DECENT RIDE BIKE

DECENT RIDE BIKE

The Honda Unicorn 160 had impressed us with its performance in the city. I got an opportunity to stretch the legs of the Unicorn 160. The bike impressed us right away with its punchy motor. Acceleration of the Unicorn 160 is brisk while it has a very strong mid-range. This meant I could cruise on the highway at speeds around 90kmph without any effort which for an air-cooled, 150cc motor is mighty impressive. Another highlight of the Honda Unicorn 160 is the refinement of the motor as even at high revs there are minor vibrations seeping through which showcases its engineering prowess.the 5-speed gearbox isn’t impressive as shifting from first to second gear isn’t instantaneous and there is a certain lag for the gears to get engaged.
second to fifth gear the gearbox offers crisp and precise shifts but on few occasions I encountered false neutrals. Hopefully the service centre guys would be able to rectify this problem. The seating position of the bike is upright and comfortable which meant the Honda Unicorn 160’s headlamp fared poorly in illuminating the road.
The stiff rear suspension setup meant the Honda Unicorn 160 offered a decent ride quality that wasn’t plush but acceptable. As for pillion comfort, the Honda Unicorn 160 impressed my friend mightily with its generous space and the useful grab handle.
