About the Reviewer

Unicorn cb 150 is a gentleman's bike, Achieved and compiled all its specification in a single bike as it is specified. Anybody who wants to have a smooth ride everyday, then I suggest unicorn which is always best. Design of unicorn gives superb stability at any situation. Either you ride it on daily rides or for long journey it always gives a pain free ride without any hesitation. 2 more things will attract you is the mileage of the bike which gives up to 55 km/l which is more than the mileage specified by the company. While second is fuel capacity and the tank which is 18 litre. It is more than its specified limit.
The smooth sound produced by the bike while riding is a journey never forgotten. Harassing sound is never produced if you ride at a top speed also. Kerb weight is reduced than earlier unicorn, but it's heaviness gives stability on highways. In future, company needs to think about the digitalization of cluster and interface without issuing the other best parameters. Cb unicorn 150 always fulfilled its all parameters, lovable and best at 150-160 cc class.

About the Reviewer

Unicorn was an better option for family members seat length mileage and maintenance cost was less, we can go for long drives occasionally and it was much comfortable comparing other vehicles It looks good and the performance was excellent I use to give for servicing every 6 months to change oil and check breaks and performance.

About the Reviewer

Style: looks official and decent ok, nowadays 100cc's are coming up with 200 cc looks. But unicorn? still same old. Honda is still lethargic i feel becuase they don do anything to be on top in this competetive market,except the engine.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox: engine is the best so smooth and always hungry for speed and will not back up anytime.

Fuel economy is 60+ on highways 50+ in city.

Gear box: very bad. Beacause gear shifting is very difficult in city. When i shift the gear i feel two cluck noises when i change one gear. It is so deep i feel for eg to shift from 2nd to 3rd i feel i have to raise my toe for more than one inch! imagine the hell i go through every single day when i have to come to 1st gear from 5th?

ride quality & handling: worst, and beats all good in this bike because of the suspension.Previously i used other bikes with short handle for more than 12 years i did not have any back pain, but now i am on honda unicorn(i am using company handle only) i am suffering from severe back pain. It just throws me up for even a small ditch. I feel there’s no suspension at all for this bike(like tractor). The pain is so much that i had to visit the doctor and under medication. I also tried a long ride on this bike on nh-4 from hubli to belgaum(220kms both sides) the road is no.1 But believe me i still had horrible back pain, i really had to stop and take frequent brakes. I felt a kind of a burning on my seat(bums) and i had to had to had to get down and relax in order to move any further. After all this i limited using this bike only in city limits. I visited the nagshanthi service centre hubli as many times as possible but the problem is not getting solved. Except the service manager all other staff sounds non-technical in their talks they nod their head and say it’s very good even before listening to your problem-so foolish they argue that the suspension is 100% fine. Even the general services of honda service centres are bad, 10 days after the general service my bike there was a break down and i was shocked to open the spark plug and see carbon, they are good at one thing that is charge you rs.60 For polish even if you don’t ask for it

final words: if i am spoiling my health and unable to basically sit comfortably on the bike(because it just throws me for even a small hump or ditch) what to do with smooth engine or good mileage or whatever? i am suffering with extreme back pain.
