I've been watching your tech reviews for 5 years now but mannn!! I'm loving this side of Ranjit so much. These are one of my favourite vlogs! Keep it up !
Not only this bike, it's recommended in every bike to get the chain lubed for every 500kms, in rainy seasons even at 300 to 400kms because the chain is prone to rusting without maintenance.
Hello sir. RE renders image of every bike with single seat, even if you go through the pictures of Classic 350 they will mostly advertise it with single seater. FYou can install pillion seat as well, that is standard with every bike. Don't worry about that. You can have that on your list as well if you are really liking it.
I think you might wanna hang on this a bit more. Maybe have a bit more fun. I think you should redline it more often. Take it touring and try the twisties. Seems too early to upgrade don't you think?
Hello Sir, one of the reasons the RE Interceptor is affordable is because it makes power like a 400-500cc bike. While the Trident and others in the category make almost double,i.e., about 80 to 90 bhp when compared to Interceptor's 47 bhp. At around 5L budget and you being a sedate rider, I think the RE 650s is the best option. Thankyou. Happy riding😄
CB350 is really well thought of and highly engineered bike . It is exceptionally light like 100 cc and heavy when needed practically . Best power bike in bumper to bumper traffic and highway king
It's not affordable because it makes less power. What kind of reasoning is that? Lol. It's cheaper in India because it's made in India (tax exemption) and costs double the price in other countries. And why would you compare trident with interceptor? It's a modern triple cylinder engine with high compression ratio and liquid cooling unlike RE's air-cooled relaxed engine. If anything, compare it to kawasaki w800. RE most probably wanted to target the a2 licence holders in europe(new riders and below 24 year olds) which may explain conservative compression ratio of the engine.
With some mods, the int 650 can give those triumphs a run for their money. Search S&S camshaft for 650 twins. That, and a ecu remap and you have a triumph killer
Interceptor is an excellent choice.. can’t go wrong with any aspect of that bike. It’s not perfect at anything but it’s very good at everything!! Jack of all trades!
I'll recommend to rev engine little bit more before shifting to 4. I prefer to shift post 80km/h. Reason for this that CB350 is very tall geared bike. You can check rear sprocket teeth, it is 35, way lower than other bikes (more than 42teeth). thus you need to shift gears little later than other bikes.
Hi Ranjit, let me know about the suspension tuning we can keep on Hness. I am riding Hness for a year now, I kept the suspension tuning to 1 step. I feel good suspension now. What is your suggestion?
No luck the service guy told... it's already set to the softest position and I just find it too hard for the pillion. If I ride it alone it's fine but it's bad for pillion.
@@GeekyRanjitRidesVlogs If the suspension is bottoming out with the pillion, it means it is too soft. In that case adding some stiffness should help But if it is harsh otherwise, then not much can be done
Hello Ranjit sir, it is clear that KTM sitting position is not suiting you. I would suggest you to try bajaj dominar 400. It is a beast at that price point and maybe it will suit you better in terms of acceleration and torque. I have done may long trips on that bike and the experience has been amazing.
Usually i shift to 5th gear after reaching 80kmph in my H'ness . After installing "BMC airfilter" it changed to 100kmph so almost no use of 5th gear in the city rides unless the road is empty
Here is the bike list I made for you according to what you said and think that you maybe comfortable with: 1. Honda CB 400 2. BENELLI TRK 251 3. Evolet hawk electric 4. Honda CB500R 5. Suzuki V storm 400 and 250 6. Bajaj Dominar 400 7. Ather 450X 8. Komaki TN95
sir, you can consider Dominar 400 itself, it is a slightly detuned version of duke 390, it has 40 ps of power which you may consider adequate for you. Have a test ride and see if it fits. It's also within your budget.
In dusty conditions like we have in our country, one should clean and lube the chain every 500 kilometers. You should get the chain cleaner and lubricant kit so that you can do it yourself very easily.
Chain cleaning and lubrication can be easily done at home.. No need to visit service center. They come in separate spray cans costing about 900-1000/- for 500ml cans.
Found this channel today, Have been a subscriber of your main channel since 2014. Great content as always. Much love. Can we get a review of the riding gear that you use?
I really feel you should ride the triumph trident 660. It's one hell of a bike. Also some videos and review are there from a channel called Anurag Salagaonkar. It will definitely provide you the pull you need with proper siting unlike a super bike
@@GeekyRanjitRidesVlogs yes understandable.. Do test ride Honda cb300r, BMW g310r and ninja 300.. Going by the fact that you got bored of highness power in 2.5 months.. You might want to think of trident etc class bikes more too 😅
No need to have chain lubing as the new chains are sealed with lube and any external lubing will not do any better. It will just remain on the outside and eventually get off from the chain surface due to centrifugal force. Then you will have a nice metal to metal contact between chain sprocket and chain and it's okay. For more information see the video on this fron Fortnine channel on youtube.
You should definitely post the look of the bike after the mirror update. Just want to know if the retro look goes along well with the rectangular mirrors
A new triumph would be a pretty expensive but a bike from the second hand market might fit your bill. You'll have to check exactly what is available where but I've seen a few triumphs available on droom for what is a significantly lower price than what it's sold at even if it has a less than 10k kms on it. Just a suggestion thought cause in the end a new bike is a new bike.
Hello Greekyranjit i felt u wer gem in mobile stream but after seeing ua bike video with CB350 RS I really feel that u have the same sense of what this generation have 🎉❤️😘
Best bike hands down would be Triumph Street Twin for your preference. Budget is a bit high but for the power, this is a beast. If you are preferring towards a naked one, you may go for the KTM 790 duke.
8 lakhs plus for a 60hp bike is too much over priced.That's why RE is a much sweeter deal..at almost 3 times lesser price you are getting almost everything with a slight 13hp reduction in power. NB: I am talking about street twin.
If you are looking for comfortable seats on a naked.. You can try looking at BMW G310R.. It is fun to drive.. Comfortable to sit for the rider as well as the pillion.. Good power.. But seems to get a it of vibrations at speeds closer and above 100.. Apart from that, good bike to have.. PS. Loved the vlog as always
Please do a upcoming bikes in india video. Waiting for bajaj x triumph bike and the xsr 155. Iam saving to buy a bike in the coming months. Iam thinking of cb350rs and scram 411 for now. I also want to wait for bajaj x triu scrambler.
Hi Ranjit I saw that you are using Mobile holder. I also using since last week. Used it for 2 days continuously and on third day while taking photos came to know that it shaking a lot. Because if you use iPhone or any other phone which has OIS then sensor got damaged and I have replaced the camera through apple service center. Now I stopped using and took a 2nd hand without OIS phone. Are you facing this kind of issues? 2- Which tank bag are u using? Awaiting your comment …
Just try speed petrol in cb350 ! The engine is much more refined and easily pulls in 5th gear also 350-400ccs are sweet spot like Oneplus Nord / IPhone regulars The 600+ categories is not that great for city conditions the weight, the heat management, the maintenance everything goes up !
Can you please review jawa 42 2.1/ jawa perak I Just wanna know about ground clearance, I have seen so much video's about jawa bike, my only concern is ground clearance
Go for triumph Bonneville speed twin or Street twin and accessorize according to u r taste oh those two are gem of a machines in terms of looks power every thing Note: speed twin is damn hot🔥🔥😻 but if u want less power than go for street twin nd customize it instead of putting more bucks to speed twin
haha... he specifically said that he no longer prefers a cruiser. So Bonneville was and not is an option now. Although, I can vouch for Triumph street twin. It's a beast in it's league!
8 lakhs plus for a 60hp bike is too much over prices.That's why RE is a much sweeter deal..at almost 3 times lesser price you are getting almost everything with a slight 13hp reduction in power. NB: I am talking about street twin.
You can also consider the RE Continental GT 650 model, which is also a great option and well in your budget. Seeing your needs and as you're not into too many long rides and stuff with the bike, the RE models will be the best. You can even consider the BMW bikes (sub liter class).
In 280 rupees, I get 1 litre of Bosch or motul gear oil from Amazon and lube chain of my both bikes for almost 5 to 6 month's.... It's work even better than chain spray lubes. Using h'ness cb350 and Ns200
Riding posture is very comfortable to me, Have you started riding after a long time... in that case after 10-15 of regular driving you would get used to the same. I suggest doing small rides initially about 20-25 kms if you haven't been driving a bike for a long time. The seat feels a bit stiff initially but after 1500 kms I think it became a bit better, early after 40 odd kms of driving continuously used to feel a bit uncomfortable with the seats.
Sir.. Yesterday I bought Honda Highness Deluxe pro, bike is very nice as you share to your video, but after reached at home from show room I suddenly see that there is engine oil Leake.. Please suggest me what to do now, is it possible to replace the bike to another new one? The distance between show room and my residence is almost 90km.
That's very unfortunate, get the bike checked and ask they what was the case, I haven't noticed any engine oil leaks till now on the bike it will be almost 3 months since I have purchased the same.
Sir, why not try the ninja 300 have heard it's a good tourer with around 40bhp power and no crazy acceleration like the KTMs plus it has a 17litre fuel tank.
I've been watching your tech reviews for 5 years now but mannn!! I'm loving this side of Ranjit so much. These are one of my favourite vlogs! Keep it up !

Correct. That's the case with all the open chain bikes.

Its a classic cruisers segment where as trident is like different so power figures will vary
it is very heavy honestly, I wished to buy the interceptor! Hard to move around in bangalore traffic! I am not an experienced rider though...

The Sunny->carving kinetic honda->riding other's bike->ditchbike-> 40th buy bike story is extremely relatable.
Interceptor is an excellent choice.. can’t go wrong with any aspect of that bike. It’s not perfect at anything but it’s very good at everything!! Jack of all trades!
Loved the story part, amazing vlog Ranjit sir
Thanks glad you liked it and didn't get bored :)
Lubing frequency of the chain depends on the conditions around you. If you live in very dusty area you may need to do in 300km.
I'll recommend to rev engine little bit more before shifting to 4. I prefer to shift post 80km/h. Reason for this that CB350 is very tall geared bike. You can check rear sprocket teeth, it is 35, way lower than other bikes (more than 42teeth). thus you need to shift gears little later than other bikes.
Then mileage will be less ryt?
Even for my Apache RR 310, the chain lubing interval is every 500 kms. I think that is standard for lot of bikes.
I still own a 2003 cbz. Runs as good as new. Amazing ride
It's the chain lube that made u feel the bike so smooth
Hi Ranjit, let me know about the suspension tuning we can keep on Hness. I am riding Hness for a year now, I kept the suspension tuning to 1 step. I feel good suspension now. What is your suggestion?

@@GeekyRanjitRidesVlogs request you to put all the riding gears/equipments used.
Want to know which gloves are those
Rx 100 is always in our hearts!!
You might like the posture of the R.E Himalayan. It's upright position and doesn't bother your back for long drive. Please try it once.
Finally the mirror is changed

Cheap bike
That bike looks ugly af. Idk about the performance but looks too matters
I have been watching your tech videos and a great fan. Now you are awesome even in bikes... By the way beautiful bike...
I was 5/6 yo, when I saw the kinetic Honda. It was so cute. I really liked stand in front of that scooter, my uncle used to ride.
I think RE continental GT 650 is very good option too.
Even ranjit sir is afraid of wife 😂
Usually i shift to 5th gear after reaching 80kmph in my H'ness . After installing "BMC airfilter" it changed to 100kmph so almost no use of 5th gear in the city rides unless the road is empty

We have a H'ness CB350. The mirrors look good to me, I am able to see clearly behind. Again, depends on person.
Not really depends on the person. Maybe the setup and maybe height comes into play. Still I think some mirrors are good and some are just not
@@venukrithish007 Yeah right. But it's true that I still find them comfortable
Not for those who ride with Riding Jackets !
It offer good visibility but can be slightly better
if you are ok with the seat hieghts of ADV you should go for those they are the best all rounders specifically for indian road conditions
Please post a video about the mileage king platina
In dusty conditions like we have in our country, one should clean and lube the chain every 500 kilometers. You should get the chain cleaner and lubricant kit so that you can do it yourself very easily.
I think you should go for RE meteor 650 which is going to be launched this year. That will give you a good touring experience.
Chain cleaning and lubrication can be easily done at home.. No need to visit service center. They come in separate spray cans costing about 900-1000/- for 500ml cans.
Found this channel today, Have been a subscriber of your main channel since 2014. Great content as always. Much love. Can we get a review of the riding gear that you use?
You can consider
Kawasaki z650, Ninja 650, vulcan s, versys 650, z650rs
Benelli trk 502x, 502c, leoncino 500
Honda cb500x
CFmoto 650gt, 650mt, 650nk

Ranjit, after this video went live I wonder whats your wife has to say 🤣. Best of luck !!!
You can try for Honda cb300r or ktm 390. Do give these bikes a try and get a feel of the power they offer..
I tried KTM it's super uncomfortable seating position for me.
@@GeekyRanjitRidesVlogs yes understandable.. Do test ride Honda cb300r, BMW g310r and ninja 300..
Going by the fact that you got bored of highness power in 2.5 months.. You might want to think of trident etc class bikes more too 😅
These mirrors remind me of my rather's Honda CD100 🤩
Rather?🤨
Finally upgraded & RX100 is simply a very special one

Ktm 490 series with twin cylinder is going to launch, do try that
KTM and seating posting wont work for me... drove that KTM 250 for 15-20 mins and had slight back ache issues.
Now we can also see the rear view from that mirror 😜Sir
Wait for BSA.. I know it's nt certain when will it launch.. Bt indeed it'll.
You should definitely post the look of the bike after the mirror update. Just want to know if the retro look goes along well with the rectangular mirrors
You should get an RE nothing beats RE in India.
For comfort you can go for gs310 or 310r, and if you have money, trident 660, kawasaki z650...
10:17 honest confession 🤣

Because if you use iPhone or any other phone which has OIS then sensor got damaged and I have replaced the camera through apple service center.
Now I stopped using and took a 2nd hand without OIS phone.
Are you facing this kind of issues?
2- Which tank bag are u using?
Awaiting your comment …
ECU update can't change the gearing. It could have updated the fueling map of the motorcycle. Hence the smoothness.
Just try speed petrol in cb350 !
The engine is much more refined and easily pulls in 5th gear also
350-400ccs are sweet spot like Oneplus Nord / IPhone regulars
The 600+ categories is not that great for city conditions the weight, the heat management, the maintenance everything goes up !
You should also consider the re continental. Have seen its dual seat variants too.
If you like Interceptor you can also check Kawasaki RS 650.
Can someone tell me more about the ECU update? I have a H'ness too but they haven't intimated me about this
Just go to the service center they will do the ECU update for free, or next time you go for servicing they will do the ECU update automatically.
@@GeekyRanjitRidesVlogs thanks for the reply sir. Is it important to do immediately or can I wait?
It's not super important, it's basically engine remapping update for high altitude areas, where the Honda CB 350 engine was having issues.
Do a sprocket change that will lower the low down acceleration and push it in the mid range
Can you please review jawa 42 2.1/ jawa perak I Just wanna know about ground clearance, I have seen so much video's about jawa bike, my only concern is ground clearance
Ground clearance is a issue on that bike, with 2 you would touch every speed breaker on the road.
Go for triumph Bonneville speed twin or Street twin and accessorize according to u r taste oh those two are gem of a machines in terms of looks power every thing
Note: speed twin is damn hot🔥🔥😻 but if u want less power than go for street twin nd customize it instead of putting more bucks to speed twin

Bonneville is the worst bike to spend 10 lakh rupees on
You can upgrade to Honda CBR650F that is preety decent 650 cc bike but too expensive over 7lakhs if I'm not wrong
You can also consider the RE Continental GT 650 model, which is also a great option and well in your budget. Seeing your needs and as you're not into too many long rides and stuff with the bike, the RE models will be the best. You can even consider the BMW bikes (sub liter class).
Ese hi stories batao sir video mai achha lagta hai. Btw which mobile mount you using and please share is it good or not. Thank you 🙏♥️
In 280 rupees,
I get 1 litre of Bosch or motul gear oil from Amazon and lube chain of my both bikes for almost 5 to 6 month's....
It's work even better than chain spray lubes. Using h'ness cb350 and Ns200
What oils is that ?
sir where you have got the avenger mirrors for hness in hyderabad ?
Because of chain lube your noticed that change
Triumph Trident 660 will be a perfect bike for you.
Hi, how is the riding posture of highness.. Because I have little low back pain.. Can this bike suit for me?
Riding posture is very comfortable to me, Have you started riding after a long time... in that case after 10-15 of regular driving you would get used to the same. I suggest doing small rides initially about 20-25 kms if you haven't been driving a bike for a long time.

That's very unfortunate, get the bike checked and ask they what was the case, I haven't noticed any engine oil leaks till now on the bike it will be almost 3 months since I have purchased the same.
You could try the Kawasaki Z650, maybe a test ride vlog
Sir also try to ride Continental GT same as Intersceptor
Please make video regarding the helmet setup and mic setup
CB350 is very easy to ride.. try borrowing someone's interceptor for a week or so to make sure you feel equally comfortable with it..
I have RX 100 now also.
Recommend beneli trk 502 approx 5lakh
Sir, why not try the ninja 300 have heard it's a good tourer with around 40bhp power and no crazy acceleration like the KTMs plus it has a 17litre fuel tank.
Ranjith sir pls give me some info about pillion comfort riding with a pillion after making the suspension softer...was it ok
Ranjit, my budget is ok to till 3.5, would you recommend highness or interceptor?
Please do a long term review of RE metor as well... Like u doing with dis Hness
What do you think a upgrade for RX100 rider?
RX 100 legendary bike. hard to believe it's a 100cc only.
Enjoying your vlogs. Nice story, except it was a hero honda cbz, not honda cbz😁
Checkout Triumph street twin.. it's a bit expensive, but it's worth every rupee..
Wait for Meteor 500 or Super 500 from RE.. 500cc bike is coming from RE.. not SG650
@GeekyRanjit You could look into BMW GS 310. That's a very capable ADV tourer with excellent suspension travel.
Sir we want the review of bmw 330i msport and share your enthusiasm towards car
If you require power, then Triumph bonneville would be ideal, 1100 cc, it is light
try out the kawasaki z650 and in general the 650cc range of kawasaki like ninja and versys
Plz review jawa 42 2.1 bs6
Kawasaki Z650RS is a nice bike too.
If you can find Harley Davidson, try them... They are gems....
Sirji
Consider Kawasaki Z650 rs
I think you should try ducati scrambler.
