- Hello friends,
Join me on an unforgettable journey as I embark on my first ride to Manali from Delhi on Christmas Eve, astride the incredible Honda CB350! The experience was nothing short of breathtaking, and I'm excited to share every moment with you.
The Honda CB350 proved to be a true companion on this adventure, offering a butter-smooth ride that enhanced the thrill of cruising through the scenic landscapes. From the plains of Delhi to the majestic mountains, the CB350 handled every twist and turn with grace.
As we ascended into the mountains, the challenge became more intense as we battled extreme cold with temperatures plummeting below zero degrees. Riding through the winter wonderland, I was reminded of the sheer beauty and resilience of both man and machine.
The journey led me to the picturesque Simsa village in Manali, where I discovered that it's also home to the talented Kangana Ranaut. 🏡 Sharing the same locale with such a prominent personality added an extra layer of excitement to the adventure.

Thanks a lot brother for your kind words. Many congratulations in advance 🎉
Didn't know gigachad had a CZcams channel
Hi Bro,
I also have the same bike can you please give me your feedback on the Honda Fog lamps which you have installed as an accessory because I’ve seen that you have installed additional after market fog lamps. So I’m doubting the performance of Honda fog lamps. Pls help me with your feedback.
Many congratulations brother. Honda's fog lights are pathetic, useless and good for nothing. Total waste of money! I have removed them 🙂
Brother, how's the throw of fog lights which are added as an accessory from honda ?? Are they worth their price as compared to maddog or hjg lights ??
Honda's fog lights are pathetic, not at all worth the price. Please go for aftermarket fog lights which will do a much better job. I have also replaced the lights after their shabby performance during this trip.
Very good vlog Brother, Installing windshield could be a worthy option for long trip...
Thanks brother🙏. I did install Honda’s windscreen for some time but then removed as it made handlebar too heavy for my liking. 👍
Brother did you feel any difference between cb Hness & your new CB 350 in terms of pickup and initial acceleration and handling as cb 350 weighs 7 kg more and according to which is better hness or cb 350 pls reply
I feel it's more stable and planted than Highness on the highway. Can carry more luggage without worrying about balance. Overall it's a more muscular bike. Six kg more weight means it has its pros and cons. Let me say till 80 kmph the new CB350 literally 'glides'. Highness has a better exhaust note though. Do take a test ride of both the bikes and then decide which suits you the most. If you are fine with handling a heavier bike then CB350 will be a good choice 👍
bro please remove this stick of 360 camera its not looking good in video
Ok bro 👍
True
Also what is the antenna type thing in the bike handle
Hahaha... Bro, it's my Insta 360 X3 camera's stick, which I forgot to remove when it was not in use. I'll remove it from the next trip onwards.
@@theridingsaga :)
Keep it up bro!
Thanks bro 👍
We need more vlog about cb350 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sure brother 👍
Due to tall gear setup consumers mention that they need to change gears very much often in city traffic and also need to down shift to get the pick up. Did u observe anything like that with the new model
It's not a problem because of the smooth slipper clutch, which makes changing gears damn easy. In fact, it is one of the most easy to ride, enjoyable bikes in the city. At the same time, tall gears also help immensely on the highway.
Bro should i take this cb350 or triumph speed 400 , really confused .
Also second question which is better :- highness vs rs vs cb
Hi bro, if you want a retro classic looking motorcycle with a relaxed riding experience and Honda's reliability and refinement then go for CB350. If you want a sporty riding experience with Triumph's brand name then go for Speed400. Highness and RS are lighter motorcycles as compared to CB350. So I suggest you take a test ride of all the bikes and then decide which suits you the best. You will not go wrong with any of these four motorcycles that I can assure you. They all are good.
At 12.55 in the video it's so dark. Weren't you using the fog lights you installed. Or they were on and still dark ?
That's because I was using Honda's fog lights which are useless. I have removed them and installed after market ones.
@@theridingsaga ok. Here they charge almost 10k for them in Mumbai as of today. Too costly then if its uselsss
@@krisindia Yes, they charged me Rs 8000 here for these good-for-nothing lights. Sigh!
Hey man, can you share your feedback on the honda aux lights. Is it worth the high price tag? I am also planning to buy cb350.
Hi bro, Honda's fog lights are good for nothing and useless. A total waste of money!
Bro, from where have you installed this handle grip??
Hi bro, I ordered it from Trip Machine on Amazon.
where should i go to modify my Honda 350 Dlx in delhi ? please suggest
Tuffwin in Karol Bagh. The owner is a genuine guy and you will get every necessary stuff there at reasonable prices. I have been going to him for years.

@@theridingsaga THank you so much bro
@@shashanksingh340 Most welcome brother 🙏👍
Amazing experience ❤
Thanks bro 🙏
Nice vlog, actually i was totally confused when i booked CB350 Dlx pro because i ignored Bullet as well as triumph 400. I think i made a good decision.
Many congratulations. You'll love CB350 👍
You will realise later that you have made the right choice. They are also good motorcycles but Honda has it’s own legacy and amazing drive experience but if you’re looking for strong acceleration, fast motorcycle, Speed 400 may be a good option but long term report is still not available.
How can u go at higher speed before servicing?
Ideally one should not. You are right. I did this trip after the first service when I had completed 500 kms or so.
@@theridingsagaacha
Hey bro it's look like your headlight throw are not proper on road or may be it's very low
Honda's fog lights worth Rs. 8,000 are good for nothing. You are right, brother. I have now replaced them.
What is the mileage you are getting? Also did you do any ppf for the bike?
Hi bro. I'm getting 32 kmpl right now. Yes, got lamination done on the bike.
@@theridingsagawhat was the cost of ppf
@@user-pd1fi4mq2v 1500 rupees for tank and rear and front fenders.
Congratulations 🎉 for this wonderful bike !
Engrossing narration, flawless English.
BTW what is the mileage u r getting.
I am planning to own one but it will depend on ur views about mileage
Good Luck 👍
PS: It seems u r not using stock RVMs...
Maybe Bajaj Avenger or V15 (currently I own this, done 42K since 2016)
Hi sir, thank you so much for your kind words. I've got 31.5 kmpl overall so far.
Yes sir, the stock ones don't have good visibility. Therefore, I installed Bajaj Avenger mirrors.
Bro.. can you please share the throw of the fog lamp provided by honda in night drive...
Pls share ur genuine thoughts regarding this...
Absolutely worse and useless. Total waste of money.
@@theridingsaga Thank you for the feedback brother.. U have made a nice content.. subscribing ur channel 😊👍🏻
@@saswatkumarsahu9308 Thank you so much brother 🙏🙂
is it okay to take long ride(700km) before the first service? if yes then what's the speed limit should i maintain ?
No brother. You should get your bike serviced first before going for a long ride. I got my bike serviced after 500 kms and then went for Manali ride.
How is seating position compared to Hiness ? More comfortable ?
Yes, it's more comfortable as the seat is wider. However, due to its wider seat and 6 kg of more weight it's a bit of a challenge to move it around in a parking lot or cramped spaces. Highness is better in this regard.
I bought this , suspension is too stiff ...any views solutions ?
@@saurabhIndianboy Many congratulations brother. 🎉 You can get it adjusted to a softer setting at the service centre. But stiff suspension is good for highway and long rides.
Thanks bro...! I will get it adjusted in 1st Service
Hi bro! Compare to highness which bike giving better mileage?
So far Highness but its mileage will increase. The difference is only 2 kms right now.
Since Highness is a lighter motorcycle its mileage will always be more.
@@theridingsaga ok bro
I have recently booked it. I will really like to know the real mileage of the bike and any suggestions regarding the what to do what jot to do while buying or anything i need to check
Hi brother, many congratulations. You can expect a real world mileage of between 31 to 35. If you ride well in eco mode, you can expect even more. While taking delivery just make sure that pre delivery inspection (PDI) is done by the big wing guys. Check if there are any scratches or dents. If yes, you can refuse to take delivery. Once delivery is done, please ride it gently for at first 500 kms, not above 70 kmph. After the first service, you can go above 100. Always give the bike a cold start for a smooth ride. All the best 👍
Did you see any surface rust on your bike?
Not so far bro
Nice vlog.. bro👍👍
What mileage did you encounter on this trip..
Thanks bro. Overall I'm getting 32 kmpl right now.
Awesome. Can you please make video explaining the accessories that you have installed with buying link and or price please. Thank you. @The Riding Saga
Thanks a lot. Sure, brother 👍
@@theridingsaga look forward to it. Thanks
I have some questions. I'm also solo traveller (if you check my you tube) . I tell a td of this bike 3 hours ago. Even the highness. Where can I connect?
You can message me on my Instagram @theridingsaga
@@theridingsaga sure will do that. Thank you.
How much on-road price for CB350 you got? How about Mat dune color?
2.54 lakh on road price for mat dune bro
@@theridingsaga In Bangalore it's 2.77 on road + 14K accessories = 2.9L total

How is the Light throw in the night brother?
Of Honda's auxiliary lights?
Is there any issue with the original mirrors, and how is the wobbling in this model at 110-115?
Hi bro, original mirrors have less visibility and I recommend changing them. I did not encounter any wobbling issues in the bike so far in my ride of 2000 kms.
@@theridingsagaOkay, that's good. So, which mirror did you install on your bike

Thanks brother 🙏
Saw your comment in fuel injected channel wherein you mentioned that you have sold your highness recently and bought cb350….So Just came to your channel hoping any comparisons you might give between highness and cb350…On viewing your vlog got to know some things about highness…Just Need a advise I in a dilemma to purchase cb350 or Highness… to give background I just learned to ride bike around a month before till now I have driven around 150 km in RE as well NS pulser ( borrowed from my friend )…However recently I took test ride of cb350 it was good but felt a bit heavy while pulling the bike backwards, lack of loud exhaust (just lacked RE feel) and it lacked initial acceleration (maybe as I used NS recently) …I assume highness is lighter than cb350 hopefully it might offer better acceleration…but while going through other videos I got to know that cb350 has better build up quality, refinement and better mud and chain guard…..So I’m in a confusion between the two…would be great if you suggest a better bike…between this shall be my 1st bike so a bit nervous as well excited
Hi brother, thanks for your comment. Highness is an amazing motorcycle. It has a better exhaust note and it's also lightweight so it is relatively easy to move it around. I had no problems with Highness. I loved the refined engine of Highness. No other 350 CC bike in India has such a smooth, stress-free engine which allows us to enjoy riding without being bothered by vibrations. However, I like the muscular look and feel of the CB350. It looks larger than Highness. I felt I could handle its weight so made a decision to switch to it. If you like Highness, just go for it. You won't regret your decision. In fact, do also take a test ride of CB350 RS and Triumph Speed400.
@@theridingsagaAs mentioned in other videos highness has some chain issue did you feel that?…..wrt mudguard what can be done to improve that?…….Wrt 350Rs liked its design but worried about pillion comfort (my mother sits single side)
@@girishnadig9615 For me, Highness was a problem-free, reliable bike. Honda provides a mud flap as an accessory so you can go for that; it will do the job. I highly recommend Highness 👍
@@theridingsaga Thanks as recommended just booked Highness as for me weight was a concern as I was able to handle in a better manner…..What accessories would you recommend? Especially should I take long wind shield as far as I have heard the windshield directly paves the way to face….So would you recommend that?..even fog light and other accessories which I should prefer after market
congrats bro which color did you booked?@@girishnadig9615
At 15.8 on the bad roads you say you saddled. But was the ass sore by then. Im genuinely asking to understand the touring comfort
Hi brother, I saddled because it's the right thing to do during off-roading. It saves your back on any motorcycle when you come across bad roads. A good thing about this motorcycle is that since its footpegs position is centre set, it's easy to saddle on the bike.
@@theridingsaga thank you for the feedback
I already booked an Hness CB 350 but something is telling me to buy the CB350 im absolutely confused about which one to buy, the CB350 looks so beautiful to eyes, the bike is bulkier then the hness cb350 but now im so confused between CB350 & Hness CB350, i would really like some opinion on which one should i get, im getting the bike on 25th, just please someone give me more on the bike so i can make better decisions.
Have you taken a test ride of new CB350? If no, please do. If yes, what did you feel?
@@theridingsaga Yes I did, it wasn't a long one, It was around maybe 6-700m long run I did it for both CB 350 & Hness, I felt the clutch to be amazing.
The thing is that performance wise as I can see there is no such difference, but if I talk about looks then ofcourse I have two different things infront of me,
CB350 Is an absolute Classic, it is an absolute beauty, I love the way it is
Same goes for Hness.
But I feel Hness stands on a Neutral Ground, where you can get taste of sports and class together or say feel of CB 350RS & feel of CB350, with some minimal modification in looks it gives a cool cafe racer vibe too.
But my Dad likes the bulky figure of CB350, he likes "Damdar" look & how can I forget the sound, I love how HNESS CB350 sounds music to ears, I liked the Sound of CB350 too but there is something better with the exhaust note of Hness CB350.
So now there is big conflict between his likes and mine, I'm turning 19 this year, so now you might understand my taste and he is Pitaji so you might get an idea of his way of Motercycle,
It would really help if I can get a reasoning on the basis of the information.
@@Ashutosh07__ You also forgot the weight. CB350 is 6 kg heavier than Highness. Less weight means Highness will have more acceleration and slightly better fuel economy but at the same time CB350 will be more planted and stable. The difference is mild. When I owned Highness, I felt something was missing. CB350 looks complete, a true modern classic. In my opinion, you can go with any of these two motorcycles. You won't have any regrets.
@@Ashutosh07__P.S. I'm planning to install Highness exhaust on my CB350.
@@Ashutosh07__ Please remember no motorcycle is perfect. There will always be something missing. All you have to decide is what you don't want to miss.
Is that OK to ride 80kmpl before first service?
70 to 80kmph should be fine 👍
Nice vlog nice presentation it would be even better if you vlog in Hindi and English so you can attract more audience 👍
Thank you so much brother 🙏👍
Wats the brand of the Panniers and how much it costed?
There are Royal Enfield panniers. INR 33,000 including saddle stay. I customised the saddle stay for these panniers at Karol Bagh.

one more advice..switch to local language instead of english...you'll connect more with the audience. we all understand hindi/hinglish here.
Sure bro. I'll remove the stick from the next trip. Thanks a lot for your compliments and all the best for your new bike. You'll love it. 👍 .... Brother, I'm going to stick with the universal language in view of my long term plans to also reach my friends in south India and a global audience. 🙂
