Honda CTX 200 Bushlander

With the introduction of the all new CTX200 Bushlander, Honda has re-set the benchmark for Agricultural motorcycle standards. Designed from the ground up to suit the specific needs of the modern day Australian farmer, the CTX200 Bushlander is loaded with practical features, and Honda's proven durability and reliability ensure that it will more than earn it's keep on your farm.

The new CTX200 combines the heritage and features of its predecessor, the CT200, and the technology and bullet-proof reliability of Honda’s XR range, resulting in an Ag-bike that is an invaluable tool for any farmer.
Concept
In designing the Honda CTX200, the primary objective was to create a new generation Agricultural model that is easy to operate, comfortable to ride and designed specifically for Australian conditions. Through extensive market research Honda ascertained that Australian farmers desired a motorcycle that could handle the extremely diverse conditions and long distances that characterise Australian rural properties. This is why characteristics of the XR range of motorcycles such as reliability, strong engine performance, and good handling and suspension have become an integral part of the new CTX200.
Aspects of XR design are visible in features such as:
• Front hydraulic disc brake
• Large diameter front forks
• Pro-Link type rear suspension
• Long comfortable thickly padded seat
• XR style front mudguard
• Single cylinder engine with strongower and a wide torque range.

The new CTX200 also retains many of the user-friendly attributes of the original CT200 that made it so successful, while also incorporating features of the mighty XR range to increase it’s useability in a variety of applications. All of these design elements combine to make the CTX200 easy to operate and comfortable to ride so farmers can concentrate on the job at hand.
