Q. Which bike is comfortable for the pillion rider. Either hness 350 or Himalayan. Please answer?
  • Royal Enfield Himalayan is one of the sweetest motorcycles in the sub-Rs 5 lakh category for pillion comfort. The seat is well-padded and roomy, with the footpegs being positioned just right for a long day looking over your rider’s shoulder, and the felted seat feels wonderfully premium, too. On the other hand, the Hness CB350 offers a decent pillion seat with enough room for the pillion. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
  • Both the bikes are of different categories,which prefers you the best can go ahead.If you're main intention is of engine refinement and reliability HONDA is the best.
  • No doubt exactly the himalayan
Q. Which have better riding comfort between honda highness and Enfield meteor?
  • If you are looking for a comfortable, easy-to-handle bike that marries old-school charm and modern sensibilities well, you may go for Honda Hness CB350. The neutral riding position and excellent seat keep your body absolutely content. The H’ness does a fantastic job of masking its 181kg kerb weight, offering easy and neutral handling with minimal effort. On the other hand, the Meteor 350 offers wide bars and a feet-forward seating position that will accommodate even six-footers easily. The scooped-out shape for the seat is surprisingly botherless, and the firm cushioning makes it well suited for long stints. Once you adapt to the quickness and lightness of the steering and the stretched-out seating position, you will find yourself slicing through traffic without breaking a sweat. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
  • I think you haven't ride meteor 350 ,that's why you says the same . After selling my Honda Hness cb350 , I recently purchased meteor 350 because of the comfort ride and long lasting trust on Royal Enfield.I would like to recommend you for meteor 350

  • Hi, i am 5.5 Height and 85 Kgs weighing, i have visited the showroom personally and the first glims on this bike caught my attention and trust me its an amazing looking bike, i like to testimony my understanding on this bike, firstly, looks is Fantabulous, its an Retro Bike and for city as well as long rides, while i sat on this bike i could easily reach out to floor my legs and the bike is so center balanced i could sit and tilt the bike towards left and right side upto 40 degree angle slanting and i easily could lift this bike up with no extra muscle power, the Tank capacity is 15 Liters which Honda has put thoughts on Long hassle free drives, the Handle & sitting posture is so accurate and less tension around while saddling the bike, now, on Engine, it is so well cut around for Heat Precipitation where the rider does not feel so much on the heat, below the Engine we got the Shaft Cover wherein, it is so well designed its more of futuristic method than legacy pattern, for pillion rider the Sari Guard is well positioned that it is not very noticeable good, Mileage 35Kms / Ltr is another good mechanical bring up on this bike, Torque and speed is more appreciated than others in this range, now, on to Digitalization its full and full mode operational with Bluetooth connectivity and so on so fourth (one need to explore by your self its an interesting bike) foremost with alloy wheels and Tubeless tires is what one needs now a day. All Lights Indicators and so on is LED, which enables your battery back life go long, last but least, this bike is for any ones choice and yes every person has many desires but this bike keeps / provides the best fit for once choice in all aspects right from color, performance, style, Digital, balancing, Mileage, Speed, ABS, TCS, Slipper Clutch and so on. trust me no one will ever regret on the purchase and investment done here. this is my honest views on this bike. Loved it. Thumps up HONDA you guys build the dream machine of every Indian.

  • Everything i say here is my own personal experience.It can vary from person to person.Driving experience and comfort is the best compared to its competitors.The power is adequate but not in a way that scares beginners.Low end torque is not good compared to the competitors.But in my opinion this motorcycle is not meant for low end.This is a good street bike not a cruiser.But not at all bad for touring purposes.Don't buy this as an alternative for re or jawa.Test ride this bike and see if it is suited for your purposes and buy afterwards.So don't get the wrong impression that this is a better re/jawa.This motorcycle gives its best performance at its mid range and it is great💥very nimble to handle in traffic.Felt very less vibrations.I felt the need of bigger mudguards in front as well as at the rear.Brakes are up to the mark.Lights are averagetorque control/traction control came in handy when i took the bike to offroad conditionsfor me this machine is perfect in every waysbest thing about this bike is it gives a smile on my face everytime i ride it.Not once i regret buying this wonderful machine.

  • Purchased on 21 july 2021 ride 4900km as on 22.10.21 (till date), Strong, Durable finishing is awesome.40kmpl tank full to tank full (mixed traffic including highway and traffic).Strong durability certify by an incident today happen at sardar patel marg a lot of traffic are the so sudden braking by continuously 4 bikes i was on 3 position suddenly bike behind me don't control over so there is sudden impact from behind.I have no discussion with him or even i don't seen his face just move forward after the incident after reached my destination i seen the bike only saari guard bend and small bend in number plate rectify by me by my legs pressing downward.Its not seen that such incident happen.As per safety point of view extremely satisfied.After purchasing it there is no feel that wasting of money.I am sure if any other bike on this place surely damage will be large.Very strong and excellent built quality.Many many congratulations and best wishes to honda for making such a great machine.

  • Bought this bike from jaipur on 25 dec 2020.I had benelli 600i tnt.While benelli was a tiger, Though little uncomfortable for long rides with pillion, This one is an excellent touring bike.Very comfortable, Good pickup, Smooth as butter and extremely comfortable for pillion.Excellent touring bike.Am yet to get servicing done, But have been promised a great experience by the dealer.Mileage etc not checked yet.Barely ridden 200km as am yet to go for long drives.Braking is excellent.Max speed tried is 110 kmph.But i guess it should reach 120.A very basic, Very comfortable mid speed touring bike.But that is what one can get at this price.

  • Just saw this bike on the internet. Photos, Walkaround videos..... and for the first time in my life, booked a bike. I love the minimalistic features with FI and balancer and slipper clutch for modern technologies. This looks like a easy to maintain bike. Honda's dependable badge will ensure quality, smooth engine gearbox powertrain and a neat mileageThe large engine (by Indian standards only ) will expand the two wheeler reach to 300 400 kms. Looking at the specs, we can expect it to cruise at around 70 - 100 kmph on the highways. The dual channel ABS should make it safe.......i have not yet ridden the bike.
