Honda CBF190X unveiled in China

Honda unveiled a new small-capacity adventure bike at the China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition in Chongqing; the Honda CBF190X.

The bike is powered by a 184c SOHC air-cooled single cylinder engine, which produces 15bhp at 11,000rpm and 11ftlb of torque at 7000rpm.

It’s unclear whether the CBF190X will be sold in the UK or outside China, although it looks doubtful, as the two other 190cc Honda models – the CB190R and CBF190R – are both China-only models.

Should Honda bring the new model to the UK, there’ll be little competition. BMW’s upcoming G310 GS would be the closest small-capacity adventure bike, but represents a not insignificant jump in size and performance.
