Honda CB350 DLX PRO Chrome

I recently purchased a Honda Highness CB350 and since then, my blood pressure has been continuously increasing. Every time I ride this bike, I have been disappointed with its performance and reliability. I have had to replace the disc pads, paint, alloy wheel ring, and tyres, all within a short period of time. Adding to the misery, the Honda complaint escalation matrix and after-sales service have been extremely unhelpful and inefficient. I am now at a point where I feel like my only option is to sell the bike or let it rust further, as I can't find anything good about this bike. Overall, my experience with the Honda Highness CB350 has been totally disappointing and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The Honda Highness CB350 is a complete bike designed keeping in mind the customer-centric perspective. It offers a comfortable drive and comes with cool looks. Honda is known to provide excellent service and maintenance, so one can be rest assured about that. Its pros include a charging USB port which is now a mandatory part of life. The only con of the bike is the absence of navigation when going for a long leisure drive.

After purchasing the Honda H'ness CB350 in May 2022, the chain sprocket worked well for the first 9000 km. However, at 11,000 km the chain started to make a noise and I could feel a vibration when riding. When I asked the service team about it, they said I would need to replace the chain sprocket every 10,000 km. This is something all Honda H'ness CB350 buyers should be aware of, as it may be a common issue with the chain sprocket of this bike. 

The Honda H’ness CB350 is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable ride. It has the power to take you wherever you need to go, and it offers great fuel economy. The road handling is excellent, making it suitable for a variety of terrain. The only downside is that the bike does not have a lot of protection from the elements, such as rain or mud. If you are looking for a bike that can take you through all kinds of weather, then the Honda H’ness CB350 is a great choice.

The Honda H'ness CB350 is simply awesome! I have had two years and 20,000 kms of riding experience with this machine and all I have had to pay for apart from regular servicing is for break pads twice for the front and once for the rear, and chain sprockets after 19,500 kms. The maintenance costs for parts like break pads and chain sprockets are acceptable for the mileage that I have been getting, which is 41+ for at least the last 3,500 kms. The riding experience is 5 out of 5. The suspension is a bit harder than ordinary 150cc bikes but the traction control and slipper clutch are best in class and very useful while riding, especially in city traffic and on bad roads. Therefore, I can highly recommend this bike to anyone who wants to upgrade from the 150cc to the 350cc segment.
