Got mileage of	52 kmpl

I've owned this bike since 2018 the bike has a very very smooth engine but, since last month mechanic has tuned the carburetor again for mileage the bike currently has 50 to 53 kmpl mileage but sometimes feels like a power lagging (no effect of full acceleration) type bike have all genuine parts in last 14 years but expect block kit and meter cowl Quality of bike parts have very powerful 5 out of 4.8 and the tank+side tank cowls if you looks from your roof in the ground to your bike he remembers you Sometimes Bajaj NS200 from tank side honda Need to re-introduce this bike again in India because there is no 150cc bike available of honda Company currently in India in 2018 I had test driven the hornet 160r 's (abs version) but hornet has not gives trusted feel those was in Dazzler so I don't purchase the hornet in 2018 nowadays I'm also using dazzler daily rides the 50 to 75 km

Riding for 14 years without any modifications runs smoothly like you do not feel the bike engine is running from about 2,3 feet... Still, now I can ride 200 to 250 km non-stop.. I don't understand why Honda discontinued this Gem..... Love to renounce this bike with some updates.
Still, now it's eye-catching...

I bought dazzler during the year 2011 & still using it. Even after 11 years, this bike is running perfectly, I am waiting for some major problem so that I will replace her, but looks like she will run another 11yr easily. Had some small problems like front shock absorber oil leakage but nothing engine or gear-related problems. Honda bikes are really reliable.

This bike is one of the best bike. It has high power engine and comfortless.
And the bike is very low in cost and best for ride.

Dazzle in dazzler
4 years ago
Rishabh Shekhar
Honda cb unicorn dazzler. People say one second isn't enough for anything but the moment u sit on a dazzler alot can happen in one second. Honda dazzler reaches a top speed of 130km/hr the acceleration power is so strong that even strong competitors of 150cc and above have to think again before drag race. The reliability and build quality and overall looks of the bike is awesome i own the bike from past 10 years and enjoy the ride everyday.

Lovely style and butter smooth performance
4 years ago
Nigel Antony
This is my first bike. I bought in 2011. The engine is very smooth still nowadays ( 2020). Riding comfortable city and highway. Low weight so handling is easy. Sufficient performance and good mileage 55kml. Spare parts costly compare to unicorn. Dual disc but braking is not enough. Finally this bike is stylish and comfortable.

Best in the segment - review after 10 years usage and still counting
4 years ago
Naresh Yende
I purchased my honda unicorn exactly 10 years ago and i am still using it. :) they say anything which travels long in time with you, becomes
you. Honda unicorn has become family for me. Later in this review, i will give you my last one year's service details just to give you a clear
picture of how good this vehicle really is. You can decide for yourself whether or not it's good or not. In my case, for the past 10 years, not a
screw has dislodged itself from it. My review would sound like a love letter for some and i say love letter it is. 10 years of unconditional love
Now for some specs. During this past 10 years my unicorn has seen 5 natural calamities (be it driving in a waist level water clog, tree
uprooting cyclone, etc) and yet i was not given a heavy bill for repairs. In fact, my service bills have never gone above 4-5k for service and
repairs. Mileage has been consistent for the first 6-7 years at 50 kmpl and after that, it has reduced to 40-45 kmpl which is perfectly
understandable. As mentioned above, whether it's a lovely day or not, i seldom hesitated to use my bike. After 85000ish kilometres the bike
still sounds near to greatness (this burden should entirely fall on the owner for engine care and not the machine because ... It's a machine!). I
use motul semi synthetic 10w40 engine oil every 2500 kms. My rating for honda unicorn:Performance: 10/10 Durability: 10/10 Style: 7/10
Safety: 7/10 (because mine didn't even have cbs)Overall: 9/10 My last few transactions for honda unicorn:04/05/18: engine oil - 330 +

Pros:• the undisputed honda air cooled engine!• best
150cc bike in terms of mileage and longevity.• low maintenance cost.• minimalist design with literally no nonsense.• riding experience is very
smooth and safe for the human spine when compared to all other bikes in the segment.
Cons:• screeching rear brake shoe sound• nothing
else.Honda unicorn is probably the best and famous honda product in india and it deserves that sweet spot. Anyone buying this beauty should
go blindfolded in their decision. All the best.

Honda CB Unicorn Dazzler review
3 years ago
Nigel Antony
This bike is one of the best bike. It has high power engine and comfortless.
And the bike is very low in cost and best for ride.
I recommended to all.
Its tyre design is well manufactured.
In a city it gives mileage of 48 km/l.

Dazzle in dazzler
4 years ago
Rishabh Shekhar
Honda cb unicorn dazzler. People say one second isn't enough for anything but the moment u sit on a dazzler alot can happen in one second. Honda dazzler reaches a top speed of 130km/hr the acceleration power is so strong that even strong competitors of 150cc and above have to think again before drag race. The reliability and build quality and overall looks of the bike is awesome i own the bike from past 10 years and enjoy the ride everyday.

Lovely style and butter smooth performance
4 years ago
Nigel Antony
This is my first bike. I bought in 2011. The engine is very smooth still nowadays ( 2020). Riding comfortable city and highway. Low weight so handling is easy. Sufficient performance and good mileage 55kml. Spare parts costly compare to unicorn. Dual disc but braking is not enough. Finally this bike is stylish and comfortable.

Best in the segment - review after 10 years usage and still counting
4 years ago
Naresh Yende
I purchased my honda unicorn exactly 10 years ago and i am still using it. :) they say anything which travels long in time with you, becomes
you. Honda unicorn has become family for me. Later in this review, i will give you my last one year's service details just to give you a clear
picture of how good this vehicle really is. You can decide for yourself whether or not it's good or not. In my case, for the past 10 years, not a
screw has dislodged itself from it. My review would sound like a love letter for some and i say love letter it is. 10 years of unconditional love
Now for some specs. During this past 10 years my unicorn has seen 5 natural calamities (be it driving in a waist level water clog, tree
uprooting cyclone, etc) and yet i was not given a heavy bill for repairs. In fact, my service bills have never gone above 4-5k for service and
repairs. Mileage has been consistent for the first 6-7 years at 50 kmpl and after that, it has reduced to 40-45 kmpl which is perfectly
understandable. As mentioned above, whether it's a lovely day or not, i seldom hesitated to use my bike. After 85000ish kilometres the bike
still sounds near to greatness (this burden should entirely fall on the owner for engine care and not the machine because ... It's a machine!). I
use motul semi synthetic 10w40 engine oil every 2500 kms. My rating for honda unicorn:Performance: 10/10 Durability: 10/10 Style: 7/10
Safety: 7/10 (because mine didn't even have cbs)Overall: 9/10 My last few transactions for honda unicorn:04/05/18: engine oil - 330 +

Pros:• the undisputed honda air cooled engine!• best
150cc bike in terms of mileage and longevity.• low maintenance cost.• minimalist design with literally no nonsense.• riding experience is very
smooth and safe for the human spine when compared to all other bikes in the segment.
Cons:• screeching rear brake shoe sound• nothing
else.Honda unicorn is probably the best and famous honda product in india and it deserves that sweet spot. Anyone buying this beauty should
go blindfolded in their decision. All the best.
