Honda bikes in India (29)
FAQs
Trending Questions on Honda Bikes - Answered by Autocar Experts
Hello team. I am currently using the Triumph Scrambler 400X, and it is one of the best motorcycle purchases I have ever made. However, the buzz in the foot pegs bothers me a lot. I am now planning to buy a Honda NX500 as a lifetime purchase. Does this make sense, or should I save money and get a more exciting big bike?
Is there any chance that Honda may relaunch the Honda CB300R again in India?
I want to buy a good motorcycle under โน2.5 lakh. Should I go for the Triumph Speed T4, or should I consider other options?
Is the Yamaha FZX Hybrid a good buy for regular city commuting of around 15-20 km, or should I buy the Honda SP 160?
The Yamaha FZ-X Hybrid is a reliable, proven, fuel-efficient and decently comfortable machine which will serve you well inside the city.
The Honda SP160 is essentially a re-skinned Unicorn with a few more features. So, its performance and fuel economy too will be very similar to that bike.
Both of these Japanese commuters are decent options in the class and we would encourage you to take a test ride of both to determine which one suits you better.
I am confused between the Yamaha XSR 155 and the Honda NX 200. My usage will be mostly city driving with occasional long drives.
Inside the city, both the Yamaha XSR155 and the Honda NX200 will make for good companions, and it will come down to which bike's styling and riding experience you prefer.
The XSR has a pleasing neo-retro design, and it makes a strong case for itself with its R15-sourced engine and chassis. It is also a rather fuel-efficient machine, and the only thing to look out for is that its rear suspension can feel quite stiff over bad roads.
The NX200 - while not a proper ADV in the true sense - has that rugged look that a lot of people desire. It will also feel like the larger, more spacious machine to sit on, so if you are a taller rider, that might be of interest to you. Do bear in mind that its performance won't be as sprightly as the Yamaha's.
A test ride of both across various road conditions will help you make up your mind.
I have been riding scooters for a long time and want to shift to a bike, but I donโt have much experience with geared motorcycles. I stay in a hilly area, so I need something with good power and strong brakes (it rains a lot here). I also want good pillion comfort for my wife. My average running per month is around 400 km, with occasional drives under 100 km. My budget can be stretched to โน2.5 lakh. Thanks a ton.
Considering your usage and budget, you can look at bikes like the Royal Enfield Hunter / Bullet / Classic 350, Honda CB350 trio, TVS Ronin and the Hero Xpulse 210. All have spacious seats, comfortable suspension and have decent braking performance too. A test ride of all these machines with your wife sitting behind you will help you decide which is the right fit for you.
Do bear in mind that making the switch from a scooter to a motorcycle will need good hand and foot coordination to operate the clutch and gear pedal. We recommend you practice on a used bike first before taking the plunge.
I am 37 yrs old, with a serious back pain issue from slipped discs. Due to my job compulsion i need to commute 70 kms daily (30 km highway, 40 km city)on bike. While my old Unicorn is doing okay, i want to get a bike which has the most comfortable ride with least jerking (keeping my back pain in mind). I had earlier found the bullet classic 350 and avenger 220 to be mildly comfortable rides. Budget is not a constraint.
If you want to stay in the same displacement range as your Unicorn, you can look at the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. Both have great suspension, peppy performance and will return similar fuel economy to your Unicorn.
If you want to make a step up, then bikes like the Royal Enfield Hunter / Bullet / Classic 350, TVS Ronin, and Honda CB350 trio will make for good commuting partners. These are bikes with upright, neutral ergonomics, plush suspension setups and torquey, smooth engines. Expect lower fuel economy in comparison to your Unicorn, however, by virtue of its larger displacement.
Lastly, the Hero Xpulse 210 is a wonderful do-it-all machine which will have the best suspension comfort of all the bikes listed here.
A test ride of all of these bikes will help you determine which one is best for you.
I want to change my bike. I currently ride a 2009 Yamaha FZ-S. I am now 37 years old and travel around 60km daily in the city and town areas. What I like about the FZ is how easily it handles traffic, but riding 60km daily has started to feel painful. I am considering options like the Honda CB350 Hโness, Meteor 350, Meteor 650, etc. Please suggest a good daily commuter.
I am looking for a bike that can be used in hilly areas as well as for city and highway riding. My budget is โน2.5 lakh on-road. I am inclined towards Honda or Yamaha and am confused between the MT-15, Hornet 2.0, CB350RS, and NX200.
Hi, I want to buy a 350โฏcc bike and am confused between the Honda CB350 and the Honda Hโness 350. I need a bike that is pillion-friendly, can handle occasional mountain rides, and offers good control in city traffic. Which one is better for both uses?
The Honda CB350 and CB350 H'ness are essentially the same bike wearing different outfits. The former mimics the design language of the popular Royal Enfield 350s, while the latter has a distinct Honda design.
As such, their riding experiences are going to be exceedingly similar and picking between the two will come down to which one you prefer the look of.
Coming to your query, both these bikes offer good pillion comfort and are good to ride in dense city traffic with their neutral handling and light clutch action, thanks to the slip/assist clutch.
