User Review of CB Unicorn 160 by Rajesh

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.

About the Reviewer

**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 This makes it feel outdated and less appealing to buyers looking for a more technologically advanced bike.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.

About the Reviewer

Very bad experience with unicorn BS6, it breakdown any anywhere at any time, frequently Maintenance come. In one year of completion, it gives more problems, The Battery went faulty in one year and has no warranty, the service centre didn't support it and they required 24 hrs to solve even if it takes 5 min resolution, I didn't recommend.

About the Reviewer

For any bike its engine is the core part, so here only Honda is lacking. This bike's engine cannot sustain a long time ride if the tachometer reading goes high. My bike's engine got repaired twice, first when it clocked 20k km and now again it's in repair after 31k km rides which actually shouldn't happen. Now it's undergoing a complete engine overhaul. Its crank and piston are not good I must say. Vibration sound happens which ultimately leads to engine damage.

About the Reviewer

Excellent bike. It's been 6 years and ran 73000 kilometers proudly. The riding experience is tremendous. Look like a sport bike and can go anywhere in the state. Need to do proper service once in 3 to 6 months. The bike suspension is smooth. Can get spare parts in the local garage also. Just ride and feel the nice riding experience.

About the Reviewer

The bike is a refined engine quite good while riding it is comfortable and very smooth. Performance is pretty good, & I have tested the exact speed on the highway within 17 sec, have touched 110/km last speed is 122, and one more thing the milege in the city gets 48/km. At highway 56km...My suggestion is please change the oil every 1000km.

Very bad bike bs6 2021 model, a duplicate chain, the worst rpm meter and fuel indicator, duplicate battery. Honda showrooms also not providing proper service, why honda releasing such poor quality bikes? honda has value but now degrading its quality, and service from the company. Don’t release such a pathetic bike. I felt very bad for buying bs6 honda unicorn bike.
I don't recommend it to anyone.
