    I purchased this bike in 2015 February. It's been more than 9 years now. I still enjoy this vehicle. The odometer kilometer is reaching 1 Lakh 10 Thousand Kilometre. I don't know when to change this vehicle. But this is my favourite one. but so unhappy when Honda discontinued this vehicle. It's really wonderful experience so far.

    **Disadvantage Review: Honda Unicorn 160**
    As an owner of the Honda Unicorn 160, I have experienced several drawbacks that I believe potential buyers should be aware of before making a purchase decision. Here are the key disadvantages from my perspective:
    1. **Engine Performance:**
    - Despite being marketed as a commuter bike, the engine performance of the Unicorn 160 falls short in terms of power and acceleration. It struggles to deliver adequate performance, especially when overtaking or riding on highways.
    2. **Vibrations at High Speeds:**
    - One of the major drawbacks of the Unicorn 160 is the noticeable vibrations experienced at higher speeds. This can be uncomfortable for longer rides and affects the overall riding experience.
    3. **Build Quality:**
    - While Honda is known for its reliability, the build quality of the Unicorn 160 leaves much to be desired. Several plastic components feel flimsy and prone to wear and tear over time. Additionally, the fit and finish of certain parts are not up to the mark.
    4. **Suspension Setup:**
    - The suspension setup of the Unicorn 160 is on the stiffer side, resulting in harsh ride quality, especially on uneven road surfaces. This can lead to discomfort for both the rider and the pillion, particularly on longer journeys.
    5. **Lack of Modern Features:**
    - Compared to its competitors in the same segment, the Unicorn 160 lacks modern features such as LED lighting, digital instrument cluster, and smartphone connectivity. This makes it feel outdated and less appealing to buyers looking for a more technologically advanced bike.
    6. **Limited Fuel Efficiency:**
    - Despite being a commuter-oriented bike, the fuel efficiency of the Unicorn 160 is not as impressive as expected. It lags behind some of its rivals in terms of mileage, which can be a concern for budget-conscious buyers.
    7. **Competitive Pricing:**
    - The Unicorn 160 is priced competitively in the market, but considering its shortcomings in performance and features compared to other bikes in the same price range, it may not offer the best value for money proposition.
    In conclusion, while the Honda Unicorn 160 has its strengths such as reliability and brand reputation, it is overshadowed by several notable disadvantages including subpar engine performance, vibrations at high speeds, and lack of modern features. Potential buyers should carefully consider these drawbacks before making a purchase decision.
