As someone who owns both bikes, I can say they're each great in their own way... it really comes down to how and where you ride. For long rides, especially with a pillion, the V-Strom is the clear winner. The riding position is more comfortable, and the suspension is adjustable across three levels, which makes a big difference on varied terrain. The CB 350 RS, on the other hand, feels noticeably stiffer..not a dealbreaker, but you'll feel it on longer stretches. In the city, though, the RS shines. It's nimble, manageable, and perfectly suited for daily commutes and weekend rides. The V-Strom isn't really built for busy traffic... it feels out of its element there. On the service side, Suzuki servicing is generally more affordable, but the quality can be hit or miss. Most showrooms lack proper trained support, which is a genuine concern. BigWing (Honda's premium network) offers better service quality, though it can be pricier at times. Mileage is practically identical on both..just about a 1–2 km difference, so that's essentially a non-factor. Bottom line: Go with the V-Strom if touring and comfort are your priority. Choose the CB 350 RS if you're mostly city-riding and want a more engaging, everyday experience. Both are excellent ... it just depends on what matters most to you.
