Best Bike I have ever seen the performance......

The Honda Unicorn was the first motorcycle offering from the Japanese bikemaker in the Indian market. It was the first mass produced motorcycle to be offered with a monoshock suspension in India. Ever since its launch, the Unicorn has been a hugely popular model in the 150cc segment and has clocked decent sales numbers. Two other 150cc offerings in the form of the Honda CB Dazzler and CB Trigger were launched after it but both the bikes couldn’t achieve the same success. But with the Unicorn being on sale for almost a decade without any serious update, Honda decided to replace it and for this purpose introduced the Unicorn 160.
The biggest talking point for the Honda Unicorn 160 is its new powerplant that churns out 14.5PS of power and 14.6Nm of torque. The new motor has enabled the Unicorn 160 with brisk acceleration and it can cruise at speeds above 90kmph with relative ease. The engine is free revving and decently refined too but vibrations do seep in via footpegs and handlebar at the apex of the motor’s performance.
The CB Unicorn 160 then does make an interesting case for itself. It has that typically refined Honda engine and a decent ride quality too. And of course there is the efficiency. But the Unicorn 160 isn’t the most pretty motorcycle and isn’t the most fun to ride as well. But if you’re in the market for a 150cc commuter with a dash of performance, well look no further.
