I suggest you to wait for bullet 350 or any other bike. There are lots of major issue in this bike. I recently bought this after reading lots of reviews but many issues are no where mentioned. Mileage is also around 25 on the highway in e20 model.
@@TheKashishkhanna55 I don't know abt your scenario, but I personally feel the bike and honda reliability is top notch...abt the mileage Idk y your getting so low
I met few new highness user who bought it after e20 update. Most of them getting mileage like this. Also there is gear shifting minor issue majorly in case of cold start. I bought it on 11 July and drove only 170 km till now.
Your money your choice... But judging bikes without test riding them isn't a logical move...What you end up preferring after test riding them makes for a sensible decision.
honda highness is super refined bike..tall gear is notan issue but infact it is the behaviour of machine which u have to understand and act accordingly.
Slipper clutch is to prevent wheel hopping during aggressive down shifts, say you're shifting to 2nd at >60kmph. Slipper clutch in that case slips the clutch and prevents wheel hopping. Its a very good feature in ktms or high performance machines. Not so much in this bike though.
सर, मैं एक hness user हूँ आपके कहने के मुताबिक यदी हम पीछे बडा स्पोकेट लगाये तो बुलेट की तरह गियर की range बढकर बार बार गियर नही बदल नें पडेंगे और गाडी बुलेट की तरह हो चलेगी क्या?
please make a video showing top speed of each gear.( I mean you keep pushing the bike until you hear the bike struggle, and then you switch to next gear ) thank you
For 5th gear you have to maintain speed of 70km or more..in kolkata city condition (very over crowded traffic) u can easily ride in 4th gear /3rd gear with 40km / 30km....knocking issue I am not feel yet..
Minor changes in the throw of headlight (its DIY)and a good pair of auxiliary lamps can solve the issues, i personally installed mad dog lights , which serve the purpose 👍Happy riding
Advice me please, could you safely say that this bike is cumbersome in traffic, but good for the highway in respect to the tall gearing ? Also this bike is not safe to drive in dark conditions, without accessories
No it’s not cumbersome to ride in traffic..as mentioned in the video..the clutch is very smooth…and yes it is good for highway riding with the 5th gear being the cruise gear…plus without aux lights..it might pose as a risk on the highways with no enough lighting and demarcations..
I got the e20 variant last week. Mileage in city is 30-31 and on highway is 35+ kmpl. I am using normal petrol. Jab e20 petrol dalenge tab milegi 25+ kmpl but e20 petrol will be very cheap like 60-70 RS per litre, therefore saste petrol ke hisab se to 40+ mileage niklegi e20 pe, itna smooth engine hai ekdum top notch, zabardast pickup, almost no vibrations, aur gearing ka koi issue nahi hai, hame normal bikes ki short gearing ki aadat hai, mene 600+ km ki non stop ride Kari hai, kisi ko aage nahi nikalne dia hness ne. Chahe gaadi ho ya bike. Aur wobbling ki koi dikkat nahi hai, ye chiz to har bike me milegi jab piche saman load kar do aur haath chhod ke chalao, it's basic physics. Bike handle bar pakad ke chalane ke liye hai na ki chhod ke. Bas ek dikkat hai, headlight has very low throw, so I have installed mad dog aux lights. Mad dog aux lights me wiring cut nahi karni padti, so no warranty issue. Aux lights pe cover laagao during the day.
@@AkshayPankhade5th gear is just a cruise gear Bhai, it will take forever to reach 120, 110 Tak 4th me leke jao fir 5th laga lo for smooth sailing. For high mileage put into 5th on 70kph, for high torque use 4th gear upto 90kph
I am also interested in h'ness , but as it sold through premium showroom Big Wing ,which is not in many numbers in India beacuse of this i am holding the purchase ,concerning after sale service, nearest Big Wing showroom is 130 km away from my home..Honda should increase their big wing chain..
Max speed to go at each gear: 1st gear : 15-20 km/hr, 2nd gear: 35-40 km/hr , 3rd gear: 60 km/hr, 4th gear: 90+ Km/hr, 5th gear: cruise mode : 70+ . It can go upto 120-125 speed at 4th gear but avoid doing high speed for safety and fuel economy
I'm having a lot of trouble with gearing. Especially with shifting from 1st to 2nd. It tends to go back to neutral when changing from 1 to 2. It also gives a lot of sound when changing the gear from neutral to 1st at the time of starting the bike😢😢
Yes I do agree with you the shifting from N to 1 gives a loud sound...but I don't think it is point to be worried about, plus the bike going back to Neutral from 2nd, this is yet to happen with me. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Yes these are stock split seats..they are comfortable as far as cushioning is concerned but due to the tapered shape of the rider seat..I tend to slip forward..
Bhai is bike me Aisa nahi hoga City me 1st gear se 2nd pe mai 15 kph ki speed pe shift karta hu aur 25 ki speed pe 3rd gear pe, fir 45 ki speed pe 4th me aur 60tak 4th me chala sakte ho for good mileage aise chahoge to city me 30+ ka mileage degi wo bhi normal petrol pe hi. Aur agar khoob bhaga bhaga ke maze leke chalani hai to 1st gear me jaegi 45 kph, fir 2nd me jaegi 70kph, fir 3rd me jaegi, 90kph, fir 4th me jaegi 120 kph, fir 5th me kar sakte hai cruise Jo le jaega ise dheere dheere 130kph Tak bhi. Aise high rpm drive karne me maza aaega par fir mileage aaegi City me 26-27 aur highway pe 30-32. Aram se chalaoge to highway PE easily nikalke degi 35+. Drive safely and responsibly, always wear helmet and other riding gear. And stay within the speed limits.
bro I've heard that the paid services are ridiculously high. is that the case ? this high maintenance cost is the only thing that's keeping me from buying this bike
I am yet to go for the paid service..2 free services are still left...from what I have heard the paid service will go upto 4k Rs. per service..given that it is a premium offering from BigWing..they will charge good money...
Spare parts are fairly priced. Labour charge is the main issue. Basic service charge is 1100 + 18% GST. In addition a separate labour charge for each spare part changed.
Important points covered...yhanks... but now am even more confused...lets see what the British kids feel like, once available for the jantaa...else the RS350 is the plan B...

From what i observed when i rode this bike
1st gear 40kmph
2nd gear 70kmph
3rd gear 90kmph
4th gear 120kmph
5th gear just nothing but cruise
This is not correct. Remove 30 kmph from each gear
Thanks for the info 👍🏻
@@AkshayPankhade I mean the maximum the gears can reach then u shift your gear to next one

Agreed.
Mine too has a very loud sound while shifting gears.
Especially in the case of a cold start.
It's very irritating
@@suyogyande nope.
Bro shuru me high rpm hota hai warm up ke liye, isliye sound aata hai, don't worry, kuch ni hoga.
iam from kerala solution for this is to change front sprocket to 13 t i have done it getting 32 nm of torque instead of 30 nm
Great sir. From where I can get this sprocket? Are u using any specific bike front sprocket. If it is just swap and ride please suggest .

Yes these are stock split seats..they are comfortable as far as cushioning is concerned but due to the tapered shape of the rider seat..I tend to slip forward..
Howdy! Any solution for the Gearing.
Hey..I don’t see it as problem to solve for..but if you want to solve it then may be put a bigger sprocket in the front..
