New Honda CBF 190X

[prince666]

Honda unveiled a new small-capacity adventure bike at the China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition in Chongqing (2016}
Called the CBF 190X. (Fight Hawk)

Re-named the TOURISM

It now looks like the bike is ready to be sold by Dealer in China.
The price I will post when I have details.

But from the picture, it looks like it comes with side boxes and crash bars.
Depending on the price it could be a very good starter bike for China.


"LAST week we said that Honda was planning a new Chinese-made, downsized adventure bike based on the CB190R. Now it’s launched exactly that during the 25th anniversary celebrations of its Wuyang-Honda joint venture.

The bike, dubbed CB190X and bearing the terrible name ‘Tourism’ on the tank, is exactly what last week’s patent filings led us to believe. It’s based on sporty-looking Chinese market CB190R, which means it gets the same 184cc air-cooled, fuel-injected single and tubular steel frame. But it’s wrapped in predictable adventure bike styling – beak, high screen, aluminium grab rails, crash bars – and given longer-travel suspension.

According to Chinese site NewMotor, which took these pictures at the bike’s unveiling, the power is the same as the CB190R, with 15.8hp at 8000rpm.

Oddly, Honda already makes another adventure-style bike around the same engine and chassis, the CBF190X Fight Hawk, also sold in China. It, however, keeps the sportier USD forks of the CB190R as well as that bike’s underbelly exhaust, so probably has a little less off-road ability than the new CB190X.

As we said last week, there’s little chance that this bike will ever be sold in western markets, but it would be easy to imagine how a sleeved-down, learner-legal 125cc version could prove popular."

Looks like Shad Box on the rear, same type as the ones fitted to the CFMOTO 650MT

A Chinese friend of mine who has a very large dealership here in China has just confirmed a few points.

1. Cost 15,800 RMB IMO spot on with the price.
2. No ABS so won't be sold to the EU.
3. EFI & Center stand.
4. Sold with Top & side boxes
5. Arrives in the showrooms September.

Those 15.800 yuan or bit more than 2.000 euros are factory or retail price in China?

Here, cheapest "Honda", CB 125 F (which is, in my opinion, not much more than a decent Chinese commuter bike; yes, I know this CB is Chinese made), cost a bit less than 2.700 euros.

If "Honda" can manage to offer this bike in Europe for comparable price, they doesn't have to worry about the ABS - they can even declare brakes as optional equipment.

Weight?

16 HP is not going to be much fun when you overload the luggage and try to tour with it.
