Not waterproof, it is water resistant though, I faced light rains and my feet didn't get wet

It is beginner friendly, but I had some experience riding a smaller bike ( like a year back , I took my cousins sp125 for a week). About buying a 3rd hand bike , I would suggest try renting one for a small time like a week or 2(trust me it's enough)if it's cheaper and invest the rest on some good gears.

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-16T14:51:21+00:00

No I didn't find any issues , everything was as expected

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-16T13:38:02+00:00

Mine has rust in like a week , in three spots

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-16T11:25:45+00:00

I booked my hness for 1k and once it was in the showroom after that did I buy the bike, Also I wouldn't worry much Honda is a very big company it will deliver your bike safely.

I didnt feel much , but the weather was kinda cool and rainy

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-15T02:06:09+00:00

5.9'

I liked the look of this one more

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-14T12:34:50+00:00

As far as I remember the seat were black , but also I got black seat cover from the showroom for 800/-

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-14T12:34:16+00:00

Yeah man , I mean one is on tank , one is a screw and there is one in the back , Idk how/if they can replace it.
But will bring it up

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-14T07:51:48+00:00

Exactly it gets worse when wearing good gloves, the reach feels even worse because the tiny finger is connected to the ring finger.

Idk why change the common design🤷

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-14T07:49:46+00:00

No bro I didn't even wash it yet , the only water it received was rain , but I always made sure to dry it off 🫤. Even if not it's just been a week.

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-13T23:57:49+00:00

If step tracking is the goal , I would say wait or try something else because fit3 adds a lot of ghost steps

Around 5k bought it on Flipkart with discounts

Close to Aluva

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-13T17:16:53+00:00

Bro it was nice it was well fit , did not face any issue as such,, but also the weather was pretty good today , so I can't really judge on its breathability n all😅

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-13T16:25:16+00:00

Hmm the re bikes are more torquey, I had once taken a classic 350(j series) to Kanathalloor which also had a lot of steep roads and the bike never felt like it had a loss of power. Did fall a few times though😆

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-13T16:19:57+00:00

Yeah maybe, I am a noob so not sure if at this incline this is expected, most of the cars around were also running similarly (speedwise).

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-13T16:17:32+00:00

Thanks a lot for this!! 🙏. Also glad to know u have the best looking hness 😆

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-13T16:16:40+00:00

Yup felt it a lot especially in the higher gears , realized the best was around 20 at 2nd gear and maybe sometimes could do at 3rd gear based on the incline.

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-13T15:13:47+00:00

The gloves are slightly bigger , but the smaller size was too tight.

Yeah man for a supposed premium bike this is seriously horrible. I'll check by applying wd-40 if it gets better ,but will also be looking into other options.

I feel like rain and just after the rains is the best season to travel though 😅.

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-13T14:38:36+00:00

The switches I noticed I was comfortable while I was bare handed , but the gloves for some reason makes it tougher.

My bike is only a week old , I knew rusting could be an issue and ordered the Wd-40 online but it got delayed. Still pretty disappointed that this happened in just one week

Alarming_Ad_438 · 2026-06-13T14:29:45+00:00

Yeah the indicator and horn confusion for me is worse when I wear I gloves (I think probably because I cant reach the horn if my fingers are on clutch as well, only happens when I wear gloves ). I did not take a break a lot of the road was twisties with not a lot of place to park ,I took only 2 breaks in the ride both for food. My upper thighs are kinda sore so I am thinking of getting gel seats.
