The Honda CB200X is a pleasant surprise with its smooth performance and useful features. The 198 cc engine is great across the rev range—ample for city rides and even on the highway. Even at about 110 km/h, vibrations are negligible. The gear shifts are smooth and you will rarely feel any jitters. I love how the bike is very responsive. Anytime I pull the throttle, the bike races in no time. You can feel the acceleration through the seat. It is rare that the throttle is so light yet powerful unless you have a sportsbike. The lightweight design makes it easy to pull the bike.
The low ride height keeps the weight down and makes the handling easy. While it’s not designed for hardcore off-roading due to limited suspension travel, I still take it off-road thanks to its great engine performance.
