    2016 model unicorn150cc.It's a daily commuter and with decent mileage.
    Change oil firstly 5000 and over 50000 km 2000km interval change oil. Over 50k carburetor-related problems are a change of it, this has seen in my opinion other ways happy to ride daily commuting and good mileage and service providing Honda.

  • Unicorn since 2009

    4 years ago


    Dr Emmanuel Daniel

    I am having Unicorn since 2009 and I dint feel like changing my bike till date. I would rate unicorn to be the most comfortable bike in this price bracket. Even after using it for 12 years and 1 lakh plus kms it still clocks 120kmph. The 2009 version of unicorn did not have a fantastic braking, however, the bs6 version has come with ABS. I used to travel all the way from Bangalore to Coimbatore in unicorn and I had never experienced discomfort. Unicorn is a good bike for single riders on hills, but not sure having a pillion rider you ll get the same performance on hills. Moreover, the speedometer is still not digitalized, where as most of the bikes in the same segment has an upgraded one. Overall its a fantastic bike city bike which can be used more than 10 years.

  • Best bike in this price range

    3 years ago


    Subhajit

    This bike is very good for daily commute. This bike has extreme smoothness. The comfort is 100% assured, even after riding 1-1.5 hours you will not feel any pain. If you are not a rush driver, you may get mileage of upto 55 km/l. I got an average of 52-53 km/l. You may have a question on it's looks in comparison with others in this price range, but Unicorn lovers have happily accepted it's normal formal looks. Remember the brand is Honda and 160 cc adds better quality which we will understand after 8-10 years of riding, when other bikes will got damaged, Unicorn will be 95% new. ABS has been added in bs6 and it's very important for highway riding, I am very satisfied with it's braking also.
    Sometimes I feel that analog meters are not giving output up to the mark, but I do not have too much problem with it. Suspension is too good to understand jerking. But for some light weight person like me, some jerking may be felt.
    Overall - I am very much satisfied and did not get any other option in this price range.

    Follow safety measures and ride in the economy level (40-50) to get best output. Wash and clean your bike every month if you want to keep it as new after 10 years.

    Harshvardhan Doshi

    Lookwise the bike is good but I have had a very bad experience with the bike ride. From the first 10 days started facing issues with the bike. I was at the signal and turned off the ignition, when it was time to start the bike, it would not button start. Tried multiple times but had no luck, and even the kick did not work in the first go. After almost 5-10 mins of trying, the kick start worked. Submitted to the service center, and they looked into it and said some battery circuit was loose and the issue should be resolved. But this happens after every 10-15 days and all the time the service center says now the problem has been rectified and should not re-occur.
    The latest problem was seen today on 5th of Dec '22 and now my bike is again at a service center. Overall the experience has been very frustrating.
    A similar problem has been reported by other owners whom I met at the service center.
    I would not suggest buying a honda unicorn at all.

Honda company giving a three free service.then remaining paide services. one day my bike don't started then I was informed to service center. Then service man come to my home then solved the starting problem .this problem is due to the Rate being broken by the electrical wire this bike is suitable for daily usage for long drives There is no back pain. I was run by maximum speed of 107kmph about 70 kmph there was no vibration in engine after 80 kmph gradually increased the vibration. Then it can be ride with three person. This bike have a 13 litre petrol capacity it is amazing. This bike main drawback is head lamp is low power so ride in night time it's difficult. Then its mileage is a company giving 60km per litre but actually, my bike giving in high way 50 to 53 kmph. Then it's Another problem is when going at top speed and then applying sudden brakes can't change to first gear it also drawback in my bike this bike starts in the morning hours it can automatically accelerate for 1.5 minutes which is for normal conditions. then bike attractive design. its engine sound is smooth. This bike ground clearance also high so you can ride any speed brake .sheet length also high. Then my bike another fault is battery down due to two month no use .this battery can't be recharged .my 10000 km speedometer Cable damaged. Then accelerator cable also damaged. after the free service the labour cost in service center more compare to out side.finaly was suggest for buying a daily office usage.

  • Unicorn since 2009

    4 years ago


    Dr Emmanuel Daniel

    I am having Unicorn since 2009 and I dint feel like changing my bike till date. I would rate unicorn to be the most comfortable bike in this price bracket. Even after using it for 12 years and 1 lakh plus kms it still clocks 120kmph. The 2009 version of unicorn did not have a fantastic braking, however, the bs6 version has come with ABS. I used to travel all the way from Bangalore to Coimbatore in unicorn and I had never experienced discomfort. Unicorn is a good bike for single riders on hills, but not sure having a pillion rider you ll get the same performance on hills. Moreover, the speedometer is still not digitalized, where as most of the bikes in the same segment has an upgraded one. Overall its a fantastic bike city bike which can be used more than 10 years.

  • Best bike in this price range

    3 years ago


    Subhajit

    This bike is very good for daily commute. This bike has extreme smoothness. The comfort is 100% assured, even after riding 1-1.5 hours you will not feel any pain. If you are not a rush driver, you may get mileage of upto 55 km/l. I got an average of 52-53 km/l. You may have a question on it's looks in comparison with others in this price range, but Unicorn lovers have happily accepted it's normal formal looks. Remember the brand is Honda and 160 cc adds better quality which we will understand after 8-10 years of riding, when other bikes will got damaged, Unicorn will be 95% new. ABS has been added in bs6 and it's very important for highway riding, I am very satisfied with it's braking also.
    Sometimes I feel that analog meters are not giving output up to the mark, but I do not have too much problem with it. Suspension is too good to understand jerking. But for some light weight person like me, some jerking may be felt.
    Overall - I am very much satisfied and did not get any other option in this price range.

    Lookwise the bike is good but I have had a very bad experience with the bike ride. From the first 10 days started facing issues with the bike. I was at the signal and turned off the ignition, when it was time to start the bike, it would not button start. Tried multiple times but had no luck, and even the kick did not work in the first go. After almost 5-10 mins of trying, the kick start worked. Submitted to the service center, and they looked into it and said some battery circuit was loose and the issue should be resolved. But this happens after every 10-15 days and all the time the service center says now the problem has been rectified and should not re-occur.
    The latest problem was seen today on 5th of Dec '22 and now my bike is again at a service center. Overall the experience has been very frustrating.
    A similar problem has been reported by other owners whom I met at the service center.
    I would not suggest buying a honda unicorn at all.

    3. Its long comfortable seat.
    4.Back support for pillion rider is rare in this segment.
    5. Handle bar upright position is very comfortable for long ride.
    6. Rider foot rest position is forward which also a great content.
    7. its mileage about 52-56 km/l is really great thing.

Honda company giving a three free service.then remaining paide services. one day my bike don't started then I was informed to service center. Then service man come to my home then solved the starting problem .this problem is due to the Rate being broken by the electrical wire this bike is suitable for daily usage for long drives There is no back pain. I was run by maximum speed of 107kmph about 70 kmph there was no vibration in engine after 80 kmph gradually increased the vibration. Then it can be ride with three person. This bike have a 13 litre petrol capacity it is amazing. This bike main drawback is head lamp is low power so ride in night time it's difficult. Then its mileage is a company giving 60km per litre but actually, my bike giving in high way 50 to 53 kmph. Then it's Another problem is when going at top speed and then applying sudden brakes can't change to first gear it also drawback in my bike this bike starts in the morning hours it can automatically accelerate for 1.5 minutes which is for normal conditions. then bike attractive design. its engine sound is smooth. This bike ground clearance also high so you can ride any speed brake .sheet length also high. Then my bike another fault is battery down due to two month no use .this battery can't be recharged .my 10000 km speedometer Cable damaged. Then accelerator cable also damaged. after the free service the labour cost in service center more compare to out side.finaly was suggest for buying a daily office usage.

  • Unicorn since 2009

    4 years ago


    Dr Emmanuel Daniel

    I am having Unicorn since 2009 and I dint feel like changing my bike till date. I would rate unicorn to be the most comfortable bike in this price bracket. Even after using it for 12 years and 1 lakh plus kms it still clocks 120kmph. The 2009 version of unicorn did not have a fantastic braking, however, the bs6 version has come with ABS. I used to travel all the way from Bangalore to Coimbatore in unicorn and I had never experienced discomfort. Unicorn is a good bike for single riders on hills, but not sure having a pillion rider you ll get the same performance on hills. Moreover, the speedometer is still not digitalized, where as most of the bikes in the same segment has an upgraded one. Overall its a fantastic bike city bike which can be used more than 10 years.
