Tall gearing plays a very crucial role in managing commute with ease city traffic. Its not an issue but infact an essential feature for one using this bike in daily city traffic. Makes ride extremely comfortable despite the vehicle weighing around 179kg.
Long gearing is not an issue actually ,if u are in cities and meant to deal with traffic in your daily life you don't need to constantly shift the gears...just put on the second gear and ride it in the traffic ,it actually became the automatical . It reduce the stress of handling gears ,it's actually a nice thing done by honda for the city usage
Hey Maheshwar, yes I agree but for someone who's buying this bike they'll go on long rides and tours and for cruising on highway you will feel like you're running out of acceleration because of tall gearing. That's just my personal experience other than that in traffic that's not an issue.
@@kaifnasir1259 thats not an issue, can downshift and get the torque you want to overtake. But personally i feel gearing is very well suits for the Indian city traffic , with assist clutch its easy to maneuver when compared to heavy clutch RE bikes.
Agree with Brakes, Could ve been better, doesn't feel like ABS at all. Also Agree with Mirrors, all we see is our arms. Rest all are Nitpicks imo and personal preferences and you can literally see all those things just before buying the bike, its not something you notice after buying.
My friend ABS gets triggered at very specific situations and you can feel it working as well as it shows in instrument cluster. I was talking about the brake bike in general which could've been a tad bit better.
@@kaifnasir1259 Yes I get that. I thought you were talking about hard breaking. On breaking front, the bike that I found is the best at this is RE Interceptor. Compared to that I did not feel RS had noticeable breaking performance missing. I would like to highlight the biggest negative in my opinion, it is the very small fenders; driving in rain and mud is a big no no with this bike
@@kaifnasir1259 I believe the bikes you mentioned are of different segment and have much more power delivered in a different and explosive way, which is why they need good stopping power and thus much better brake bite.
The wide spaced gear ratio and tall gearing are the main issue, otherwise everything is pretty good. I wished that even if they made the gearing tall, the gear ratio would have been closer much like that of those japanese sports bike we come to know and love
Couldn't agree more my friend! Tall gearing is indeed a thing of concern because you run out of acceleration each time you upshift the gear and I always find myself struggling with that as I find myself downshifting quite a lot.
Some are not flaws some flaws ll be solved by ecu update and some real flws are highlighted by every youtuber revwing this bike. So its not like 10 flaws you wished someone could told you before. So before buying u shd check on UA-cam and test ride it. I test ridden all such bikes and this one i ridden 3 times before taking decision. And brother believe me there is no brake issue. Only cons are brk pad to be replaced soon and some parts are prone to rusting. Otherwise nice vehicle 😊
I m a mechanic I work on sports and indian bikes. I m having uc engine 350 std even a std uc engine 500 and 2021 honda cb 350 rs. .I know short gear box and long gear box very well. Both the Hondas execpt smoothness of the engine and the clucth, the other things like suspension, lights,braking and the quality of the paint on the chassis and other black parts are worst.😢.. the black colour of the chassis an the parts starts peel off within six months. Now I m going knock down the all bike and get the paint work in my garage.
Ds guy should be a ROYAL ENFIELD guy talks bull shit I am using Honda CB RS for the past 3 years & 100% satisfied. One thing each one taste is different 😊
The top gear is really disappointed. I can't overtake and get enough acceleration in fifth gear. Initial pickup is superb. Suddenly I feel the power is vanished.
Yes, a big patch of my black paint from the chasis came out. Paint quality is rubbish. Enfield's paint quality is much better than this. I am regretting now that I have bought it on the name of Honda.

5th gear is for cruising
I get 44 kmpl on highway

If you downshift for more power still it's doesn't work on cb 350 rs ....

Don't put fake reviews , Bike cost it's 2.36 L. The significant thing is in 2nd gear can't reach 80kmm in Honda CB rs & hness..
2nd gear reaches 80.i am having Hness. Full throttle in 2nd gear it will reach
Bike cost varies from city to city , here in Bangalore you have to shell out 2.97L for this piece of metal
Break Bite opinion was absolutely useless. The fact that you dont get that break bite, that is because the ABS is working as it should. It is safer.

@@zagreus4866 I understand your concern Akash, I was comparing the braking with the likes of this segment like Dominar 400, Duke 390 etc etc.

@@Krish-ku5yq yes correct, the brakes are just ok for this bike. But rear break is really missing the bite. Maybe due to sticky tyre 150"
Are you getting any wobbling issue? A lot of users are complaining.. I really liked the bike..Should I change my mind and go for same RE again? 😔
The wobbling issu is just bcuze of the stupid MRF tyres.....
bro, if u want good acceleration reduce the gear and raise accelerator, it is a fun to ride bike

Hi both pls check this video.... ua-cam.com/video/SMd8DOyyg8g/v-deo.html
This bike is meant for different category.. this is not an issue.!
I'm not using 5th gear 🙂

why you didnt buy dominar or meteor?
Correct question
More expensive
Higher power and torque in dominar so brake as do better for that
The Deluxe Pro Variant is the same cost as the RS. The standard variant is 10k cheaper than the RS

3lakh? 🤔
How did it cost 3 lakhs
Different states me on road price different hota hai

It pulls more in 4th gear. 5th gear is mostly for cruising, you can push it 100+ in 4th gear itself.
Major issue rusting problem
RE, YEZDI , JAWA all rusting issues
Is there any rusting issues on your bike?
No such issue whatsoever.
Yes, a big patch of my black paint from the chasis came out. Paint quality is rubbish. Enfield's paint quality is much better than this. I am regretting now that I have bought it on the name of Honda.
@@kaifnasir1259 how is it now , any rust , paint chipping etc , because many have reported it .
Yes paint comparison RE is best
