      VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE
      Service and maintenance charge is normal, mileage is 50 - 55 kmpl on highway, 45-50 kmpl in cities and streets. Overall, it is a quite good bike with good performance and minimal costs. Everyday rides upto hundred kms can be done easily, I ride daily around 80 kms and it is very easy for me and it's a sports bike even with only 125 CC engine.

      I love this bike
      I will buy this bike, this bike is my dream middle-class For people this bike style and colour comfort seat no.1 The Honda Unicorn 160 is not a bike that will win you over with its looks or features, but it's a bike that will win you over with its performance. It's the quintessential sensible commuter motorcycle. If your priorities are a battery smooth engine, exceptional comfort, low running costs, and unmatched reliability, the Unicorn 160 is one of the best choices you can make. It's a bike for the mature rider who values substance over style. However, if you're looking for a motorcycle that stands out from the crowd and is packed with the latest technology, you might want to consider its rivals.
