Honda CB200X Detailed & Honest Review

[@animeshKthakur]

I have upgraded from scooty to this bike. And this is my 1st bike. I just love it. Rightly said: zero vibrations, excellent pick up, the best sitting posture. I did 250 km ride in 5 hours 5 times until now and never felt tired. Problem is with ground clearance during big bumps. You missed the mileage part. I am getting 42-45 Km/ L and on highway goes to 52. Before buying this, I took test ride of fzv3, MT15, hornet 2.0, Gixxer 155 and finally decided to go with this. I used to watch reviews and there were so many people saying that it's just a hornet 2.0 that costs 13k extra, but i realised the difference when I rode all the bikes. I am happy that I rode all the bikes before buying. If anyone wants to go solo, mainly on city and highways, he should buy this.

7:25 "The feedback from the engine is like electric motorcycle", Bro, one cannot be any more accurate! I just came after a test drive of this bike and I am in Love. No matter that anyone says that it's overpriced & underpowered & all, but it's the experience that matters and after taking test drive or various bikes I can certainly say that this is the one! The only problem is that the suspension travel is quite less, so it's on harder side. Definitely, I dont care now about rtr 200 / n250, I am gonna buy either cb200x or hornet 2.0 (more likely)

[@66666sandy]

Strell this is the best review of cb200x, clear and concise. You made it clear from the start it's a road biased bike and did justice. For people who want a stress free riding experience in City and highway (of cruising below 110) this is a perfect bike. People get caught up with lot of less important things like electronics, Bluetooth etc and get influenced in their buying decision to go for something more "value" for money. Most don't understand when on road we look at the road and not at the instrument screen. This is such a sweet tension free motorcycle only few would experience due to price tag and presumed "value" for money status it lacks. I have had a hornet 2.0 and loved it so I know the engine capabilities, I had a v Strom sx , ktm 390 x and finally moved to cb200x, call it downgrade but for me personally it's a upgrade, no more worrying to ride, lightweight, compact, fuel efficient, good looks, reliable, powerful enough for our safe Indian roads where anything that can do 80-100 is enough for me. It's just a perfect, the features it lacks and premium price tag keeps it underrated and out of most people's short list, so does the majority of idiot yt reviewers who review it as a blue blood offroader ffs. Loved your review, honestly better than all the ridiculous youtubers including some highly reputed ones like powerdrift, motorbeam etc who review this bike like a offroader and first comparison they do is with xpulse 🤦

[@sparklysparks77]

Absolutely agree, my friend. I remember buying my first gs150r from a Harley owner, and he mentioned how poor the instrumentation on his gorgeous Harley was compared to the little Suzuki.

[@communist_party_of_china_pbuh]

Very well said about the fact that when we ride on the street, we feel the road, not instruments cluster.

[@sparklysparks77]

Super cool little Honda! I just find it strange it is only 184cc and it does not have a 6 gear transmission. Suzuki's gs150r has 14 ponies and it DOES come with a 6-speed engine. BTW, I'm on my 3rd GS, and cruising at 110Km/Hr in 6th gear should be as refined as in the Honda 200, with only 8600 rpms or so. But then again, Gs150r is a rare bird.

It would've been great if this was a real 200cc engine but sadly this is just a 184cc engine and if you're upgrading from a 155 or 160cc this isn't an upgrade really....this thing can't survive the highway cruising cuz of the underpowered engine and the light weight....go for the dominar 250 or xpulse or apache 2004v instead....owning this bike will be like owning one of those early 2000s pulsars which were modified with hayabusa fairing

I would disagree, A former gixxer Bs3 owner here who just had a test drive of this bike today. Definitely it's way better than what is there on the spec sheet, and very likely I am going for this rather than rtr200 or n250. Sure, it's not for above 100kmph, but below that it rocks

The downside to this little pretty motorcycle is most roads in the United States you need to write something bigger than a 250. And even then the motorcycle hast to do highway speeds. 65 miles an hour or better. It is until recently and I mean like within the last 10 years that they started pushing smaller cc motorcycles. Like in the ranges of 650 to 1100 mL motorcycles.
