                • Honda CB350RS

                  • The neo-retro design has been executed very well and the bike looks pretty good
                  • Engine is very smooth and refined, with no vibrations felt even at higher speeds
                  • Brakes are very responsive and provide good feedback

                  • The engine makes decent amount of power
                  • The kerb is quite low at 129kg, which makes it easy to manage while off-roading
                  • At 270mm, the ground clearance is quite high
                • Honda CB350RS

                  • Is quite a bit expensive when compared to its rivals
                  • Lacks a distinct flavour, and feels like just a slightly altered variant of the CB350 H’ness
                  • Engine lacks the bottom end torque expected from a long stroke motor

                  Kawasaki KLX230R S

                  • The suspension setup is the same as the road legal version.

                  the best liability i have bought
                  I chose this bike because I liked its retrospective and a twitch of modern blend along with very comfortable riding position and smooth firing of engine. Really good for everyday commute in city and a bit long weekend rides. The ride has been smooth and comfortable, especially on the roads, the handling feels stable and has enough power for highways. Mileage is descent as I already have experienced hunter 350 and overall the bike gives emense pleasure while driving. Yes, I would recommend it to someone who is really into bike and not into some name hypes, also who is interested in for stylish daily commuting bike as well as weekend rides. Perfect for the ones who love relaxed crusing.

                  The underated in classic segment
                  While i saw many 350 cc bikes and i think this the most compatible 350cc bike and you can never disagree with honda reliability, overall the best 350 cc in classic segment among bikes like Enfield and yezdi. Its been great so far the bike is giving pretty good, mileage and the comfort has been no issue for me when long run great, the only problem i had the power drop over the years and thats the only one. Yeah for sure for those people who really are interested in classic segment, don't get your mind confused by going with bullet all this should be in your list for you to be considered cause you have to ride your bikes

                  CB350rs review
                  I chose this bike because mainly my routes are on highways and ofcourse, because of the japanese reliability honda offers, plus it's the best bike in the segment in my opinion as it gets a fair amount of safety features like traction control, dual channel abs and because of the slipper clutch provided, gear changing and overall the engine is butter smooth. Also it gives the best mileage in the segment too, as I have ridden a classic 350 before, I can definitely tell the difference. Rides are butter smooth, it's like the bike is gliding, absolutely 0 vibration, it's not that comfortable as the hness 350 as it has a more aggressive riding stanc than the hness, but it's fairly comfortable, not that bad, the only thing bugs me are the stock seats, it's very uncomfortable for the pillion and your rear may hurt a little on long rides, but overall I'll rate it a 4/5, which is not bad at all. If you want the best looking neo retro bike in the segment, the cb350 RS is for you hands down, it has great mileage, very low maintenance cost, fairly comfortable (change the stock seats) and it feels rarer than other bikes in the segment as the BigWing network is so limited, and that gives you the satisfaction you need.

                  Excellent Bike
                  I must say, it is a very good bike at this range because of the mileage and the power. The comfort of this bike is also top notch. I would recommend this bike to my friends. Also the engine is very good. So good. Now I am planning to taking the bike to Kozhikode. The comfort of this bike is very good. The mileage of this bike is around 35 kmpl. The power of this bike is outstanding in compared to other bikes. The mileage and the power of this bike is top notch at this range. The comfort of this bike is also great. The power of the engine is also very impressive at this range. So yeah, I would recommend this bike to everyone.

                  Smooth Engine, Great Looks, Efficient Mileage!!
                  I was willing to go in 160cc or above. I took test drive, the engine smoothness and stunning look are the 2 key factors. Apart from that Cb350rs has better mileage than speed 400 and price range is also lower comparatively. Better than Triumph in mileage and better than RE in performance. It’s suited for those who are willing to do rides on weekends and wants to use as daily commute as well. Highway ride is better compared to city. Still having 350cc with dual channels abs helps you out manoeuvre others and gives extra edge while breaking. City mileage between 33.5 to 36 kmpl and highway mileage varies between 38 to 44 kmpl, depending on riding style and roads.

                  Great dirt bike.
                  Smooth and agile. Definitely worth the cost. However the maintenance cost is high, but given that it’s a dirt bike meant for performance it is worth it. Very light weight which even makes it easier to manoeuvre and the slimmer frame doesn’t let you feel the height of the bike. Has total efficiency. Definitely a must have for mx racers or dirt bike enthusiasts.

                  KLX is a versatile off-road machine , Like its competitors, the KLX230R S dirt bike was made for casual riders who prefer lightweight, compact, and reasonable machines. Its single-cylinder engine delivers 20 horsepower of smooth, predictable output, ideal for beginners and seasoned riders alike. Coupled with a 6-speed transmission, shifting becomes effortless regardless of the environment. It's not only the engine that makes the Kawasaki stand out. Shorter riders will appreciate the adjustable seat height which offers more maneuverability on tricky trails. Luckily, suspension performance does not take a hit with the adjusted seat height. Despite standing out in numerous areas, Kawasaki did not compromise on the STD S features as well. the KLX230R extremely easy to control on tight trails. Alongside the lightweight chassis, equally tuned suspension further improves maneuverability through woods and single tracks. Effortless steering is paired with equally dependable brakes in the form of a 213mm front disc and a 186mm rear disc which prevent control from being lost when rapid cuts are made. The build quality is impressive and there is little need for upkeep, which makes it a plus for beginner riders.
