New Classic 350 vs Meteor 350 vs Jawa vs Honda CB350 RS | Best retro motorcycle is... | PowerDrift

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is clearly the question that is bugging all of us right? It’s bugging Rohan a lot more. So he decided to use his superpowers and called together India’s top motorcycle reviewers, Kartikeya Singhee, Shumi and Varun Painter to help him decide which one to buy. The only one missing is the Benelli Imperiale, but a test ride bike wasn’t available, so what to do only. The trio sits down with Rohan at the PowerDrift office to figure out which one to buy. Should it be the powerful and energetic Royal Enfield Meteor? Or the just-released, all-new Royal Enfield Classic 350? Or Honda’s duo of competitors, the CB 350 RS or the Highness? Or is the updated Jawa Jawa the one to get? Tough decision, no? And if you think you know the answer... prepare for shocks and surprises!

    Just an American observation from someone who owned Honda's first year of their CL350 scrambler. Was at least 34 horsepower at over 10k RPM on a 180 degree twin cylinder bike that weighed about 340 pounds. The willingness of that engine to spin above 8K rpm was what made it so exciting, 2 valves per cylinder, 10.5:1 CR. The horsepower curve plateaued from about 8K to 10K with the flattish torque curve about 2.5K lower so the engine came into 5K rpm and surged even more power. It was a top heavy bike though.

    I am riding royal Enfield bikes from last 12 years. 8 years with thunder bird and 4 years with Continental gt 535. As expert mentioned Royal Enfield bikes connect to your emotion. But biggest problem with RE is reliability. And vibration in the bike. After each servicing you have to visit service center atleast once to get all your work done. If these two things has been resolved then you can go for it . Otherwise Honda 350 RS is a excellent bike for daily use as per various KZread moro channels.

    Big wing showrooms are the biggest let down of honda. I too think it's the nicest looking of the bunch ( I personally feel the old classic(UCE) looked better), but looks are subjective. Couldn't test ride it unfortunately since no showroom in Lucknow. But I understood the "best slowest" reference for the classic, not necessarily wanted or enjoyed by everyone. That relaxed feeling is lacking by far in jawa, which absolutely feels like a modern day bike - a pulsar 200ns on steroids is what I would describe the jawa engine which lacks character.

    Apart from the discussion of which one is more Retro: For daily commute, CB350 seems to be better for its engine refinement, feather light clutch, easy maneuver ability in the city and the premium looks. RE doesn't look premium anymore, as we r used to RE looks for decades and It mostly looks like an uncle's motor cycle rather CB350 looks fresh and younger. Even the meteor looks like a beefed up thunderbird. Nothing new in terms of looks. Atleast this is my opinion.

    Man love love LOVED this conversation! The banter is incredible and yet the talks are so informative! The Classic is so good because of its character, the new improvements give the old character a bit of smoothness and more desirable for a newer customer base compared to the old fan base The highness is definitely the best among these, the Honda badge comes with a lot of expectations and it definitely lives upto it and maybe goes beyond that! But the bigwing thing definitely puts people off, honda need it to bring it to tier 2 and 3 cities to even come close to topple the RE The meteor is definitely the most confusing here, I'd prefer the UCE thunderbird all day!! I don't have anything to say about the Jawa and so was the case with the 4 of you so that says a lot 😂 For me the best retro bike is the Interceptor 650 man, BEST ❤️

    Well, I was watching the RE classic 350 review video and you said " The comparison between this CB350RS, Meteor, and Jawa are coming soon", I thought, oh I will have to wait for a few days. Hours later, I am watching this :) Awesome video guys. I will always agree with the main point made " Choose your bike with your heart, not with the specs and numbers". Fingers crossed and waiting for the release of new pulsars and the Powerdrift videos on them, and please please please guys, all four of you, please sit around and talk about bikes more, I would love to listen to that.

    I used to hate the older gen Royal Enfields and was a KTM fan through and through. But since the time they dropped a world class 650cc engine the brand has shot up in the terms of quality and customer experience. I was so impressed that I got an Interceptor myself; and by the looks of it they have nailed the ball out of the ball park again with the Classic 350.

    You must also check out the way Himalayan has grown, I got one 6 months back and it’s as well built as the interceptor (I have been using the interceptor since October 2019), they have revised the Electricals in line with the interceptor, the fueling has taken a leap ahead. RE is on a roll, only problem is finding good mechanics at workshops.

    Im glad to see RE finally up their game with new refined engines and quality. The Himalayan and the new J series are popular in europe, but a high price compared to home market. Many choose to take a second hand honda instead for the same money due to better quality. If the price point was the same as India, you would struggle to make enough. The 650 Interceptor was the UK biggest selling bike. Well done.

I get it Shumi is getting old and have started liking motorcycles that have “feel” and “sluggishness” ingrained.

    All hail Highness 🙌. Quality Honda. A retro design is ok, why a retro headlamp still RE? Learn from Highness for headlamp integration to retro look. That's what is called style with substance. No offense to RE fans. Finally a fuel gauge.... When will we see the gear indicator.... That's awesome...

    Yuss! Spot on about the headlight. Quality Honda? No. The CB isn’t badly made but it’s no quality Honda
