Honda H’ness CB350: Hello guys, welcome back to another article . Today we have Honda H’ness CB350 with us.
I already did a article with the Honda CB350 RS in this article . So I’ll not go in detail in all the specs and everything. We’ll just see how different it is from CB350 RS.
Design & Styling Differences from CB350 RS
Basically, it’s a chedd version of the CV3 RS. So as you can see, it gets a lot of chrome, which I do like it.
The exhaust really looks good in this particular motorcycle.
We have a headlight cow as you can see which looks nice and it also matches the color of the vehicle and also it gets this thing which is in the both the side and also he have added a grip.
Everything in this motorcycle is color matched nicely.
For instance, this paint color goes well with this seat color and also this uh what is this thing?
And uh exhaust is fully chrome and it is not rusted anywhere.
And uh it is in very mint condition.
Front Design & Lighting
So we’ll start from the front.
At front we have a full LED headlamps which is not very powerful.
And we also have indicators which are LED which are also uh daytime running lamps in this motorcycle.
So it does a double duty.
And this is the horn of the motorcycle. It gets dual horn and it’s meek. It’s nice.
Brakes, Wheels & Tyres
And at front we have 310 mm disc.
At rear we have 240 mm disc.
The tire size is 100 section at the front and 130 at the rear.
And the rear also we get all LED units.
So in my opinion it is looking good.
Let me know how it looks in the comment section guys.
Tank, Handlebar & Switchgear
Tank is nice and huge.
You can tuck in your feet underneath and the shape is really good and it is very bulky.
I really do like it.
This is the fuel cap and uh handlebar also is finished in chrome.
And switch gears are good quality compared to roll and fit.
It’s very similar.
Controls & Console
Here you have a kill switch.
Below that you have hazard lights.
The indicators or the DRLs act as hazard light.
As you can see, it’s blicking now.
Here they have swapped this thing.
I don’t know for what reasons.
Only known to Honda.
And here you get the pass slide switch.
And uh this is for some Bluetooth function.
And it doesn’t get any navigation here in this display.
Nothing is there.
You can only connect your uh headphones.
And it will tell how to go in those headphones only.
Instrument Cluster Information
So here you only have basic uh trip functions.
This is the know where you can uh go from trip and uh what else?
We have average range.
We have fuel meter, battery voltage and total load of distance.
Gear cushion indicator is nice and large.
And uh in this motorcycle we don’t get a tachometer.
It has side stand indicator, traction control and ABS light is blinking.
I don’t know for what reason.
Traction Control & Electronics
And uh that’s it.
I think uh the traction control in this motorcycle is not very superior.
It has uh no stages.
It’s either interrupts a lot or just shut downs.
And I don’t think you would ever need traction control system in this motorcycle.
Engine Performance & Gearbox
The motor is very smooth in most of its RPM.
Only at the top end of the motorcycle, it has some wipes.
As you can see, mirrors do vibrate at higher RPMs.
But most of its uh rev range, it’s very smooth.
The engine is a 350 cc fuel injected s air cooled engine.
It is made with 5-speed gearbox.
The gearbox is nice and smooth shifting and is super light.
It is one of the lightest in a motorcycle you could possibly find.
The engine produces 21 horsepower.
And it produces 30 Nm of torque.
Mid-range & Top-end Performance
The mid-range and top end is very exciting.
The mid-range is very very very strong.
The engine is very rewarding when you rev it up.
So the mid-range and the top end is the highlight of this motorcycle.
Exhaust Sound & Refinement
Exhaust sounds really good.
The sound is bassy but it’s only coming from the exhaust.
There is no mechanical connection to the thump.
There is absolutely no vibration in this motorcycle because of the exhaust.
Ride Quality & Handling
The rider angle of this motorcycle is very laidback.
It is not sporty.
It’s not very upright.
It’s a very comfortable position.
The handling of this motorcycle is also really good.
You can easily chuck around in the corner.
It has a great balance.
It weighs like 180 kg but you won’t feel it.
Braking & Safety
Brakes also good.
Front gets 310 and rear gets 240.
It also get ABS.
Stopping power is more than adequate.
Suspension & Comfort
Front suspension is really good.
But the rear is stiff.
On bad roads, broken roads, it’s a pain.
You can feel all the bumps.
The rear you do get a kickback effect.
Mileage & Cruising Ability
It is a very fuel efficient motorcycle.
It returns about 35 km which is very respectable.
Doing 70 80 at highways, it’s very comfortable.
This is an excellent cruiser.
Final Verdict
This is a great motorcycle.
If you want to go for long distances, it is very ideal motorcycle.
It is an excellent cruiser.
The sound it makes is something I’m getting in with.
