The bike is very well balanced. It is easy to take tight turns on, without intimidating the rider.

After a tonne of research and thought, I finally brought home a cb350rs in the athletic blue metallic shade.
A very short pros and cons after riding it for a 100km
Pros:
- Good brakes. The front brakes have a very good bite and it felt very good when compared to the Royal Enfield’s.
- Thumpy sound. The bike sounds awesome when given enough throttle. But it is kind of mute while cruising.
- Mature ride. Even though the ride is on the stiffer side, it is still very good. The bike feels very stable and through rough patches of road it felt planted.
- The way this thing looks is awesome. So many people have asked me the model and the price of the bike. This blue shade is rare and is a looker for sure. The 150 section rear tyre adds to the looks.
- Slick shifting gearbox and a smooth clutch
- The bike is very well balanced. Easy to take tight turns on without intimidating the rider.
Cons:
- Low end torque is meh!
- The gearing is tall, very tall. 5th can only be used above 65kmph, which is close to useless during my commutes
- The front mud flaps are too short.
- No space to keep documents.
- The lack of BT connectivity and dual horns on the RS
Ending the short review with some bagers
