The Jawa 42 2.1-rivalling retro roadster was launched in February
Last month, Honda surprised us with the launch of the CB350RS, a slightly sportier alternative to the H’Ness CB350. Now, Big Wing Honda has announced that deliveries for the bike have begun across the country. Priced at Rs 1.96 lakh onwards (ex-showroom Delhi), the RS is Rs 3,500 dearer than the DLX Pro variant of the H’Ness. The bike is available in a single variant and two colour options -- a single-tone Radiant Metallic Red and a dual-tone Black with Pearl Sports Yellow. The dual-tone paint scheme costs Rs 2,000 more than the single-tone.
Honda H’ness CB350 - Road Test Review
The Honda CB350RS is powered by the same 348.3cc, single-cylinder air-cooled engine as that of the H’Ness, churning out 21.07PS at 5500rpm and 30Nm at 3000rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. While it still gets first-in-segment features like slipper clutch, traction control, and even the same part-digital instrument console as that of the H’Ness, it misses out on Bluetooth connectivity and USB charging.
The bike comes with a 6-year warranty package, including a 3-year standard warranty and a 3-year extended warranty (optional). Currently, the Honda CB350RS has only one rival in the Jawa 42 2.1, which we think is Jawa’s A-Game. Here’s why. And, if you are wondering how the CB350RS fares, watch out for our review dropping soon.
Honda CB350RS User Reviews
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.Read More
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 bikesRead More
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.Read More
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.Read More
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.Read More
