Honda CB350RS vs KTM 250 Adventure

Question 1

Q. Which one is better between Honda CB350RS or Royal Enfield Continental GT 650?

Answer

Both the bikes are good in their own forte. the CB350RS seems like a bit of a missed opportunity from Honda. It could have used the capable foundations of the H’ness to create a more unique motorcycle with a more well-defined identity that would’ve appealed to an entirely new and different audience. Instead, it’s taken this middle-of-the-road approach and created a halfway house that we find hard to recommend to anyone except museum curators. On the other hand, the Continental GT 650 is a fun-to-ride cafe racer. The GT’s sporty riding position makes it much more suitable for twisty mountain roads and even high-speed straight-line blasts. To top things off, the twin-cylinder motor provides the performance and refinement that the 535 simply couldn’t. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision.

Question 2

Q. Which is the best Adventure bike between KTM Adventure 250 and Yezdi Adventure?

Answer

The KTM 250 Adventure is one of the more affordable options. Sadly, the price tag is very hard to justify when it does not live up to the 'adventure tourer' tag. On the contrary the Yezdi Adventure engine is modern and technologically advanced, with a 6-speed gearbox mated to it. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city and brand for dealership details.

Question 3

Q. Main travelling is city commutes and weekned tours. I am confused between KTM 250 Adventure and KTM Duke 250. Which is better?

Answer

Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, etc. KTM 250 Adventure is one of the smoothest KTM single-cylinder engines on sale. 19-/17-inch wheel setup gives better confidence when going over rough roads. KTM 250 Adventure is powered by a 248.76 cc engine. This 250 Adventure engine generates a power of 30 PS @ 9000 rpm and a torque of 24 Nm @7500 rpm. On the other hand, KTM 250 Duke is probably the most un-KTMish KTM of them all, the 250 Duke with its relaxed motor and comfy suspension is a great choice for those who aren’t looking to set lap records but want something quick and convenient for everyday use. KTM 250 Duke is powered by a 248.8 cc engine. This Duke 250 engine generates a power of 30 PS @ 9000 rpm and a torque of 24 Nm @ 7500 rpm. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.

Question 4

Q. Main travelling is city commutes and weekned tours, confused between 250 Adventure, Hness CB350 and Himalayan?

Answer

As per your requirement, we suggest you go for Royal Enfield Himalayan. The Himalayan BS6 is a slightly more well-rounded and desirable motorcycle than before. A bike that’s built for no roads can handle bad roads with commendable ease. In fact, the Himalayan turns you into a bit of a hooligan in the city, because even when you’re faced with the tallest of speed breakers and the deepest of potholes, slowing down isn’t really a very high priority. Need something to ferry you to the office and back? No problem. Want to cruise the highways on weekends? It’ll do it all day and all night long. Finally, had your leave approved and want to ride to Ladakh? This is just the bike for the job. It’ll even keep you entertained on the twisty bits of tarmac you’ll find on the way. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision.

Question 5

Q. Is it good for long solo rides, compared to Husqvarna svartpilen 250?

Answer

Yes. Very stable and smooth on highways. No vibrations at all even at 140kmph

Answer

Honda CB350RS offers a different riding posture than that of Husqy. You do have to lean forward a bit to reach the bars, and the lower body is a bit more cramped than on the H’ness. While this certainly isn’t an uncomfortable position, it does mean that you will be tired out that little bit earlier when you go for longer stints out on the highway. Apart from this, the CB350RS offers excellent ride quality. The RS flattens out bumps superbly and remains quite composed at most times. With the sportier appearance and aspirations, you’d expect this bike to be a sharper handler than the H’ness. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
