Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is better between Honda CB350RS or Royal Enfield Continental GT 650?
  • Both the bikes are good in their own forte. the CB350RS seems like a bit of a missed opportunity from Honda. It could have used the capable foundations of the H’ness to create a more unique motorcycle with a more well-defined identity that would’ve appealed to an entirely new and different audience. Instead, it’s taken this middle-of-the-road approach and created a halfway house that we find hard to recommend to anyone except museum curators. On the other hand, the Continental GT 650 is a fun-to-ride cafe racer. The GT’s sporty riding position makes it much more suitable for twisty mountain roads and even high-speed straight-line blasts. To top things off, the twin-cylinder motor provides the performance and refinement that the 535 simply couldn’t. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.
Q. Is it good for long solo rides, compared to Husqvarna svartpilen 250?
  • Yes. Very stable and smooth on highways. No vibrations at all even at 140kmph
  • Honda CB350RS offers a different riding posture than that of Husqy. You do have to lean forward a bit to reach the bars, and the lower body is a bit more cramped than on the H’ness. While this certainly isn’t an uncomfortable position, it does mean that you will be tired out that little bit earlier when you go for longer stints out on the highway. Apart from this, the CB350RS offers excellent ride quality. The RS flattens out bumps superbly and remains quite composed at most times. With the sportier appearance and aspirations, you’d expect this bike to be a sharper handler than the H’ness. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
