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.
