Hi everyone,

I visited a Honda BigWing Whitefield bangalore today and test rode both the CB350C and H'ness CB350. I'm quite confused between the two because I genuinely liked both, so looking for advice from owners and people who have recently purchased either one.

My main use case is:

- Daily office commute

- General city riding

- Weekend outings

- Eventually planning to do proper long rides/touring

- Mostly riding solo

My impressions after the test ride

CB350C:

- I really liked the overall look and road presence.

- It's bulkier, but surprisingly it didn't feel difficult to handle.

- The biggest thing I noticed was how smooth the bike felt despite its size.

- I really liked the ride quality and the relaxed feeling.

- I actually prefer the bulkier classic look over something too slim.

- Planning to get the Black Pearl with brown seats, which I really liked.

H'ness CB350:

- Felt slightly more natural/easy overall.

- I absolutely loved the exhaust note of the H'ness.

- Ride quality was also very good.

- It felt like a very good all-rounder for city + highway.

One small thing that felt weird on both bikes: I'm coming from smaller bikes, and where I'm normally used to reaching for the horn, the indicators are placed there, so I kept instinctively reaching for the wrong thing. 😂 I assume that's just something I'll get used to.

Overall, I liked the CB350C's smoothness/ride quality and bulkier feel, but I liked the H'ness exhaust sound more. That's probably the biggest reason I'm stuck between the two.

Price quoted by the BigWing showroom

I'm looking at the DLX Pro/top-end versions. This is the exact quotation I received, so if anyone has recently purchased one, please let me know if these numbers look reasonable or if there is room for negotiation.

CB350C DLX Pro

- Ex-showroom: ₹2,00,639

- Road tax + registration + smart card: ₹41,650

- Insurance: ₹13,179

- Extended warranty +1 year: ₹1,999

- RTI optional: ₹1,125

- On-road quoted: ₹2,57,467

H'ness CB350 DLX Pro

- Ex-showroom: ₹1,95,939

- Road tax + registration + smart card: ₹40,711

- Insurance: ₹13,090

- Extended warranty +1 year: ₹1,999

- RTI optional: ₹1,125

- On-road quoted: ₹2,51,739

So according to the showroom quotation, the CB350C is around ₹5,728 more on-road than the H'ness.

If anyone has recently bought either bike, especially around Bangalore, could you please share your final on-road price and breakup? I want to compare the quotation properly and understand where I can negotiate.

They said they can give 10% discount on accessories, but no direct discount on the motorcycle was mentioned.

I'm particularly interested in knowing whether I should negotiate:

- Insurance

- Extended warranty

- Accessories

- RSA

- Any dealer/handling charges

- Registration-related charges

I don't mind paying for things that are genuinely required, but I don't want to unnecessarily add ₹20–30k worth of accessories just because they're offering a discount.

I also asked about the CB350C Special Edition, but they said there is currently a waiting period of a few months.

Accessories I'm considering

I don't want to load the bike with unnecessary accessories. Currently thinking about:

- Backrest + carrier

- Crash guard

- Engine guard

- Knuckle guards

- Visor

I initially wanted a short visor on the CB350C, but the showroom said the short visor isn't available/suitable and only the long visor can be fitted. Is that actually the case, or are dealers just pushing the long visor?

For people who recently bought from BigWing:

What kind of discount can realistically be negotiated?

Should I ask for accessories free/included instead of a straight discount?

Insurance / warranty

The showroom also gave me different warranty options:

- Standard warranty: 3 years

- 3+1: ₹1,999

- 3+2: around ₹3,500

- 3+3: around ₹4,000

They also quoted comprehensive insurance, but the premium is without zero depreciation.

I'm planning to ask them whether they can reduce the insurance premium or give zero-dep at a better price.

Would appreciate advice on:

- Whether extended warranty is worth taking

- Which warranty period makes sense

- Whether dealer insurance is worth taking or if I should get insurance separately

- What charges/accessories I should negotiate or remove

Finally — CB350C vs H'ness

For someone who wants one bike for daily commuting + weekend rides + occasional long-distance touring, which would you choose?

I'm currently slightly leaning towards the CB350C, mainly because I loved the bulky classic design and how smooth it felt during the ride. But the H'ness exhaust note is seriously tempting me.

If you own either one, especially if you've done long rides/touring, I'd really appreciate your experience.

Also, if you've recently purchased a CB350/CB350C/H'ness from BigWing, please share what you paid on-road and what discounts/accessories you managed to get.

I'm trying to finalise the bike and negotiate the deal properly before booking, so any advice would be really helpful!

Hi everyone,

I've been researching ergonomic chairs for the past few weeks, and what started as an ₹8,000 budget has now increased to around ₹17,000–18,000 because I realized this is something I'll be using for 8–10 hours every day, and I'd rather invest in my spine and long-term comfort than regret buying a cheaper chair.

**A little about me:**

1. Height: **5'11" (180 cm)**

2. Weight: **84–85 kg**

3. Profession: Senior Software Engineer

4. Usage: **8–10 hours/day (WFH + Hybrid)**

5. Looking for a chair that I can comfortably use for the next **5+ years.**

**My priorities:**

**1.** Good lumbar support

2. Seat slider (thigh support is important)

3. Comfortable for long coding sessions

4. Reliable build quality

5. Good after-sales service & spare parts availability

6. Long-term durability over flashy features

After a lot of research, I've shortlisted these three:

**1. Featherlite Liberate**

**2. Godrej Greta 2.0 High Back**

**3. SuperErgo Specialist**

**My thoughts so far:**

**1. Featherlite Liberate** seems to have a strong. long-term reputation and is often recommended as a safe choice.

**2. Godrej Greta 2.0** looks feature-rich and comes from an established office furniture brand with service support.

**3. SuperErgo Specialist** has excellent features and reviews, but I also found discussions suggesting it may be based on an OEM design from China (which I'm not saying is necessarily bad). My concern is whether the premium over similar OEM products is justified in terms of quality control, warranty, and service.

I'd really appreciate feedback **from people who actually own or have used these chairs**, especially **after 6 months to 2+ years of usage.**

**Some questions I have:**

1. Which one has been the most comfortable for long. work sessions?

2. Any issues with mesh sagging, seat foam, lumbar support, gas lift, or armrests over time?

3. How has the after-sales service been?

4. If you had to buy again today around **₹17–18k**, which one would you choose and why?

I'm also open to other recommendations in this budget if you genuinely think they're better.

Thanks in advance!
