After buying my Honda CB200X, I experienced several issues, such as battery terminal looseness, idling problems and more. To make matters worse, when I took the bike to my hometown after 15 days, the same problems I had experienced before still persisted. The bike failed to meet the standards for idling as it should have risen to 2000 rpm within 30 seconds and then come down to 1500 rpm, but it failed to do so. I would not recommend this bike to anyone as it has been a terrible experience for me. It is important to check all parts of the bike thoroughly, especially for BS6 bikes when it comes to idle issues.
After riding the CB200X for a few weeks, I have noticed both its pros and cons. On the pro side, it is an excellent bike for both long drives and daily use. The style of the bike is very eye-catching and the mileage is good for a 200cc bike. The comfort level of the bike is also good.
On the negative side, the ground clearance is very low and the main stand can get hit on speed breakers. I would have expected more ground clearance for an adventure bike. The pillion seat could have also been slightly bigger. The biggest issue with the bike, however, is the headlight. Even in high beams, it is hard to see the road or objects in front of you. This could lead to accidents if you are not alert while riding. Overall, I would not have expected such a major issue with a bike like the CB200X.
The engine is definitely a plus for the Honda cb200x. It’s a 5-speed, 184cc engine that can handle up to 115km/h without any vibrations. The company claims a top speed of 130km/h, but I was only able to manage 126km/h on mine. The split seats are comfortable, but the pillion seat is definitely not great for long rides.
I would recommend padding it with a cushion if you plan on taking longer trips with a passenger. The windvisor that Honda has included is great, providing protection from the wind up to 80-90km/h. The looks of the bike are also very eye-catching, with its advanced design and ADV stands. People always seem to be asking about it whenever I ride it out.
The front view of the bike is definitely a highlight, it looks great from any angle. All in all, the Honda cb200x is a great machine for both touring and adventure rides. I’ve been very happy with it, and I’m sure you will be too.
The CB200X is an interesting bike. It has a nice look and feel, and it is a good option for those who don't want to invest in a bigger bike. The performance is decent, and it is suitable for short-distance commuting. However, it may not be comfortable for long-distance rides. The service and maintenance costs can be quite expensive. One should remember to change the oil regularly to ensure the bike's longevity and performance.
