If it is 90% bumper to bumper traffic, as some gentleman suggested, scooter is the best.

Myself has booked a Speed in Electronic City Showroom last week, for primarily my office commute in Bangalore. With CB350, you will have to do a lot more gear shifts. I did test rides of Maverick and CB300R. I could not stand the vibrations of Maverick, the mirror was blurry even at low speeds of 50-60 Km/h. Otherwise, I would have chosen this over speed, considering the wider service n/w and better fuel economy. CB300R was not for someone like me, with its too commited seating and very hard seat and uncomfortable suspension for Bangalore roads.

With Speed 400, I found something similar to CB350 H'ness in terms of ride comfort with a lot more torque in the low end (in fact, across the range).

BTW, I am a short guy at 5'2" and it was initially difficult to handle H'ness. Though Speed 400 specification quotes a seat height of 790 mm, I find it very similar to H'ness which has the height at 800 mm.
During the third week of June, I acquired Honda Hiness CB 350 and totally in love with it. The suspension set up and the engine, both are a bliss. Though the gearshift is frequent, but not that sore point which will irritate me. The biggest disappointment for Speed was it’s unnecessary heat on the shoe and foot pegs which is almost negligee in Hiness!

Hi Utkarsh, Is he an expert in fork and wheel alignment as well ? I have a Speed 400 as well and have been struggling with pull issues since months and SC hasnt been able to address it to my satisfaction even after 6 visits in 6 months. I feel heaviness on one side and as well handle discomfort.

Hi Buddy,

Sorry to hear about the crash and glad to know that you didnt have much impact. I wanted to check with you the actual costs of the spares specifically, Handlebar, Cone Set, T Stem set and forks.

Mod Notes:

1. Please quote ONLY the relevant bits of a post. Quoting a full, long post inconveniences our mobile readers.

2. Please use the EDIT or QUOTE+ (multi-quote) button instead of typing one post after another on the SAME THREAD!
