What is the top speed of the Honda 190r?
3 Answers
The top speed of the Honda 190r is 122 kilometers per hour, powered by Honda's all-new core3 engine. Taking the 2015 Honda 190r as an example, it belongs to the street bike category with body dimensions of 2029mm in length, 739mm in width, and 1041mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 1356mm, a fuel tank capacity of 12 liters, and a curb weight of 142kg. The 2015 Honda 190r features air cooling, electronic fuel injection, electric start, with a maximum power of 12.4kW and a maximum torque of 16.3Nm. The transmission is chain-driven.
I used to ride the Honda CBR190R frequently a few years ago. From what I remember, its top speed on a straight road could reach around 110 km/h, depending largely on wind conditions or whether the road had uphill or downhill sections. I tried it myself a few times—pinning the throttle on the highway felt exhilarating, but for daily commuting, such speed isn’t necessary. In urban areas, speed limits are typically 50 to 80 km/h, making fuel efficiency more important—this bike averages just over 2 liters per 100 km, which is quite economical. Wearing a good helmet and protective gear enhances safety. A friend of mine experienced some instability at high speeds due to strong winds, so I wouldn’t recommend beginners pushing it recklessly. Regularly checking tire pressure and brake pads is also crucial. Overall, it’s an entry-level motorcycle with decent speed, but focusing on balance rather than just speed is the practical approach.
From an engine perspective, the Honda 190R's 184cc displacement keeps its top speed stable between 100 to 110 km/h. A lighter rider might gain about 5 km/h, but a full tank or carrying a passenger will reduce speed. I often help people with bike repairs and hear many complain about insufficient speed. Actually, the engine tuning leans toward fuel economy rather than racing, so durability outweighs pure top speed. Maintaining the chain and drivetrain well preserves performance. For daily riding, don’t obsess over numbers—wind resistance can slow you down further, which is normal. Changing the engine oil every 500 km ensures smooth operation, and safety should always come first, as speeding increases accident risks.
