User Review of CB350 by Shourya S P

I purchased a Honda CB350 on 30th August and they announced the recall campaign just one month after my purchase. When I gave my bike to the first service, I found that there was a gap between the headlight rim and the main body of the headlight. When I asked them they said we can't do anything now. The gap still exists and it doesn't look good. The USB charger is not working out of the box, I made the mistake of not checking it during the delivery, and now they are saying the electrical system is not under warranty. In the rear mirrors, we can't see anything. I don't have the confidence to turn left or right, I need to see back since mirrors are useless. Even 2 months after the announcement of the recall, no one has called me for part replacement. It seems they need to replace a camshaft and sensor, which needs the opening of the engine. I am not confident of the reliability of the vehicle now. I am disappointed by the brand Honda.

About the Reviewer

I enjoyed the performance of the Honda CB350; it was excellent overall. I love the design that Honda implemented. The ride quality is awesome, and I was truly impressed. Thank you so much, Honda, for this amazing motorcycle!

About the Reviewer

Product quality is not good. It is not recommended to buy the Honda Hynes CB350 due to its poor engine quality. During long rides, we have faced multiple issues, like exaltation false, and the bike is not able to run smoothly. The bike's engine quality is poor compared to other bikes in this price range. I personally recommend that you choose another bike.

About the Reviewer

I have been driving it for around 2 months now. Getting 30 mileage in Bangalore traffic and 41-42 on highways when driven at 80 speed constantly. The bike is cool, no complaints about it. No heating issues or any other kind of issues were noticed. I was super confused between this and the classic 350 but chose this due to this having a slipper assist-clutch, traction control, and Honda reliability.

About the Reviewer

I had an RE Thunderbird earlier, I had so much discomfort with that bike from Day 1, that I was wondering whether to switch to a new bike after I reached my threshold of using RE, I did try multiple bikes before finalizing the Honda CB 350, It's been 7 months clocked near 6k thoroughly a robust engine, practical, easy to maintain bike compared to RE. The only glitch I could notice in my new machine is its poor lighting, else this is a beast.

About the Reviewer

Pros:
Smooth Sailing - Excellent for long drives !!
Stunning LED Headlight & Good build quality.
No vibrations at all..!
Excellent ride quality & Stunning look
Cons:
Heating Issue during long drives. It should have been oil-cooled & Low torque at 5th gear when compared to the RE Meteor 350
But overall I would recommend CB 350 for all Retro Riders :-)

About the Reviewer

Awesome bike vibration-free engine and if you are shifting gears properly than the mileage would be above 40kmpl. Torque, power, everything good about it. I also had a good service experience at its showroom.
Pros-
1. Mileage 40+kmpl
2. breaks, perfect breaks are one of the best features of this bike, it's a heavy machine but breaking is so perfect.
3. powerful engine, bike moves like a rocket, vibration-free
4. Perfect look, looks more bulky than RE.
5. weight management, 187kg bike looks like a very light bike due to its perfect weight management.
Cons-
1. The main LED light setup could be better.
2. Some yellowish colour formed at the beginning of the silencer due to heat.

About the Reviewer

The buying experience was good. The Build quality is also good.
The riding is also fine, but above 80Kms it needs some effort to pull.
Here are my Pros and Cons
Pro's:
The Honda Badging
Build Quality
Cons:
The biggest drawback is engine, which is Air-cooled, I'm surprised that Honda gave a 350 CC engine an Air-cooled option, it should be Oil or Liquid Cooled. Because of Air cooled engine, it heats like anything, and you can feel that while driving in traffic and on long rides as well. Didn't expect this.
The Service costs are too much, it's not that we use the bike for long rides, we use for daily commutes also, hence whenever i go for servicing they tell me that Brake pads, Clutch pads etc. need to be changed. That's ridiculous, when asked they said we should not be driving that much in heavy traffic, and we should not apply pressure on brakes. So disappointed here as well.
I get a message saying that some defective parts needs to be replaced after 1 year of purchasing the vehicle, its related to breaking and ABS, which was never told to me for all 4 free services. So, it's not a good approach by Honda.
Overall, purchase this if you want to occasionally travel in heavy traffic and frequent long drives. I won't suggest this for city drives, Family drives etc.
The mileage is also not that great, in traffic conditions i get around 25kms.
