After testing the CB twins back to back, I found the RS to be a much more easy bike & my pillion for the test ride came to the same conclusion as well, it was the Hness that was a no go for us. the RS handles way better & contrary to the popular belief has better pillion comfort. I am 5'11 & have been riding for a decade, I found the Hness to be difficult to sit on, the seats were harder compared to the RS & the pillion seat is just too flat, without a backrest that flat seat can be dangerous for the pillion if you ever gun it.

Doug DeMurro would be proud of this quirks and features review. Albatross rivalling wingspan 😂 Also, your new camera gear is excellent, as it managed to catch the DRLs in daylight when you were talking about the steering. BTW, excellent review.
Buddy, can I direct install these tyres/alloys onto the Hness or is there an impediment in terms of the frame etc? Can the double horn be installed by the official service center? I presume the battery and electricals are the exact same and only needs a split wiring to be routed to both sides?🤔
No doubt in picking up one, i ride the blue and white Highness from showroom and im going to buy it. Yes Rs is the sportier version but i like highness most from the launch date 🥰. I dont ride rs and dont want to be. Before going to show room black and grey was my choice but after riding the blue one i liked the color very much, whie driving i just looked in to the tank and i feel very premium. I watched ur all videos about rs and Highness its very informative than any other channels. You showed the correct seat hight measurement and it inspired a lot my hight is 5.3, Thank you... ❤❤❤
Super crisp ... .... Thank you bro... .... You were mentioning about tight handle bar... So, How was the drving experience in city ....? Particularly in traffic.... ... Air cooled... any heating issues....??
Thank you! It's not an issue at all; you'd feel it only when you ride it after you have ridden the Hness. The air-cooled motor keeps its calm, despite being ridden at full chat in Delhi's already superhot summers. So no worries there as well. 😃
Bro which is best CB 350 RS or Jawa 42 2.1,. I need better handling, long touring,better mileage, better cruising speed of 90-100 , can you please suggest
Haven't ridden highness but I do agree with you regarding handling, it does feel bit heavy. After test driven Rs350, super meteor 650 felt lighter to flick around.
Thanks, mate! Have put in a request to RE for the GT 650 as I had reviewed the Conti 650 back in 2019. Those bikes haven't changed. So, will review the GT and talk about how it is different than the Conti. Will that work for you? 😃
@@RealAutoReviews sure , just wanted to see How's your comfort on interceptor . I do watched your Interceptor videos but those are concentrated only on the performance , so thought of asking you by comment 😅

@@RealAutoReviews tq for the reply , sry if I'm taking more of your time , how about the seat height with respect to the weight of the bike , was it manageable in traffic .? I'm 5'4 by the way
@@vickyjohn5730 See, at 5'1" I had to wear my thick-soled boots that I have customized to test high bikes. At 5'4", you will be tip-toeing on both sides, which is absolutely fine while riding solo but could be tricky if you have a pillion. Take a test ride to determine that! And please do keep me posted 😃
@@RealAutoReviews 😅 yes but what an awesome temperament you have.. I went through all of your comments yesterday.. Even disrespectful comment wala public bhi last taak dost hi ban gye aapka 😅
I just came from your CB350 H'ness video (for the 2nd time because I forgot about this video!🤣) and I have a question - do we need to change the rear tyre on the Highness to the one on the RS? It's just an assumption, but wouldn't the 150 section tyre mean better grip during the monsoons? I'm not a fast rider, I'll probably never cross 50 km/h on city roads. All I need is safety and comfort. And mileage would be a bonus, but not a deal-breaker.🌝
I rode the Hness quite extensively (over 500 km) and didn't find the grip lacking at any occasion. And I don't ride at 50 km/h 😁 So, that shouldn't be on your worry list even remotely. The Hness is the best and the near-perfect bike you can buy in this segment. Plus, it doesn't require any mods. 😃
@@RealAutoReviews I will put on a back rest for my parents and Aunt. Other than that, I think keeping it stock is the best way to go. Any other modification would spoil it's aesthetic. Thanks for the advice. Now I just need to test ride it.
My height is 5'1 and I'm confident enough to take this bike.....I had a ride experience in RE Himalayan, had some difficulties during U-turn in roads and some difficulties in pulling it back, but I hope that Honda CB is a bit lower than Himalayan right? Only one reason why I wish to have RS is for its colours whether its Red or Dual tone Black-Yellow or Blue, If H'ness has those colour options similar to RS, I would straight-away go with H'ness
Sir mera cb350rs ka Rear tyre wearoff hogya lekin mujhe Naya tire 15hazar ka mil raha hai sirf Pirelli aur Metzeler ka... MRF Zapper-Curve nahi mil raha ye size me... Kya karu?
The RS is a much better bike than the Jawa. It handles better, the ride quality is better, seat is better, ground clearance is waayyyy better, and the reliability is in a different league altogether. As a bonus, the top speed of the Honda is now better too!
@@Ok-zb6cv Yes, the fuel efficiency of the Honda is again the best in segment. I am just 5'1" mate. 😊 But I can understand your issue as my younger brother is 5'9" and has short legs. But you don't need to flat foot on a motorcycle to ride it. Take it from me: the world's shortest motorcycle journalist. 😊
@@RealAutoReviews haha. And I added " might be the shortest but a potential best reviewer". Anyways, I'm hell confused between jawa 42 n rs. It's the looks of jawa tht attracts me the most. N rest, everything else in honda. I love to ride between 70_80kmph. But love that initial pickup/drag. Mostly I ride in city (it's not bumper to bumper condition here) n very rarely highway. What sd be a great buy for me.suggest.
@@Ok-zb6cv You made my day! Thanks a lot ❤️ I would recommend the Honda. The Jawas have teething issues (rust, inconsistent build quality, etc.) which is why I can't recommend it to you. And this is coming from an owner of the original two-stroke Jawa. Yes, my '73 Jawa 250 was my first motorcycle and I still have it. 😊
Brother, as a short rider, 1)How did you managed to ride the bike when the road is a bit slanted or uneven when the bike is idle? 2)Is it easy to pull or push it out from the parking space without the engine running, as if we are sitting on the bike or standing next to the bike and doing the manoeuvre? And finally, brother I am 5' 4". Will I be able to handle the bike for the above situations and also considering its weight?
I am just 5'1". I did not face any issues on the Highness but this bike was a bit of a challenge. That said, at 5'4" you will do absolutely fine! See, the misconception is that you need to flat foot. NO! As long as you are able to tip toe on BOTH sides at the same time, you can ride any motorcycle on this planet. Take that from me who has done Bombay to Delhi on a 400 kg Indian Chieftain. 😀
Thanks for the reply brother, always keep this enthusiasm and charm. You have done a very informative review. Looking forward to your further projects.
Hi, I'm 5'4". I am no prior Bike owning experience. Initially after taking delivery, for a week I felt like I had bought a bike which I'm not capable of handling but slowly, Its getting good 1. Corning capability of CB is rock solid! I had been to a hilly strech and boy I loved riding it 2. For pull/push out of parking, Somehow near main seat, there is a slot where I rest my body and am able to easily maneuver around Also, I'm tip toeing both front foot and so far able to manage.. But seriously, all this hassle is forgotten once we ride CB in highways. Would seriously recommand test ride and decide😎
I bought an rs...but i hear a buzzing sound from the front side of the bike while riding...the showroom PPL.are.saying it is occuring in all RS....does it occur for u..any idea what is it ?
Nope. There was no sound in this bike. This was a media unit. Not my bike. But there was absolutely no sound. There shouldn't be! Which city are.you in?
@@RealAutoReviews before the first service...the buzzing sound was faint..but after the first service..it became louder....i am planning to go and check the bike in the showroom next week...i think it's the vibration of wires...no idea
Bro i took a test ride of both Honda highness 350 and RS as well . Frankly speaking as per the looks i like Rs much better . But i like Highess because of seat comfort and grab rail it holds . I am confused which one to take !
@@RealAutoReviews I am really confussed ya . As per riding comfort i prefer honda higness and looks RS does great job . Wish it could have come up with grab rails and back pillion seat more long and comfort . This decision is holding me to go for RS !
@@RealAutoReviews Thanks man. The thing is i saw the bike in person and to me, bike does have those old school looks, but it still manages to look very young
@@RealAutoReviews i am planning to get highness, do you know shops of basic accesories of honda(after market but good)?? Can we contact if you live nearby too.??
@@Raviyadav9711664969 I always recommend to leave the bike absolutely stock for the first few months. That way if anything goes wrong, you can tell the company that it's not because of any aftermarket fitments. I tested the bike for over 500 km and didn't feel the need of any "accessories". I don't live in Dwarka. However, you may always connect with me here; I try to answer every question! 😊
@@mertsagcan Oh that ways! 😁 But don't you worry, friends of your height at the shoot of both motorcycles confirm that they were absolutely comfortable. 😀
honda highness and cb 350rs are 🔥 but rpm meter is missing right honda should have given two meters with some digital info like old cb 350 four if the meter was better,this bike would have been perfect
A few queries: Are the sacrifices in the form of charging port, Bluetooth, pillion comfort worth it for a better styled package at a higher premium? How good is the aftermarket accessories support for the RS? Hness gets a lot of love but not the RS. Accessories i am looking for are a proper grabrail, a pillion foot rest maybe and frame sliders. It may seem like the Hness suits my requirements more but the RS is much better styled and slightly sporty too which I want. Will Honda ever update this bike? A cb350rs 2.0 maybe
1) Premium worthiness: Yes if you are in love with the looks. Otherwise, no. 2) Pillion won't be comfortable on the RS as much as on the Hness. 3) The RS should get the accessories too. It could just be a matter of time. 4) An update looks highly unlikely for at least a year. Go for it if you have your heart on it. But if the pillion would be riding frequently, I would recommend the Hness. Hope this helps.
@@RealAutoReviews Thanks for the reply! How easily can we arrange for the rear grab rail and a pillion footrest like the Hness for the RS (Hness accessories compatible with RS??) and does honda provide the usb charger as an optional add-on? If these 3 are somehow achievable without tampering with the warranty etc. I might go in for the RS. Also how will a full blacked out Hness look? I don't like chrome at all. Else i would just have to pass on both these 2 awesome bikes as neither is perfect in the ways i want it to be😔
@@saikatdey2007 1) No (to almost every conversion from RS to Hness), sadly, as the mountings are different. 2) Full black, unless done by the company, may look garish. Won't recommend. 3) Cancelling both would be a pity. Get the RS. Itna bhi hadh se zyada perfection nahi dhoondne ka 🙄
regarding your comment at 2:40 on double honks, please encourage your viewers to avoid honking, guess we would enjoy our rides better if the roads were less noisy
My comment was NOT about "honking" but about Honda's miserly act of not giving this bike a dual unit despite charging more. As far as making our roads better is concerned, I intend to make a series of videos on it. Already made one on T-junction driving The next could be on "unnecessary honking" 😊 something
I think it was due to wind blast in your favour on that particular day. Try both of them on the same day on the same trip and yes in the same direction
No tailwinds, brother. Else I would have spoken about it. On the contrary, if you'll notice in that video, I say that it doesn't look like it would even touch 140! 😀
So Honda first launched the CB350 in India and called it the CB350 Highness (and spelt it as H'ness). Thereafter, they launched the CB350RS. Which country are you from, mate? 😃
@@RealAutoReviews The RE Meteor just came available here , so this one might just follow. Normally for German roads its way too slow, but we have 3 Motorcycle license categories here, so for the beginners it is interesting. And honestly, i always avoid highway driving so i would be interested also, nice for a sunday drive
See, like I said in the video, the RS is a great bike. It's just that the Highness not only has perfect ergonomics (you sit absolutely straight and comfortable), it also feels light everywhere, be it while manually pushing/pulling, or while on the move. That's why it gets my vote. 😃
Have ridden both. RS has a slightly straighter handle and Highness has curved one. That means sitting is better on Highness. But RS is much more beautiful than Highness And the highness seat is narrower. Hence the tip toe problems.
They say, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Some find the Highness more beautiful; some like the RS more. Also, like I have mentioned in the review, the RS is a bit taller. Hence, it's not only the wider seat that makes it difficult for shorter riders.
Keeping the philosophy aside, Can u really say CD100 looks better than H'ness? U can't lie to your conscience. H'ness more comfortable RS looks better These r facts.....!!!! There could be some exceptions, like u think H'ness looks better.. But Generally, evryone ll like the looks of RS more
@@karunkeechira there is no philosophy in "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder". It's a fact. Else, we wouldn't see the variety in design. Both the Highness and RS are beautiful bikes; the RS isn't decidedly better just because it sports a wider tyre 🤦
@@karunkeechira And don't say "everyone" when your statement takes into account only a few. Despite seeing the majority liking the Highness more than the RS, even I didn't say that everyone likes the Highness more. In fact, I have said it in the review itself that the RS looks beautiful. Which one looks more beautiful is a matter of personal tastes. Those who like "complete" motorcycles will like the Highness more; those who get the hacksaw (to cut the hugger) in their hands even before they get the RC of their NS, will like the RS more 😃
Really good to see someone doing 'MEANINGFUL' reviews.
Thank You.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
@Krew Giovanni what's in it for you?
Thank god finally you started moto vlogging along with the reviews and that's going to boost up your channel a lot. Keep doing it.

I KNOW the highness is better value but damn this looks good! You know at times you're in the mood to ride leisurely, in a classy no non sense way very calmly, you could do that on this because from the front quarters it's very classy. But at times to really want to rip through the streets, you could do that because from the rear quarters it's essentially a sporty motorcycle.

I bought an rs...but i hear a buzzing sound from the front side of the bike while riding...the showroom PPL.are.saying it is occuring in all RS....does it occur for u..any idea what is it ?
Nope. There was no sound in this bike. This was a media unit. Not my bike. But there was absolutely no sound. There shouldn't be! Which city are.you in?
@@RealAutoReviews i am from kochi , kerala bro
Oh, had you been in Delhi, I would have checked your bike. But no worries, take it up with Honda and keep me posted!
@@RealAutoReviews before the first service...the buzzing sound was faint..but after the first service..it became louder....i am planning to go and check the bike in the showroom next week...i think it's the vibration of wires...no idea
@@cyrusphilip9175 put it on double stand, rotate the front wheel and check.
How ever, am impressed with this one😀
It is impressive! 😃
Bro i took a test ride of both Honda highness 350 and RS as well . Frankly speaking as per the looks i like Rs much better . But i like Highess because of seat comfort and grab rail it holds . I am confused which one to take !
These are the reasons (among a few more) why I said the RS isn't better than the Highness. 😃
@@RealAutoReviews I am really confussed ya . As per riding comfort i prefer honda higness and looks RS does great job . Wish it could have come up with grab rails and back pillion seat more long and comfort . This decision is holding me to go for RS !
Get the Highness.
Rs top speed is 145 is possible bro ?
I think Rs is for a college or school boy, where as highness is for touring and married person.
Haha, that's one way of putting it! 😃
Idk man, Im a college boy. and ilke the highness more
@@veirkaransingh1251 And your choice get a thumbs up from me! 👍
@@RealAutoReviews Thanks man. The thing is i saw the bike in person and to me, bike does have those old school looks, but it still manages to look very young
You are absolutely correct. See the thumbnail of my Highness Review video where how well it gels with my RDs 😍
Which colour u like more...
This one. The black & yellow reminds me of the erstwhile taxis.
Highness it is 🥰
Absolutely! 😃😃
Hi is there wobbling issue in rs 350?
Nope. I took the bike to 150 km/h. Wouldn't have gone anywhere remotely near it if there was a wobbling issue 😃
@@RealAutoReviews thanks bro
Review is nice first of all I loved it but too much of "however" I loved that as well ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ for review ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hahahaha, thank you so much! ❤️
Watching 35th time simply because of rs and clear explanations
Whoa! Means a lot to me! Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Any difference in mileage?
No, expect the same from both.. Around 35 kmpl in the city, and a lot more while touring if you don't cross 100 kmph. 😃
@@RealAutoReviews 👍🏻👍🏻
🙏🙏
Did you noticed any change in exhaust note in RS as compared to highness due to the up angled exhaust??
Zero. Sounds absolutely the same. 😊
I'm ft5"7 ..will i be able to ride this RS
Easily! Anyone who's 5'3" and above 😊
@@RealAutoReviews thank U very much sir
You are welcome! All the best and keep me posted!
Wanted to buy this but after seeing this review it’s turn me off so confused hyness or cb350Rs
Irshad, list down the points you are confused about and I shall clear your confusion. Second half mei. Abhi Eid mana lein. 😃 Eid Mubarak!
1. Is it worth buying compare to hyness ?
2. is it good for cruising ?
3. Pelion Seat comfort in Rs
4.Tyre grip compare to Hyness tyres ?
@@RealAutoReviews Eid Mubarak to u too
@@zubeenable
Point number 2: both bikes are equal.
in all other aspects, the H'ness is better.
Intro was shot in Dwarka Sec 13??
I live nearby...
Yes! 😃
@@RealAutoReviews i am planning to get highness, do you know shops of basic accesories of honda(after market but good)??
Can we contact if you live nearby too.??
@@Raviyadav9711664969 I always recommend to leave the bike absolutely stock for the first few months. That way if anything goes wrong, you can tell the company that it's not because of any aftermarket fitments. I tested the bike for over 500 km and didn't feel the need of any "accessories". I don't live in Dwarka. However, you may always connect with me here; I try to answer every question! 😊
@@RealAutoReviews thats cool... i will try to leave it as stock...
But first i should get one😅😅😅
Is this best in this segment and budget???
Yesssss!
I am 181cm. Do bouth of these fit me?
Easily, brother. Easily! At 181 cm, you are tall enough to ride even the highest bikes on this planet. 😀
@@RealAutoReviews the problem is not being tall enough :) being too tall for some bike. It looks terrifying. And a pessenger
@@mertsagcan Oh that ways! 😁 But don't you worry, friends of your height at the shoot of both motorcycles confirm that they were absolutely comfortable. 😀
excellent review ! How is the pillion comfort in RS ?
That means you didn't watch the complete review 😐
@@RealAutoReviews
Got it. i watched again . it's at last. thanks bro.
@@ashwinukey9914 my pleasure 😀
I do like the looks of RS more than H'ness, but I know it's not worth the extra money :(
😁😁
Please bring in the poll RS vs H'ness in looks.....!!!!!
Haha, patience my friend, patience! 😃
@@RealAutoReviews You said Today.. Easter Sunday was the perfect day 😄 ok I ll wait..
U got 149 top speed in this bike bro ?
Yes bro. The highest in India. Or you can say the highest in the world 😁😃
@@RealAutoReviews i hav plan to buy this bike. Pls tell 145 top speed milega kya
@@rajeshkrishna4639 poora review dekha tumne ye waala? Mileage segment best hai yaar! It's like having your cake and eating it too 😃
@@RealAutoReviews haa..pura dekha.
honda highness and cb 350rs are 🔥
but rpm meter is missing right
honda should have given two meters with some digital info
like old cb 350 four
if the meter was better,this bike would have been perfect
Yes, a tachometer would have added more to its report card. 😊
@@RealAutoReviews yeah😅
@@Moonlight-hq3gi 😁😁
A few queries:
Are the sacrifices in the form of charging port, Bluetooth, pillion comfort worth it for a better styled package at a higher premium?
How good is the aftermarket accessories support for the RS? Hness gets a lot of love but not the RS. Accessories i am looking for are a proper grabrail, a pillion foot rest maybe and frame sliders.
It may seem like the Hness suits my requirements more but the RS is much better styled and slightly sporty too which I want. Will Honda ever update this bike? A cb350rs 2.0 maybe
1) Premium worthiness: Yes if you are in love with the looks. Otherwise, no.
2) Pillion won't be comfortable on the RS as much as on the Hness.
3) The RS should get the accessories too. It could just be a matter of time.
4) An update looks highly unlikely for at least a year.
Go for it if you have your heart on it. But if the pillion would be riding frequently, I would recommend the Hness. Hope this helps.
@@RealAutoReviews Thanks for the reply!
How easily can we arrange for the rear grab rail and a pillion footrest like the Hness for the RS (Hness accessories compatible with RS??) and does honda provide the usb charger as an optional add-on? If these 3 are somehow achievable without tampering with the warranty etc. I might go in for the RS.
Also how will a full blacked out Hness look? I don't like chrome at all.
Else i would just have to pass on both these 2 awesome bikes as neither is perfect in the ways i want it to be😔
@@saikatdey2007 1) No (to almost every conversion from RS to Hness), sadly, as the mountings are different.
2) Full black, unless done by the company, may look garish. Won't recommend.
3) Cancelling both would be a pity. Get the RS. Itna bhi hadh se zyada perfection nahi dhoondne ka 🙄
regarding your comment at 2:40 on double honks, please encourage your viewers to avoid honking, guess we would enjoy our rides better if the roads were less noisy
My comment was NOT about "honking" but about Honda's miserly act of not giving this bike a dual unit despite charging more. As far as making our roads better is concerned, I intend to make a series of videos on it. Already made one on T-junction driving The next could be on "unnecessary honking" 😊 something
@@RealAutoReviews Appreciate it 👍
@@RAHULNAYAK1 ❤️❤️ isi baat pe like and subscribe ho jaaye? 😁
If they give a rs prolike delux pro
With all that bluethoot dual horn I think its gonna sell more
That bluetooth is useless though.
what is ur height ?
5'1" bro
What is ur height
I am 5'1" bro.
Pls do himalayan 2021 top speed bro
Sure! Will ask RE for a unit soon.
@@RealAutoReviews 🙌💯
I think the top speed was sue to the exhaust angle difference between both
How can that make a difference?
I think it was due to wind blast in your favour on that particular day. Try both of them on the same day on the same trip and yes in the same direction
No tailwinds, brother. Else I would have spoken about it. On the contrary, if you'll notice in that video, I say that it doesn't look like it would even touch 140! 😀
@@RealAutoReviews the bike can touch 149
@@axelblaze4048 yes I know. I am the one who took it to 149 😃
👍
👍🙏
Its the same engine - so no difference there. When it comes to seating position and agility, the RS scores BIG TIME over the H'ness.
It's the other way around. The Highness is more agile. More comfortable too.
@@RealAutoReviews Respect your opinion - my experience says otherwise
@@echochamber8350 👍😃
Honda hness or cb 350 rs
You can't go wrong with either. Pick the one that appeals to your heart more. I would pick the Hness.
Highness is Just for uncles and touring also but RS is for youth bro btw nice review...
Hahaha, thank you! ❤️
This motorcycle is best in segment but however Highness is better. Itna confusion kyu Bhai. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
No confusion. That's one way of putting it. The RS is the best bike in the segment, but the Highness is even better than the RS. 😁
Your height please as you said it is difficult to tip toe!
5'1" bro. Anyone taller than me should not have an issue!!
@@RealAutoReviews Thanks for the quick reply👍
@@AMEEN884 my pleasure 😃
Looking more like Triumph speed
The Street Twin rather 😊
🥰🥰✌✌
🤗🤗🤗🤗
Royal Enfield means Heaviest least mileage increasing liabilities
Not necessarily. Fir example, the Jawa 42 is the lightest in this segment but its fuel efficiency sucks.
Whats a Hness?
So Honda first launched the CB350 in India and called it the CB350 Highness (and spelt it as H'ness). Thereafter, they launched the CB350RS. Which country are you from, mate? 😃
@@RealAutoReviews Germany.
We are hoping this bike will come here also
@@ekimandersom4478 They have started selling this in Japan too now; let's hope that you guys get it as well! Do let me know as and when you get it 😃
@@RealAutoReviews The RE Meteor just came available here , so this one might just follow.
Normally for German roads its way too slow, but we have 3 Motorcycle license categories here, so for the beginners it is interesting.
And honestly, i always avoid highway driving so i would be interested also, nice for a sunday drive
@@ekimandersom4478 Those three categories would be A2, A1, and the full-on A?
And how much is the Meteor selling there for? 😃
CB 350RS is better option than hnes
No.
Rs better than highness
NO
Why are u saying highness is better ?
Watch the video mere bhai 🤦
@@RealAutoReviews watched bro
I didn't get it
Saw u clocking rs to 150 kmph in another video
See, like I said in the video, the RS is a great bike. It's just that the Highness not only has perfect ergonomics (you sit absolutely straight and comfortable), it also feels light everywhere, be it while manually pushing/pulling, or while on the move. That's why it gets my vote. 😃
Not better than hness because it is hness
If that makes you feel better. 👍
@@RealAutoReviews okay
Very bad bike for sort Hight man
No. NOT at all a "very bad bike for short riders". Anyone over 5'3" can easily manage.

Have ridden both. RS has a slightly straighter handle and Highness has curved one. That means sitting is better on Highness.
But RS is much more beautiful than Highness
And the highness seat is narrower. Hence the tip toe problems.
They say, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Some find the Highness more beautiful; some like the RS more. Also, like I have mentioned in the review, the RS is a bit taller. Hence, it's not only the wider seat that makes it difficult for shorter riders.
Keeping the philosophy aside, Can u really say CD100 looks better than H'ness? U can't lie to your conscience.
H'ness more comfortable
RS looks better
These r facts.....!!!!
There could be some exceptions, like u think H'ness looks better.. But Generally, evryone ll like the looks of RS more
@@karunkeechira there is no philosophy in "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder". It's a fact. Else, we wouldn't see the variety in design. Both the Highness and RS are beautiful bikes; the RS isn't decidedly better just because it sports a wider tyre 🤦
@@karunkeechira And don't say "everyone" when your statement takes into account only a few. Despite seeing the majority liking the Highness more than the RS, even I didn't say that everyone likes the Highness more. In fact, I have said it in the review itself that the RS looks beautiful. Which one looks more beautiful is a matter of personal tastes. Those who like "complete" motorcycles will like the Highness more; those who get the hacksaw (to cut the hugger) in their hands even before they get the RC of their NS, will like the RS more 😃
@@RealAutoReviews Your contempt on those who likes RS more. I can also argue that uncles who has aged in their mindset ll like H'ness more..
Honda just looting customers.
How? 🤔
