Honda CB Unicorn 150 Price in Pimpri-Chinchwad

Cons:
1. The primary dissatisfaction stems from the bike's fuel efficiency, which falls short of the advertised mileage. The observed significant deviation has been disappointing, affecting the overall experience with the vehicle.
2. The bike's suspension system poses issues, especially on uneven surfaces, leading to a less-than-smooth ride. The suspension lacks the necessary responsiveness, causing discomfort during rides.
3. Headlamp design remains unchanged since its launch in the Indian market over 16 years ago. It maintains a typical old style with no LED implementation, resulting in low-intensity light, especially with battery and dynamo, making night riding challenging.
4. The bike's appearance hasn't seen improvements, featuring a typical analogue speedometer with no smart features like Bluetooth connectivity, Android support, or a digital look.
5. The quality of parts manufactured in India after 2024 has diminished compared to those imported from Japan earlier (2012-14), mainly due to cost-cutting and bypassing BIS standards for local manufacturing.
6. High pick-up requires frequent changes to the chain socket and chain every six months (5-6000KM), incurring additional costs.
7. The engine produces high heat and smells during long rides (over 50 Km), even when using full synthetic oil.
8. Rear tire grip and brake liner are not up to the mark, with skidding becoming a common problem after 15,000 km.
9. Honda front disk pad quality is subpar, requiring replacement after 3000-4000 Km at an additional cost.
10. In the commuter segment, the bike lacks sufficient comfort settings, leading to back pain and shoulder pain after 150-200 km rides.
Pros:
1. Purchased in March 2010, the engine has been outstanding, requiring only one-time engine work (piston ring change) to date, covering 155,000 km. Note that the engine wear was imported from Japan.
2. No major parts, including the chassis, handle, brake disk, suspension, and fuel tank, have been damaged to date.
3. The bike is considered value for money, having been purchased for around 78,000 INR. Even after covering 155,000 km, potential buyers are willing to pay 30,000 to 35,000 INR. Comparatively, the new Unicorn costs around 1,38,000 INR (in Pune).
4. Honda maintains a good brand value in the Indian market.

About the Reviewer

Completely dissatisfied, with the useless bike wastes 1 lacs, and daily headaches, can't ride the bike without choak and giving mileage 25-30 km.
I have raised a complaint but no response from Honda.
The private garage owner suggested changing the Corborater set which may resolve my issue but no Honda dealer took any initiate for the same.
Please don't purchase, my personal experience is very bad with Honda.
