  • Hello,
    This motorcycle has been around for a while and it has been reviewed 1000s of times already but we decided to have a go on it to see why this Honda has not lived up to sales potential or expectations. Hope you enjoy watching this video. Cheers!

    I think I’m one of the few who have shifted from RE to CB350 and it’s been an amazing journey so far. It has fixed all issues that RE had and it offered me something that RE could not have, Reliability and refinement. Also the engineers who work on my bike are very knowledgeable they are good at accurately assessing. Yes it’s not designed for low end but mid and top are pure joy. I honestly feel customers need to demand more from RE, I feel like honda made this bike just to show RE how it’s done. Some how Honda feels more trustworthy 😅. I absolutely love your videos and it was very interesting to see what you had to say about CB 350. Cheers 🍻

    This is my first bike, 10,000 km clocked on it and as you said, you can never go wrong with a Honda. Honestly speaking I am not a fan of the looks and sound of a RE Classic and bullet, never appealed to me. It feels slow, laid back and doesn't get your heart racing when you twist that throttle. The 350RS on the other hand appeals to a more Adrenaline seeking audience, gets me excited every time I hear that crackling and popping exhaust and the instant torque at the slightest twist of the throttle. It's more of a scrambler and retro mashup. As you rightly said, if you compare this with a RE classic, the Indian emotional connect with 'Dug Dug' can influence the buying decision for most people. But if anyone knows how much better Honda actually is, it's a no brainer decision. The bike was actually a huge hit in the Japanese market. It's called the GB350 there. The customization market is huge in Japan for this bike. This is honestly the best review so far, way better than the Enfield paid, biased auto journalists. Overdrive ahem ahem...... Will bring my bike in for service to your garage once the warranty service period is over. Cheers!

    There's always an 'if' and 'but' for every bike. It is more of an individual preference and taste. For example, I wanted a neatly refined and reliable 300-400 cc motorcycle with modern elements and yet retro. To buy my first bike ever, Royal enfield was a bit too common on the streets for me. I fumbled on the Honda CB 350 RS one day and went ahead and got it. I absolutely love the machine. It is sooo good. Excellent road presence and feels great to ride.

The weight of the motorcycle is really manageable. When you start rolling you won't feel the weight at all. I ride mainly in cities and on thing to keep in mind is that you frequent gear changes are sometimes required, but on highway this motorcycle shines. Fuel economy is also good, I get around 32-35kmpl in city and 35+ on highways.

    We Indians have been hardwired to think that only Royal Enfield is entitled to make long stroke singles. If Yamaha happened to launch the SR400 (which has a legacy of its own) in India, I'm sure it will get the same criticism like the CB350 (not from buyers, but from auto journalists). It is obvious that no one criticizes the Ninja 300 for being a parallel twin like the R3. And the Imperiale 400 is a good bike in its own right. It is always better to have options so that the bar is raised furthermore. If you need performance, it is already there in the form of CB300R. And we all know that a twin cylinder 300 can never be priced below 4 lakhs today.

      I think it’s more about the fact that Honda is a legacy manufacturer, and if they wanted to make a classic or a retro motorcycle, they could’ve taken something from their own history, instead they chose to compete with RE by trying to make something similar to that. Which is not necessary at all. Honda has a rich history of some amazing motorcycles, they are the ones that gave us the Unicorn, which was a revolution in chassis and suspension when it came. So maybe instead of trying to copy RE and fail to steal sales, they can actually make a Honda and automatically steal sales from RE. Just my two cents though. It’s still a very good motorcycle, and I’m pretty sure the customers who bought it are happy with it.

    I liked the sound of RE Bullet from childhood but when i started riding bikes i rode my cousin brothers RE classic many times and i didn't feel like what i had imagined. It was super heavy, vibrations all around, maneuvering was hectic in traffic conditions and once it got punctured on a hilly terrain and with no shops near by i had the most difficult day dragging it till the puncture wala. The bike was difficult to handle over the speed of 80km/hr.
    Now to the present i heard similar sound but with a different body and brand. I had a dream of owning a bike from childhood. Now that i am working man i was thinking of buying a dominar 400.But i dunno how i somehow went for a test ride of Scram400 on the other side was this bike the honda CB350 RS. I took the test ride of Scram, Dominar, Hunter, Meteor, and CB350 RS. Now i am a very happy owner of the latter. Sounds great, Mileage is great, maneuvering great, riding position is great for adults on a younger side, plus Honda is reliable than many other brands. It's 178 kgs but feels nimble as the weight distribution is awesome. It looks so gentle but also is an eye turner and classy. Its an allrounder beauty - Touring, drag race, crusing, sailing and also off roading ti some extend!
    The only cons are :
    Mud splashes due to short fenders
    The horns are useless in highway
    So is the headlight, and yes the long stroke feels akward at first but after sometime when you get its hang youll be more than fine as it has slipper clutch which makes this problem a very small one. I brought this about 2months back when all the Hype was about the Triumph SPEED. BELIVE ME I AM VERY DELIGHTED WITH MY DECISION.
    To all of you who are confused just take a test ride of all your fav bikes. You will instantly get connected with which you shall ride in future.
    NOTE:IF you think im bluffing u can check my page. Cheers hope this helps you on your journey to owning your ride❤🎉

    Absolutely love my Hness CB350 but you rightly said that Honda should have made an engine with it's own character. Big problem is the wobbling issue won't go. Started at around 7000 kms and now I'm at 20000+ kms and I've learnt to live with it. Big Wing Pune service has been very helpful and supportive but issue remains. Some have found switching out the stock MRF tyres to a different brand helps but it's very difficult to get the same front & rear tyres due to the weird tyre spec combination of front & rear. Front size is like a scrambler or adv tourer so all knobby tyres are available and rear size is your regular classic bike size so mostly street tyres are available. You can get away with fitting tyres from different manufacturers and there are a few options to either go both wheels knobby or street tyres but I have been advised to find the same tyre due to the extent of my bikes wobbling issue. Also I find the braking balance between front & rear a bit weird when it's not a similar tyre. Since October 2023 I've been trying to hunt for such tyres but with no luck. Only stock MRF are available but they seem to cause the wobbling issue after a few thousand kms. Reise moto is coming up with tyres in this size which I've ordered through my local dealer since December but they still haven't delivered them. Every week they say they will deliver next week but they don't. I hope this issue gets solved as I love my bike but I'm fed up. I keep thinking of selling it but the good service people and my love for the bike stops me everytime. Triumph scrambler 400X is pulling me hard but I keep on resisting it as I won't give up on my bike unless I've exhausted all options.

    Great discussion valid points, but the RE comparison is subjective, as a owner of the CB for the past 2 years, it's an amazing all round back with less credit given to the handling and the off road capability.
    Very well summed up, the juxtaposition of the CB350 RS is what makes it unique.

It's great on the open road & superb off road.

    Hi sir, it was great that to see you sharing your opinion about CB350RS. I rode this bike 7k + kms in last 7 months. First of all as you said the bottom end is ok ok, but once you get to know the strength it doesnt bother at all. Still havent faced wobbling issues at higher speed, as only rode 2 times at 140kmph😅

Only think matches with re is that "350" name rest engine is far superior, gearing style is different, traction control, better brakes/tyres, slipper clutch, better mileage. So how is that they tried to make it RE ? Or is it that only RE is allowed on 350 segment ?

  • @roshansvideos

    It's interesting how Royal Enfield, when they recaptured the Indian market, chose not to ape the Harley which is an icon in the long stroke market. They brought the twins but had a 650 engine, and capitalised in the gap between the RE 350 cc and the Harley's 750 cc engines. It is not just a success story of staying in the market with confidence and improving their product line, but also what type of products to make and how they should be positioned. Kudos to the team!
