        The bike is in good condition overall. All the color options are very nice. It offers great comfort. The digital meter is impressive, and the led light is also a great feature.

        The Honda RS 350 offers a retro-style design combined with modern comfort, making it perfect for the new generation of riders. It delivers efficient fuel consumption and comes with great features. The riding comfort is excellent, both in city conditions and for light off-roading. I would highly recommend this bike to all riders. It has a café racer look and a decent exhaust note, although not the loudest but that's typical of Honda.
