                  Highly recomended for highway bike
                  Engine is refined, no vibration even driving on speed 100, suspension is stiffer side which become positive for highway rides. Good highway if your continuously riding on highway. Will get 40 plus mileage on highway if cruising on 80 speed. Handling is good. Breaking is fantastic even on high speed braking will provide enough confidence to control on it. Bigger negative is, need to shift the gear during on city rides. I would its one of bad bike if you are driving on city. Go for it if you riding on highway, will get 40 plus mileage which is an edge of this bike. Smother and refined engine will provide an next level experience on highway. DUAL Channel abs and traction work fantastic and provide too much confidence during braking.

                  Best luxury cruiser with modern vintage combo
                  I chose this bike for that vintage cruiser style. It is so stylish it is literally a head turner, from kids to elder people everyone has clicked a photo with my bike. The features and performance of the bike is beyond commendable very modern. First things first the ride height is low so even a short person can comfortably get on the bike. I commute daily 52 kms for work and I have been getting an average of 35.7km/l very affordable. The handling is so easy as the handles of the bike are low compared to other cruisers, also the bike looks big but the weight is so light. I would really recommend this bike because I have used it for more than 15000 kms in almost 2 years and I can definitely say it is the best cruiser bike. The Honda engine is the best. It is very stylish and will give you the feeling of luxury. Performance 10/10, comfort 10/10 and the pillion also has a lot of fun. Mileage also I am getting 35.7kmpl

                  Better than RE
                  Purchased after test drive, excellent performance, comfortable and pleasure on riding highways, tall gearing and big gear lever are the only issue, as a mechanical engineer this bike feels like riding a power machine. Purchased if you want great experience not to flex the friends, seems like different from common bikes.

                  3 Months, 5k km and No Regrets with the CB350
                  I always wanted a retro cruiser. 2 months before purchasing the bike I didn't know that cb350 exist and was leaning more towards RE, but one fine day cb350s insta ad came and I tested it and fell in love with this bike. In 3 months I have ridden this bike just over 5k kms and the bike is butter smooth. The engine refinement is top notch. And the way people look at this bike with curiosity just boosts my confidence while riding. I once encounter a steep off-road patch and the bike went smoothly through it. From the reviews I came across many issues regarding rusting problem but for me it's not the issue as of now and I regularly use wd40. I would definitely recommend this bike. If you are confused between RE and this bike definitely go for Honda cb350. It is worth every penny. But first of all test ride the bike and see if it matches your expectations or not.

                  Honda CB350 – The Gentleman’s Bike
                  I wanted a CB350 bike that feels solid, smooth, and reliable for daily rides. The classic styling, refined engine, and Honda’s trust made it an easy pick. It fits city traffic and long stretches perfectly. My experience with the honda bike has been great so far. The Honda bike feels stable, even at higher speeds. The exhaust note adds to the fun, and the ride quality stays very comfortable on long routes. I high recommend the CB350 because it’s dependable, comfortable, and great on mileage. Its build quality is very impressive. Anyone looking for a simple, strong, everyday Honda bike will be happy with it.

                  Bike's performance is an excellent, powerful pickup, starts easily, one handed used only, driven 7700 km only within 3 and half years. Overall experience is memorable, sound is normal, highway experience is totally amazing, driving R15S vs other bikes is totally different, average can be maintained if we drive well.

                  The best bike of segment
                  Its a stylish bike. Very good looking and powerful with a muscular body and heavy duty. I love the bike since beginning, my dream bike and very solid bike. Better in every aspect in mileage, great in looks and performance. It's very sharp looking and comfortable for long rides also a good mileage provider, good acceleration and pickup, fast, smooth, tension free riding and less maintenance bike for sure. In this price range, it's the best. The best bike. I would definitely recommend to young guys, not for old grandpa's, it gonna make you feel royal and elegant, very strong presence and that's why I am recommending this bike to all of my friends.

                  Pocket rocket
                  The only bike in the segment which provides you punchy power and aggressive position it may have some cons still who are above 5.5 height can ride this rocket comfortable. Personally I love riding sports bike and this is seriously a legendary one in the segment also from 200cc segment. I reached upto 153 of speed on a highway which is so much within a 155cc segment. End of the day its very sexy for enthusiasts who prioritise power over features. So good i mean its powerful but not that torquey its so light weight and too much powerful no braking issues for me personally and mileage i got is around 42 to 45 in city and around 50 on highways too good for college students but you get back pains and spine problems not suitable for long rides good for flicking in traffic. Yes i do, The things you have to consider while buying this is its power packed for a beginner its good for track not suitable for long rides and also you have to be confident while driving this when VVA kicks in you just fly.

                  The best starting Sports Bike
                  Great bike overall. Fantastic control and road presence. Wish I had purchased this bike earlier. Crazy engine performance. Loved it. The bikes gear shift mechanism is very smooth. Easily touches 100+ speeds with full control. Great impactful headlights and maneuverability even on bumpy roads. Very easy to handle when compared to other similar bikes.
