Honda’s Highness 350 is its first retro motorcycle and comes with modern features such as all LED lighting, semi-digital instrument console, and traction control system. All this combined with its retro styling!

Royal Enfield Classic 350 on the other hand, is the quintessential classic motorcycle and remains the OG retro motorcycle.

Honda H’ness CB350 Features

When you look at the Honda H’ness Cb 350, you will see it carrying the same old school Honda CB roadster vibes! The round headlamps, the upright riding position, the twin suspension, and the good old fuel tank design. But, let’s not assume the Honda H’ness comes from the ’80s just yet. It comes with a lot of modern features. After all, it’s competing for head-on with the Royal Enfield’s Classic 350!

Yes, this bike can be pretty expensive. But does it justify the price tag? Well, if you compare with the Royal Enfield Classic 350’s price, then very much yes.
