The DLX Pro variant in the CB350RS now comes equipped with the Honda Smartphone Voice Control System (HSVCS), which allows the rider to connect a smartphone via Bluetooth to access features like phone calls, navigation, music playback and messages (through the left switch cube). This feature was earlier only available in the DLX Pro variant of the H’ness CB350.
The 2023 iteration of both bikes also come equipped with Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), which triggers the turn indicators to flash upon sudden or hard braking. The H’ness CB350 now also comes with a split seat as standard.
In addition to all of the above-mentioned new features, Honda had also recently rolled out a suite of custom kits for the H’ness CB350 and the CB350RS. These kits help one customise both bikes and transform them into various avatars, ranging from a tourer, cafe racer and even something as unique as an SUV. Check out these kits in detail here. All six kits are slated to be made available across all BigWing dealerships by the end of March, and will have one-year warranty as standard.

Hence, the steep price hike across the H’ness CB350 and CB350RS lineup remain unjustified for a minor increase in features.
The H’ness CB350 rivals the likes of the Royal Enfield Classic 350, Yezdi Roadster, Benelli Imperiale 400 and Jawa. The CB350RS goes up against the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, Yezdi Scrambler and TVS Ronin.
