Honda Hness CB350 Price in Kujang

1. Buying Experience :
- Good.
2. Riding Experience :
- Very Good.
- Smooth engine. Can take high RPMs. I like to test this bike's engine's resilience. E.g. I sometiem hold at 45 Km/hr at 2nd gear! It does vibrate, but I love the vibration. So smooth. Also can give 35-40 km/l mileage at this.
- At 3rd gear, 60 is the sweet spot. (great mileage)
- Long gearing makes the bike want to hold revs
- Front brakes are much better than rear (As you expect)
The clutch is light. You'll have less hassle while navigating through traffic in comparison with heavy clutch bikes (RE, Yezdi)
- The brakes wear out every 5000-7000 km, depending on how harsh you ride the bike. The brakes are good but don't last long.
The horn is good. Dual horn. (DLX Pro/DLX Pro Chrome)
The headlight is very poor.
3. Details about looks, performance etc :
- Looks are amazing.
- Keep your bikes clean and you'll get rewarded. Often times strangers ask me about my bike. I'm sure they wouldn't have if I didn't keep my bike clean. The chrome on the bike motivates you to keep it clean. Please do so.
- Can easily hold 70-75 Km/Hr at 3rd gear. So you can imagine the engine's capabilities. Forget about 4th. Most of the time I don't have to use the 4th.
- Power Gear: 3rd, 4th
- Cruising Gear: 3rd, 4th, 5th (Depends on how you ride the bike)
- The 2nd gear can touch 65-70 if you rev hard. The engine can take it. But my advice is that you treat the bike with respect and love. Don't abuse it. Sometimes you can enjoy the power.
- This bike is made for cruising road presence. Imagine a chrome beast cruising at 80-90 km/hr, being ridden by a good driver, who's wearing all riding gears and seems to enjoy cruising. Don't abuse this bike. This bike was made to be ridden with class and respect.
4. Servicing and maintenance :
- Servicing cost is slightly on the higher side. Free services cost me around ₹2000-2200. I haven't done any paid service yet.
- Just keep the chain cleaned, and lubed.
- Keep the bike clean (use microfiber cloth)
5. Pros and Cons :
- Good performance
- Good reliability
- Average servicing experience
- Poor headlight
- Good build quality
The fit and finish is also good.
- Brakes don't last that long, but they are good.
- Battery troubles have plagued many riders. Change the battery (get an Excide Z7 battery, 18 months after you have bought it. I didn't have to until now, but you might need to)
- Get the front mudguard accessory
The rear wheel digs up a lot of mud in the rainy season. Cleaning the bike yourself is a challenge. Because it frequently gets dirty. There is no mud flap for the rear tire, so the mud keeps accumulating in the middle of the bike. Ride and you'll see. Just go to a good bike wash.
Overall, this bike is highly recommended. Best in class in comparison with other manufacturers.

About the Reviewer

The buying experience was nice.
long ride means the seat has to be changed or an extra cushion is needed.
Performance-wise its brake pads wear out too quickly during the rainy season it does not even last 2000 kms. the rear brake is almost very hard. Also, my bike headlight went off within 10 months and they refused to service it.
service cost is very high.

About the Reviewer

The purchase experience was quite nice and smooth. Riding is very smooth because of its engine refinement. No vibration at all even at 100 kmph. Looks classy and has a road presence, especially the chrome of the silencer and above the engine.
The only challenge or drawback is front brake pad wears out quickly even at very normal riding. Mine got changed at 3600 km.
Service is also a problem due to its limited service network. Consider this problem before you buy this bike.
Service cost is around 2000-2500 if service is done at their service centre, if they come to your city for service they charge Rs.1100/- as an outstation charge which is very disappointing.
