Neither, waiting for CB500X. Just hoping Honda price it sensibly. The performance of the highness is a downer esp in 5th gear n seems like Honda has taken the CB moniker too seriously. I mean a city bike (CB) should be fun on the highways too... Even the old CBR 250 was faster than this. C'Mon HMSI, give us some good motorcycles - the market has matured a lot now.

I keep seeing everyone saying that this bike is "Slow at highway speeds" I personally ride an R3 and my riding partner lately is someone who rides a H'ness. Most of the time when he leads, it feels like the bike is plenty fast and I have to ride harder to catch up. And when I lead, the H'ness hardly has any trouble keeping pace at a gentle 110 average. Hence, don't go by what others feel is a slower highway speed. If it can do 100-110 without vibes, that's all you need for our roads.

True, I own Duke390 and bought Hness as my second bike, initially felt I wouldn't be able to do long distance as I am used to cruising at 110-130 on my duke. After 3k kms and few long rides, I am very happy with H'ness can cruise at true 110-115 kmph all day. Yes, the tall 5th gearing is little annoying first, but once you are used to the bike and understand the engine character you will be fine, also engine is extremely refined at any rpm. Coming from duke, the ergonomics are very relaxed and can do 600+kms in day with very little fatigue.

You're wrong on two counts. Firstly, you dont shift into the 5th very early, in fact you CAN'T shift into the 5th below 70, without the engine crying out in protest...the gearing is so tall. Secondly, as you put it, its not as simple as opening and closing the throttle once in 5th, on the contrary, nothing happens if you open the throttle at 70 with the bike in 5th....for any overtaking manoeuver, you gotta shift down, down to 3rd even, at times....and that is where the action is! I've had this bike for the last couple weeks, done about a thousand kms, I already have a Classic 500, chose a Honda this time as I've had enough of broken clutch cables, failed starters, losuy lights (you put aux lights and you're screwed by the 14 AH battery that costs a bomb), and a screwed fuel injector. While the Honda may not give me the torque to cruise in top gear at 40-50....it gives me something intangible but of paramount importance on a long ride....PEACE OF MIND and RELIABILITY.

I rode this bike and have to agree with shumi on the easy going nature , This bike can comfortably cruise between 80 -120 on highways without any distinct vibrations. If you dont like the waiting period on RE's or you dont want an RE as it is way too common, definitely choosing this bike is a good idea. The only negative thing is the headlight throw , though led it is still not adequate, the halogen on my classic does a better job.

You're incorrect, on two counts, Shumi: 1) 1:00-1:30: You say: "The way they've chosen gearing causes problems. So the pro of this engine is at really low speeds..... you will shift up into 5th very very early on and then it's just peaceful riding, opening and closing the throttle." FACT: NO, sir. In the city, you can't shift into 5th "very very early on" and you definitely can't stay there in "peace, and just open and close throttle." In fact, you can't shift into 5th anytime before 60 km/h (it's 40 km/h for the Meteor), and even when you do, you can't do that "peaceful on/off throttle" you talked about 🤦 In the city, in 5th, every time you close the throttle, you WILL have to shift down to fourth to keep the engine from lugging. 2) 6:53-7:03: You say: "If the rear wheel was narrower, and the circumference lower, you'd get a motorcycle geared EVEN LOWER than the H'Ness and that would really really definitely be a problem." FACT: The gearing on the H'Ness is TALL, not SHORT. So the statement "gearing even shorter than the H'Ness would have caused problems" is incorrect. Would request you to read a bit about gearing, engines, and stuff before you make videos 🙏

It's a beautiful bike, everything is perfect in the RS except the engine power. Ideally it should have been around 30-32 bhp at least. That would make it more desirable

After looking at Meteor, I am sure classic 350 will have an improved built and finish. It will improve upon its strengths of being a "classic" looking bike with the old world charm. The power for sure will be concentrated in the lower RPMs. I will be happy if RE can match the fit and finish of CB 350 bikes. And one more thing, I think RE will be making sure that the exhaust sounds better on classic 350 as compared to meteor.

The bike is at good control and I reached a max of 120 speed and the bike is so smooth. A few setbacks like, the head light throw in the night is not sufficient. Sometimes gear shifting I felt issues during the long ride. But that's not a big problem when compared with the ride comfort.

Bang on Shumi Da. Exactly what I even wanted to say, that Honda should have stuck to being a Honda rather than being a better RE there is! When I ask my friend who owns a H'ness ( 4 months old now) that it must be awesome to ride that bike his reactions are mostly neutral and self introspective . I mean if I break down his thought process into words it would summarise like "Meh, I just own a refined RE rather than owning a RE. I just wanted to be on a different bandwagon of cruiser bikes which more or less look exactly the same " And I guess Shumi da, that's what the bane of the current bike market is in currently at the least, wont you say. Manufacturers are more or less making the same versions of already established models, sort of piggybacking I would say. CB300R was a good model, but Honda completely deviated from that. And this is just one example, there are many many more like that in the current scenario. Everyone just wants to cash in on the same product portfolio. Bit of a long rant here but wanted to say what I was feeling inside my cerebrum 😛

@schumar what did you make of the jawa 42 2.1 against this

What about the comfort of pillion seat compare to Highness ?

@powerdrift do you think changing the rear sprocket would work in the gearing flaw?

In this case I would think no. The problem is that there isn’t enough power and the spread is narrow (bottom-biased). So the tradeoff to get more acceleration at high speeds (the biggest issues) will be so severe that the result will probably be worse than Honda’s gearing choice.

Hey Shumi, Do consider review of new Mojo BS6 too 😃. There are plenty of changes from what Powerdrift reviewed last time in BS3 Mojo.

Waiting for versus 650 vs vstorm 650xt 2021 review comparison

Dear Shumi, I rode my Meteor down to Kankyakumari (3300 KMs) in a week and I can tell you this machine with this new engine is a gem. There are few negatives but they are so tiny no one will mind them, I think with this engine in classic frame RE will out run Honda by miles. Because on a highway getting your peak torque and power on a such a low RPM simply does not work, with J series motor, you can actually overtake a truck at 80 KMPH without a down sift, you can climb a hill at 70 KMPH, can cruise 90 to 100 for hours and many more things. I think RE played it very smart with tuning and gear positioning. But thanks to Honda, it has a big role in forcing RE to make a better machine. But at present RE is the boss of 350 CC.

Hey, I have recently booked Meteor. Loved the test ride. How's the reliability though? Any issues that RE bikes are infamous for?

@@ganeshnaik6503 Ganesh, today I completed 19000 Kms on my Meteor. No issues till date. I have been to Kanyakumari (3500 KMs in a 8 days) and Laddakh 4200 in 12 days) and my machine keeps running. Just for ur information I went to Laddakh without any spare part not even a clutch wire. If you ride it properly it will take you where so ever you wish to. Welcome to the Meteor Brotherhood. You are going to have fun.

The loud music kicks in all of a sudden, if possible do take care of this in your next videos..... Apart from that an excellent review focussed on what really matters...thank you PD...... Could you do a comparison of Java 42 2.1, RE Meteor, Honda CB350 RS ?

Road presence and sound ❤️

Today, I had it's test drive. What a bike.

this one or Jawa 42 2.0 ?? which one for comfortable touring ?

Things to be covered in the upcoming video of CB350 vs J series Classic 350: 1. After Sales service of Honda vs RE needs to be covered in terms of pricing, quality of service. 2. Availability and waiting periods of Honda vs RE. 3. Customisation scenes. 4. Touring aspects 5. Quality of products in terms of fit and finish. 6. Fuel economy and tank ranges.

To the BGM guy, Okay now I have to go and revisit the thunderbird x review too. Thanks

Review the new mojo bsVI. Its been too underrated for its touring capabilities.

So can or how to change the gearing to hit the bike better?

Great presenting skills Shumi !

Shumi and "any stretch of imagination" Beat this combo😂😂😂💨💨

Price not problem.. but is the tour accessories of highness all fits to this RS..as highness has seat extension, those engine guards & saddle rests all etc
