On buying side, it's amazing absolutely no waiting period.You cruise all day 80kmph without worries.Light weight machine, extremely smooth engine with the 45 kmpl mileage and power figures are better than its competitors.Once in every 6000 km's. No need to visit service station regularly.Humble workhorse you can depend upon any given point of time.Take care of the machine and it'll do the rest.

Style it is not sportish. Targeted at the general buyer.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox if you drive single, you do not find issue in performance. If you travel in doubles, then you need to lower the gear for the vehicle to pull. My earlier bajaj xcd 125 cc used to pull without crying. Fuel economy is bad at around 34 kms to a litre in chennai city traffic.

Ride quality & handling suspensions are bad. Severe jolting and you can feel the jolt going through your spine. Got back and neck pains. Braking is good.

Final words sold off the vehicle after riding for 1800 kms.

Areas of improvement mileage, suspension.
Pros
looks decent
cons
mileage, suspension

Very worst bike, mileage is very poor only 32km/lt. No safety, if u going to 60km speed, if you release suddenly the accelerator, speed is not slow down suddenly, it will take to slow 15 to 20 seconds. It not like 160cc bike, it like 100cc bike. Price is very high(rs. 95000) but not worth for these price.

Literally the best choice i ever made was to buy unicorn 160 ,the riding experience is just "amazing " it has power with smoothness which is delivered by honda as expected.
Excellent performance even at high speed . I bought the grey colour bike and the glossy finish and muscular looks are just exotic. The only disadvantage of buying this bike is it's cost but it's totally worth the quality and riding experience.

Style good.

Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox pickup is good, 🙂 top speed is 106 ( in speedo meter)☹ not start with kick in gear(like splandor) 😷 front indicators are create problem sometimes while u are in rush☹ choke location is near engine😷 cold start problem😷 milage is good about 50 kmpl in city, 😎 gear shift sound in 1,2,3 gears☹

ride quality & handling good.

Final words overall bike is not so good as expectation with honda. I have an old unicorn 2005 model which is much better than this in performance.

Self of this 160 is gone within 3 months while i assume a long life of this bike, its handel i was go to showroom for 3 times because it get hard with in some days.

Areas of improvement i think ( may be possible) honda never listen about his customers as experienced me.
Pros
milage, power, pickup
cons
top speed, electric switch

I got this bike way back in 2016, where the pickup used to be awesome,over the years with every service pickup came down. The mileage i have been getting is close to 40.Please don't have an impression that it would give you more than 50kmpl. The tyres are too thin, compared to the latest 160 available in market. The service has been poor.No matter what issue u address,it hasn't been resolved. Overall i would say it is a decent bike.Avoid long distance rides with this.

Honda unicorn 160 CBS is not a complete bike in this price range. It gives me only less than 40 kmpl mileage even after riding in 40-50km/hr in good road. I used it for 15 months. Gear shifting issue is also a big problem.After achieving the speed greater than 90 km/hr, byke started to vibrated and the engine sounds very badly. Over all, I am not recommending this bike to a new buyer.
