Reviews of Honda Hness CB350

Awesome bike. and make sure you test ride before you consider this bike. A gem of a motorcycle for everything.
Pros:
1. Engine (best in sub 400cc long-stroke engines)
2. Exhaust note is to die for
3. Fuel tank is huge and so is the efficiency of this motorcycle
4. 0 vibrations at higher revs make it easier for longer rides
5. Overall build quality
Cons:
1. So far, the rear brakes feel a bit sluggish, and that's my pov because I use the rear brakes a lot so maybe the brake pads might've worn earlier than it's supposed to.
2. Improper OEM accessories and their service network is a bit of a bummer.

About the Reviewer

The good experience started from test ride where I was riding one bike and there was a demo guy on another bike who was constantly in talking over a walkie (integrated in to the helmet) and guiding me.
It didn't take me long to decide that I have to go for it as ride quality was amazing: power, pickup, gear shift, slipper clutch, dual channel abs, a very refined engine (as expected from Honda) and above all no vibrations.
I have owned it for 1.5 years and rode 3550 kms. No issues, whatsoever. It's a head turner on the road.
One suggestion: A slightly low seat would have definitely added to comfort and visual appeal.

About the Reviewer

I bought the bike (Beast) in July 2023. It is not yet 1 year of age. Have rode 17k kms. I loved every ride from the bottom of my heart. Such a smoothness and elegance while driving it. I have driven it from Coimbatore to Goa twice and to Rameshwaram once. Also from Coimbatore to Palakkad twice in a week to see my family. I do not put tank cover. I wanted it to look like a beast to added Tank guard instead. for storage I added a STUDD box to the back right and the bumper, I designed and made a new model (Spider) with the help of Ambal Auto Work in Erode district.
I wanted my Beast to be at its best. So left it in service as soon as the spanner symbol blinks and it completed 3 services by 3rd March at 12,000 kms. So the next due was when it reached 18,000 kms or Spanner symbol.
But at 17,000km when I rode to near by district on a Saturday, I heard sound from the chain space whenever I reduce the speed. I was annoyed and wanted to take it service center as soon as I reach Coimbatore. On Monday, I was in Coimbatore, I started to Palakkad and going through Coimbatore City traffic, when all of a sudden the Chain jumped out of the back wheel sprocket. Initially, I didn't understand what happened as the sound was like some steel tin stuck under the bike. then i found chain was out of the sprocket but it didn't get cut. Thankfully I had RSA and my brother helped to send it to service center.
I was afraid what would have happened if I have taken the Palakkad highway and this happened? definitely I would have been here typing this. I was expecting some R&D and convincing points from the technical team. but unfortunately, this is being considered as physical damage and would not come under warranty as well.
even money doesn't matter much, I could not see any one talking about why the chain jumped out from the sprocket even if it loose. but noone is interested in that topic. So lost faith in Service team and I would not be interested to ride this Beast without any guarantee to my life with two kids waiting for me at my home as well. Soon will sale it and try to go from some other reliable one if one exists.

About the Reviewer

After riding many bikes now I have my perfect bike, it has the fun that I need. From its purchase to services, all are professional with politeness. It has a road presence in the crowd. Smooth performance with 35-40kmpl cruise. Pocket-friendly maintenance. Done so many long trips with Honda Hness CB350.

About the Reviewer

1. Buying experience was smooth, thought if buying the RS but had some soft spot for the H'ness as well.. Didnt wanna go for RE.. since the roads are pakced with RE and founf RE's clutch to be very hard.. Went for the H'ness since the pillion comfort was better than RS. And it did not disappointment me.
2. Riding experience is smooth AF, no vibrations even at 120.. very stable, havent faced any issues in the riding, but quick gear shifts is what disappointments me in city rides, but who gives a F.. as time goes on You get used to it. And its fun at the same time.
3. Retro (Anime bike) looks is what I would define this bike to be.. The RS cafe racer(extra 20k for the accesories) was what made me choose the RS more.. but since I went for the Hness,, the cafe racer look would be okayish, but no idea for the Maroon red..
4. Finished my 1st service, and KUN Honda Bingwing is a big plus in Chennai. Bought the 10k service package and gonna use it for the next 5 times.
5. Pro's - Riding, Comfort, Looks(secondary), 350cc Thumps and the Maroon red looks>
Cons: Gear shifting while riding in lower speeds, not much heavy but once u need to pull ur bike out from a pit then youre a goner, Colour fadking of the chrome silencer in the front part only ( looks cool tho ) depends upon the person..
Happy buying guys!

About the Reviewer

Great experience in everything, but during maintenance, they tell us to Change the Engine Oil in every service otherwise it will affect the Bike warranty (Don't know how much is true). For service cost for me, it was 2.5k for two services (1st service and 2nd service)
Pros:- Great Ride quality, easy to maneuver, great riding posture, pickup, and speed give the experience of both cruisers and sports bikes at the same time.
Cons:- Gearbox! Moving to 1st gear from 2nd it makes a noise like it got stuck in between
Don't trust the fuel Gauge otherwise, you have to push the bike and re-fuel in reserve. Learned with experience, and Lastly, the gears are too tall and have to switch to gear on the speed breaker.

About the Reviewer

The buying experience was good. I completed 1st service and it was good. Before I had RE Classic 350 for the past 7 years. Usually, I will go on long rides, Even Hness 350 I took a long ride after delivery it was a nice experience. Based on my experience H'ness has a more refined engine and is powerful. Comfort point is best in class. The mileage is also good, I got 40kmpl. I will update here about the mileage after 1st service. The road presence is good, especially the sound beat is very nice when riding in the city. Now only most people have come to know that Honda has this type of bike like Bullet. Because bullet name is strongly registered in people's mind from everywhere. Now Showrooms are increasing, I hope hereafter I can see more Hness on the village roads. Then Con's points will be reduced. I feel this is the best choice I have ever. I'm so much satisfied with my H'ness.

About the Reviewer

it was decided in the morning and the bike was at my doorstep in the evening. i love the bike once done with test drive
riding is upright and very comfortable, non stop ride 250 km and max range drove 770km in 14 hrs. very relax and performing engine
its a classical theme based bike and so justified with look and performance
maintenance cost is reasonable, started 2900/- and now its 3500/- at interval of 6000km
pros
performance, classical look, pick up, daily commuting. touring, believe me its simply awesome
cons
spoke wheel , headlight

About the Reviewer

I bought this bike last Diwali and from then I haven't encountered a single issue. Maintenance of this bike is very low and its reliability is amazing. It gives the best mileage and power at the same time. People say it's NOT A ROYAL ENFIELD but I have driven every 350cc RE no bike gave me such fun while riding. Looks like it's slightly on the lower point as compared to RE but I installed its company-fitted rear armrest and saddle bag holder which gave my bike the best look. I recommend anyone to equip the original company-fitted accessories for the harness because it gives you the best looks. Maintenance is very hassle-free. Anyway, this bike is overall perfect over choosing RE.
