Make your road presence felt with the Honda CB200X
The Hindu
A Sleek design, easy performance even at very low speeds and its light weight, makes the Honda CB200X worth considering
The Honda CB200X may look like an entry-level adventure bike at first glance, but it is not. It is a CB and not a CRF or NX. While Honda’s CB range is quite extensive, they are mostly meant for the road andtheX sports some big cosmetic changes.
First, they have added a semi-fairing that looks the part and the front end borrows heavily from the CB500X, with sharp lines and long shrouds on both sides. The 200X also gets a windscreen that looks nice and does a fairly decent job of wind protection while giving the motorcycle a taller stance.
More ADV-like touches come in the form of knuckle guards that have the LED turn indicators neatly integrated — something you find in exotic ADVs like the Ducati Multistradas. Honda has also made sure the fairing flows nicely with the 12-litre fuel tank and that has resulted in changes to its outside. This CB also has a redesigned belly pan, but it is made of plastic and is purely a cosmetic element. From the rear, the bike looks identical to the Hornet 2.0 with the unique X-shaped LED tail-light.

“I’ve never even been to these places before,” she laughed, “and suddenly I have memories in all of them.” The dates, she added, were genuinely good — long walks, easy conversations, and meals that stretched late into the evening — and the best part was that none of it felt heavy. The boys she met are all planning to visit her in Mumbai soon, not under without any pressure but with a sense of pleasant continuity. “I’m great,” she said, and she meant it.
