Honda CB350RS Price in Patratu

Which is better, the Honda CB350 RS or the Honda H'Ness CB350?
The Honda CB350 RS and the Honda H'Ness CB350 are both 350cc retro-style motorcycles from Honda, but they have some key differences:
The CB350 RS is a more modern, sporty interpretation of the classic CB design. It features an upright riding position, rear mono-shock suspension, and a dual-channel ABS braking system. The engine is a 349cc air-cooled parallel-twin producing around 21 hp. The CB350 RS has a more aggressive, scrambler-inspired look.
In contrast, the Honda H'Ness CB350 is a more faithful retro recreation of the original CB350 from the 1960s/70s. It has a more relaxed, classic upright riding position, a simple twin-shock rear suspension, and a single-channel ABS. The engine is also a 349cc air-cooled parallel twin, but it's tuned for more low-end torque rather than outright power.
In terms of which is "better", it depends on the rider's preferences and needs. The CB350 RS is the better choice for those seeking a more modern, performance-oriented ride, while the H'Ness CB350 will appeal to riders who want a timeless, nostalgic classic motorcycle experience. Both are well-built and reliable machines, so the decision often comes down to individual style and riding requirements.

The bike is a superb piece of masterpiece. I have the blue hue edition. Fortunately, this color has been discontinued and so it has become a collector edition for Honda now.
Overall the power-to-drive ratio is good. The refinement of the engine is the best in terms of the long-stroke engine segment.
The low torque is superb and I have taken the top speed to 135 but there are friends of mine who have hit 150 also.
The cornering radius is good especially when I maneuver it into the sharp curves of the Guwahati and Shillong road.
Giving this review after riding 6200 km. I feel it's better if we get a 500 edition of the same one from Honda.
By the way, tires are very good for cornering.

Hurray! I got a 10yrs/130000km free warranty on CB350RS, as an offer from Honda for their 1 lac customer achievement for CB350. The offer started in Aug'23 and is valid for the next 10k pan India customers only.
Buying experience for CB350RS (Grey) from Honda Big Wings, Jubilee Hills was nice & smooth. I got the bike delivered within 24hrs of booking with all related documentation and accessory fitments.
I'm using CB350RS for daily (30-35km) city commute only and so far experience is extremely satisfying. CB350RS is very easy to handle on a confirmed city bike. It feels so lightweight, and powerful and provides exceptional stability on the road under heavy traffic conditions. Ride quality is so rich, that I don't feel any sort of tiredness while going to the office or back home.
Seriously, I'm loving bike riding like never before, and unknowingly this bike is forcing me to ride more or go on long tours. What an experience! - big THANKS to Honda.
CB350RS is a great value-for-money deal - as you can experience all of its torque and power at lower rpm. This bike exactly matches my requirements, I'm a low-speed rider (max 90kmph rarely) and prefer high pull/torque at low speed. This machine provides 30Nm at 3000rpm- simply Wow !! my stomach is full and I call it a "FULL PAISA WASOOL" purchase.
Sit on the bike, start it, and trust me, it will take u effortlessly anywhere. The seating posture is brilliant, with wide handles, freedom from vibrations, superb breaking, stylish & solid looks, neat, sturdy, and clean ride. I would blindly recommend this bike for office purposes, as it enhances your looks in formal wear with a laptop bag. I received so many positive compliments from my office colleagues.
CB350RS comes with 3 free services and after 1st service at 800-1000km, service intervals are at every 6000km with an expected avg cost of Rs.3500-Rs.4000, which in my opinion is justified. The average Fuel efficiency reading is around 35.4kmpl for 600+km in the city.
The only con I found is mirror placement, doesn't matter how I adjust it, I can't see the vehicle just behind me (vehicles appear magically from behind), and side viewing is good enough. Rest all, anyone can ride & handle it easily from 1st attempt/from 1st km onwards.
