I own a RS for a year and more now and happy to say, it's one bike that served me with my daily riding needs to heavy duty offroading in the Spiti valley...the 21 Japanese Horses are quite capable...I have customised mine to my taste and requirements.
Hello Motomento! I’m based in Singapore and I own an Indian variant Honda H’ness CB350 otherwise known as Honda GB350 in Japan. Honda India came up with three 350cc models; CB350, H’ness CB350 & CB350RS. Honda Japan then matched the market and started distributing the same 350cc models under a different name as in that order; GB350C, GB350 & GB350S. My H’ness CB350 produce a brilliant exhaust note as I cruise through the city of Singapore. Smooth as butter. I believe the CB350RS is a tracker/scrambler rather than a cafe racer classic whilst the H’ness is a modern classic and the CB350 is a classic. Hopefully in the near future SG & MY are able to get our hands more on Honda’s brand new array of its classic inspired 350cc segment! Love watching this channel, cheers!
This is definitely a characterful machine. Not for speed obviously but for chilled riding. Great exhaust note though i dont like how it fades out at higher revs. But one bike? For commutes, gentle fun and shopping, then probably the CB500 Hornet.
The RS actually has lower bars and more rearset foot controls than the more retro non RS. It's also lower by two mm according to Honda R&D. Tacho-wise you can get a Daytona Velona 60mm tach for about a thousand RM.
Something about the proportion and the lines makes this bike so special. I own one in matt grey colour. Brings a smile to face every time I look at it. Love this bike❤
Great review my friend! I do agree-the only thing against it is the really low engine specs, thankfully its kinda wierdly underpriced here in Malaysia! So we can justify this total babe alongside another purpose built machine kalau nak laju! I mean, this thing costs about a liter bike exhaust..ok la tu hahaha
The silhouette reminds me of the Kawasaki Z400 twin of the 1970s. I would take this (or the C version) over the Triumph all day long. I can't wait for it to come to the UK - 2025 according to Honda.
Another pop n bang motorcycle available is my KTNS gp250. Same top speed, agile, customized into street trekker/bobber, really breeze on the throttle, superb for back-road riding. Who wants to buy my custom KTNS GP250 now😂
@@motomento btw, watched your video of the RE Hunter 350 too. Which would you pick between the two? And perhaps what are the differences between them, if you can share.
I'd definitely pick the Honda. They're both feel very similar to ride, but the Honda is both more affordable and better looking in my books. It will be more convenient to find tyres for the twin 17" rims on the RE though.
I would prefer the chrome exhaust and the crome fenders of the hness. Sadly the hness is also painted in ugly matt colours. A custom paint job in the colour scheme of the 1970s woult cost 1/4 of the whole bike. On the hness legacay i am not sure if the multi-color design on the tank is just a sticker or if there is clear coat over it
I have not tried the Imperiale but it has been on my radar because of its price point and looks. I do like the Honda’s design more tho. It’s a little more race-y.
Honda screwed up by not bring it back as a two cylinder. I had a 1970 CB350 with a 400 Daytona kit installed by Honda. It had more HP than the Harley 900. Make one in two cylinders and I'll buy two!
Last I heard Honda Damansara themselves were working on offering these as accessory options so maybe you can contact the SA I contacted in the description of the video.
Cb350rs have a more sporty riding position whereas in cb350 it’s more of a cruising position Rs have lower handle and tighter foot peg which makes your leg right below your seat but in cb350 handle is higher and lower foot pegs which is comfortable for long distance travel I personally have a cb350rs and it’s good for city but if you travel long distances cb350 and cb350 highness is better I usually get around 44km/l on highway and 37 on city
I tested hunter,meteor and classic before buying rs and found that the mid end was not powerful in hunter and the clutch was not good in all three RE Other than that they are good bikes 😊
1-1-2025 if no honda gb cb or highness or whatever name 350 aircooled not come to Europe Greece Athens i go with 4850 and buy R E meteor .END of story for me and finaly stop the internet begging and been exhausted w8ing and w8ing and every day googling for news about gb 350 europe.In Greece we say "never go after a bus and a woman,it will be a new one after this you just lose".i am unhappy for this Honda ..
RS has a better and smoother clutch and refined engine . Just go for a test drive Don’t take anyone else’s advice,everyone has different tastes. Buy the one you like to drive😊
I have the same color one. Been riding it for 2 years. Always a pleasure.
Same here bro❤
Man you said exactly how i felt about this special bike! Honda CB350RS!🤩
Such an underrated channel, you can be number 1 bro in malaysia. I pray that ur channel grow

I bought my cb350rs mat grey colour three days ago, and I am loving it.
Proud owner of this bike in India, just yesterday came back from a 1000kms ride and gotta say this bike is very promising.
How many km did you get on a full tank?
@@motomento upwards of 500kms
I get around 440 and just completed the 1st service. Now it purrsss
@@orindamn4475 I think it also depends on where you ride, my estimates are based on my ride on a National Highway.
Booked this beauty today... it's gonna be a long week before I get my hands on it
I have dual tone, yellow and black bike, 3years old, enjoying it 😊
Bro gotta say your script is good. They way you adore this bike is making me fall in love with it even more.
It is pretty, no doubt. My first street bike was a a 1975 CB360T in blue. It was pretty, too.
Beautiful machine + a reliable work horse👏🏼👏🏼🔥‼️❤️🔥❤️🔥

At what price do u get in Singapore
Same bro, it also feel like my high-school crush the 1st time I saw it

I've wanted to buy an RE Classic 350 for a long time, but I always had doubts. Now with the gb350s I can rely on known quality. Thank you Honda 👌🏻
Why is your video so good to watch❤❤❤ Love from India 🇮🇳
Couldn't agree more , what a lovely bike it is
Insyaallah one day.. minat betul moto ni 😍
My friend has this machine in yellow & it’s fit and finish is top notch, this bike has a great punch I love it whenever I ride it ❤️
Bu motorsiklet Türkiye pazarına gelmeli 👍
the cb350rs has a cafe racer kit which honda offers here in India, check that out too!!
Great review my friend! I do agree-the only thing against it is the really low engine specs, thankfully its kinda wierdly underpriced here in Malaysia!

Absolutely charming bike. Well done Honda. We have a version of it here in Australia (GB350).
What is the price there
I'm hoping they'll bring in the non RS version or at least have red and/or white tank option.
I have this same bike and i just love it.
While other youtube channel review a bike, this channel tells a story. Thats whats make you guys special 👍

I wonder if this will come to Canada. But here we need big engines for fast highways. Maybe a classic CB750 again
that back carrier mod is so cool and looks built with good quality & finish, i hope we can find it in INDIA
I can't help wondering what two of those cylinders side by side as a 700 vertical twin would be like, with a 360 degree firing order.
stunning looks for me - twin clocks, 550-650 engine and twin exhausts and I'll be interested
Excellent video,great presentation,subbed👍.
Man if you are into classics try RE classic 350 as well. Thats true classic
The CB 350 H'ness is my preference. The LED lights are pretty useless. I wish it had a little more grunt (35PS ) but otherwise a nice city bike.
I went to fast bikes and saddled up. Looks aside the thing that surprises me the most is it's physical presence. It's not that easy to flat foot this.
It does have the presence of a “big bike” I have to agree.
Yoo I’ve been eyeing for this. Just waiting the gov to announce the B full license conversion.
I'll go for the old CB 250. The SOUND is much much better!
Wish they woud bring it to the UK🤞
😆💯💯‼️
Hanif already hooked. Can see it in his eyes. All in all, great review.
Already thinking about how to get approval from his minister of finance…
@@motomento btw, watched your video of the RE Hunter 350 too. Which would you pick between the two? And perhaps what are the differences between them, if you can share.
I'd definitely pick the Honda. They're both feel very similar to ride, but the Honda is both more affordable and better looking in my books. It will be more convenient to find tyres for the twin 17" rims on the RE though.
me personally i like the modern look of the speed 400
I think it looks really good.
Isn't it 50cc smaller than the Triumph. And doesn't the triumph have double overhead cams?
So, Indonesia (or the Philippines...Singapore?) right? driving on the left hand side of the road? Like Australia and japan.
then what would you say about H'ness CB 350 / CB 350 if you liked the retro styling of RS?
Haven’t seen them in person yet.
I would prefer the chrome exhaust and the crome fenders of the hness. Sadly the hness is also painted in ugly matt colours. A custom paint job in the colour scheme of the 1970s woult cost 1/4 of the whole bike.
On the hness legacay i am not sure if the multi-color design on the tank is just a sticker or if there is clear coat over it
I love it too ❤❤❤
If this vehicle had like 24 or 25 bhp....would have been the best 350 cc bike ever
Wonderful review. Subbed. Try the top speed in 4th. The 5th is for cruising. The gearing is tall.
what is the difference between this and the GB350 sold in eu?
Nice review. Thank you.
Why the hell can't they make a 500 - 650 like this anymore? I have the money ready.
Yeah, a twin 270 crank
Like a retro Honda answer to the Fantic Caballero 750. They would kill it.
This bike is also not as cluttered as the triumph, because it doesn't have a massive radiator.
Hi what's the top speed and which speed is comfortable to ride on. Can it be used for long distant ride? Does it have a coolant tank?
even though I own super meteor 650, anytime Honda 350RS in 400cc category
Greenroom 136?
Nice review. 😊👍🏼
Trying to decide on my new bike. Considering how they're very similar, how would this compare against the Imperiale 400?
I have not tried the Imperiale but it has been on my radar because of its price point and looks. I do like the Honda’s design more tho. It’s a little more race-y.
I have the black and yellow dual tone version
I've been hesitating between this CB350RS and the Royal Enfield Hunter 350. Thoughts?
I prefer the Honda to the RE Hunter.
@@motomento Alright! 😃 can't wait to finally test them!
will it come to Europe?
Want
waiting so long for the xsr155 to come to malaysia, I might just get this instead
Does it come with back carrier…
Honda screwed up by not bring it back as a two cylinder. I had a 1970 CB350 with a 400 Daytona kit installed by Honda. It had more HP than the Harley 900. Make one in two cylinders and I'll buy two!
If you want more power, you screwd it up with a GB350 not Honda. Maybe the high revving Triumph 400 suits beter to you.
Actually, it has the classic lines of a classic Triumph.
How you compare it to the Royal Enfield Hunter 350? ... Greetings from Europe....
In Malaysia, I’d definitely pick the Honda. They feel very similar to ride, but the Honda is more affordable and much better looking imo.
@motomento Bro I'm planning to buy this bike. Should I wait for 2025 CB350rs? Would there be any significant updates?
Hard to say for sure, but I believe this bike has remained largely the same since 2020.
agreed the gold forks on the speed 400 are hideous
Nice!
Kapan masuk Indonesia ya
Brother do Honda SCL500 next
If I get my hands on one 🫡
dont you guys have RE’s in malaysia?
Yes. We do have royal enfield here
made in india ?
Be aware of rusting issue...mine 2 months old RS got rust on fork..honda using cheap paint quality
I been driving my rs for more than a year and never faced rust .
It may be caused by leaving water after washing the bike
Glad to see this masterpiece sold in Malaysia. I'm here in Indonesia waiting this bike come to my country eventhough it seem impossible.
Took us a few years to get it too. So fingers crossed 🤞
@@motomento Congratz mate. Your struggle has paid off. Have fun 🍻.
Hi, may i know where to get the tailbox?
Last I heard Honda Damansara themselves were working on offering these as accessory options so maybe you can contact the SA I contacted in the description of the video.
You can also get it from bandidos
Where can I get that backrest/top rack plate
If you’re in Malaysia, you can contact the Sales Advisor I linked in the description.
If only triumph made the speed 400 with twin shocks.
Where to test drive it?
We tested it at Honda Big Wing Damansara.
Try the Royal Enfield Classic 350 for the feel. It was made on the footstep of RE.
I've only had a chance to ride the Hunter 350. Is the Classic 350 very different in feel?
@@motomentoclassic 350 is like a vibrator in a&&😂😂
I tried classic before buying rs . It’s a good bike but the clutch was ruff and it had fuel indication problems
Huh? we have this in Malaysia ????
Yup just entered not too long ago.
Agreed with you on the “But”….🤭
*It's really unfair for Honda not to bring it to the Philippines!! 😠*
Recall..
After 30 minutes of googling i still can't see what the difference is between the cb350 and the cb350 rs
Cb350rs have a more sporty riding position whereas in cb350 it’s more of a cruising position
Rs have lower handle and tighter foot peg which makes your leg right below your seat but in cb350 handle is higher and lower foot pegs which is comfortable for long distance travel
I personally have a cb350rs and it’s good for city but if you travel long distances cb350 and cb350 highness is better
I usually get around 44km/l on highway and 37 on city
i think its more of a scrambler than a cafe racer..
If only they made it twin cylinder 🥲
It's Honda's answear to Royal Enfield, not Triumph.
try ROYAL ENFIELD 🔥
i think hunter 350 is way better than this but this honda is also very interesting
I tested hunter,meteor and classic before buying rs and found that the mid end was not powerful in hunter and the clutch was not good in all three RE
Other than that they are good bikes 😊
1-1-2025 if no honda gb cb or highness or whatever name 350 aircooled not come to Europe Greece Athens i go with 4850 and buy R E meteor .END of story for me and finaly stop the internet begging and been exhausted w8ing and w8ing and every day googling for news about gb 350 europe.In Greece we say "never go after a bus and a woman,it will be a new one after this you just lose".i am unhappy for this Honda ..
It is a good motorcycle, but my concern may not be suitable on the highway.
It’s good for cruising at 80-90 and also get a mileage of 44km/l .I used to go for 2hrs driving and it’s been great
@allenbenson782 well... good for you, but I wouldn't ride on a 110km/h highway at 90km/h. 😅
Man I’m contemplating between this beauty with another beauty call Hunter 350 🥲
RS has a better and smoother clutch and refined engine .
Just go for a test drive
Don’t take anyone else’s advice,everyone has different tastes. Buy the one you like to drive😊
From where can I buy this particular tail mount?
Can contact the SA linked in the description if you’re from Malaysia. Outside of MY I’m not sure.
