Meanwhile in Honda's headquarters: Sheessh that was "fun"..... So when are we launching the next Activa?

Honda's made the right bike but I think the roads are wrong 😂😂😂 Hero Xpulse 200 Proud owner here 😍

8:55 The impulse did a cameo in this video

Shumi mentioned impulse my heart filled with joy as a proud owner .....8years of companionship....70000kms together...blessed😊...8.55 orange impulse

Wellll... Seeing "HeroHonda" together after decades of divorce.. 😂😂 Thanks to PowerDrift 🔥

If Xpulse had the body work like CB200X it would be a dream bike for me. I love how the CB200X looks but prefer Xpulse's overall performance and what it offers.

8:55 a legend was spotted ❣️

Xpulse 4V is enough than that fake 200x sticker

TVS XL100 can also perform good on good roads but the question is who delivers good ride quality on all types of road. It is Xpulse. And it is going more refined with its upcoming 4V engine.

My native is Chennai and xpulse makes a lot of sense because of its upswept exhaust who’s is blessing in floods 😂 and that ground clearance and very low maintenance among the 200cc bikes ✌🏻

4 valve version of xpulse will dominate more over other bikes 🔥

Got the Xpulse 3monrhs back and was worried if the decision was wrong after seeing X but now I'm 3000% sure I'm on the right side

Honda seems a step below in everything nowadays. What they offer is already been notched up a level and offered by another manufacturer. Honda needs to step a little in performance and step down in price

Off road: Xpulse Commuter: RTR2004v SIMPLE 😄

Xpulse any day... During my touring days I have clocked over 400000 kms... With paved roads, off roads and no roads... Having a versatile bike makes sense...

"Honda made a right bike but our roads are wrong" nailed it 🤣🤣🤣

Where Shumi destroyed 200x 's entire career 12:57

"Commuter++". Nailed it Shumi! I love the fact that 200x has desirable ride ergonomics unlike other entries in the huge commuter segment. A 200cc adv from TVS would be a home run IMO.

Xpulse 200 😇 I even purchased it on 10th September Completed 700kms on xpulse awesome enjoying motorcycle

Looking at the current climatic conditions Xpulse will make more sense 🤣

I always wanted a bike that looks like ADV, providing upright posture, mileage and comfort. CB200x is designed for people like me. I bought a Himalayan, which I use most often for commuting in cities. If Honda CB200X was available 2 years ago, I would have bought it over Himalayan. Himalayan is an awesome bike on highways but the mileage and puncture anxiety is too stressful to handle.

Hero has a winner on their hands. Xpulse is a versatile bike. Touring, offroading, commuting... There's nothing it can't do. Proud to be an Xpulse owner

I'd pick the Xpulse 200 for the fact that it is a capable off-roader which can do decent if not amazing on-roading. Honda CB200x is striked off the list because: a. It is just pretentious about being an ADV b. No where near as rugged as the Xpulse c. Way too overpriced d. Does not have a kick starter ( important for me).

Xpulse all day everyday

Honestly, nothing is honest in that CB200X, for me is a glorified SP125

I would blindly go with the Xpulse. It best suits our award winning roads.

The hero x pulse is perfect adv and Good adv bike in it's price segment

No doubt Xpulse is best 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

What more can you expect from a company that focuses on selling more and more Activas every month and not think of bringing something like the cbr 150r which can easily take on the likes of the R15. Honda treats India as a scooter market only and tries to lure customers with these gimmicky products, while gems like the Xpulse (like the impulse) go unnoticed on the roads.

I go off-roading in my honda shine and activa sp and sometimes tvs xl works well to me every time.

When Xpulse Was Launched I Thought It'll Be Another Flop Motorbike,But Once I Saw It's Modifications And Abilities Soon I Became Fan Of It.

Honda made the right bike But Roads are wrong - classic shumi 😂😂

XPulse will be remembered as legend after Karizma r !!

Hero hands down killed off the Honda 200X with the XPulse 200 4V💯💯 This is what the XPulse should have been right from its launch. Hopefully the power is bumped to 20ps

with the 4v coming just modify seats for more comfort, it will kill cb200x in every term

rr310 had 180mm ground clearance. while cb200x calling itself adv 😳 tvs can make a better adv i guess.

1:52 Honda with its mighty 184.4 cc engine overtook a jogger 🤯 That's it, I've made my decision

The Hero Xpulse 200 it is. As Shumi quipped, its an honest bike with the best intentions of what is claims to do. Those extra few CCs and BhPs help. Also, one thing that Shumi and Varun failed to highlight (in depth) is the Ground clearance, the Honda CB200X has a ground clearance lower than my Bajaj Avenger 220 Street!! How about a bike that looks like an ADV but has a ground clearance of a low slung cruiser? On the other side of the spectrum you have the Xpulse which has SUV like GC! Also, some people on this forum are saying they like the looks (with the semi fairing et all) of the CB200X, well there is a reason why a semi-dirt bike doesnt have a fairing and bolt ons, coz these bikes are meant to take a fall or two and those fairings are gonna get loose or crack the moment the bike is on its sides. Apart from the Himalayan, currently, there is no other bike which looks the way the XPulse does. It doesnt wear a Tuxedo coz its not going to a meeting, it wears the gear of a mountain climber coz thats what it is. P.S. I dont own an Xpulse but probably will do once the 4 Valve launches and settles in.

I don't do off-roads & I don't like the looks of Xpulse. My purpose are city rides & long highway touring. I think i should go for CB 200X. What's your opinion @powerdrift @shumi @varun ?

I'd go for FZ25 instead of CB 200X for the same on road price 😆😆

I took the rtr 200 4v after test driving both rtr and hornet 2.0. I felt rtr to be more smoother than the hornet. Hornet started vibrating in the foot pegs and tank after 4.5k rpm while tvs was butter smooth in those ranges

I want xpulse 200 4v For 3 reason 1. Wanna be rough on tough roads 2. I don't wanted to be stressed when my bike falls 3. Mileage and light weight

you guys make videos that it seems you are choosing bikes as your bride and doing swayamvar competition. HAHA HAAAAAHAAA 😂

8:54 u see an impulse in the video as well.... That bike did make an impact for sure.

Thank you PD for sending message to Honda that India expects more from them and they always succeed to disappoint. All they want to sell in India is Activa.

Xpulse always any day. Does everything from daily commuting to weekend thrills. cheaper by 20k and the new 4 valve version will help it on the highway touring as well. So an overall better package and bang for the buck.

Without watching I can say xpulse will win

'Xpulse will be remembered' that the point 🤩

Proud xpulse owner with 74k kms in ODO.. Loves a lot🤩

J I really want an affordable adventure tourer. Currently the cheapest one is The KTM Adv 250. But there's nothing cheaper out there. Xpulse doesn't count because it's an off-roader.

Enfield thump at 7:05 :D .. and btw, who is gonna remember CB200x in 10 years :P nice one guys .. Honda will always be remembered for Activa .. thts what they prefer to sell in India.

If Honda had brought CRF or XR in India, Xpulse wouldnt even had a chance.😂

Xpulse is an honest motorcycle! Shumi's use of words is so precise

Xpulse any day... Especially with the upcoming 4v head.

CB200X - Because I want a reliable simple, 100% road ridden bike with decent power to cruise at 80kmph in a comfortable stance. This ticks the box for a lot of Indians man come on.

A year ago, I bought the BS6 Xpulse after a long hard look at the Hornet 200 and frankly I didn't know that the 200X is coming. When the 200X came out looking so fabulous, I had begun to doubt my choice. But after your insights, I am glad to say that there is nothing I missed out on and I wouldn't have changed my decision even today. As a Xpulse 200 rider I know there are some sore points... The headlight could be better for one. And it isn't great for the pillion... Pillions can go for short distances only without complaint and the rear part of the seat is granite hard. So value for money Xpulse is great. The only alternative is the Himalayan which is much more expensive and very very heavy which was a put off for me. Also the Apache is great, but I chose to trade Horsepower and sharp handling for suspension travel. And it was a good trade off. On the Xpulse I literally had have the confidence to put it through some nasty potholes just to feel it just filter them out totally.

X pulse is an unbeatable legend of it's segment.

I think that has been the problem with Honda India since a very long time hasn't it...they kinda launch safe md outdated motorcycles here which will sell only bcoz of brand value but in terms of innovation when was the last time honda came up with sumthng that changed or atleast created some ripples in the motorcycling industry. Well its an easy choice outta these two...xpulse even if it was more expensive than the honda for me for the sheer fun it brings to u.

Looks like Xpulse 2004v will smoke cbx200 out of competition when it comes out

I sat on the cb200x and the plastics/Fibre panels only made me think about how hard it would be to source those parts once honda drops this bike from its list or the bike gets too old in the market.. I own a cb dazzler which nobody remembers, but its a special bike to me. Bikes made of metal are needed not these cost cutting panels

Thank you shumi, varun for being honest and that's one of many reasons I love powerdrift content.

👍 Liked it.. honest review. New Xpulse with 4 valve is even better with 1 bhp and 1 nm more. Hero also has updated that the mid range and top end is improved with upgraded oil cooler, would run smoother and relaxed. Also with reworked seat contour, 21 percent bright headlight with just 5K price hike is even better and more value for money

Calling 184cc bike as a "200" is funny for them, until calling 373cc bike as a 400 🤣 what a hypocrite

Impulse at 8:55! What are the odds that would happen!

Yeah, Powerdrift 👍👌👌 Really enjoyed the video....👍😌 Just waiting for Xpulse 4Valve version 🤩🤩

Xpluse only 🔥 Waiting ahead for XPULSE 2004V 🖖

Objectively all the advantages of CB200X is in Hornet. Unless your really REALLY like the look of CB200X, I don't see a point on getting cb200x over hornet.

One point you missed is our cities have so many broken roads. Can't do without a taller suspension. In fact, i picked the KTM 390 Adv, a bike with a tall suspension, because of the bad state of the roads in Mumbai and Maharashtra.

I'm eagerly waiting for Xpulse 4V. Hope that it will improve the highway touring. Please compare it with Apache 200 4V l.

Here in upper Himachal, There are xpulses everyone coz people really need that kind of motorcycle here

It’s not that honda has lost charm but indian makers are catching up even surpassing in some cases in small capacity bikes

Xpulse still 💪🔥Unbeatable 🖒

I feel the only question that comes to my mind is how much easy is The Xpulse on the basis of service network of Hero and maintanence cost of Xpulse. The Honda has an advantage over these points. Otherwise the Xpulse seems a better bike if these two points are improved.

Finally, a homegrown Indian motorcycle soundly beating a Japanese one, that too a Honda!!!

Winner of the year hero x

Xpulse definitely 💥 as always fabulous job guys. Hoping tosee some bike drags soon.

The awaited one video.. I have ridden xpulse 200 for long distance it is best when off-road but long distance tour the seat was bit uncomfortable... I waiting to try out cb200x maybe it'll fit me.. I'll mostly use for short rides to college etc and a weekend long ride ✨..I liked the xpulse 🔥🔥.only problem felt was seat ❄️

You can't have a comparison between two 200cc bikes without the RTR 2004v saying a 'Hi’. 😂😂

The amount of satire in this vid will even put the british theater to shame

Feeling proud to be a rtr 200 owner. That bike brought smile on my face.

Realistic review 💙 looking forward for the launch of Xpulse 200 4V and it's first ride review by PD 🔥

Guys you didn't compared these bikes you've roasted cb200x😂😂😂

200x haven't got the umph.. And no one's gonna remember this after 10 years. Well said

I love this channel so much..Hats off for always being honest .Quality content👌🏻

Xpulse anyday 💥❤️

Waiting for xpulse 4v with some technical update like switchable abs, hazard switch& re designed power headlight

Between the xpulse and the cb200x I'd certainly pick the xpulse. But I've got to say this because you brought up the TVS 200: now, that's a well-designed bike with a great frame and engine and poor or inconsistent build quality. So, two years after you get your TVS, it begins to fall apart. Mine rusted away...

Great comparison and loved the points that were discussed ❤️🔥🔥

Honda has such a massive inventory of bikes in its reserve - it could have easily brought in a genuine entry level ADV into India. But why didn’t it do that? Because Honda still believes we Indians are foolish to simple lap up a rebadged Hornet at a whopping 30k extra. Simply for this reason we should simple stay away from this dishonest bike

Well after looking at this comparison.. I think i would like to go with the Xpulse 200T

A hybrid Xpluse with ADV styling and 150kms of electric range with 80-90kmph for city commuting and 200cc of motor with 22 bhp and 20nm will be great for indian market 🔥

Xpulse 200 anyday. Waiting for a 350/400cc Xpulse someday

honda can make a cb300x, a 160 kg adventure tourer and it will be a hit if they do it right.

Xpulse and upcoming 4v will easily kill the cb200x

With our bad roads in the cities, eg mumbai, Xpulse is actually the best city bike. Ask any Impulse owner, Best in the city, best in the mountains.

Xpulse is definitely the best bike for our country. Reasons :- 1. It is an off-roader...like mentioned in this video ...it's not an adventure tourer...it's not a bike that pretends to be an off-roader...it is a hardcore off-roader.. and since most of the roads in our country are off-road tracks ...yeah this fits.. 2. Fuel economy...along with comfort and ride quality Xpulse provides pretty decent mileage too...which is a big factor considering the daily doubling fuel prices. 3. Care free....it's a Hero product...it's affordable to own and to maintain 4. Fun..... When you are off-road what matters is the power-to-weight ratio....more weight = less handling ability...less power = hard to tackle obstacles....in that sense ...Xpulse is perfect....the weight is manageable...and also there is enough power....so when you are off-road all you feel is fun and excitement ...not the fear of falling over and being stuck on somewhere I'm a proud owner of Xpulse (first variant...2019 BS4 Carb version). I learned to ride a bike on this (my first bike). And everyone who cares for me was skeptical about me looking forward to own a "gigantic" bike as a beginner...but it was perfect...it was the perfect one for me ... So if you are looking for a fun, comfortable, easy to go with bike ...then Xpulse is the choice

'Splendor' off-road and On road dual purpose bike,but proud to Owner of Xpulse Ofcourse..

How in heaven's name do you compare an urban Tourer and an Offroader???

Xpulse is also the second or third bike in so many garages! :P Best VFM bike in India atm...
