Honda Hness CB350 Price in Kumbakonam

I bought a bike in June 2023 and it's been more than 1.5 years initially I was having trouble with the long gearing so frequent shifts in the city but later I got used to it. Delivery of the bike is okay with the showroom. Servicing is a little bit complex, parts are not available for about a month easily, and takes time and is costly compared to all others. The battery on the bike is very weak and always be around 12 to 13v. Milleage is around 35-36 city and highway mix.
Overall comfort of the bike is good but needs an extender to the handle which adds more comfort to the bike.
The styling of the bike is unique but there is a design fault where in rainy season from the back mudguard water comes onto the seat and the whole bike becomes dirty. It's not powerful in segment but does the job.

About the Reviewer

Honda means trust, a very smooth and reliable engine, light clutch, comfortable riding position, and roaring and thumping exhaust sound, one problem is headlight visibility is less but it is okay for city and village roads but on highways you need to install auxiliary headlights for better visibility. Compared to RE it is a better bike with, a lightweight, smooth engine, slipper and assist clutch, better exhaust sound, more torque, and suspension quality, the front suspension is a little bit stiff but okay, rear suspension is better.

It all started with my first test ride. I initially had no intention of buying this bike. All I wanted to do was check it out before making a decision. After the test ride, I became a bit obsessed with the bike—whether it was the exhaust note, seating stance, mirror positioning, engine behavior, buttery-smooth clutch, or the abundance of features. There wasn't a single reason to reject this masterpiece.
The only thing some might consider is the price—it could have been 10k less than what’s listed on paper. But still, many would be willing to pay that for the Honda name. The weight distribution was excellent, with no engine vibrations, and I found it easy to ride in traffic. The fuel economy is worth mentioning: I get 25 km/l in heavy traffic and over 40 km/l on highways, which works for me.
I've completed my first service, and the experience was premium, just as expected. I also rode the RE Hunter and Classic, but I can confidently say that in every aspect, the H'ness is the king.
To sum it up in one statement: "It's a practical, feature-loaded, modern retro legend." I'm hopeful it will continue to perform well in the future.
