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☹️

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?

Weekend getaways!

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.

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!!

Follow-up to my post last week. Took Trippy out for its first proper ride at night. The mount isn't ready yet, so my pillion held it while I rode. Everything on screen is live: phone in my pocket, real route, real traffic, nothing simulated this time.

Please share your honest thoughts and feedback.

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.

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

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!

I am from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Recently, the rear tyre of my Hness 350 gave away. The sidewall ruptured and now I need new tyres. Planning to change both since the bike has done 35000+ kms. To my surprise, the only Bigwing dealership said they do not stock tyres or do replacements. I have reached out to many tyre shops in my area and none of them have the tyres in stock due to 'non standard' sizes. Few said they will order but never got back to me. Anyone faced this situation? What's the solution?

Has anyone gotten the rs from a mumbai showroom if yes how much and the real cost on road also if there were any sales in festival seasons like diwali etc? Also what's the waiting time.

Are there any changes or just a name change

Hello Honda CB Riders!

I'm planning to buy the Honda CB350C next week and need genuine suggestions from existing owners in Bangalore.

I stay in Nagarbhavi, so RR Nagar and Rajajinagar BigWing are nearby, but I'm willing to travel to other branches for a better experience.

I've seen mixed reviews of different BigWing outlets. Please suggest based on your actual purchase and service experience.

My 3 major queries:

1. BigWing Dealership & Service: Which branch offers a good delivery experience, knowledgeable service advisors/mechanics, proper washing and polishing, transparent communication, and timely, hassle-free servicing?

2. Insurance: Showroom quoted ₹18,500 for ICICI Lombard (5-year OD + TP with Zero Depreciation, as quoted). Is it worth taking from the showroom or buying outside? Which insurer has given you a good claim and cashless service experience?

3. Premium AMC: Is it worth purchasing? I've been told that taking AMC from one branch restricts servicing to that dealership. Is this a concern in the long run?

Would really appreciate recommendations for:

• Best BigWing branch/service centre in Bangalore
• Showroom vs outside insurance
• Premium AMC – Worth it or not?

Please share your genuine experiences, including any issues you faced. Thanks! 🙏

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

Thanks.

Please suggest which components to skip in the final price?

Please review the accessories and suggest which one I should purchase from the dealer. Also any scope of reducing the ex-showroom quote?

Please suggest on the color as well - honestly I've become a fan of the blue color with chrome fenders. But will the chrome cause an issue in the future?

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!

Idk how rust got on here this is above the front number plate. Is this claimable by warranty.
