Absolutely! The XBlade is built with top-notch build quality and refinement. You’re paying for that legendary Honda reliability.

Not really. Other motorcycles at the 160cc price point offer similar or rather better performance also. The premium on the XBlade is mostly for the brand name.

It depends on what you value. For a look that is completely different and smooth performance, it may be worth the extra cost. If you’re on a tight budget, there are cheaper options that are just as good.

I think it's worth it. The resale value of Honda bikes is generally better, and the XBlade feels more premium than its competitors.

No way, the price difference isn't worth it. For the same price, or less, you can get better bikes with better features and performance.

I’m happy to pay the extra cost for peace of mind. After-sales service of Honda is better than most other brands in India.

It's a tough call. XBlade is a good bike, but at a price, you will be competing with some 180-200cc bikes that would offer better value for money.
Now that Honda has discontinued the XBlade, why did it do so, and will it return?

Apparently low sales were the reason. People usually went for one of those or both instead. The XBlade was stuck in between the Unicorn and the Hornet.

And it's probably making way for a new model. It seems Honda is working on something to better compete with the likes of the Apache RTR 160 4V.

I believe that discontinuing it was a mistake. Honda was known for having a unique design in the lineup, and the XBlade was no different. It should come back with some new updates.

Good riddance, I say. Honda's lineup didn't need an unnecessary model. That segment is a much better offering with the SP160.

They’ll definitely bring it back, but with a bigger engine. Does the XBlade name have any brand value? Of course, Honda won't let that go to waste.

Emissions regulations are all it's about. Maybe they just stopped it because it wasn't cost-effective to update it to meet the latest norms.

I wouldn't be shocked if it came back as an electric model. Honda has been trying to push into the EV space, and the XBlade's futuristic design is something that would suit an electric powertrain.

However, the discontinuation is temporary. If they are, they are most likely retooling the production line for a revamped model. Let's give it a year, and we'll see a new XBlade.

They should never have discontinued it. One of the very few bikes in its segment that came with a digital console and LED headlight as standard was the XBlade. Hope they bring it back soon.

The business sense behind Honda’s decision is sound. Why do we have multiple models in the same segment competing with each other? It’s better to focus on their best sellers.
Is the Honda XBlade 160 really an underrated motorcycle?
17 January 2025 06:40
Absolutely! For a solid performer, the XBlade doesn't get enough credit. The engine is smooth as butter, and it’s got that typical Honda reliability. Also, the design is a little different than most—it’s unique.
Is the Honda XBlade 160 really an underrated motorcycle?
17 January 2025 06:40
No, I would not call it underrated. It's just... average. It’s nothing particularly special among 160cc bikes. Honda has better options in their lineup.

17 January 2025 06:40
I would say it’s underrated, but I would rather say it’s underappreciated. Honda’s marketing has been pretty weak, but it’s a good bike. Perhaps if more people knew what the features were, it'd be more popular.
