Very short & crisp impressive video done by you Vinay covering almost all from ownership experience perspective. Stands out to be one of d best references influencing in CB350 purchases as of now & a true accolade for Honda itself.
Again a wonderful content..you have covered all the concerned points anyone wanting this bike would like to know. Always happy to see your and Pradeep Sir's Vlogs 👍
your raw nature of speaking and representing the things makes your videos interesting and real. i like that . keep going i am also thinking to buy highness.
Hi Vinay, any thoughts on the availability of the Highness rear tyre specification which is 130/70-18M/C 63H? I think this is not a common spec used by the manufacturers. Do you see a challenge on a later date for the easy availability of these tyres in the market and also your thoughts on the pricing of these?
Hi Pradeep/Vinay, need one recommendation from you. I am planning to book CB350 this week, but the Bigwing engineguard/bashplates looks to me much lesser in dimension compared to the Zana counter parts which comes with sliders. But Zana accessories are very expensive, would recommend me to go for it instead of the ones that dealer is providing? I see you have them installed from the bigwing, what do you think?
I feel like I've been a part of your journey with the cb350 haha. It's good to hear BigWing let you bring in your own oil (if I were to take a guess, you might have gone with motul 7100?) for the scheduled oil change. I'd love to check with suzuki if they will honor such a request. I'm stuck with an extended warranty contract.
Excellent video Vinay, all points covered .. another nitpick if I had to do - just wish that the bike came with Honda mudflaps - apart from this minor concern, it’s an absolutely amazing bike ..👍🏼👍🏼
Hi. In one of your previous video, where your you and your friend Pradeep had reviewed tank bags for Highness. How is the ViaTerra bag? I mean - 1) Does it hinder a handle movement when fully packed? 2) Does its edge touches horn/signal switch while taking extreme left, thus horn beeps automatically? Or does it touches mobile mount? 3) Can you see instrument console and mobile in the mount clearly?
Hi, Looks like you have also added handlebar ends as well…how is the performance post installation and the brand you purchased information would be helpful..thanks
Vinay I have been following your blogs and must compliment you on a very factual review of the Honda CB 350. Your admiration for the bike shines through. The points that you consider as negatives, gearing and pickup - are they more in the manner of could have been better or are they deal breakers? Also the small insets that you added to the handlebars, were those necessary because of your height/ reach? Is the stock setup good for an average rider who is 5'8" tall? Have to also compliment you on the location, it is really serene and beautiful. What is this complex called? Thanks.
Thanks for the compliments 👍😊 Low end torque could have been better and it's slightly less due to tall gearing, which can be fixed with sprocketing, certainly not a deal breaker. Yes I added the risers to get much higher and more relaxed riding position, it's not needed immediate, you can ride the bike as it which was very comfortable too..later if you feel the need you can get it.
This man has convinced me to buy this. I initially wanted to but the RS version or even the Dominar. But considering the pillion comfort in the RS and break down problems in the Dom, I will go for this. Would love to hear his view comparing the Dominar and CB 350.
Thanks 🙏😊 I have owned the 2017 version of Dominar, which was quite decent in quality and performance, though I did not keep it for too long owing it's weight which you feel all the time, but I didn't have any breakdown as such, might be issues with newer Dominar.
Hi Vinay, love your and Pradeep's videos on the CB350. I'm 6feet tall and confused about the riding comfort between this and KTM 390 ADV. Which one would you suggest for touring mostly? Is it possible to maintain a cruising speed of 110 on the CB350, or does the engine feel stressed?
You have an height advantage to go with 390 Adv. Which can overtake anything from 120-140 kmph and cruise at 140 all day. But comes at almost twice the cost. CB350 can easily cruise at 110 without any strain, engine is rev happy all the way till 130. But at 110 if you want to overtake it might be not as quick as 390 ADV...
The rs 350 in japan has the silver colpr which in my opinion is the best and most unique looking color for this bike If that color version comes to india i am think of getting this bike
I haven't went for more than 5 kms from last 1 month. Fro 2 weeks rarely while starting I felt a slight wheezing sound. Will only last for some seconds. Do anyone know the reason
Hi vinay , Thanks for sharing wonderful insights about your CB350 , I was so tempted to pick up this one right after launch . But sadly the color options offered and too much of chrome made me postpone by buying plans for now . I wanted to check with you about performance of LED headlights in night time especially on rainy . I saw another video where someone pointed out its very poor in wet roads at night time . your experience feedback please .
Thanks 👍😊 On the aux lights I went for 10+10 w and all put together I find it more than 2.5X better then just stock headlight, if you looking for higer brightness you can go with Scout X 20+20 w
@@motovin77 I want to know how the stock headlights work in wet road conditions at night time . Would you be able to try a night ride in this current monsoon season and update feedback . The other video uploader said visibility is complete zero with stock headlights in wet roads .
@@satishk3519 Any bike stock lights visibility is bad at nights and worse in rains, even superbikes in excess of 15 lacs, hence every one use Aux lights as add-ons.
1) Which MadDog LED's are those sir?

Can you specify where did you buy those clamps for auxiliary lights. I have the mad dogs but not happy with the standard clamps we get as the lights moves due to vibration.
Hi sir I recently completed my first service but since I bought the vehicle I am experiencing some KRrrrrr sound while accelerating in higher speeds. I didn't notice it in first few days but when I took it to highway in high speeds I noticed it. I asked the dealer abt this and he said its common chain noise and is present in all CB bikes. I told this to service center guy, he said the chain was little bit loose and dry, he adjusted it in first service. Now the sound has reduced very much but still I can hear that sound if I listen closely in high speeds. When i told the same to the service guy he said that sound won't completely go as its open chain system. Please tell me does this happen with other CB bikes also or is this an issue?
Vinay ji. I booked my blue-white dlx pro yesterday. I found your review to be genuine and i liked the vibe the bike gives. So bought it. GS310 plan is dropped obv. But I saw CB500X there. That's my target in next two years. Keep making such useful videos. Kudos to you. Thanks. Cheers!
Is it a good bike for a begginer. The split seat has the same height as the stock one or it is a bit shorter or there is any way to reduce seat height few mm
Can you suggest some good bash plate for Honda CB 350. Safar pe channel showed some good bash plate from 3rd party manufacturer installed at honda service center in delhi. But in bangalore service center it's not available
Hi vinay hope u doing safe and good, kicker is not available HONDA CB350, did u face any starting trouble or if suddenly self start is not working what we can do for starting the bike...
Hello sir, I want to purchase this bike, I was wondering abt rusting and paint peel off issue. Could u please clarify on this point, cz many ppl get this issue
Hi Vinay I had learnt a lot from yo videos...It's been a pleasure to watch...Thanks alot for yo inputs...Two questions to u 1.How to clean d engine outside and keep it clean 2. Can v use engine flush liquid for inside b4 changing d oil. Is it recommend. Do u have any wtsapp group for bikers.
Thanks 👍 Outer painted surface of the engine, I maintain it just as any other painted surface, cleaning it with water and ocassionally with the waterless wash and shine liquid. Since out bikes ate brand new, there is no need to use flush before changing oil. Yes we have a whatsapp group for CB 350 owner's. chat.whatsapp.com/FgQxNLvaNux74CLxkt52Ds

@@motovin77 good to know, I started getting decoloration after 700km and I am a very gentle rider . Honda said it will happen in all bikes, so wanted to check from you
@@vineetdhar it probably could be due to the weather conditions from place to place, not observed such issues with any of the owners in Bangalore atleast.
Sir, what was the mileage inside the city before the 1st service? I am getting 28-30kmpl inside city and I am quite concerned as it is much lower than what the other owners are getting.
It was 36-37 in city before first service, after that moved up to 37-38 in city. On highway 41-42 average. Again it all depends on the riding pattern, amount of idling at signals, traffic etc
@motovin77 hello. thanks to ur vlog I have made up my mind to buy this bike. need a clarification. the exahust dosent have an additional layer above the exhaust pipe ( like we have Honda unicorn etc) to protect the pillion rider from burning his leg when he keeps his right leg on foot rest or move backwards. any solution for it. thanks
Vinay good review but what was a deal breaker for me was the lack of low end torque even though it's a long stroke engine and not to mention the taller gearing making the bike intractable in city rides where I intend to use it. Honda missed the trick as far as I'm concerned. This is where the new J platform of RE scores over Honda, the meteor even though less powerful on paper has great low end torque and tractability. Good work👍
Absolutely correct 👍 that's all got to do with the tall gearing, sprocketing should address this issue easily, in rest all the aspects CB scores over the Meteor... In my opinion 😃
Taller gearing improves high speed performance by keeping vibes at bay. That's why you can cruise at 100+ speeds without any fuss. As for the gearing you shouldn't worry really. I use mostly 1,2,3 gears and 4rth occasionally. 3rd is superb (30-90kmph) spread and it's a blast to ride.
@@motovin77 I agree with you sir, in all other aspects the highness is superior. Meteor has the typical tappet noise as with all other royal enfield bikes, I noticed that in the test ride bike
whats your height Sir? i was doing tip toes on this so am confused will it be comfertable on the long run in city rides..also i am not sure if touring seats and soft suspension settings will reduce the height...kindly reply
I am 5.8 and if you are 5.4 also you can manage, I didn't feel any difference in height with touring seat.but softer suspension setting in any bike lowers height a bit... You can try it on test ride bike and decide
Hi. Where all do you apply wax. Frame, tank, fender? Does the wax resist rust? How do I keep rust away. Lot of complaints of rusting in Mumbai. Might be due to the moisture in air. What's you take.
Hi Friend, now suggest which bike I can choose for local commuting and rarely long drives but I don't have a bike nowadays only Activa with me.... Ronin/CB 350/Hunter
Local commute Ronin, it's the one with best gearing and light and easy handling in city, doesn't heat much and fuel economy higher compared to other 2.
Hello Motovin, I'm such a fan to your videos . Can you please advice if I can rev cb350 at higher rpm s and ride it at 100+ before first service ? Please let us know what should we not do before first service.
Thanks my friend ☺️👍 Take it a bit easy on the bike, engine and all the parts are brand new and need to bed in well, I had made a video on Running in procedures, in short avoiding revving to high rpms, however in 5th gear you can still cruise at 80-90.
Hi sir, I bought honda highness bike a week ago and hearing a squealing noise while releasing the clutch. I am facing this issue from the day I received the bike and the showroom service people have no idea on it. Have you faced this issue and any idea on how to resolve it?
Congratulations 👏 Sorry to hear but I have not faced any such sounds from the clutch till date. Please ensure adequate engine oil and clutch free play as recommended in the owner manual. Also check the clutch cable routing and make sure it is not getting pulled or stretched. If this doesn't solve, pls call honda customers care and log a complaint if Bigwing service center has no clue how to fix

As for the gearing you shouldn't worry really. I use mostly 1,2,3 gears and 4rth occasionally. 3rd is superb (30-90kmph) spread and it's a blast to ride.
@@tummalapallisaurabh8708 That's right both short and tall gearing have their own pros and cons 👍
@@motovin77 I agree with you sir, in all other aspects the highness is superior. Meteor has the typical tappet noise as with all other royal enfield bikes, I noticed that in the test ride bike
@@samirsait Tappet noise and RE have janam janam ka rishta 😂😂😂
Hi Viney, We are waiting for a review of New Royal Enfield Classic Reborn 2021 review :-)
Carbon racing have introduced mud flap specially fabricated for highness the price is something around 399 . Its a hard plastic type material
Yes true but too expensive for a damn mudflap, I have one which costed 20/- has been rocking so far...
whats your height Sir? i was doing tip toes on this so am confused will it be comfertable on the long run in city rides..also i am not sure if touring seats and soft suspension settings will reduce the height...kindly reply
I am 5.8 and if you are 5.4 also you can manage, I didn't feel any difference in height with touring seat.but softer suspension setting in any bike lowers height a bit... You can try it on test ride bike and decide
Hi. Where all do you apply wax. Frame, tank, fender? Does the wax resist rust? How do I keep rust away.
Lot of complaints of rusting in Mumbai. Might be due to the moisture in air. What's you take.
Chrome surfaces you can use Autosol Polish
On painted surfaces only you can apply wax and wipe / buff with microfiber cloth.
Hi Hope you are Fine. Can you recommended brand or link for rusting control and wax . Thanks
@@rajeshnallapuri3670 For chrome parts you can use Autosol Polish & Painted surface 3M wax is good, you can get from Amazon
How to disable those all time glowing lights ... Pls help
I had made a video, you can check and do it, it's easy.
Hi Friend, now suggest which bike I can choose for local commuting and rarely long drives but I don't have a bike nowadays only Activa with me.... Ronin/CB 350/Hunter
Local commute Ronin, it's the one with best gearing and light and easy handling in city, doesn't heat much and fuel economy higher compared to other 2.
Gearing is great .It's like car where you only drive in right gear at right speed .You need not change gears frequently
How is offroad perfomance . Can we use this byke for high attitude ride , I mean ladak, sikim..etc.
Slightly stiff suspension helps in bad roads, but you might need off road focused tyres to take full benefit, yes bike can tour and go anywhere.
Hi sir, have you faced rusting issues in your bike?
No i didn't
Hi, is this bike suitable for village roads.. I usually rides in 60km /h. Whether in this bike we must use second /third gear
Yes it's good bike for village roads too, 60 kmph you can do in in 4th gear and 70 + 5th gear. Also try out new gen Classic 350.
What about high altitude issues
Is there a mudguard extender added? Is it necessary to add one in the rainy season?
Yrs added and it's absolutely necessary
@@motovin77 what about rear side? Chance of mud to reach our dress?
@@devadathpm7509 behind may not be needed but inner side of back wheel one mud flap is needed
Hello Motovin, I'm such a fan to your videos .
Can you please advice if I can rev cb350 at higher rpm s and ride it at 100+ before first service ? Please let us know what should we not do before first service.
Thanks my friend ☺️👍
Take it a bit easy on the bike, engine and all the parts are brand new and need to bed in well, I had made a video on Running in procedures, in short avoiding revving to high rpms, however in 5th gear you can still cruise at 80-90.
Hi sir, I bought honda highness bike a week ago and hearing a squealing noise while releasing the clutch. I am facing this issue from the day I received the bike and the showroom service people have no idea on it. Have you faced this issue and any idea on how to resolve it?
Congratulations 👏
Sorry to hear but I have not faced any such sounds from the clutch till date.
Please ensure adequate engine oil and clutch free play as recommended in the owner manual. Also check the clutch cable routing and make sure it is not getting pulled or stretched.
If this doesn't solve, pls call honda customers care and log a complaint if Bigwing service center has no clue how to fix
@@motovin77 sure sir. Thanks for the reply 😊
I feel chain is noisy can you give review about it
