CB350 RS vs CB300F | Detailed comparison

[@balanandg991]

I have purchased the Pro model on 31/03/2023 with a discount of Rs 64,000/- thereby costing me around 1,99,000/- on road which also includes extended warranty for the engine (Insurance was done by myself extra Rs.5,500/-). I was sceptic about the mileage and performance as the engine was new and that its power was just 24.1 bhp and 25.6 nm of torque against the 293 cc, though it's sharp, sculpted racing looks were appealing. However, I found its 4 valve engine powerful enough as its power to weight ratio was awesome with its kerb weight of just 153 kgs. It is a bliss to drive in city as it is nimble and agile with nice ground clearance and a small turning radius and ofcourse it is fully loaded with features like Golden USD forks, Dual channel ABS, Radial tyres, Selectable Traction control, Slipper clutch, Full LED setup with Hazard lights, Full Digital display with BT connectivity, Gear position indicator, Distance to empty, Real time mileage, Side stand auto cut off, C type Charging port, ofcourse the Glide through technology (bike moves slowly when on gear with out giving acceleration when clutch is not given) and last but not least with saddle at just 789cm and ground clearance of 177cm which is very impressive. I joined a couple of my friends with their RE Himalayan on highways and some intermittent villages for a day trip of 300 kms with a few places of halts. It was before the 1 st service and hence kept it between 70 and 80 kmph. I was surprised to get around 43-44 kmpl. Though the suspensions were a bit on a tougher side, I never felt fatigue or a sore arm. Later, I checked in the city and found it to give about 32 kmpl which is too good. I had its first service done after 500 kms at the Bigwing (for premium bikes) and was charged Rs.2,000/- which included the replacement of engine oil, oil filter, O ring and also chain lubrication. Now I am getting around 33-34 kmpl in city and have to take it for long distances to see how much it is going to give now? Just waiting for the summer to end... :). After my 1st service, I had joined a day trip of about 200 kms (both ways-half the distance highway and the rest through rough patches) with a female pillion rider, cruised around 70-90 kmph, tested the top speed a couple of times with pillion rider and got 136 kmph on speedo 👍 and could get about 40 kmpl from the trip. For now I am feeling great with the bike and it's service, have to see in the long run...but again Honda is renowned for its life and service. One downside I felt very bad is....there is very little options for aftermarket accessories and Honda doesn't even have an engine guard for this model. Probably Honda is no more interested in this model due to low sales. I guess still it is definitely a better option in comparison to Gixer 250, FZ 25 and even Dominar 250 for that matter as to price (atleast at the discounted price), power, features and owner's satisfaction.

[@uday0001g]

What problems did your bike face after a year?

[@altamashghayas9421]

Booked CB300F😍

[@balanandg991]

Thanks bro ... beautifully explained unbiased review 👍 but with this current discount of Rs 64,000/- you will definitely change your verdict and one thing is you missed commenting on the switchable traction control, the USD fork and other features that the CB350RS is missing over the CB300F...tnq

[@mohammedzeeshan6958]

Thats very informative way of explaining the engine's specs and the differnece between both of them

[@prashantgautam4871]

Can the rear monoshock be changed ? If so , which company rear monoshock will be better? Less people talk about upright sitting and shock absorption in india roads which are by default bumpy roads. I have found cbz extreme shock absorber most comfortable. Can those be installed in this.

[@abhirupdas1876]

Don't you think CB 350 RS should have USD suspension?

[@mayank.c1997]

Yes

[@PriyasVlogsss]

thats sport spcl feature not cruiser

[@sssantanu]

Back pain issue is there in cb350 hness, what dobyou think?

[@vagjagan]

Bro, for city usage, Bangalore 40kms per day , amidst heavy traffic.which is better ?? mileage not an issue.

[@theindianteacher]

Guys! Running through confusion TVS RONIN or CB 350 RS or H’ness ?? I am not able to buy coz I am confused but can’t wait anymore!!

[@mohanram7450]

Go for cb350rs

[@allendenjel2478]

Please make a video on cb350rs vs Hero Mavrick. Which would be a better deal?

[@prashantgautam4871]

What about shock absorber stiffness cure for cb300f.

[@Farhan_049]

If we compare the Hunter Dapper White and CB350RS, which one is the more economical choice, especially for long term usage?🤔 I'll be riding it in the city 99% of the time and I don't do tours, not yet at least. And I'm gonna upgrade from my Dad's Bajaj Discover 100 - just putting it out in case it makes a difference.

[@bharathmedala]

Get the cb300f and u will be shocked by its power..

[@Farhan_049]

@@bharathmedala Dude, I'm a slow rider!😂 I haven't gone above 50 km/h on my Dad's Discover 100! That being said, the CB300F does seem like the safest bike on offering right now.

[@siann5198]

Brother, hunter is very nice bike it's light weight and affordable actually. Cb350rs is pricey but hunter will never give u tht feel wht a biker can expects from it and Honda means it's longest time investment, u cn keep it for minimum more thn 15 years. Hunter is 1 or 2 years of investment. And reliability, durability, refinement, performance, economy everything u will get it from cb350rs.

[@PriyasVlogsss]

As per convenience but ❤Honda trust❤

[@SH-yx6yl]

the most sad part is that most of your content only revolve around 300 cc bike or above it, you are not at all concerned about giving feedback on commuter bikes like 100 cc or 125cc or 150 cc or 200cc or 250 cc try to cover that

[@autocritic]

Sure brother, sorry about that ..will work on it

[@AlmostGod007]

Woh gareeb logon ko bhaav nahi deta 😂

[@subrata6830]

Honda HINESS good bike. 14500 KM RIDE KEYA 1 VI PROBLEM NEHI AYA HE.

[@sanket3world]

Arey yaar... Sarey videos dekh liye but still confused between CB350 RS and Highness.

[@cifer09]

RS looks better and has a better rear tyre.

[@nitinkalal8720]

Go for rs

[@shikhar5300]

Wheel base of cb300r is short so on high speed it's not very stable

[@vikasshelke5544]

300 is lost opportunity by Honda from day one , it awas proper upgrade over cbr250 , instead they made naked version with unjustifable price . 300 cc Kawasaki , Yamaha are exoensive but proper bikes for defined segment .
