Unicorn since 2009

1 year ago by Dr Emmanuel Daniel803 views

I am having Unicorn since 2009 and I dint feel like changing my bike till date. I would rate unicorn to be the most comfortable bike in this price bracket. Even after using it for 12 years and 1 lakh plus kms it still clocks 120kmph. The 2009 version of unicorn did not have a fantastic braking, however, the bs6 version has come with ABS. I used to travel all the way from Bangalore to Coimbatore in unicorn and I had never experienced discomfort. Unicorn is a good bike for single riders on hills, but not sure having a pillion rider you ll get the same performance on hills. Moreover, the speedometer is still not digitalized, where as most of the bikes in the same segment has an upgraded one. Overall its a fantastic bike city bike which can be used more than 10 years.

Tips for Honda Unicorn

Continuously monitor the engine and fork oils. Failing to check may lead to serious problems.

I purchased this bike 2021 on Nov 30. Start the bike anytime race riding speed abnormal, gear shifting was very worst, chassis are painted fault automatically falling, handle pipe center is very loos automatically shake, ride in 50km speed above bike was vibrated mode. I think I wrongly chose this bike, very worst.

My dad bought this bike after selling 13 yrs old unicorn, so the bike was pretty fine from May 2019 to May 2020 but after a 1-year bike gave us lots of problems we couldn't even get it fixed right. Our previous unicorn was pretty fine if you wish to compare it. Dad invested more than he should just to repair it.
Pros:- there aren't any
Cons:- you may find many but wait till 1st service we get mileage of 45 in the city and 47 on the highway after 1st service and after 1-year bike just showed us his true colors read this.....
1. When you switch the gear you'll hear sound and the sound may come from any gear unexpectedly.
2. You shouldn't race with an older unicorn you'll lose miserably. The pickup isn't exciting.
3. Higher vibration and loud/harsh noise after 4.5k rpm.
4. We get mileage around 35km/l that's why we bought 150cc commuter bike just to get 35km/l. We didn't have any bike which was willing to give us 35. Every bike we test ride gave only 20.
5. My age is 20 now & I've riding unicorn since 2014. The older unicorn was far more reliable than this new version. At least the older one gave us 50km/l & 55+ on the highway.
6. Suspension is like you'll feel every bump every speed breaker every mm of the road. The bike is jumpy on any bridge you wished to go around 40km/h.
7. Performance ? is there any. You can cruise at 60-80km/h. Also, you'll feel that you don't have control over your own bike, my dad and I had a discussion over this so you can take it as a valid point.
8. Bike feels pain when you have a pillion behind. It just refused to pick up the speed, also the number of potholes you'll feel just made you jump out of the bike.
Also, we tried many times to repair the bike
The mileage we get remained the same around 30 to 35km/l even after several changes.
You shouldn't buy this bike instead buy another brand. Just don't buy honda.

I bought this bike in 2013 and completed a 1 lakh km smooth engine with good mileage with minimum maintenance costs. For every 3 thousand kilometers engine oil change is a must. Low spare cost comparison with other 150 cc bikes. Better honda revise his instrument cluster to digital. Better for family and city rides.

Buying experience and company service were very good.
It is the best bike for daily riding.
It looks average it will not create road attention but it has enough power for day-to-day driving in the city and gives a very good mileage of about 45-50 km depending upon how you ride.
Its service and maintenance cost is very minimal and its parts are also cheap in the market.

I saw engine side complaints frequently . Some sound released ... I have not satisfied with the bike. Couldn't find the problem by the mechanics and wasted money for unnecessary things. After completion of 45000 kms ride, it came to bore from engine side. How much burden for a rider for this....Make sure a good engine ...

5Best bike within 1.5 lakh for comfortable ride. 3 months ago by Soumik Dey
Comfortable ride, a lot of difference found in ergonomics between bs 4 and bs 6 version, ground clearance is better than any other bike in this segment. Mileage is around 40 km/l in city ride though 2nd service is due. Hope it will increase to 50-52 km/l. Power moderate...
Comfortable ride, a lot of difference found in ergonomics between bs 4 and bs 6 version, ground clearance is better than any other bike in this segment. Mileage is around 40 km/l in city ride though 2nd service is due. Hope it will increase to 50-52 km/l. Power moderate, 0-60kmph in 5 seconds. No vibration found till 85 kmph, though i did not go beyond this speed.
