Honda NX200

First of all the overall experience with this motorcycle:-
Please read the complete review for the genuine user feedback. ia have ridden this bike for aorund 5500km till date.
People really do ask me which bike is this, how much is the cost and what is the engine size. As soon as i tell the engine size they laugh and say just 184CC, i thought it was a bigger one like a 300CC or 400CC. This happens with me atleast once a week since i have purchased this motorcycle.
This motorcycle actually looks good when loaded with accessories.
The accessories i have installed are:-
1) Legundary customs Crash guard- Really sturdy and best in class finish quality. Also the material is also very sturdy.
2) BOBO Phone mount BM 14 Pro Plus.
and some tyre stickers of bad quality whose color faded.
I am riding this motorcycle since April 2025. In These 6 months i have noticed some things on the vehicles in Pros and cons.
Pros:-
1) Aggressive looks- people stop to ask which bike is this.
2) Dual channel ABS Works pretty well.
3) Stability on high speeds (100+)
4) Front suspensions
5) Honda roadsync support on TFT Display is a great great thing for me for picking up call, changing music, replying to messages on whatsapp
6) Honda BIG Wing service experience. (Yes it is expensive than the conventional Honda service centre, but you get priority support high quality machines, high quality work, no scratces on vehicle when out on test drives, various suggestions from BIG Wing Service advisors, Etc.)
7) Lightweight vehicle. Just 148kGs. absolutely stunning in neck to neck traffic and great manuverability.
8) Upright and comfortable seating position
9) Great Engine performance in low end and mid end. this motorcycle is not made for racing purpose and serves the purpose well. All thanks to honda's reliability on engines.
Cons:-
1) Seats are not at all comfortable. Its not soft and not hard either but riding the motorcycle for more than a hour starts maing pain in hips. Pillion seat is also not comfortable and is very small in size too.
2) Rear Suspension is very stiff. i got it adjusted with pre load setting but after some days it felt like same before. no change.
3) The Chain noise- Even after thorughly cleaning and lubricating there i noticable chain noise while running. also the noise comes after chain tension adjustment as specified in the user manual from Honda.
4) Sometimes feel like the handle bar is placed on a lower side. also there is a slight issue in front wheel alignment with handle (my thinking). because while riding it sometimes feel uncomfortable on my right elbow. it starts paining. I also got it checked in service but they refused to check and said remove the aftermarket crash guards and then give us the vehcile for inspection.
5) Plastic fit and finish quality is not upto the mark. there is panel gap, unfit panels near display and headlight, below pillion grab handles.
6) vibrations are there on high speeds like 90+ and increases by speed after that. (This might be due the crash guard. Will check after removing the crashguard again)
7) Mileage:-
The mileage of this motorcycle gave me mixed feelings. i have checked other people videos and reviews and they are getting 40+ and 45+ mileage.
But in my case i was getting approximately 44Kmpl mileage before 1st service. Then the mileage dropped to around 35-36kmpl after 1st service. Then after second service the mileage currently i am getting is around 36-37kmpl.
8) Gear changing noises:- when changing gear from 1st to 2nd and then 2nd to 3rd gear then is very loud clunk/thakk sound and this is coming after 1st service only.
9) Fit and finish quality is only 60% acceptable as per my opinion. there is a panel near my foot like middle panel from gear level on left side on motorcycle. it is attached with 2 hooks and 1 bolt. that one bolt is so tight and have damaged the threads of its seat due to which that plastic panel is loose. so while going on a rough patch of road it sounds like plastic rubbing touching the metal parts.
That's all currently. if any updates are there i will surely edit the review

I purchased the bike in 25th Oct 2025. After riding 1000km given the review.
Looking wish bike is very nice, it's a public attention bike, Mileage got 54.49km after 1st service. But there are something cons in this bike.
Bike suspension is not good and the seat comfort also. Bike lighting is not for highway riding. You need some extra fog light. Rest are all good.
