Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Honda hness 350 or fzx which is best to buy
  • Honda Hness 350 gives you more power and FZ-X gives you better mileage but less power as compare to h'ness..! For FZ-X you have to pay 1.5lacs and for H'ness you have to pay 2.5lac almost 1 lac price difference in both of bikes. It depends upon your budget and choice
  • Selecting between the Honda Hness CB350 and Yamaha FZ-X would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, performance figures, features required, etc. The FZ-X is a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, it does work extremely well in the city. But on the other hand, it doesn’t really hit the mark in any other respect. We really think Yamaha would’ve been better off getting the XSR155 to India since they already make the MT15 here. Sure it might have been a bit more expensive, but compared to the Huskies or the CB350RS, it would’ve still been the most affordable neo-retro bike in the country. It would’ve even made sense for Yamaha to build a neo-retro bike on the FZ25 platform. That way it would at least have had more punch and better highway legs. At the end of the day, if you wanted a bike in this 150-160cc segment, and Bluetooth connectivity isn’t a big deal for you, the standard FZ-FI is 98 percent the same bike, looks much, much better, and saves you 12,000 Rupees in the process. If you want our wholehearted recommendation, that would be it. Whereas, if you are looking for a comfortable, easy-to-handle bike with marries old-school charm and modern sensibilities well, you may go for Honda Hness CB350. It gets a prominent thumper exhaust note and it is the most affordable bike in India to get traction control. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort.
