Stylish Bike for Ever

Stylish Bike for Ever

I must admit that I wasn’t chuffed at the prospect of getting the Honda Unicorn 160 as my new long term. I had many apprehensions about the motorcycle as the bike felt a bit mainstream and was targeted at a mature audience with its sober styling. And given the fact that I had recently rode the Suzuki Gixxer which in my books is the best 150cc motorcycle in the market didn’t help the Honda offering either. But as they say don’t judge a book by its cover, the Honda Unicorn 160 left a lasting impression on me with passage of time. The bike has completed its six month tenure and has clocked over 6,000km before exiting the ZigWheels.

The most impressive feature about the bike has to be its engine. The 162cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder motor has ample amount of power on tap for a 150cc commuter. The bike offers brisk acceleration and has a strong mid range which made my daily commute a joyous affair. The Unicorn 160 can cruise at speeds around 85kmph with a pillion without any effort.
