Honda Cb350h'ness Review
"Honda's best retro single — buy one before everyone else does."
Used Buyer Review
The H'ness CB350 is one of those bikes that Honda got genuinely right on the first attempt. It's retro without being ridiculous, comfortable without being boring, and that single-cylinder 348cc engine is silky smooth in a way that makes Royal Enfield owners quietly jealous. For city commuting and weekend blasts on B-roads, it's genuinely excellent. The fuel injection is crisp, throttle response is predictable, and the twin exhausts look properly premium for the money. Used examples are worth hunting down carefully though. Early units had some reported issues with the Bluetooth connectivity module throwing fits, and a few owners complained about the assist-and-slipper clutch feeling notchy before it loosened up. Check service history obsessively — the engine needs clean oil to stay happy. Also inspect the rear suspension closely; some bikes have been thrashed by riders who mistook 'retro-cool' for 'sports bike.' The finish on chrome bits can bubble if previous owners ignored basic care.
