Honda Unicorn 150cc Review

Honda set foot on the Indian bike market with the legendary Honda Unicorn. With 150cc engine and mono-suspension, it was the first of its kind in India. In one word, it can be summed up as ‘The Smart 150cc Bike.

I went to the Honda showroom to test drive the Unicorn, but I was disappointed as they told me that there are no bikes for test drive and if booked, it will take another 6 months to arrive! Wow! This is a great pointer to the fact that the bike is selling like crazy in India.

I called up one of my friend who I remembered to have owned a Unicorn and asked him whether he still uses it and if possible come to my place so that I can take some pictures and test the bike for a review on Bike Advice. He gladly accepted and the bike arrived around 5 in the evening.The bike is fantastic both in performance as well as aesthetic value. It is a perfect fusion of sporty and macho design. With features like swift acceleration, superior mileage, international styling, riding comfort and convenience, the bike has made some benchmarks in Indian automotive industry. Ex-showroom price of bike in Delhi is approximate Rs 51000.

Looks and Styling
Its aerodynamic body lining, sleek design, appealing tail lamp and excellent body graphics add style statement to it. It has macho design blended with style.
Control and Comfort
The bike has telescopic front suspension while the rear part is equipped with advanced technology mono suspension. As for the brakes, it has disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear. Mono suspension system prevents discomfort while driving on unhelpful roads.
