Very detailed video 👍 After 100,000kms on the Duke, I'm done redlining and want to settle for a calmer and a maturer motorcycle (till the time I'm ready for the Versys 650😍) for daily use and touring. Something that produced peak power and torque at relatively low rpms so that I don't have to keep revving it hard to enjoy it. Found this to be a well balanced bike and Honda so reliable as well. I might just go for this one. 🙌

Amazing ownership review, crisp and to the point. No fancy stuff. I am a bit surprised when you said that it is not comfortable for long rides. Did you check the setting of rear suspension? May be it is too soft? If you make it stiff, that might help.

@secondopinion89 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the encouragement! And my sus is on the stock setup. Will try your suspension. I also think the seat style makes a difference. This one looks stylish but isn't made for long rides. Honda's slightly padded seat cover has helped a little.

Nice video, crisp details… M subscribing for the office meme and great review 😊. Planning to buy Honda 350 but nt sure between Highness and RS as the RS has a sporty stance but highness should be more comfortable… Any thoughts?

@secondopinion89 2 жыл бұрын

Appreciate the words bro and excited about the sub! I think it's a subjective choice as I went for the looks. However, I don't know if the highness fairs any better on long rides compared to RS. The RS' seat is only uncomfortable beyond one hour of riding in my experience, otherwise no complaints. But I still prefer the seat comfort of highness based on my test rides.

Great question. It would be a tough decision but still would choose the RS for its more contemporary looks. Having said that, the new anniversary edition (Hness) certainly seems tempting. Id say the Hness is more VFM if the sportier look isn't as important for you.

Every riders perception is unique and there's isn't one right answer at all. I'd say choose the bike that most appeals to you and take as many test rides as possible. Even rent them out as longer rides reveal the true nature of the bikes. I obviously choose the RS for the reasons I mentioned in the vid. All the best and thanks for your support!

I prefer the RS in terms of the more contemporary looks but the seat comfort in Hness might be a better and it's better suited for accessories (mudguard extender, backrest, etc. ) while the RS looks best in its stock version.

Congratulations on deciding to buy a bike. I can only share my real world of my bike which is Cb350RS... I haven't ridden himalyan 2023 model. I tested last year's model and it was good but I realised the low seat stance of the himalyan isn't for me and I prefer the posture on CB for better handling in the city. I suggest you look at real user reviews of Himalyan but also test ride it extensively if possible to make a decision. Both bikes have different looks, stances and feel, so go with the bike that best suits you as the rider and trust your choice. All the best!

Hi.. thanks for watching. The long route comfort is very subjective as it depends on the riders height weight posture etc. So things might be different for you. Having said that the standard Ribbed seat is not exactly made for long distance in my view. But Hness seemed more comfortable. (Again things can be different for you). Trust your gut at the end of the day. I'd even recommend you rent a CB350 and take a trip before deciding (if renting is an option for you)
