Overall experience
N160 is blessing for young riders and also comfortable for the family. It has 164 cc engine, which provides instant acceleration and it gives good mileage around 50 which make it insane for a 160 cc engine segment. Overall experience is good and the cost of the parts of this bike is is also affordable.

I choose Honda unicorn because of refined engine. Comfortable wide seat, good suspension, good mileage. And it's reputation in market. KALA GHODA is not a just bike it's emotion. Spare parts easily available. The ride is very smooth and comfortable. For daily travelling in city is very comfortable. Suspension absorbs pithole and rough road very well.

The review of unicorn
First i want a bike to be comfortable and reliable for long distances and unicorn delivery it definitely. Because I go to work daily and i never felt back pain or anything it's very comfortable and i really love to ride it. The ride is very good and comfortable but I hate to say that the bike has very bad heating issue from engine. In summers your legs gonna feel the heat expect that everything is totally fine and overall good. I definitely recommend the bike but I know it's a little bit pricey than others at this range but it gonna deliver every ruppee you spend. If you someone like me who lives in a village i definitely recommend you to buy this bike because it handles every pothole or speed breaks smoothly and it goes very well in muddy road also. The suspension is good and the efficiency is good not very good compared to others but it's okay. The service is also good just go for it.

Unicorn review
Its a family friendly bike gives a very good mileage and also has a decent engine and the engine is also very reliable engine I have completed 2 lakh kilometres with this bike but the engine is still fine. The design of the bike is not that great should be launched in new stylish versions like the new editions of glamour it design should be made more sportier and stylish so that it can match today's market Demands. If you want good mileage for daily short rides inside the city or intercity rides you should buy this its a good choice for a normal corporate guy for going to office everyday and also a good choice for small families.
