Host and the video team has done a phenomenal job for making such a seat grabbing video. And the host's personality and speaking skill is very much awesome 👍👍 Keep it up team 🎉
Test ride both....and in all honesty what you’ll feel is .....Honda is Honda👌🏻
Which one u will suggest forr better back suspension metour or Highness
Very unique idea to show the sitting posture in those bikes and as usual very good detailed comparison video.
Brain says HIGHNESS....
Heart says METEOR...
Mera bhi bhai
True....
Exactly
METEOR Book kar do
Uniqueness ke liye jao, book CB 350 .. Its head turner unlike common RE bikes
Sir your detailed presentation of every video is super outstanding. Just loved all the way watching it. Continue your good work .
RE sells on emotions whilst Honda sells on reliability & trust!
Have you ever heard about RE 650?...
And you need to understand one thing the word retro itself represent the past emotions and yes RE succeeded in keeping that emotion in thier bikes and yes thier bike has reliability issues in the past and i agree being reliable is a postive point but if that reliability can take away that emotion which needed in this kind of bikes then RE will also be like that failed bikes like Jawa and impereale
@@Nadheem721 my comment is based on the experience of RE's in my family for last 40 years.
I don't call Jawa or Empiralle as successful bikes.
They don't have that huge bandwidth of providing customer service almost everywhere in India like RE does.
They failed for other reasons too.
At the same time you would hardly find a person who'd say RE's customer care service, body parts quality etc is better than Honda.
Till 2019 RE kept on selling the best selling classic with that outdated meter console.
And RE lovers kept saying, "This is the charm of RE Classic."
Glad they have decided to move on finally and updating in the recently launched and upcoming bikes.
@@yatishbajpai8478as a classic 350 bs4 owner i can agree that services centers are the worst .. but i have no problem with that most of the trouble shooting in bike is done by me and for me repairing my own bike also an emotion and if anything extreme happen i would visit a mechanic near me who is a expert especially in enfield but there isn't such thing happened till now ... servicing part is a different story...... and talking about parts quality i think RE is the only brand which is having a history of using all metal parts in this segment while others use plastics i think honda highness is new to the table and only time can prove how much quality does it has..😉
@@Nadheem721 don't even start talking about the parts quality of RE.😑😑
My classic's footrest came off while i was riding the bike in the middle of a busy highway. Fortunately the speed was in mid 30's but it still was a narrow escape.
They didn't even frown when i went to the showroom & told them about it. Just changed it for 800 something rupees and behaved like nothing happened.
Pathetic!!!
Nothing can bring back my trust & confidence on my bike, i don't ever exceed 60 kmph now.
I'm glad you can troubleshoot & repair yours by yourself, saves you a lot of money & you know your bike much better that way...that's really good!😊
@@yatishbajpai8478 what you mean footrest came off ...you mean by rusting?.... iam not talking about how good enfield quality is or anything like that .... you need to understand one thing there are pro and cons in any material ....example just take a look at the alloy vs steel wheel ...in comparison to steel alloys are light weight and rust proof and people says alloys serve better build quality than steel wheel but people don't understand there is a con for alloys and that con is a pro for steel wheels means its not flexible as steel wheels and also in my personal opinion steel wheels preserve that retro look better than alloys.... meanwhile if you own an enfield it need proper cleaning and care
CB350 owner here. Done around 1300 kms now and no complaints so far. Superb performance and after sales service is just next level. No doubt Meteor is a big step up for RE but I think it's good for touring not for city rides because it weighs 10 kg more than the cb350 and the handling is not that nimbal as there with the CB350. Go where your heart follows. Cheers 👍
Most sensible verdict 👍
I have to agree your word as an RE fan👍
Any way iam waiting for upcoming classic 350... njoy ur ride bro✌
True
@@Nadheem721 still not as good as cb lol. It will have the same engine and my friend's meteor already facing rust issues.
@@PK-lo6ws rust issues are being faced by CB owners as well, unfortunately!!!😒
My choice will be HONDA H'NESS. Looks great and is backed by HONDA.
Double act segment in this video is superb. Well executed. 👍👍👍
A very decent and balanced, review. I would go with Honda because most of my riding is in busy city traffic. Occasionally I go on long trips, for which it will be great. Had RE Meteor not been a pure cruiser bike, I would have switched sides!
Purchased CB 350 Dlx Pro👍...Excellent review bro
Agree it’s very difficult to choose one from this. After multiple test drive of both bikes I’ve decided to go with Meteor because of its gear ratio (slow speed), comfort n it’s service network👍
its simple choose honda... RE is much way inferior in comparison to honda highness
@@dharmendragusain5572 Finally decided to go with Classic 350 because of comfort, gear ratio n overall looks. Honda is also good but didn’t like horn placement, gear shifter, mud flap n tall gear. Thanks 👍
Yes absolutely ❤️❤️😍😍
i liked the way u compared both bikes and i got the good insights from your video.. decision making mein help ho gayi
Very very good review outstanding as always GEARFLIQ 👍👍👍
Please give us english subtitles.Greetings from Europe! We are waiting for CB350...
Excellent Comparison ... You made decision smooth ... I will go for Honda
November sale.
Highness- 4000
Meteor- 8000
Classic 350- 40,000
Many people are not going for the CB350 because of their availability and serviceability issues ( only sold from the Big wing show rooms in metros )..once Honda sorts out this single issue, it will be game changer. The classic 350 beats both the Meteor and the CB in the price department and hence will always command the market..
@@raghunathk249 Classic 350 sale will be affected by Meteor not by highness. Meteor is as reliable as highness. Also meteor has better road presence than highness. If classic 350 comes with meteor engine then nothing can come close.
@@Indian-dr1xf well said bro
Meteor 8000 sold over 1300 showrooms all over India... CB350 sold 4000 from just around 5 showrooms all around India.. now that's a good comparo😂
@@Indian-dr1xf lmao you must be smoking weed highness has better over all build quality only RE chapris think meteor has a chance
Aap ne bahot hi acha bola special comparison me..super
Which is more suitable in terms of comfort + which to choose for daliy ride of 150 km too and fro..
How do u compare service/maintainence cost of both????
Honda is Honda ❤ reliability better then RE
Yes, we know it very well.....
But we Only go for RE 😎 🔥🔥
That Honda hype has gone long time ago. This meteor is as reliable as honda.
Only RE

Bhai service bekar hai
I own a cb350.....almost 1500 kms done....bike is awesome in looks as well as performance.....if you have a Bigwing showroom in about 100 kms radius....just go with Honda....u won’t regret ur decision 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Mumbai guys are lucky. We've two Honda Bigwings here.
Bruh m 6 ft 1 inch hws it for me ,I mean height
This is one of the best review and comparison between two rivals
@12:35 i used to run here, from that gurudwara nearby. Damn those memories. Coming kharghar next week.
Nice video 👍👍👍👍
Please check milege test of SP 125 and Unicorn...
Very clear explanation of all the specifications in the video. And I really like the camera angles for both the bikes.
Overall a very nice detailed video of comparison between these two beauties. 👍😇
Which is better for driving in the city & traffic?
I have purchased highness over meteor and I can say it has it's own charm and in no aspect meteor can over power it. All the negative talk is about it's limited availability but not on performance. #Honda❤️
How about long rides ?
@@kittupathak9930 Did 1200 kms on a 3-day road trip with my Meteor last month. 90% National highways and remaining was ghat section with some critical hairpins.
The bike didn't disappoint me in any way. After every 120-140 kms took a much needed tea break. No back pain ever. Indian highways (especially the concrete ones) do take a toll as road shocks are more than asphalt paving. But honestly, everything was smooth with the bike and me on its saddle. Average Fuel economy (full tank to low fuel warning light) was 41.13 kmpl, so Meteor is frugal even if ridden at 90-100 kmph in a smooth manner without sudden acceleration-deceleration cycles.
Now coming to Honda, it is equally capable. On long road trips, it has competent mechanicals to be a mile muncher. At the end of the day, either of the 2 are great companions. One cannot be wrong with the choice. Preference of seating posture varies from person to person and overall, it's the only practical deciding factor other than brand fascination.
I love your honest thoughts
Please make a separate video on both bikes maintenance cost & cost of ownership ......
Stiff suspension honda ka jyada hai. Meteor me softer suspension hai. Aapne shayad ulta bata diya. Aur seat bhi jitni stiff ho utni long distance riding ke liye acha hai.
Please help in deciding between xpulse and meteor stellar....
Priority is suspension and ride comfort in city
Highness 3 limitations
1 -- Big Wing Showroom
2 -- In place of Navigation voice control , they could have given it like meteor of nxt gen classic .
3-- Digital part is too small . It shows too much information and for that the digital part needs to be bigger for better readability.Like pulsar 150 or apache 160 2V digital part .
Honda had a great chance to rule 350 cc segment but just due to these things it blew it .
Meteor captured the market more due to enhancements and also due to these silly mistake things from Honda.
Honda should have sold H'ness from its normal dealerships.
Which bike I should to buy classic350 or meteor
Yes vibration is zero in highness. I am surprised with mileage of highness, it did 48 kms/ litre on my recent long ride.
Which bike is better for Offroad and Long route for mountains??
ohh bhai yehi to chahiya tha , comparison finally 🔥🔥
Can you please make a comparison between Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 vs Royal Enfield Meteor 350?
Well every bike is good but now a days royal Enfield is seen every next to house so i would like to do something different and buy highness cb 350
RE the lion which is majestic. Honda highness is the lioness with reliability. Though my brain says practicality. My heart says about emotion love and look. I go with RE.
Lame opinion 😆😆😆
things stupid and typical Blind RE Fankids say 🤣😂
Java 42 vs cb350 I need suggestions please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 and make some video on it live in Delhi and only for City riding please give suggestions
Amazing detailed information. Thank you so much. Loved it
Thank you!
Do share the video 🙂
True. No other bikes technology can beat Honda. After all it's Japanese ❤️
Awesome comparison video ..in detail
Where do I can find the showroom for big wing in Navi Mumbai..plz share the details. As I live in Taloja. Nearest to me. Planing for CB 350.
Always Honda because of it excellent refinement weight balance slipper clutch excellent design
I'm 32 yrs old, 6'2 and 82 Kgs, looking for a comfortable bike for light use (7-8 kms everyday within the city). I'll go on 400-500 km tours approx twice a year. I test rode meteor and hness. I loved meteor for it's looks and loved hness for it's comfort and confidence while riding. I have been riding honda stunner for 14 yrs now. I'm also considering himalayan, x440 and bullet but I haven't tried my hands on them. What would you suggest me to go for?
I just got my Hghness dlx pro dual tone matte black today, rode all the way from big wing kolkata showroom to my hometown durgapur. It is my 1st bike, most people said not to get 350cc engine at 1st and go for something small as the power and weight of these segments bikes are heavy for a new rider. But let me tell you....this engine from honda is just a perfection! I didn't felt any discomfort or lack of confidence and am hereby a proud owner!☮️
Kemon cholche hnes?
& the comprehension is "Honda is Honda".. refinement king🔥🔥..sadly their sales strategy is dump..selling only via bigwing..cant tackle RE with this kinda strategy 🙏
In automobiles industry as a journalist you are superb.
Thank you bhai !
From these two which is much comfortable for both rider and pilion passenger like on humps and bad roads.... Which is less jerky.... Need it for my father who is 55+ and sometimes my mom seats on the pilion...
Please do a mileage test for TVS apache RTR 200 4V in urban mode
Honda CB350 ...... Because I love Honda ..... And my first bike is Honda Unicorn 2006 .....

very good information ...thank you
I have meteor almost 6000km ,..... Great experiance
which model out of three?
Meter dikhaiyo
Fireball
I prefer with your choice, I also like the Honda Highness CB 350.
Average servicing cost कितना hai?
The worst thing is the less dealer network for Honda and due to the overall low sales of the bike chances are Honda may discontinue in the future after 2-3 years.
Glad Honda came up with this gem for guys like us who fed up with RE's reliability issues..
Best reviewer I have seen , i regret i didn't come across your videos before.
Subscribing.👌
Welcome aboard!
Extremely impressive review 👏
Bihar me bigwing ke agency nahi hain kaise le sakte hain. aur agency kabtak khulne ke chance hain
Very well explained.
Is this video shot in Kharghar area ?
Yes 🙂
Can tell anyone what about Resale value in market on this bikes Royal Enfield vs Honda ??
A well covered video shots with good amount of points covered in the review. I love Honda CB350 for City and build quality but if I see the Service Centers and parts availability coverage by Royal Enfield, is far better than Honda. No doubt Honda CB350 is a great bike, if you ask me, I would like to have these both of them. Meteor has a cruiser riding triangle and one is not expected to stand and ride, here need no comparison to CB350 as they are different completely. Again if you ask me strictly, thinking all factors and only one bike I have to chose, I will pick Royal Enfield Meteor as per today's factors.
#Gearfliq kya honda cb350 mein backrest retrofit karwa sakte hain?
Help me out plz - I live in Delhi. What should I choose as my first bike - Honda Hness or Meteor 350.
Maximum use will be for home to office traveling. In 2-3 months once I will visit out side for touring (UK / Himanchal/Rajsthan)
highness
Your information was very helpful
Good n beautiful review ❤️
Excellent review.
Is cb350 good for mountains and adventure??
Surely yes but controlled riding and pls fix engine protection metal at the bottom and it's not as versatile as RE Himalayan or some off- road bikes.
Very well presented but u missed v imp point that ... Honda highness is avilable only at big wings honda .. and not many of its mechnaics are trained to service it also every time u need to service ur bike or a general chk up one need to find particular dealer ... Vs RE has multiple service centers across the country .. My heart & brain both with RE meteor .. it's a sexy bike .. looks more man-ly
Thanks sir... I test drive both motorcycle... After that I go for cb 350... It is a great machine... No match with RE in any point like pickup speed comfort milage and nice looking also...
I am happy with my cb 350
Thanks..
we have so many fake videos related to upcoming bikes, can you please think over making a video on upcoming bikes in india with good future prospect? thanks in advance.
After a long waiting finally the video has beem out.
Excellent review
I would choose highness over meteor 😎
Love gearfliq 😇😇😇
Honda is honda no doubt because of its engine Refinement. Plan to buy cb350
Honda highness my point of view is better
Prestentation maturity and quality presentation is very better
Very informative video👍..
Great comparison and a very detailed one.
If I had moolah to spend on bike, would definitely go with Honda CB350. Refinement and Reliability are class apart when it comes to Honda. Also as mentioned correctly, cruiser has limited applicability whereas a street bike (CB350) is versatile.
But bro u might have seen the classic 350 as alrounder motorcycle any kind of road it just glides along
@@adarshdeepsingh961 Absolutely bro no second thoughts. Myself had owned Bullet 500 for quite long time but reliability of RE is always questionable. Will not speak about refinement coz RE owner never thinks about refinement, buying RE is emotional decision always and we bullet riders own it for the pure feel of it. Nonetheless we cannot deny the quality and refinement that Honda brings to the table.
@@mangeshtendulkar81 ya bro ihave both honda and re in my family but apart from all the corns re is not just a bike that u can live with it u have to manage all things after buying it from good mechanic to good spare parts shop but with honda u feel a bit disconnected with the bike the honda provides everything with the bike
But after 5-6 year the resale will go in favour of re with huge margines
Re is more refined because less noise and vibration and long age run re is durable, Honda will disappear after some years but royal Enfield still can find 1940 ,50, 70,90 models literally on road , Honda’s durability over others just a belief and imagination, my friend’s Honda is rusting 1 year only , it is I can see
@@Rightforrightright lol RE's refinement comes nowhere near close to Honda's refinement, RE in itself isnt bad but there's no comparison bween RE and Honda
I have a meteor and it's lovely.
I have interceptor 650
Whats the mileage u get and at what speed?
I have highness and it's fantastic
I booked Meteor
@@nandu6jan97 about 35km/pl
Can you give the onroad price for both bikes
is that rust on 3:41 ?
Thanks bhai, mai isi ko jaanna chah raha tha
Booked Highness easy to City ride and daily use.
Sir honda cb 150r exmotion ka review dekhna hay
Bhai it's not fair to compare both. HB350 is mainly for city ride but Meteor is for cruise. Isliye donon ka apna apna kaam karta hai.
Ye kis location pe shoot Kiya? City?
Traction control kya hai. Ni bataya !!
Each and every channel is forcibly promoting Honda CB350 over RE Meteor 350.
1. The biggest negative for CB 350 is the after sales service whereas RE has one of the best service networks in India.
2. CB 350 doesn't have any engine gaurd.
3. It's reliability is a concern in Indian roads as the Retro Tourer from Honda is yet to prove itself in Indian conditions. Here RE is the tried and tested one.
3. Honda is allowing the big wings only to sell this particular motorcycle whereas RE has everything under a single umbrella.
Well said Bose bhai.
Honda still has to prove itself but don’t forget meteor too comes with new engine and design changes. Trust me RE service sucks too, there mechanics are below average. First hand experience 😢😢
Sir
I need a suggestion
I m serving in defence and meteor 350 (Steller)is available through army canteen in 170000 whereas Honda CB 350 is not available in canteen.
For which one I should go for
Plz advise
Can my uncle buy it for me 😪 he is an armyman
Fuel pump cover chrome nahi silver colour plastic hai, in meteor
Re Bikes 90 percent sales above 300cc bikes. It’s an emotional factor. It’s a family factor.
Which one u will suggest forr better back suspension metour or Highness for city ride
Highness
@@GearFliQ thank you
I heard in cb 350 frequent gear change necessary
Honda cv53 customized ho sakta hai ki nahi

I'm a hardcore fan of RE.....I've already One ....another will also be from RE...
You have not tell about traction control driving with and without traction control
Thanks for the comparison
Sir,
I am 5'7" tall and 55 years old. I do have some experience with lighter motorbikes like Yamaha R15. And now I want to buy one of the mentioned bikes in your video. So considering all the above factors which bike would you recommend for me?
Honda highness
