Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Is it good for long solo rides, compared to Husqvarna svartpilen 250?
  • 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.
  • Yes. Very stable and smooth on highways. No vibrations at all even at 140kmph
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. Which one is best Benelli TRK 502 or Versys 650?
  • I think, there was a comparison video done by Overdrive.. Check in YouTube. Being a Versys 650 owner, I would not prefer TRK502 due to its weight, under power engine, reliability issues and past history of the brand Benelli in India. You must look between V-Strom 650 and Versys 650 if you are in market to buy one.
  • At present, it would not be possible to provide a fruitful comparison as the TRK 502 is yet to be launched. So we would suggest you to wait till the brand reveals the complete details of the TRK 502. Stay tuned.

    comfortable partner for all journeys 

    My CB350RS is choice of my father he gifted me on my birthday. I love its aesthetic, comfortable riding posture, and engaging performance that's perfect for cruising and occasional sporty rides. It mileage is around 30-35 kmpl in the city and up to 40 kmpl on the highway which is not that much i expected from it .The CB350RS has a claimed top speed of over 150 kmph which is very fast . The CB350RS is slightly more expensive than other in this segment .

    My Honda CB350RS Experience 

    After months of research and quite a few test rides, I decided to go with the Honda CB350RS. Right off the bat, the styling caught my eye it is sleek with a mix of modern and retro that complements its performance quite well. Powering this beauty is a 348 cc engine that pushes out 20 horsepower, which is more than enough for city rides and occasional highway sprints.Initially, I was attracted by its notable torque of 30 Nm which makes climbing hills a breeze. However, it’s not just about power, the CB350RS also offers a comfortable ride thanks to its well cushioned seat and nicely positioned handlebars.

    comfortable partner for all journeys 

    My Honda CB350RS is a bike in the classic roadster style, recently launched by Honda bikes and India (HMSI) in India. It targets riders seeking a bike with a balance of classic looks, modern performance, and everyday usability. Generally it contains a engine of 348.36cc. This riding position is suitable for rider comfort on both short and long rides. It can also contain one pillion passenger comfortably.It lacks additional safety features like airbags or traction control that might be found in bigger bikes.

    Stock tyres 

    Its a very good touring machine mostly tarmac friendly.The stock tyres are useless so as the stock headlight.The seat height is the biggest concern also the seat is wide which makes more comfort but flat footing both side impossible for anyone below 5.10.The ride quality and comfort is wonderful and i wish it had traction control which will make is a good allrounder.I can tell you that versys is one of the best touring bike currently available in market at this price band.If someone is looking for a good tourer for road use then versys is the best bet and if you are looking for bit of off-road then v-storm 650 looks better.
