Bro confused between Honda CB350rs and Suzuki Vstorm 250 SX. Looking for weekend rides and around 200-500+ km rides once monthly. Also looking forward to have a ladakh trip once with the bike. Mostly I ride in city + traffic for work daily. Love the comfortable touring capability of Vstorm 250 but like the engine+looks of CB350rs but I understand it's a cafe racer - cruiser.
@@kayaeki Both are extremely good motorcycles from extremely reliable brands. You cannot go wrong with either of them. I will pick the CB350 RS just for the additional displacement and weight - it offers amazing stability on highways and everywhere in general.
Bro please suggest me, my first preference is to buy cb350rs in terms of reliability and refinement. What about tour with pillion and special in incline road? Im looking for enjoyable ride, specially feel, engine sound, breaks, clutch, exhaust sound, crusing at 80-100 kmph. Should i go with Duke 250 or some otherone??
@@anmolminz5292 If pillion comfort is a priority, the H’ness CB350 or the standard CB350 would be a better choice than the RS, as the RS isn’t designed with pillion comfort in mind. Also, if you're 5’9” or taller, the Scrambler 400X is worth considering
Bro vitpilen 250 2024 model or cb350rs...i am very confused because the price is same... vitpilen has features with futuristic looks but cb has smoothness....very confused bro i am almost 6 ft....which is value for money... please help bro🙏
600 kms range is mad man! It's like a biker can actually enjoy the views instead of continually filtering the vision for the sight of a petrol station! Has Stallion's mileage gotten better after the first service?
Hello again, Joy. Absolutely, baba. The tank range is too good, however there's a catch..you have to ride in Eco mode, without too many abrupt throttle inputs. Honestly, Stallion's mileage hasn't changed in any way since Day 1, it always gives a mileage over 30kmpl no matter how you ride.. if you ride Eco then above 37kmpl..always.
@@Francis2001 I understand. I genuinely feel it is not a money eater. The parts are premium, no or less breakdown issues, ever. Plus, you can rely on a Honda. Hope you make your purchase soon 😇
Bro i bought cb 350rs 7 days ago,, today when i was in traffic,, smoke was coming out from the bike ,, i was on my way to showroom to attach number plate on my bike,,, only 25 kms i have rode so far,, nothing to worry na,, servicing boy said that it's a new bike ,, you have to ride it,, he said nothing to worry
hey, Jack. Was the smoke coming from the engine area of the motorcycle? Was the color white? If yes, that may be because you were stuck in heavy traffic for a long time during the motorcycle run-in period. Nothing to worry about, I have had occasions of that. Also, what is the temperature of where you live, in cold temperatures also this may happen, again I had some instances. Performance has never been impacted though.
@@StallionRides ya smoke was coming out from engine area,, ya bro colour was white,, hmmmm ,, ok,,, I'm from Guwahati, Assam i didn't check the temperature today,, ou achcha,, ok bro ,, thank you for your time 😀
Hey an year ago when I bought even I had same issue. Saw smoke kind. Its because of the polishing of engine. After using it fr few weeks, it will stop..
Bro, did you face any issue while climbing Khardung La,? And, will there be any issues if I ride kardung la having the pillion with me... Please let me know
Hello, Rohit. I climbed Khardung La twice, once solo and once with a pillion. Didn’t experience any issues, and this was done even before the ECU update, after the ECU update the performance has only improved.
Hello there. Yes, please. The 150/70/17 section rear tyre offers really good grip and traction on wet and slippery roads. Have done monsoon Goa and Meghalaya ride too.. no challenges.
Hello there. During this ride specifically, I was riding in the ECO mode as much as possible on every gear. The cruising speed mostly was 90kmph and occasionally would do 100-110kmph. There wasn't any petrol pump in this region and hence wanted to make the petrol last. I can guarantee that the Speed 400 will not be a comfortable or reliable machine for long rides, it's too small, plus has a high compression, high revving engine. You might want to wait for the Scrambler 400. My point is, even before the Speed 400 or Scrambler, we had machines like the Duke 390, Dominar, the Interceptor twins, the Adventure 390, etcetera-- still some of us did not purchase it. Why? Because we know that those machines are not as reliable or we don't trust them like we trust Honda. If you are looking for SPEED (that is you want to ride fast) don't purchase the Honda CB350 RS. If you want a reliable, long-term performing, hassle-free, big motorcycle, that will chug many miles comfortably at a speed of 100-110kmph, then just buy the Honda.
Hello there, Keith. During the Ladakh ride, the motorcycle was in stock condition, no accessories. Handle Bar Risers - I genuinely do not feel the need of it. Infact I enjoy the slight lean the handle bar offers, gives me better control and I love this posture. Also, I feel adding risers will mess slightly with the handling of the machine. Apart from that, a few months ago, I added the below accessories. 1. Motorcycle Handle Crash Bar 2. HJG Series Fog Lights ( you need aux lights for sure, the standard lights are not useful in the dark) 3. Sans Classic Parts - Engine Sump Guard/ Bash Plate 4. Sans Classic Parts - Carrier without backrest 5. Sans Classic Parts - Headlight Grill 6. Sans Classic Parts - Saddle Stay This shop Sans is in Karol Bagh, Delhi. www.sansclassicparts.com/search?q=Honda Hope this helps :)
Hello to you, Sanjai. Honestly, it depends on the overall fitness and willingness of the pillion to be a pillion on long distance rides. To me, all motorcycles are capable of being ridden with a willing pillion. My apologies for the late response. I am travelling at the moment.
Awesome man, Hey I am also thinking to buy this beast can you tell me does this bike can effortlessly climb steep roads with fully loaded luggage or did you face any trouble.
Hello to you, Sachin. Yes, please. The motorcycle will effortlessly climb steep roads with luggage and a pillion. Tried and tested. All you need to ensure is to be on the right gear, the engine loves to be on the boil, it's like I use 1st gear for a speed up to 30kmph, 2nd gear for up to 45-50kmph, 3rd gear from 45-90kmph, and 4th gear almost always after 90kmph. 5th gear is only for cruising. You should be able to climb steep roads effortlessly on the first 3 gears depending on the degree of incline :) Hope that helps. Hey, thank you for watching :)
Hello there, Krishna. Comfortable for long rides - Yes, I have done over 1000kms in a day. Experienced no back pain, bum pain ;) , shoulder pain, leg pain. Handle Bar Risers - I don't need them, I totally love the riding posture. A bit of lean gives more connect to the machine and roads, it's a more fulfilling experience if you ask me. Plus, I must say, the stock seats are just perfect. Hope that helps :) Hey, thank you for watching :)
Hello there, Madhan. Thank you for sharing. What can I say, it's a beautiful machine 😃 Where are you from by the way, and where did you do the 550km ride?
What is the BEST MILEAGE you ever got on a 350CC motorcycle?
35 i live in hilly area
@@LauraLasan69 Where are you from? I love the hills :)
From Sikkim bro
Wow, man.
I haven't been to Sikkim, yet.
Will definitely be riding to the north east, soon :)
You should definitely visit Sikkim. Its a beautiful place for adventure seekers
I love how absolute in love with your bike you are
