Update: Hey Guys! I came back from Bangalore a couple days back and there I borrowed (not rented) an RE Meteor 350 with 5000 km on the ODO. The bike was not refined above 80 kmph with its mirrors vibrating intensely. Additionally, on throttling, there was a weird sound coming from the engine as if the piston was about to break, although nothing happened. This was the second time I rode the Meteor 350 for 200 km. Came back home and rode my Highness. Honestly, there is no match in quality and refinement. Highness is a clear winner. Ride these two bikes back to back to know the difference.

Yesterday my friend rode my H'ness 2023 model and he was blown away by the smoothness of it. He was like why are people still choosing royal enfield when this gem exists in the market.

I booked blindly even without seeing it during launch in 2020. Started riding this beast only on delivery . It was amazing and quite easy to ride. Now after 2.6 years long ownership covering 29k kms, it's a really worth machine from honda. Best in this segment.

The reason why i bought this beauty - 1. I always wanted a cruiser bike right from college days use to like meteor 350 a lot but finally we t for this bcoz their are too many royal Enfield bikes on the roads , it is current time splendor , everybody wants it be it a college student , an office goer , old uncle's , young pass out school kids , in my locality itself we have 1 gunmetal grey classic , one Electra black colour , 2 standard , 1 chrome , 1 Himalayan , and 2 meteor 2. The bike engine is much more refined and smooth in comparison with royal Enfield engines 3. 10kg lighter than classic 350 so that further adds a value in a long run 4. Looks refreshing on road , no after market modifications are required except the headlight , it's throw is not that good especially in foggy winter nights Their are some cons in general so plz consider that too - 1. No bigwing dealers in most of the cities , so many people aren't aware of such bike 2. After sales services are very costly in comparison to royal Enfield, which I don't know why Honda is doing that as it is always known for affordable services 3. Many mechanics in the city won't even touch the bike if any issue occurs especially in teir 2 and tier 3 cities 4. A bit expensive, prices are not that competitive to royal Enfield 5. Would be hard to sell it out after 3-4 years as many people aren't aware of this bike and i recently visited a 2nd hand bike dealer in my city and he was not that interested in the bike and said that max to max he can pay me 1.25 lacs for the bike and it's just 14 months old not even a single issue in the bike then to he was reluctant , so it's a highly depreciating asset , so consider that too , in a long run things change our perspective change so ya 6. Headlight issue which I have mentioned earlier 7. Waise to not needed but everyone has their own taste , so not many after market modifications options available Conclusion if you really want to purchase a cruiser/retro bike than think about for a long time if you especially belong to a middle class family as on road price is more than 2.5 lac approximately and its value depreciates very quickly 8. Engine is refined and smooth but you won't feel that torquiness, it is a bike for relax movers like me which is not everyone preference

Really loved this video as you answered all questions I had in my mind. I have a TBX 350 and am finding it a bit of a pain to ride in city. I know it’s not meant for city traffic but wanted to experience the brand. I was confused between Hunter and Highness. Plan to take a test ride shortly. Your video cleared so many doubts in my mind. I have to probably stretch my budget but that’s ok.

You have such a sharp observations i have watched so many Highness videos but the way you have pointed and explained details its nice.

Wise decision brother! You went for the right brand and bike

Yes Excellent Knowledgeable Detail Review & Perfect Comparison so thank you so much bt actually i ask the 1 question in fact very confusing to take a decision.. So please tell me & Solve my confusion..

Sir you have given a very genuine review about honda highness cb350. You have convinced me to purchase Honda over RE bikes. Thank you very much.

After having test rides of cb350 and meteor350, i hv happily chosen meteor350. For long rides, meteor is the beast.

After seeing ur reviews I am happy to go for meteor 350

Very informative. Thank you.

Sir ji mere paas abhi Yamaha FZ-S v3 Model Hain aur maine mere back & neck pain ki vajase 2 saal pahele purchase kiya tha bt fir bhi mera Back & Neck pain kam nahi hua hain balki abhi tho mere dono ghutne pain ho rahe hain so abhi main soch raha hu ki Abhi Main Honda Highness CB350 purchase kar lu aur Highness 350 ka Weight ratio & Weight Distribution bhi bohot accha hain... aur Sitting position & Foot Position bhi Straight Lag raha hain.. so ye mera decision sahi hain kya..? Plz Tell me..

Mirror ke baare me kya feedback hai? Maine Classic350 k liye RE dealer ko booking amount de diya hai, lekin booking nahi karwayi hai abhi, Please share your experiance with regards to CB350 Headlight, Mirror, Slipper Clutch, Mileage. My major concern is headlight and mirror, it will help me to decide where should I go, with Honda or RE.🙂

As soon as Honda announced Cb350 a exact replicate of RE 350 bikes in terms of engine specs , i was sold out and started purchasing process by accumulating finances , watching reviews , forums and showrooms during lock down days it self. This was true . upgrade to RE 350 by years . After 20 months and 28 k odo , highness still is electric smooth and no depreciation in power .

Great Choice Buddy ! 🤘

It's only available in bigwings not in Honda showrooms all over India. So it is only for limited customers living in big cities, not for small and medium town customers.

Hii, I watched this video and i also have booked 2023 h'ness cb350 for my self and in November i will be taking delivery of it...But in recent time i have came across some video's of h'ness showing it's handle wobbling issue.. What is your opinion abt it ...?? Shall i still consider this bike for myself...?? Or shall i go for Meteor 350...??

Hello Brother , 1) Any heating issue near engine or foot pegs in heavy traffic city conditions , 2) cold start in morning does it take 90 secs for engine to start up , 3) if we stop in signal with start/kill switch again to start the engine takes time is it ?? plz explain !!

Excellent review and perfect comparison

Very well Explained Sir 👏

In comparison between highness,RE standard,Jawa 42.. which will be a value for money?..

How is seat comfort. For rider as well as pillion

I am confused between meteor and cb 350. What should i go for? I had a dream to buy RE meteor. But after watching video reviews and test rides. I am more confused now. Test drive experience Honda was slightly better in gear shift, built and sound and overall experience. Comfort, after sales service center cost RE meteor. Please suggest

I bought cb 350 rs recently...also my father has classic 350 2015 model ..nd roomate has 2021 hiness

Headlight ka throw kaisa hai? LED koi dikkat to nahi karti as compared to Halogen? Especially when you running around 90kmph, how H'ness CB350 headlight perform?

Brother how it's soccer, if someone has lower back pain issue ....they can buy or not....

Well explained!

Brother... Is there any wobbling issue in your CB? Especially after 70 kmph?

Service cost kitni padhti hai honda ki? Like adding engine oil, labour charge every thing how much does it cost ? Also If possible could you please elaborate cost w.r.t free service and without free service. Thank you in advance.

Bhut deeply review diya Bhai👍👍

Yadi achanak se kahin remote place me if honda breakdown ho jae tb pta chalega aapko😊...jaise mere place me koi big wing showroom nhi ha

Hmmm.. Very beautifully explained

What's the Mileage in heavy city traffic like Bangalore?

Sir, I want to buy the cb350 rs and have been planning for the same for a good amount of time. The issue is, there is no service centre in my city and the nearest is 130kms away. Considering the lack of service, what is your take on this? Please guide me, i am very confused.

Congratulations....Great choice 💐💐 My decision to go for highness,2 year back was the best decision to go for a reliable bike...

very good words. Ownership matters with service. i am suffering with TVS's riddiculous service. Thank you Sir.

CB350 Vs Meteor350 which one is more better, my height is 5.8

How is this bike for youngsters ??

Wobbling issue dekhe te aap during research? There are many videos on KZfaq regarding wobbling issue. This problem completely turned me off!

Nice review

Mileage city or highway me kitna hai?

Beautiful machine + a reliable work horse ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️🌟🌟

Is honda working on gear issue?

Which colour u opted for?

Beautiful machine + a reliable work horse ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🌟🌟

Sir plse aapse contact karna hai kyuki mujhe aaj bike leni hai plse suggest ke meteor 350 and rs

Have covered 33k on my hness. Bike runs butter smooth..no unnecessary noise.. I feel pity to the people who try to defame honda hness without experiencing this masterpiece in longterm basis

Sir please help me to make a choice between RS and Highness.. My requirement is to ride long with comfort.. I like looks of RS but concerned will RS be little uncomfortable?? My height is 5 ft 11.. People saying that 10 percentage aggressive posture won't be that much of a deal.. Whats your opinion in it??

I think RE is running after quantity with mass accessibility and not quality. Hence, honda is secretly excelling in these 350 segment war by setting these bike in a premium category and like minded true honda fans!

Maintenance costs is costly than RE. Especially labour charge

Ktm 390 vs cb highness 350 please comparison video

What do u say

मैंने अभी cb350 टेस्ट राइड नहीं की है, लेकिन यूट्यूब वीडिओज़ में एग्जॉस्ट साउंड काफी लाउड और फटफटिया जैसी लगती है। क्या वाकई ऐसा है? I hope that I am wrong! I am planning to buy it!

Heat bahut hota hai iska kya elaz hai, i ride very less once in a week

Wobbling?

Sir Your height ?

I know quite a few people who got Honda highness but they all are facing wobbling issues, which is terrible. There are many videos on that on youtube. I was initially planning to go for Highness, but then changed my plan. The engine is awesome , butter smooth no doubt. But the design and color options are mediocre. Looks like a splendor on steroids. Honda should have given it a better design , so that it stands out. RE classic 350 is too common on the road , that's the main reason i thought of going for cb350. But still because of the wobbling cases and poor design, I decided to go ahead with Classic 350 reborn (J series engine). I took the chrome bronze one , looks awesome and even the engine is smoother as compared to old model. I am absolutely satisfied.

Good sir

He's Dil se safar

CB 350 RS GOOD BIKE

Quite a sensitive topic 😂😂

Have another KZfaq saying he told cb350 and bought xpulse.

Honda better than bullet in all aspects. But bullet is much much more beautiful & has more service stations

Even i went to book re super meteor 650 :: royal enfield showroom owner is like kharidni hai to kharido 4 mahine waiting hai !

Please dont compare honda with RE please. Its like comparing Ducati panigale with Tvs xl100

You take so much time to clear yr view that not good

RE has better design road presence rest of the parts are disaster..... every week had to visit workshop....mechanic was my best friend....later sold and gone with highness still love RE looks....Go for RE if u need looks and have time to fix things....

Arey ashneer ji 😅

Not a fanboy of any brand... As an RE rider i do agree there are certain things that RE needs to sort out and following things happened with my 650: 1. RR-Unit failed twice @6k and 10k kms (changed under warranty) 2. Handlebar wobbling (I've seen this issue in few CB Highness as well on YT) 3. Speedo sensor failed at 12k kms (changed under warranty) 4. Thud sound in coneset (will get it checked in my next service) 5. Pass switch stopped working Honda is the best when it comes to build quality & reliability but i do expect/want RE to improve with time which they are.

Mileage batana rah gaya 🙂
