Honda CB350 RS Review

The Scrambler from Honda's stable..
The CB350 RS is practically a CB350 H'ness with slight styling tweaks.
It shares the same engine, chassis, fuel tank, front wheel, brakes and lots of other stuffs. But, what's different is they have change, the seat, rear grab rail, back light unit to give it the 'Scrambler looks'. And to complement the new seat and rear fender setup a smaller diameter 17inch wheel is added with a wider 150 section monoblock thread pattern tyre. The side cover is also replaced with a plastic version with a different profile. Then, to give it a proper Scrambler riding position a lower handle bar is added and a blacked out footrest holder with slightly raised and rear set foot pegs. The exhaust has also been blackened out and raised slightly to complement the whole Scrambler looks.
At the front, the round headlight box is changed slightly although the actual headlight assembly remains the same. A rubber fork boot and shorter front fender is also added to complete the looks.
The RS comes with two color variants.. Mono tone ( which is red with black stripe) and Dual tone ( Black and yellow). There's roughly ₹1000 difference between them.
Well, all these slight styling changes makes a whole lot of difference in the way the bike handles corners. It has transformed a comfortable cruiser to great corner curving tool and an added bonus of the capability to tackle bad roads and go off roading as well ( hence the addition of aluminum bash plate to protect the chassis).
One of our favorite changes is the revised riding position and the MRF KURVE tyres at both ends. This two changes transforms the bike's handling as well as gives it a much better cornering clearance.
Honda has cleverly provided 2 totally different bikes with a slight styling changes, saving them a lot of money on R&D .
