The Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 is a reskinned KTM 390 Duke with both bikes sharing the same engine, chassis and feature-set. As such, the Svartpilen will offer you considerably more performance than the CB350RS, and it will also have the stiffer suspension setup - it's not harsh, but definitely feels more taut than the Honda.On the other hand, the Honda CB350RS is more laidback in terms of its seating position and torquey, air-cooled engine and will have a much lower performance ceiling than the Husqvarna. Its suspension is quite well-judged and will likely be more pliant than the Svartpilen, too.You should take a test ride of both bikes to see which one suits you better, as both bikes have very different personalities and price points.

Of the three Royal Enfield 650s you have shortlisted, none of them has particularly comfortable rear suspension, especially so in the city. The Himalayan 450 would be the logical choice between the four you have considered but if you want something a little more manageable and nimble inside the city, you can look at its sibling - the Guerrilla 450.If you want something that will stand out and look good, the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 is a unique option that you can consider. Underneath its svelte, Swedish bodywork are the KTM 390 Duke chassis and engine, so you should have a supremely talented bike that will also be uncommon.
