Honda launched the CB350 range of motorcycles last year. The Honda H’ness CB350 came in two variants and were priced at Rs 1.86 lakh for the Deluxe model and Rs 1.92 lakh for the Deluxe Pro. The CB350RS on the other hand was launched this year and priced at Rs 1.98 lakh. So what sets these two motorcycles apart? Read on Honda H’ness CB350 vs Honda CB350RS: The design details The H’ness was envisaged at a retro cruiser and aimed straight at the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and the Jawa range of motorcycles. Hence, the H’ness came with a rather retro design and lots of chrome bits. The front and rear fenders were made of metal and draped in chrome. The headlight and winkers were all LEDs and featured a chrome finish. Even the tail light cluster was mounted on the rear fender. The grab rail was a simple affair and was mounted on the seat back. The seat was a long one and offered good comfort for rider and pillion. The CB350RS on the other hand has done away with all the chrome bits and comes with plastic fenders. The lights are now feature blacked out surrounds. Thanks to the new rear end design, the seat is new too. The grab rail is also modern and sits on the side. The fuel tank design and capacity remains the same. The side panels on the other hand are different on the CB350RS. Other features which have gone missing on the CB350RS include Bluetooth connectivity and a phone charger. Interesting considering the RS is the more expensive of the two.
