Honda set foot on the Indian bike market with the legendary HONDA UNICORN. With 150cc engine and mono-suspension, it was the first of its kind in India. In one word, it can be summed up as ‘The Smart 150cc Bike.’
When i test ride it, i felt that Unicorn is silent and powerful like a cheetah! The gear shifting was so smooth and I flew off for the test drive (because I am a Wing Rider now!
There is one thing that I absolutely appreciate… Handling! Given the fact that you need to make sharp turns constantly in Indian roads, Unicorn is very well designed for it.
The bike does not have a digital console which puts it a little behind the competition, but the dials really serve the purpose.
Mileage is very gud in its class too. Its around 50 km/l on road.
