Congrats Sebring!
You are very lucky to be getting it very early. Blue also looks very nice and is very Unique!
Look forward to your ownership review.

Honda is firing on all cylinders. Just check out their Road Side Assistance package (Anywhere, anyplace help in India). This will prompt more riders to go out there more

The fine print says J&K and Eastern states are not covered. I'm sure this will disappoint a few, but I think they are being realistic here.

Congratulations for the bike!!

Indeed.

I guess the only time you're ever going to need this, is when you have a flat in the middle of nowhere. A breakdown on a Honda? I guess that is something you will never have to worry about.

Battery draining out/ electrical problem is more common as compared to flat tyres. Tyres can be fixed by the road side if you carry a small kit - but getting jumper cables and another source battery can be challenging.

There is an atrociously one-sided comparison from rushlane. This basically compares CB350 and IC650. This is wrong in multiple levels.

https://www.rushlane.com/royal-enfie...-12380890.html


1. They should have ideally compared with C350. Instead these paid articles make sure that the CB350 is competitor to IC650 thus inferior but actually it should be compared to C350.
2. Even after comparison the article says Just 80K and move on to IC650. Highly ridiculous.

The article basically is trying to shift the competition to low running IC650 and asserts the buyers to go for IC650 by shelling out more money.

Had a chance to remove the side panel, (among other things I checked). Things look neat and tucked in. Yuasa used to be AmcoYuasa, once upon a time. Now it Reads Tata Yuasa

As a BigWing buyer, you NEED this as the RSA typically included in your insurance will cover towing you to their nearest garage, which is MOSTLY not going to be a BigWing service centre. Any repairs/changes performed outside will mess with your warranty.

Yes, it's included with my bike from yesterday

I have a strong hunch that Honda is going to have the last laugh from such comparos.

Felt the same after the Abhinav Bhatt video.

It puts the CB smack dab in the middle between the two RE lines, 350 and 650, and what will actually happen is that there will be a lot of eating away into both by Honda.

Better than the 350s, all around. Almost as good as the 650, looks great, and cheaper.

Brilliant.

Cheers, Doc

Reverse psychology. 90% percent performance at 60% cost.

I have the habit of going through all the comments. Many people have commented on youtube channel of Mr Abhinav that, they can clearly see the road in the view mirror even at 100+ km/h and hence the vibrations are better than Classic.

But, I have observed on my duke 390 that, though there are no visible vibrations of the mirrors, I can feel significant vibrations both at the foot pegs and the fuel tank. So, I do not believe this "No vibration" until I ride it myself.

Paid journos are just robots who just does what is told them to do. They dont have the basic intelligence or common sense to compare an apple to apple rather they keep comparing apple to oranges or lemon or even tomatoes. We see it in the 4 wheel comparing too MUV being compared to SUV, 5 seater to 7 seater, 1.5L to 2.2L or 3.5L etc. They just need something to compare and for that, logic or common sense doesn't prevail.

From the initial vlogs available, it looks like, CB 350 will definitely take some good share of IC 650 as well as the C350.

Waiting to hear from our own BHPians for a true unbiased reviews/opinions of their ownership experience.

Congrats on the bike. The blue one is the one i too liked among all the available options. I would get a pair of thigh pads on the tank and make it more retro!

It's a bike.

It will vibrate.

Heat on legs. Vibration. Bike shuts off. Sometimes I wonder what the Japlas and Austrians must be saying in private about our riders ....

Cheers, Doc

That's why a guy like Abhinav, a true user, is required to break these guys. Honda did a smart thing. They trusted no one. Let the product speak
