Honda CB350 RS price and comparison with CB350 Highness
Last year in 2020 Dec the honda launched the CB350 platform the first bike was called the highness and Now honda launch one more bike on the same platform name CB350RS. Now RS stands for road sailing, make of that what you will but it essentially means that this is still a relaxed motorcycle to ride. and it's everything underneath the skin the platform is more or less the same as the highness.
Honda CB350 RS Design
Honda CB 350RS wherein RS stands for road sailing. The Honda CB 350RS creating a lot of hype since the day it got a surprise launch, the launch of the cb350 highness which was a proper classy roadster to take on the likes of the Royal Enfield classic 350. Now, this is a more modern sportier-looking rendition of the Honda CB350 highness.
I love the way it looks. Anyone who loves kind of the modern retro look will fall in love with this, this motorcycle also is a well-encapsulated led tail lamp. also have led turn indicators.CB350RS get new tires from mrf these are block pattern tires for on-road off-road usage so kind of a scrambler feels to it but it's not a proper scrambler because it doesn't have long-travel suspension nor does it have increased ground clearance whatever ground clearance it has is kind of sufficient. I also like the fit and finish. The seat looks super-premium. The ripped pattern seat again is different for the RS when compared to that of the CB350 Highness. the 350RS gets this kind of a sportier-looking.
Honda CB350 RS Engine Specs
Honda CB 350RS power plant remains the new 350 cc Air Cooled, 4 Stroke OHC single cylinder fuel injected b6 compliant engine. It puts out around 21 ps of max power and 30-newton meters of max torque 5-speed gearbox, it also is more refined thanks to the balancer shaft that they've added, in there so another thing change is the blacked-out silencer slightly lifted up and you have the chrome heat shield which again makes the offering a little more premium and upmarket. you have a single disc at the back and a massive 310 mm disc at the front hubless disc gives a really premium feel Nissan caliper and dual-channel abs come as standard. we cannot turn off ABS it's not switchable,
you do get hit with this which is honda's traction control system, so what is traction control it kind of prevents excess wheel spin from happening when you really violently give throttle inputs so that is a very good safety feature. another change it doesn't get the navigation module it doesn't get the USB charging port but apart from that, everything else remains the same you get the slipper clutch which is feather-light in terms of feel and feedback, you get a high beam flasher this is the headlight on-off switch and high beam flasher trigger kind. Right here horn switch is right here and the indicator switches right here so it's kind of something awkward because usually you get the indicator here and the horn down so it takes a little getting used to but once you get used to it that's all fine you also get an integrated engine kill switch with a starter button which is really good.
Raiding overview CB 350RS
The bike also has a dual throttle cable for seamless smooth consistent throttle response across the rev band so that really helps another important change with the CB350RS. The ergonomics, so you can see the footpegs are centrally set or slightly rare set and moved upwards slightly also the handlebar, is slightly shorter and wider so this gives the perfect kind of a street control feel. The city streets it's absolute fun and an absolute delight to ride.
Price
The Honda CB350 RS has priced at rupees 1.96 lakhs for the solid red color and 1.98 lakh for this lovely black and yellow combination that puts it about 10000 Rupees higher than the highness.
