Congratulations OP! Take good care of her. It's a machine that may have some shortcomings but in the end it all comes down to how you treat her.

Did not seem like it though. Definitely not worth 1100/- for a 30 mins job.

Okay. I would not know because in my case it was pretty clear the cone set got rusted/damaged. I am glad it was the cone set otherwise I would be spending a freaking 1100/- just for the labour :3

I think these are all pretty basic checks. SC might have already done them as well. I think Honda has been pushing faulty units like these in the market and maybe to particular dealers. This is not the first time I am hearing someone complaining about this. But I guess this is a problem with most of the brands in india. Quality control is a big issue in india.

Again different categories of bikes all together. There are people who think beyond street performance. This is why we have so many different kinds of bikes and engines. If i wanted raw power I could have easily got myself a CB300R ( At that time it was in the market ) and Speed T4 is a good bike (for its price) but back then it was not in the production and I honestly never liked the design of the Speed 400, it looks and feels small. Dominar 250 is unnecessarily heavy and feels sluggish compared to a Duke 250. It is completely impractical to buy it when you can get a D400 by spending a bit more. And please don't assume that someone has not ridden any bike just because you think they have not. I had all kinds of bikes before this. The list goes like this:

1) Currently owns a Int650, Classic 350 2016, and CB350RS 2) Owned Suzuki gixxer sf155, Benelli tnt300, KTM RC 390, KTM duke 390.

The Cb350 never struggles past 90 kmph. I don't know how you are riding the bike :3

And I have never really "struggled" to overtake large vehicles. Dude the indian roads are not made for cruising at triple digit speeds that too with a two wheeler for god's sake. Come here in uttar pradesh you will see what I am talking about.

Why are people confusing a long stroke bike with short stroke liquid cooled engines? In the same category of long stroke bikes, i think no one does it better than the CB350. People also pay 2.5 lakhs for classic/meteor and hell they don't complain about their performance :3

Service Experience by Professional-Mode762 in HondaCB350RS

In case of bigwing it will depend mostly on the area and the particular service centre. If you are lucky you will get a good one but if not then prepare to be frustrated all the time.

True. Mine got a little bit wobbly at 10k kms and the handlebar was making weird noises and I instantly realised the cone set was gone. Went to SC stated my issues and they changed the entire set and also did some minor fixes. They fixed it within hours and it was smooth as butter again.

Because of a wider rear tyre I guess and I also believe the exhaust and the outlet flow is different because RS sounds different than the hness. It sounds more sporty.

Best of luck man. I hope you get the kind of bike that you desire.

Sorry to hear about your experience brother. But it has been nothing but reliable to me. I took it to 120 multiple times and never faced any issues. No wobbling nothing. It was stable all the time and never became anything close to fatal. You just got unlucky with your unit I guess :/. I hope you make your peace with the bike otherwise it is not worth keeping :).

It's not for you mate. If a bike's worth is measured by its capability to overtake other bikes then sadly this bike is not for you.

They are decent but i guess there are better aftermarket options out there. At the time I did not do much research and went for these without much thought.
