The moment Honda launched the CB 350 my dad has an urge to check it out. So today we have gone to Bigwing Pezhakkapilly for the TD.
Taking a closer look at Honda CB 350 Classic, I have understood that its just looks alike with Royal Enfield but the ride is day and night apart. The Honda CB 350 classic has a kerb weight of 187Kg which is 6 kilos greater than it’s twin Highness. I have ridden both back to back for 4km and here are my observations.
- Initially in the first glance, seeing the highness alongside we knew how actually CB 350 is much bigger in all aspects. Surely an head turner in roads.
- The difference between deluxe and deluxe pro model is only 3K which additionally offers Bluetooth connectivity, chrome elements in headlight, coffee brown seats and a mudguard with same body colour( In deluxe models it came black as default)
- The engine is much refined and offers good low end torque, one can comfortably ride through the city in 3rd gear.
- The seats in CB 350 makes the whole ride different, it provides comfort orient slipt seat for rider and pillion. Also the upright relaxed riding posture adds upto it.
- It is a comfortable highway cruiser in 80-100Kmph range and the refined engine reduces fatigue and reduces frequent breaks for the rider.
- Highness is much more agile in city traffic and easier to handle due to its smaller size as compared to CB 350.
- At standstill CB 350 needs some efforts to move around, but when it starts running it goes with the flow. Bigger size of the bike make it difficult for sharp U turns in the city and agility in city traffic.
I have only experienced the in city conditions and my views are limited. There are not much niggles reported till now and let’s waited for Bhpians review on this classic.
