    This is an exact example

    This is an exact example of a Retro classic Motorcycle, The design is perfect and the riding comfort is very comfy. The engine side is so refined that the Honda is doing its best in the segment. Going towards the gearbox it's simply butter smooth and has no laggings while shifting the gears. The exhaust note is so soothing we can hear all day while riding. Overall vehicles is well refined and value for money compared to any other brands.Read More

    Unfortunate and bad experience within 3 months.

    I purchased Honda CB350 on 30th August and they announced the recall campaign just one month after my purchase. When I gave my bike to first service, I found that their was a gap on the head light rim and the main body of the head light. When I asked them they said we can't do anything now. The gap still exists and it doesn't look good. The USB charger is not working out of the box, I made a mistake of not checking it during the delivery, now they are saying electrical system is not under warranty. In the rear mirrors we can't see anything. I don't have confidence to turn left or right, I need to see back since mirrors are useless. Even after 2 months of announcement of recall, no one has called me for part replacement. It seems they need to replace a camshaft and sensor, which needs opening of engine. I am not confident of the reliability of the vehicle now. I am disappointed by the brand Honda. Read More
