ask one major questions to anyone who can answer.
My town does not have a Honda bigwing showroom and if I want to buy the bike I need to go 200 km to other city. Thats not a big problem because that's one time deal.
My question is do I need to go back again and again to the Bingwing showroom for Service of the bike. Can't any other normal Honda service center can service the bike???
200kms is too much....i would suggest to go for a bullet/classic reborn
~ sincerely, a cb350 anniversary edition owner
@@rishavganguly1687 Thank you for the suggestion, I will reconsider...
First of all until and unless there is some issue with your bike no need to go service centre, secondly bigwing service guys are very helpful they take help you even over the phone. Honda is known for its reliability, don't think you have to go every month, just go when you need service before 6000km.
@@sk.wasimakhtar4112 I get what you are saying, but we do need to service the bike at regular intervals. So I have to go the Bigwing service center 200km away on those dates.
Which is time consuming for me.
Don't get reborn it's a price of shit waste of money
The navigation feature in the Pro model is a crapware.
The bike is very good though.
Kindly check the history bro..honda not inspired by Enfield ...it is their own design..kindly check 1977 honda 450 ....work on your history....
It's not Honda have tried, But Honda has tried...
CB 350 super bike ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Honda CB 350 🔥
Highness is better. Honda will do everything even go after RE but will never release their better models to the Indian market or bring their costs down on bigwing products.
You have explain like it is new launched product but it is same as honda h'ness only a face lift most of time it's 5th gears is not used , and also all of u know about honda sales after service is too expensive and limited...
And that's you also know but still you prefer your choice to honda because it seems to be a paid promotion of honda😂
Honda CB350 Super Bike
Honda is a much bigger brand than Royal Enfield anyway.
jawa yezdi roadster b dekh lena ik bar honda lene se pehle....mind chnge kr loge😅
🤮🤮
They could have came up with a 500cc engine for this model.
My hope is they do release a 500 or greater single cylinder model, which in turn makes RE wake up and make larger capacity thumpers too. More competition is better for everyone. Though it think the Honda would be nicer because of being a little bigger.
Dude your feet are small 😂😂
I am proud owner of Cast Iron 2005 model royal enfield and i have to say that i hate all new bikes from Royal Enfield.
Their reach is very less .. they should sell this product even in normal showrooms not just big wing
Brother you are small😂😂😂😂
Classic review 😂
Real bikers wear boots common Sense isn't that common anymore
It's a nice motorcycle but not a real retro motorcycle.
The day Indian Army will use Honda bikes in making the Human pyramid Formation on the Republic day that day we will accept that any other bikes are above royal enfield 😂😂🫵👍
Instead of launching Honda Rebel, they keep launching these pathetic copy cats. Next they're gonna launch a copy cat of meteor. Come on we need low slung cruiser.
You dont know how the market works kid😆
@@Scrambler695 they released CB300R which is pretty much the same engine as Rebel 300. They can release the Rebel too, only enthusiasts will buy. Toddlers like you will suck on these pathetic designed bikes, may be you should put the pacifier away and grow up.
CB350 is more retro than rebel 300
Btw, it’s inspiration comes from their own Honda CB450 (1965-73)
Nah, doesn’t look as good as the original
Every legend has its cheap copy 🤣
I love the design and this bike but from now onwards its just ka copy .
Copy of what bro😅
@@sadiqueali5117 cb 350 was amazing what a look man I was fan of that motorcycle then honda smoked some green herbs like kasoori mehti
It's just copy of RE highness looks much better JAWA 350 is new competitor
Small hands small feet……
Copy of RE, but loha is always loha so i am going to buy RE not plastic honda🤣🤣🤣
Rust bucket!
Cheap copy cats be real
Shameless copy😂
Ew🤮
RE has service centres all around.
On funnier note..hotel ki service kharab ho to bhi chalega par Hotel to hai..warna bhooka marna kya?
