Being a Mechanical engineer and a designer in automotive field, I have following observations. I was looking for a family bike for city rides mostly with a flat (horizontal seat), circular headlamp and retro-like + premium design (not like 100-150cc bikes). After exploring lot of bikes, I finalized three options to compare. 1. Honda H'ness 350 CC 2. Royal Enfield Hunter Rebel 350 CC 3. TVS Ronin 225 CC I test drove all 3 vehicles 2-3 times and following are my observations, 1. Honda H'ness 350 CC - *Pros* - Nice retro/classic look, Low end torque is good, Seating space for pillion rider is more than other two vehicles. *Cons* - Bulkier (Box size), Paint quality, Higher cost as compared to other two vehicles 2. Royal Enfield Hunter Rebel 350 CC - *Pros* - Beautiful Design/Styling/Look, Great color schemes, Turning radius is smaller than Ronin (Less space to turn the vehicle), Reasonable cost. *Cons* - The biggest issue (design flaw) is positioning of foot rest (pegs), just below the sitting position. This makes it difficult to keep your feet on ground while you are at signal or in slow moving traffic. Foot rest (pegs) keep touching your legs and is very uncomfortable. Another point is that seat on rear end tapers downward and seating space for pillion rider being less, pillion rider tend to move back and when you accelerate, pillion may feel like toppling/falling down at back side. So this is not safe and hence, back rest is MUST. Handle bar positioned in such a way that you need to keep your hands stretched straight all the times which is not a comfortable sitting posture. Low end torque/performance (2 & 3 gear) is sluggish due to bigger engine. (Not as good as smaller capacity bikes) 3. TVS Ronin 225 CC - *Pros* - Semi-retro look with circular headlamp, Driveability and Performance is superb. Handle bar position is very good for comfortable sitting posture with hands slightly bent in elbows. Very easy to handle in traffic. *Cons* - Very bad design/aesthetics of fuel tank (some odd shape), Color schemes are odd (not impressive), Turning radius is higher than Hunter (Needs larger space to turn the vehicle). Cost is on higher side for lower CC as compared to Hunter (mainly due to features). Overall, none of them is meeting my requirements (as mentioned above) and hence, I decided to wait for Kawasaki W175 or Yamaha XSR or Improved version of Royal Enfield Hunter. All the best!

How's the gearing in highness vs ronin ? due to tall gearing in highness you got to keep upshifting/downshifting frequently which is a big headache in city traffic though blessing on highway. I once tried apache rtr 200 which comes with gtt and has one of the smoothest gear system by Indian manufacturer, riding rtr 200 in city traffic was such stressfree as I didnt had to wrestle with gears all the time when comapred to highness.
Bro even gear shifting is smoother than rtr 200 4v in ronin I am totally impressed...yes bro because of tall gearing highness is way better on highways but in city it's little difficult to handle...
@@BhaveshJambhale Thank you for the answer. I am 50 yr old and want to ride bike after a gap of nearly 10 yrs. I have used Hero achiver 150 cc bike before 10 yrs. Budget is not a issue. I want a bike that I can drive in a city (Nagpur) for 40-50 km daily and on saturday 120 km plus Monday morning 120 km as my wife is employed at other place. So I am looking for a long term ownership. One issue I heard about highness is we need to frequently shift the gears while riding in city. Does highness feel heavy to handle in the traffic? I also have a plan to go on long tour with my wife. I am more inclined towards HIghness as Honda engines are known for smoothness and durability and the bike is in the market since more than a year. Pl suggest.
Yes highness Is little heavy in traffic and definitely have smooth engine...it's good for highway touring... & yes highness have tall gear so u have to down shift every time in city..if budget is not matter go for highness it's over all good bike at the same time plz ride safe because it's have more power 👍
🤣🤣 no bro...please try ronin ones u will get the idea..actually I love meteor but value for money is ronin definitely bro..it's small it's lightweight good for city as well as highway...👍👍
Good video brother Honda highness is more powerful than both these bikes Being an old enfield owner model 2006 The modern day enfields are nothing like the old enfields Tvs ronin with its budget makes the best sense.
Bro I am not talking about RE Meteor...I know highness is way more better than Meteor in terms of refinement...but when you go for value for money tvs ronin is best

Personally, Ronin look ugly. Best looking of the lot is the H'ness.
Okay bro 👍
Nice comparison brother 👌👌
Thanks bro 🙏🏻
Bro honda hiness vs Ronin which is best? Pls I have a confusion that which one I want to buy...infact i like both bikes?
Bro in hiness u get more power as compared to ronin..so if you want more power then go for hiness otherwise ronin is better option bro 👍
which will have better long term ownership experience? Ronin or highness?
What is your budget??? According to this I will suggest u the bike...if u want value for money then ronin is best....other wise go for highness 👍

Nice camparison video😍
Review from a TVS fanboy.. so verdict is common! 😂 TVS will win ! 🤣😹🚳
🤣🤣 no bro...please try ronin ones u will get the idea..actually I love meteor but value for money is ronin definitely bro..it's small it's lightweight good for city as well as highway...👍👍
@@BhaveshJambhale booked meteor already brother.. big fan of Zeppelin concept with cruiser stunts.. but not happy with design of Ronin
Yes bro it's true 👍
@@wolfmotorhead ronin is hotch poch of a bike. Bike "good at everything" is another way of saying good at nothing.
Meteor any day 😏
Nice 👍
drage race banayi hoti yaar?
Bhai highness win hoti fir..clear winner hai highness top speed me
Good video brother
Honda highness is more powerful than both these bikes
Being an old enfield owner model 2006
The modern day enfields are nothing like the old enfields
Tvs ronin with its budget makes the best sense.
Yes bro exactly 👍
Honda hiness achi hai
why compare a 225 cc and 350 cc? Complete loss of common sense!
Okay bro 👍
When highness is the best but you can't accept because you're a tvs fanboi
Bro in budget ronin is best...👍highness price is very higher as compared to both bikes
@@BhaveshJambhale highness is close in price to Meteor. So I'm not sure what you're smoking buddy. And you get Honda quality with it.
Bro I am not talking about RE Meteor...I know highness is way more better than Meteor in terms of refinement...but when you go for value for money tvs ronin is best
Nice video 📸😊
Your personal opinion?
Go for value for money product tvs ronin 👍
@@BhaveshJambhale Ronin is better than hiness
@@prasannam2534 ROFL
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ronin ❤️
Tumlogo ko na ek cameramen hire karni sahiye.
Kyo bro???
Meteors tail lamp really suits better for Ronin
You guys have to admit that TVS is the king of sound tuning.
Yes bro I know... 👍👍
Ronin looks small wrt comparisons
