Honda has trademarked the name NX200 in India. According to a media report, this name is likely to be used for an adventure bike based on the Hornet 2.0.

The Honda NX200 is likely to be powered by the same 184.4cc, air-cooled single-cylinder engine that is used in the Hornet 2.0. This engine puts out 17 BHP @ 8,500 rpm and 16.1 Nm @ 6,000 rpm and is mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

The NX200’s styling is likely to be inspired by the CB190X and CX-02 Concept. It is expected to get a long-travel suspension setup, dual-purpose tyres, raised handlebars and a revised footpeg position. Other features could include a tall windscreen, LED headlight, fuel tank with long extensions, knuckle guards and a luggage rack.
