2023 Honda CB350RS- What’s new?

The Honda CB350RS recently received an update for 2023 wherein it came with a number of changes for the new model year. So before, you head to check out the motorcycle at one of the BigWing showrooms, let us tell you everything that is new on the 2023 CB350RS. 

New colour

Honda is offering the CB350RS in a choice of four colours. While it was already available in Athletic Blue, a dual-tone Red and Black colour as well as the Yellow and Black paint scheme, the 2023 model is also offered in Mat Massive Grey Metallic. This paint is available on the base DLX variant.

Different seat

To offer more comfort on the CB350RS, Honda has kitted the motorcycle with a different seat which is claimed to have better cushioning. It also gets a different pattern that lends a more retro appeal. Unlike its sibling though, the CB350RS still comes with a single seat. 

Slight visual changes

Along with a different seat, the CB350RS comes with slight changes like a black piece on its mirror that gives it a refreshed appeal. In addition to this, the motorcycle also gets an aluminium-finished handlebar as standard.

Two custom packages

Also new for 2023 is the custom accessory kits that transform the scrambler-style motorcycle to a café racer or something with more convenience. However, you could also add the parts from the Hness CB350’s kit to add flair or added touring abilities.

Increased pricing

For the changes and inclusion of the OBD-2 updates, Honda has hiked the price of the CB350RS by Rs 11,000. The base DLX variant costs Rs 2.14 lakh while the DLX Pro and DLX Pro Dual Tone costs Rs 2.17 lakh each. 

No changes in hardware

No changes have been made to the Honda CB350RS’ engine as it continues with a 348cc, single-cylinder motor that is capable of churning out 20.78bhp and 30Nm. It rides on telescopic forks up front and dual-shocks at the rear with a 19-17 inch wheel combo.
