What a positive change - understated and classy! The simple and classic GB350 badging takes it to another level instead of that ridiculous red colour “H’ness 350” badge. Wonder why Honda did not think we deserve such a beauty!

Cheers

Wow, that's a sweet colour! I'd have certainly picked this one over any other in their current palate in a heartbeat.

Those tyres are neat too! The tread pattern looks so much better than on the Zappers we get here. Found out that they are Dunlop Arrowmax GT601s, which seem to be unavailable in India:

The spec however looks eerily similar to a render I put together last week :

Re: Smurfy - My Honda CB350 Ownership Review

I took test ride of the cb350 yesterday at Shayamas Honda Alappuzha. The Honda Showroom is currently functioning as the Big Wing outlet until a separate Showroom is built for Big Wing.
Here are my initial observations after a 5 km ride :
1. The Bike is bigger in person. It has a presence and is a looker also.
2. I was skeptical of the small digital portion of the instrument console as to whether it would clear. it is clear and loved the details it gives. Quite useful ones.
3. The black-grey combo for deluxe pro and the black , maroon color scheme of the deluxe gets brown seat color.
4. The fit and finish is as usual Honda standard. it is better than the classic 350. Can't compare it with Meteor as i am yet to test ride it.
5. It sounds nice, loud and fell in love with the sound.
6. The bike has enough torque and power and combined with its lower weight would ride better than the competitions.
7. The 5 th gear - well you know it .
8. No creeping vibrations and the mirror don't vibrate.
8. The DRL looks nice. Not sure how effective is the headlight at night.
9. All accessories are still not fully available but on the way as per the sales contact.
10. The black , black-grey are two colors which have the maximum waiting periods that comes to about 2 to 2.5 months.
11. The Bluetooth connectivity system can be given a miss . Unlike the Meteor which has a screen to show the navigation , the Honda requires the rider to use a headphone to get the directions . Just not make any sense.

They will be receiving CB350 RS by Mid march.

To fellow Experienced Bhpians, the RS comes with a wider rear tire and a 17 inch rear tire compared to the 18 inch on the hiness. Would the change in ride quality be better in RS ?

Hi sebring,
Do you have any info on the angled option to bring the handle bar little closer towards me while riding. I checked out the handle raisers by Carbon racing and wanted to check the other one before taking a call.
Cheers

Whats your height? I'm 165 Cms, and the angled one is good for short riders. It brings the handlebar closer, and is a more relaxed riding posture

Hi
I am 171cms and rather than raisers alone bringing the handle bar a bit forward will make it more comfortable. Cheers.

Hi everyone! Bandidos Pitstop has launched a wide range of accessories for the CB350, including a neat short fly-screen, headlight grille, and crash guards among others. I've ordered the flyscreen and a side-stand base extender. Do check them out on their website - https://bandidospitstop.com/

Cheers!

To the owners of CB350/CB350 RS, how's the pillion seat comfort during long rides?

Planning to upgrade to this, from my Avenger which sucks in this department (among many others).

Congrats and wish you many happy miles with the CB350.

From the youtube video description , you can find the list . It appears the website is not updated yet.

Saw a BigWing dealer open opposite KTM in Indiranagar. Looks like Honda is waking up.

Congrats @S.MJet ! Please do share pictures of your CB whenever possible.

It seems like they haven't classified all the CB350 accesories under a single page yet. You can find them on the home page though, on their 'Latest Products' slider.

Also, I forgot to post this earlier. In case anyone's looking for a backrest for their CB350, check out this one by Zana: https://www.zanainternational.com/cb350-backrest.htm

Nice! A new one is coming up here in Chennai too, on the Ambattur Industrial Estate road.

Cheers!

Thanks guys!
Delivery experience was smooth, first impressions are nice, riding after a gap of 14 years, last ride was Yamaha RXG135, finding a bit heavy for my 5'4 feet hight and thin built, riding is surprisingly light and easy.
Actually will mostly be used by my son who is 5'10 feet (he is a member here).
Here are few pics.

I am similar height and build. How high is the seat, is it easy to reach the ground with both feet? Is it easy to put the bike on center stand, or push it around?
