That's true! Honda has unveiled a 200 cc adventure motorcycle which goes by the name of CB190X. it is a product of the Honda-Wuyang joint venture which recently completed 25 years of existence. A few days ago, we had said that Honda had patented a design for a small displacement adventure motorcycle and now the company has taken the wraps off the bike at an event in China. The Honda CB190X is based on the popular Honda CB190R, which is a sub 200 cc naked bike on sale in China.

From the looks of it, the bike also seems to get long travel suspension as well. As far as the engine is concerned, the CB190X gets a 184 cc motor single-cylinder engine which is air-cooled and fuel-injected. The engine makes around 15.4 bhp of max power at 8,000 rpm.

We do not believe that Honda Motorcycle And Scooter India will ever bring this bike to India, but if they actually do, Honda just might have a winner on its hands. A sub 200 cc adventure bike for India does looks like a tasty proposition. Keep your fingers crossed!
