I just saw this bike at bike production last week Saturday. They have the black and repsol version. imo I think this is really a nice move by Honda to compete with other brands like Yamaha, ktm. the panel, body, exhaust looks good and appealing to me compared to my duke 200.

And best thing new otr is 12K to 13K. bike shop had commented that they sold aplenty of them but riding wise I have no idea.

But coming from Honda, I don't think they will go wrong anywhere..

Hi, I'm a P-plate rider who bought the Honda CB190R as my first motorcycle. While I'm no expert, I would like to give my own personal review, having travelled 1000km with it so far in less than 2 weeks.

 

First of all, I think it is important to describe a little about myself as a rider so as to put some context into the review. I'm 29yo, 1.78m, 80+kg, and my main use of having a bike is to commute to work daily from east to west (Tampines to Boon Lay; yeah it totally sucks), and I have intention to go into msia (up to Malacca) once I’m confident of my riding skills to visit friends and relatives.

Taking into account practicality and my usage needs, I only considered naked street bikes because of its upright riding position, relative longer riding range (fuel economy X fuel capacity), flexibility to add top and side boxes (without looking stupid) and decent enough speed. My initial shortlist includes the Bajaj Pulsar NS200, KTM Duke 200, Yamaha FZ16/150, Honda CBF150 and the Honda CB190R. I was actually quite geared towards the pulsar because of its price:performance ratio (at least on paper), but on the day I passed my 2B TP (at CDC), I went over to Boonsiew Honda next door and took a look, and I fell in love with the CB190R when I saw it. After deliberating for a while, I decided to give up getting the NS200 because 1.) Universal Motor is quite far from my home and the thought of going there for servicing all the time kinda puts me off. 2.) Honda is reputable for its motorcycles as well as abundance of parts both local and overseas (I bought many aftermarket accessories for it from Taobao already!), and Ubi is relatively closer to my home.

So after riding it for 1000km, here are some of my thoughts.

The first 800km was the running-in period, and I tried my best not to push it too far (beyond 6k rpm). After the first (mineral) oil change, I was able to push it a little harder (the mechanic at Boonsiew say it’s ok to push to 100% after the first oil change). Top speed was rated to be about 122km/h (which in my opinion, is rather modest and somewhat disappointing for a 184cc engine) , based on some initial video reviews found online. 6k rpm at top gear is only about 60+km/h. The highest I went was about 105km/h (for only a brief moment) at about 8k+rpm. Redline is at 9.5k rpm. Midrange to high range acceleration is quite responsive, but moving off from first gear is very sluggish. Not sure if it’s my riding technique or what, but I often get out accelerated by other smaller 2b bikes at the traffic light, only to overtake them later. Engine vibrates quite abit in general, but I guess that’s expected from 2b bikes.

Fuel economy seems rather good. There’s no indicators, but based on my mileage and 2x full top ups (Caltex 98) so far, fuel consumption is about 55km/l (during running in period) and 50km/l (mix of running in and normal use). I suspect the FC will go down to about 45km/l once I start speeding along the PIE to and fro work every day, which is still pretty awesome fuel economy.

Brakes are very responsive and powerful, thanks to its two big disc brakes and perhaps the fact they are very new. There are times where I felt that I almost get a little fishtail whenever I hit the rear brake suddenly.

Suspension is quite good, and I could go 40-50km/h over humps without much butthurt (I normally adopt a half standing position when I go over humps anyway).

The dash and instrumentation is very nice, with nice electronic LCD displays. I only wished that there was a gear indicator (there’s an aftermarket accessory for that). I also don’t like the fact that it’s not a conventional handle bar, there is no visible bar in the middle to allow for clamping or mounting of accessories such as dashcam, phone/gps holder etc. My IU was fixed under my left mirror, and I think I will find a phone holder that goes under my right mirror. Another thing I don’t like is the position of the horn. I often accidently flick the horn when turn on/off the signal lights. Maybe it’s just me.

The throttle seems to have a long play, making a very large angle from close to fully open throttle. Maybe it’s to discourage riders to open throttle all the way.

Seat height is ok for me (but then again, I’m tall) but I wished the seat was a little more narrow. It’s slightly wide for my liking. Pillion seat is very comfortable although a little high.

The exhaust is very compact and minimalistic, reducing the likelihood of pillion getting burnt at the legs. However, the exhaust design may have affected the engine performance. I’m looking forward to legal aftermarket exhaust for the CB190R.

Front and rear lights are nice and bright but yet not glaring thanks to LED illumination.

That’s all for now. I may update again when I reach 5000 km mileage and after changing to fully synthetic engine oil. I welcome any questions or discussions.

Hi there, thank you so much for the great sharing! I am considering this bike for my first bike as well, and I would like to ask a couple of questions.

 

What was your financing/ payment scheme like buying directly from Boon Siew?

 

I've seen some images from places like Speedzone of other colour options, are those available in SG/ at Boon Siew?

 

Finally, if I don't buy accessories like tail box from Taobao, do they have it at Boon Siew as well?

 

Thanks!

I paid in full. Boonsiew doesn't have loan packages like the other dealers. You would have to get ur own personal loan if you want to buy at boonsiew.

 

Available colours are only red, black, and repsol. At least that's what I know officially.

 

They may have the box, if not, they will actually refer u to their authorised dealers for accessories e.g. Mah Motors.

How do you feel about the bike's low rpm pickup now?

No longer feel that way now. The bike is actually quite torque-y if you handle it properly. Most of what i mentioned in my previous review is kinda outdated/inaccurate as i got to know my bike better :)

Anyone had issues with their forks? Mine doesn't seem to bounce back up immediately after braking and a full stop.
