I've been riding since the mid-1980s and had the privilege of riding on 5 continents. This review is for those who live to ride, not "bikers" - so I'll leave out the looks bit - it is what it is. Handling - beautifully balanced on low and higher speeds - one wouldn't expect anything less from honda. The quality of the switchgear is average, and the monotone lcd display is functional. No rev counter, so one has to rely on feel. It wouldn't be fair to comment on the brakes, as they need to be ridden in.The suspension is very firm, and the first thing I did was to adjust the rear dual springs to their lowest setting. There is hardly any static sag on the factory settings - this will be my first upgrade.The levers are not adjustable. The ride is very firm, and the seat is as well. I will update when I take longer rides on it.The one sore point is vibration in the handlebars past 6000 revs. This wasn't noticeable on the test ride (although that was a highness - nil points for branding on that one), and will talk to the service guys soon.I have other bikes for long tours and off-road. This hits the sweet spot for leisure rides >100 kms. The other niggle is the banking indicators on the foot peg - too long (I'm certain the bike's geometry would allow a greater lean) and for some reason, they are placed towards the center of the peg. Don't know why....The exhaust note gurgles and is lovely.The biggest plus is the tall gear ratios, which reduces the need for frequent shifting. Not a commuter, or a cross-country bike imo.The accessories are limited - would like handlebar risers, engine crash guards and wider foot pegs to be offered. The engine guards they had heavy, with metal sliders!! the finish was poor - I could do better-soldering joints!!This bike should turn out to be re 350 killers....

Overall better than re in the same price range. Good looking bike with good mileage and good speed. If you want to buy this bike then I will surely recommend this. Cb350 rs can compete with sports bikes too. I don't know why people prefer re-calling it a royal thing, it is a common bike in every colony now. No one looks at it now. Roads are full of re . Hope people grow up with their royal mentality.

Tips for other riders
Keep it clean and in good condition. use branded oils and lubricants. This bike will surely pay for it when you will race with other bikes in the same price range. Go for it.

The buying experience was a breeze, honda bigwing Varanasi has a very competent staff. I was instantly smitten by the looks of the bike. They also offered a good deal on the bike.The ride quality is very nice. The engine has enough power for the number of bikes it is. The brake pads honda uses on these bikes get used up very quickly for some reason, I had to learn to use engine braking in order to prolong the life of the pads.The traction control in the bike, although very primitive in its design, it works very well in controlling the huge amount of torque the bike makes, in wet conditions. It has saved me many times when I get over-enthusiastic at the wrong moments.The bike is an eye-catcher on the road, seriously! I have been stopped twice by people just to ask about the bike. It's a rarity on the roads and that's very appealing to me.The best part of the service experience, even though it's a bit costly but they make you feel like a king. It's a breeze to service this bike.Honda bikes sold through bigwing have their separate service centers and are very well equipped compared to the standard service centers. My biggest gripe against re was their lackluster service centers.I use this bike for my daily commute and occasional long rides. I never felt that it lacks power and the mileage this bike churns out is very good, I constantly get around 38-39 in mixed highway and city riding. Cons of the bike are :The front mudguards are very short to ride in the monsoon season. I had to install an extender to survive the rainy season, otherwise, it's impossible to ride it in rain without getting my whole leg drenched in dirt and water.Although the brakes are very nice and they easily bring the bike to a standstill from triple digits speed but they lack feedback. They feel a little mushy, I suspect it's the abs of the bike that causes this.

Tips for other riders
Take good care of the chain, lube it every 500-600kms. Get a WD-40 and spray it on the rear foot pegs, as it gets stuck after the rainy season.
