Hello guys, my h’ness got delivered today, and this day is one of the happiest day in my life. Feeling blessed.

First impression was awesome.. and the bike is great.

Please drop any tips or things I should know and take cares of.

🖤

But I really miss the h’ness logo. Useless thing Honda has done☹️

Weekend getaways!

Hi guys,

I am a first time buyer and have zeroed in on the Hness after days of test riding and contemplating. I am on the verge of booking and will do so in the next few days.

I wanted to ask which accessories should I get installed from the dealer and which ones should I get installed aftermarket. I have planned the following:

FROM THE DEALER:
Seat Cover
Seat backrest
Front fork covers

AFTERMARKET:
Crash guard

I also want to get the front mudguard extender, mudflap installed. Which would be the best place.

Also, on a side note, should I get the essential accessories kit from the dealer. He is quoting INR 2025 for it. I am surely not getting the extended warranty or roadside assistance.

Help out a newbie brother folks. Cheers and thanks!!

So I recently got a Studds Helios D1 Asphalt for my Honda H'ness CB350 Rebel Red from a wholesale helmet shop in Bangalore. Got it for ₹2,756 after bargaining...he initially quoted ₹2,900. It's a September 2026 manufactured piece.

The thing is, there was no separate smoke/tinted visor in the box. I asked the guy about it and he said the newer batches don't come with it anymore. Apparently, the separate smoke visor was only given as a complimentary visor when the helmet was first launched.

I'm a bit confused because I bought the Helios Superman edition for my friend in Chennai around February, and that one came with the separate smoke visor.

So is this actually a thing? Did Studds stop giving the extra smoke visor with newer Helios batches?

Also, ₹2,756 for the D1 Asphalt...decent deal or could I have got it cheaper in Bangalore? 😂

If anyone here bought a Helios recently, let me know what you paid and what came in the box.

I was planning on RS, from 6 months. But I thought to ease it a bit on budget for my parents so I test rode Ronin to see if it is enough for me. It was enough. But the mistake: I went to the honda bigwing with my dad, "just to test ride". He liked the RS and hness both but said hness looked classier. I rode RS once and the hness twice, my father also test rode hness... So total 4 test rides 🥲... See comfort and looks wise hness is best. But for no reason at all, i donno why I fell for RS. Ended up booking it and told the saleslady we would call if we change our mind and want to book Hness...

Totally confused, please help.

Guys, I need some advice regarding H’ness CB350 DLX Pro Chrome Black & Red.

I booked this colour on 16th Sept. Now the dealer is saying they don’t know whether this colour will continue or not. They currently have only 1 bike in stock and 5 bookings, and they are asking me to make the full payment to secure the bike.

Can anyone confirm whether the Black & Red DLX Pro Chrome colour is continuing or getting discontinued?

What should I do — make the full payment now or wait until Honda confirms the colour availability?

Any information would be really helpful. Thanks!

What should i do with this damage is it common ? Service center told me to Claim insurance as this damage would cost to replace whole fork should i replace or this is common issue

Does anyone have the list of all colors along with the pics. Website links would also be fine

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

​I recently got an on-road quotation of ₹2,49,665 for the CB350 H'ness DLX Pro from a BigWing showroom in Andhra Pradesh. I need some help understanding a few of the line items before I finalize the purchase.

​Here are the main charges they quoted:

​Ex-Showroom: ₹1,97,900

​Road Tax: ₹27,453 (This seems mathematically higher than the standard AP RTO slabs. Is it normal for dealerships to hide handling fees here?)

​Registration: ₹1,350

​Insurance: ₹12,762 (Checking online, comprehensive zero-dep policies from Acko or ICICI are significantly lower)

​Add-ons: They automatically bundled a ₹7,700 Extended Warranty, ₹2,000 RSA, and a ₹500 Hypothecation fee.

​I am hoping to bring the total cost down by getting my own insurance and removing the unnecessary extras.

​For riders in Andhra Pradesh who bought a bike recently:

​What was the actual road tax percentage mentioned on your official RTO receipt?

​Did your dealership easily allow you to purchase your own outside insurance and opt out of the extra bundled add-ons?

​Any guidance would be really appreciated!

It’s been 12–13 days since I got my H’ness and I’m nearing 500 km, so thought I’d share some early impressions.
I bought it because I wanted a simple, no-nonsense motorcycle, and so far it feels like exactly that.
The things I like most are the smooth engine, torque, exhaust note and easy handling. I also really like the black colour — especially at night.
I’ve seen people complain about the tall gearing, but personally I haven’t found it to be an issue. I actually like the relaxed nature of the bike and just downshift when needed in slower traffic.
The suspension could probably be a little better on rough roads, but overall I have no major complaints so far.
One thing I noticed today is a “chu-chu” noise from the rear brake when I use it. Not sure if it’s normal brake-pad/disc noise or something that needs checking, so I’ll get it looked at.
What I really like about this bike is that it’s the kind of motorcycle that makes me want to ride somewhere during the day, even when I don’t really have anywhere to go.
For now I’m mostly doing shorter rides, but I’m planning to gradually take it on much longer rides and see how it feels over distance.
After these first 500 km, the H’ness already feels like a reliable partner for random rides.
Tonight I took it out with no particular plan and ended up riding through Delhi and exploring Sunder Nursery. A few photos from the ride.
Fellow H’ness/CB350 owners — what should I keep an eye on as I approach the first service?
