                  Great bike
                  Bought this bike 6 months ago and done almost 9000km and the bike is running smooth did a little little bit of modification to exhaust now it sounds better than the re650’s. Good performance, very comfortable mileage is not good but enough for a 650cc motorcycle, if anyone is looking for re 650 i would recommend do take a test ride of goldstar you will not regret

                  Very good bike
                  The performance will be just like the classic 650. Even though It has an upward riding position, it's still a comfortable bike. Cannot tell until I know the real price from my area because what I see online isn't always real style and design-wise this would be the coolest bike ever made in India.

                  i love h'ness 🫠
                  Honda H'ness is: Better than Royal Enfield for long term reliability easier to maintain more refined for ageing rider comfort. This is honestly a very smart lifetime bike choice. DLX Pro black excellent choice by the way. Looks timeless won't look outdated after 10-15 years easy to maintain colour. The best bike money can buy.

                  Hness experience of 4 years
                  I own a Honda Hness 350 cc bike I have always been very passionate about bikes and I was following the Hness even before it was officially launched After its launch I started planning to buy a bike Initially I thought of getting something around 250 cc but my heart was not convinced Talking about the experience, it has been quite excellent better than the Bullet. The mileage is also very good. It has been four years now, and there has been no issue with the engine at all. Whether you ride it smoothly or roughly, the experience has been absolutely great. In terms of handling and comfort, I would rate it 4.5 out of 5 Yes, I always recommended very person who's passion to travel solo bike and with good stylish and comfortable journey and also with good mileage. If I talk about the reasons for not buying it, the braking system is not very good the seat is a little uncomfortable for long distance journeys and there is also an issue with the headlight which is not up to the mark.

                  The best of both worlds
                  Great bike. Versatile for city and highways. It can be tedious in traffic at times, due to low low end torque, but the feather light clutch makes it enjoyable. The service is pretty professional. It may be on the slightly expensive side, but it's worth the price. Extremely smooth riding experience and extremely smooth engine refinement. Very smooth engine with probably the highest mileage in this segment, little to no vibrations, and good suspension. The Bluetooth connectivity is also the icing on the cake. On the downside, there is slight rusting, and it is present and will affect the bike in the rain. Fir a person who wants both city and highways, this bike would be a great option. It's manageable in the city and has great weight distribution, and it literally glides on highways. If you maintain a constant speed of 80-100 on the overdrive 5th gear, you can get more than 40kmpl mileage, which is probably the best thing about this bike.
