Honda CB350RS Price

The Honda CB350RS is priced at Rs 1,96,000 (ex-showroom pan-India). It is pricier than the top-end DLX Pro variant of the Honda H’Ness CB350 by Rs 3,500. The bike is available in two colour schemes: Black with Pearl Sports Yellow and Radiant Red Metallic.

Honda CB350RS Features

The Honda CB350RS comes with a sportier riding position thanks to the slightly rear-set footpegs, and a new tuck-and-roll seat that's a little wider than the one on the H'Ness CB350. Shorter riders may find the new seat a little uncomfortable. The bike features an all-LED lighting system and a semi-digital instrument cluster showing details like real-time and average mileage, distance to empty, gear position, battery voltage, and other regular data. Interestingly, the bike misses out on dual horn setup, USB port and smartphone-compatible turn-by-turn navigation feature -- all standard on the DLX Pro model of the Honda H’Ness CB350. It also features a switchable traction control system, toe-only gear shift lever, hazard lamps function, and a dual-channel ABS. The brake pedal is different from the one in the H'Ness CB350, and so are the front and rear fenders. For a stealthy look, the engine casing is finished in matte.

Honda CB350RS Engine

The Honda CB350RS is powered by the same engine as its retro sibling. The 348.36cc single-cylinder engine is air-cooled, fuel-injected and counterbalanced. It produces 21.07PS at 5500rpm and 30Nm at 3000rpm. The motor works in conjunction with a 5-speed gearbox with assist-and-slipper clutch.

It is wrapped with a 100-section front and 150-section rear mild-off-road tyres. At 179kg kerb, the bike is 2kg lighter than the H’Ness CB350.
