    For us, one of the best aspects of the Italjet stand at this years EICMA was the stripped-down Dragster displayed on a ramp which you could move up and down and take a close look at exactly how the Dragster is designed & engineered.
    Italjet Singapore exclusive distributor: Scooter Narcotics

    109 Kaki Bukit Ave 1, Singapore 415989
    Tel: +65 9009 2371
    If you've missed our initial article on the Italjet Dragster, more details on specs, arrival in Singapore, and how you can purchase your very own piece of art:
     

    Not many manufacturers, especially scooter manufacturers, would ever dare display their bikes naked at a show, as typically, all the ugly bits or design shortcuts are hidden underneath the panels.

    When you get the chance to see the Dragster exposed like this, you realise what makes it unique and why the Dragster is in a different league than any other scooter ever made. It would seem that Massimo Tartarini, the designer of the Dragster and President of the company, has put just as much effort into designing the bits you wouldn't usually see as he did the sculptured outer panels.

    Every little detail is placed perfectly and with careful thought, even down to things like the ABS pump, wiring and fuel tank.  
    Italjet are famous for their frame design, The trellis frame on the Dragster looks impressive with or without the panels, but when stripped down, you can really appreciate its modular nature and see the various pieces that fit together to form the core on which the Dragster is built.

    One thing people need to understand about the Dragster is this is not simply a product Italjet want to release to make money, but it has real passion behind it. Italjet wants to show the world what they can do and how they refuse to conform to the normal, and the new Dragster couldn't be any further away from normal. 

    Massimo commented in a recent interview that he is not interested in creating a sensible commuter vehicle; instead, Italjet has a key focus on high-end machines that break the mould and stick the middle finger up to practicality. 

    The Dragster appeals to those who have an eye for design and appreciate engineering its fair to say the level of detail on the Dragster is easily on par with the likes of MV Augusta or Ducati, You could even argue it's in some ways better. Taking this into account, the Dragster is exceptionally good value for money. Some people have said it's a bit expensive for a scooter, but the Dragster is so much more than a scooter. Its automotive artwork driven by a true passion for innovation and design.

    These days we find many manufacturers sharing components, copying other people's designs or simply rebadging otherwise identical vehicles. So it's a real breath of fresh air to see a new scooter that is entirely bespoke, except for the Piaggio engine that powers the new Dragster.

    The original Dragster was considered by many as one of the best scooters ever made. Well, it's back and ready to take its throne back. To me, it also signifies one final hurrah before we are all forced to go electric. 

    Long live the King!
    Excerpt from Bobby Becks.

    When Honda first teased the bike – that eventually came to be known as the CB200X – everyone one, including me, got a little too excited hoping for an entry-level adventure bike. However, that is not what this is as it is a CB after all and not a CRF or NX. While Honda’s CB range is quite extensive, they are mostly meant for the road. However, this one has a little X in its name and let me tell you what that’s all about.

    Honda CB200X: design

    The X, in this case, has resulted in some big cosmetic changes. Firstly, they’ve added a semi-fairing that looks the part and the front end borrows heavily from the CB500X, with sharp lines and long shrouds on both sides. The 200X also gets a windscreen that looks nice and does a fairly decent job of wind protection while giving the motorcycle a taller stance.
    More ADV-like touches come in the form of knuckle guards that have the LED turn indicators neatly integrated – something you find in exotic ADVs like the Ducati Multistradas. Honda has also made sure the fairing flows nicely with the fuel tank and that has resulted in changes to the outside of the 12-litre tank. This CB also has a redesigned belly pan, but it is made of plastic and is purely a cosmetic element. From the rear, the bike looks identical to the Hornet 2.0 with the unique X-shaped LED tail-light.
    Honda CB200X: features

    Sadly, there haven’t been any additions to the features list and the bike still uses the simple digital display that’s missing Bluetooth connectivity. Like on the Hornet 2.0, this negative LCD display has five levels to adjust brightness, two trip meters, a battery voltage meter and a gear-position indicator. The hazard light switch is quite useful, to be sure, but it turns off when you switch the ignition off. The CB200X is also missing features like a USB charging socket or a more practical touring-style grab rail with easy luggage mount points.

    Honda CB200X: handling and ride

    The handlebar has been raised 61mm and brought closer to the rider by 50mm. The seat is about 23mm longer and padded differently to aid comfort – it sits slightly higher at 810mm as a result. The foot peg placement wasn’t too aggressive on the Hornet 2.0, which is why it works in this format. I quite like the upright riding position and feel it works rather well with the easy-going nature of this bike. The taller handlebar results in the front-end feeling slightly less connected, but it is a small price to pay for the added comfort that comes with this riding position. The bike also sifts through traffic well and doesn’t feel big or cumbersome.
    The CB200X is 5kg heavier than the Hornet, but at 147kg, it is still very light and hasn’t lost its agility. The block-pattern tyres will probably help to an extent on rough terrain, but the grippier Maxxis tyres that the Hornet comes with would have been better. With 167mm ground clearance, the CB200X can definitely do some mild off-roading, but to the same extent as the Hornet as the suspension and wheel sizes remain unchanged. However, if you plan on taking it off-road a lot, it’d be best if you remove the main stand as it hangs a bit too low.

    The ride quality is similar to the Hornet’s and is set-up slightly firmer than most sub-Rs 2 lakh Hondas. The front does have some give, but the rear could have been slightly softer in this application. Slowing this bike down does require a good pull at the brake lever but it gets the job done. The X gets single-channel ABS, like the Hornet, but a switchable system would have been nice at this price point. However, this does mean that you can slide around the rear wheel for fun.
    Honda CB200X: engine and gearbox

    As for the engine, it’s the same air-cooled, two-valve unit as the one on the Hornet 2.0. We had the opportunity to test that bike a few months ago and it took 14 seconds to get to 100kph – not a class-leading number – but it isn’t bad. Given that this is the same bike underneath, albeit slightly heavier, we can expect similar performance.

    The 200 in the name is a bit misleading because this is still a 184.4cc motor. Nevertheless, this engine sounds refined at idle, but a bit stressed as you get higher in the rev range. That being said, the vibrations are well isolated and you get hints of them through the foot pegs near the redline. Like on the Hornet, the CB200X’s punchy low and mid-range is enjoyable. Despite missing a six-speed gearbox, it does around 95kph without feeling like it’s working too hard, but anything above 110kph is when it starts to struggle.
    It may look like a long-distance tourer, but like its naked sibling, the city is where this powertrain excels. The engine is tractable and lets you carry very low speeds than you are used to, in higher gears. Pair that to the light clutch and you have a really good motorcycle to take on traffic.

    Honda CB200X: should you buy one?

    The Honda CB200X is now available at motorcycle dealers here in Singapore, though no word from official Honda distributor Boon Siew Honda yet. We suspect being an India domestic model, the CB200X will not be something we see being sold through the authorised channels. Initially sensing in the market, with COE at an almost all-time high of S$9,601, there is quite a premium placed on the Honda CB200X hovering at around S$16,000-S$18,000 on the road. While that is quite a gap for similar equipment, it does buy you additional road presence thanks to design elements like the proportionate fairing, the windscreen and the neat knuckle guards. You are also seated in a more upright and comfy manner and that certainly has its advantages as well. Ultimately, these are the reasons to consider buying this motorcycle.
