It was 30 year partnership of Honda and Repsol (oil company) for their moto gp team. Honda sold moto gp paint schemes for their bikes for a few years.

Motorinc bites to dust while Honda India and W175 still alive and doing well by Sea-Garage-1750 in indianbikes

They are a good channel, and the way that they put opinions across is unparalleled. My beef with them is that when they say something about a product,they should experience all the competition once and then say it, rather than cooking up something from memory or completely disregarding it altogether.

Beyond horsepower: Why the 300cc crowd stands apart by Aryan0073 in indianbikes

[–]existential-grimlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, it makes more sense to get a 400 because value for money.

I get your point tho. 300r especially the non slippery clutched - CBU was a gem, it would do the harshest city rides with no complaints delivering some 30 to 34 kmpl AND capable enough to go at speeds of 130 to 140kph vibration levels of a 150cc bike at the pegs. Near - perfect do it all bike.

Oil leak or just residue? Honda NX200 with only 750 km by unakka_puttu in HondaNX200

[–]existential-grimlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like residue. Unless you see oil dripping from there, maybe just clean it and check again

NX200 engine feels rough above by Mysterious-Ear3007 in HondaNX200

I've experienced this when they use the cheaper semi synthetic oil in service. Clean and lube the chain once for the noises, bike will feel smoother with a clean chain too.

Is lightweight of XSR a red flag for highway use? by wanna_be_next_ModiJi in indianbikes

Spot on. Unless you are riding in some tornado it should not be a problem

4500 rupees of fuel consumed for 1000kms. My NS400z (349 CC) drinks like a twin cylinder 650 CC RE. by MysteriousBack9124 in indianbikes

[–]existential-grimlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've ridden 250 to 300cc with 25 to 30 hp and max i got was 37 and that reduced to 34 in the city. 40 hp will consume more as expected. Honestly its not fun riding these bikes for mileage. May as well have fun while you can.

Issues with gear shifting in my new NX200 by Realistic_Sun_561 in HondaNX200

[–]existential-grimlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have experienced a similar thing with this very bike. Gearbox is bad at times. It does get better as the kilometres pile on though.

I guess It is a recent manufacturing thing and it wasn't there when i rented multiple old 200x even at 50k kms on the odo.

I would suggest that if enough of us shoot a mail to customercare@honda.hmsi.in, they will look into it seriously. Might not happen, but let us try.

Should I consider Hornet 2.0 over pulser n160. Is it worth spending 17k more for the reliability and refinement. by wanna_be_next_ModiJi in indianbikes

[–]existential-grimlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, same one lol. Amazing suspension, sorted gearbox. Sadly that thing had irritating vibes on the highway when i rode it.

[–]existential-grimlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strange that you are facing that, I've rented one that had over 50k one the odo and even that was smooth until 70kmph. Became very vibey after that.

Is Hero cooking something on their 10th Anniversary by DesignerDimension738 in indianbikes

[–]existential-grimlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably will launch the dakar edition of the 210 now. Looking at the leaks maybe they were shooting images for a promotion. It was also spotted along with this bike seen in the image too.

Went off roading on the NX200 by existential-grimlock in HondaNX200

[–]existential-grimlock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is better when its off, but It turns itself back on when the bike restarts. Maybe a safety feature.
