Make your road presence felt with the Honda CB200X

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.
