For close to 3 laks on road, I'd expect around 35 NM torque and min 25 BHP with 6 gears (long stroke engine or not) Also I'd expect USD front forks. Apart from these points, its mostly perfect. Honda should've done that for RS model even if it meant an increase of 30-40k.
bought myself hness cb 350 yesterday after careful inspection of both cb 350 rs and hness. I know on paper the difference isn't much but I kid you not the hness legacy edition looks far more premium and muscular than the new hue edition bikes. The near empty showroom visit near khardaha bt road Kolkata, just before Diwali gave me ample time to judge impartially between the two and it has cemented my already existing notion that Honda makes less money on selling a hness when compared with the cb350rs. whatever money they make less on highness is added upon rs ..... This strategy I imagine is to compete with RE Classics. By the way the exhaust is astonishingly loud...
I agree. But rs is a different pattern than hness. The former is more of a retro hybrid cafe racer and the later is a Neo retro classic. Both have their own fan base so can't really classify as one better than the other (effectively they have the same engine just a bit tuned to serve their own individual purposes).
Honda already started to imitate royal enfild in all aspect because long stroke parallel engine the sound as same as bullet. It also 350cc but in terms of looks quite different. Honda's motive is to destroy the Royal Enfild market in this catagory but nothing happen. None can defeat the sale of Royal enfild. Near future honda will compel to discontinue the production.
This is the Color Design is what we usally associate with legacy Retro bikes Scrambler Bikes pf 1970s 80s etc This is the right color. Present day so many variant colors kind.of feminise Bike colors..
gear shifting is so bad...it should two way push back and front..but its only one at front side push. by straight sitting it is not posible to gear up easily .you must leaned each gear shift time.its so bad
