Honda Teases New Entry-Level 200cc Adventure Motorcycle, Launching Soon

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India have uploaded a teaser claimed to be an all-new small-displacement adventure motorcycle.

Rumours about the new motorcycle emerged earlier this year, as Honda registered the NX200 in India with reports suggest that the new model is build based on the existing Hornet 2.0.

The major giveaway is the front headlamp, which looks similar to the Hornet 2.0, including the gold front fork.

Nonetheless, the video revealed other apparent details such as a tall windscreen, hand guards, wider handlebars and bigger fairing to complete the ADV look.

Power is likely to come from the same 183.4cc single-cylinder engine available on the Hornet 2.0, capable of producing 17hp and 16.1Nm mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

MV Agusta Plans To Unveil A “Softer” Version Of The Brutale 1000 RR

The MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR has often been criticized due to its over-the-top looks and menacing power.

Despite being labelled as a naked motorcycle, the Brutale 1000 RR is deemed too extreme and lacks the level of comfort needed as a daily commuter.

Moreover, with a price tag of around EUR34,000 (RM170k), the Brutale 1000 RR is rarely considered as a top choice two-wheeler on everyone’s mind.

Nonetheless, the Italian manufacturer intends to do something about it by introducing the Brutale 1000 RS, claimed to be a “softer” version of the current RR.

Based on newly published European type-approval documents, the RS will offer better riding ergonomics thanks to wider and straighter handlebars.

The new variant will also come with a different suspension setup to be better suited for the road.

However, it will retain the same F4-derived powerplant capable of producing 205hp @ 13,000rpm and 117Nm @ 11,000rpm.

Next-Gen BMW R nineT Urban G/S And Scrambler Caught Testing

Despite announcing withdrawal from the upcoming 2021 EICMA, BMW Motorrad has been busy lining up a new range of motorcycles for 2022/23.

A couple of months ago, the Bavarian manufacturer was caught testing the all-new R 1300 GS at BMW’s Enduro Park Hechlingen.

However, in the latest update, the German automaker is back in the limelight as they were spied testing out another two models, the R nineT Scrambler and the Urban G/S.

According to reports, the R nineT Scrambler features a revamped upside-down fork, swingarm and frame, while the 21″ wire-spoke wheels are paired to a Metzeler Karoo 3 tires.

BMW also likely improve the riding ergonomics to increase the off-road capabilities.

The R nineT Scrambler and R nineT Urban G/S are expected to arrive between 2022 to 2023, along with the all-new R 1300 GS.
