  • Good bike for daily commute

    2 years ago


    Syedthahir

    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.

  • Review after 16 months of usage

    1 year ago


    Sajith

    The 2021 model honda unicorn is a popular motorcycle in India, known for its fuel efficiency,
    Reviewing after using it for 16 months, the unicorn is a bike with the poor build quality, silencer coating was get damaged exactly after 1 year,
    I checked it with the dealer and they do not respond to this. And the service provided by Honda was very pathetic, I raised complaints regarding this and no response from the company. The gearbox was very noisy and very hard to shift.
    The build quality of the honda unicorn is poor, reported issues with rusting, paint quality, and some other defects. Additionally, some problems with the bike's suspension which can affect the overall riding experience.
    Poor quality of service, and unresponsive customer support.

    3 years ago


    Soumen Jana

    I m very very proud of this bike in 150 cc segment. This is a strong and powerful bike for any destination roadways. Awesome sound and a unique design likely glossy. Comfortable ride to a long and any more journey. However, this bike gave me a silent power in riding time, that i am very glad.Peaceful journey and happy life through our lifetime .Almost this bike is very nice.

  • Power packed hunk!!!

    2 years ago


    Govind Sudumbrekar

    I have been using this vehicle for 9 years now with good average and excellent performance.
    Buying experience was good as my bike was already in transit from manufacturers as extra unit in the lot. I was not expecting delivery within a month while waiting was 6 months .
    Ride is superb and smooth. Mono suspension gives extra comfort to pillion.
    Looks is good depends upon individual.
    Classic example of simplicity.
    Servicing is averaging compared to other competitors.
    Pros: excellent commuters bike tor daily usage
    Power and looks complete package in the budget. Have been using for 9 years now.
    Cons: specially gives battery draining and and have replace battery twice. Being a silent commuter needs some work over self start to be more powerful. But again this could be only to my bike. Individual feedback may differ.

  • Excellent but with exceptions.

    3 years ago


    Prem Kumar

    I bought this bike in Eluru.
    Riding experience is good. Still though I have some problem in the BS6 variant. I'm facing problem with clutch and gear. Gears won't down. They get stuck. I have to loose clutch and then down the gear. In the meanwhile gear box makes a big round of sound. Which is really inconvenient.
    In this price range of nearly one lakh and twenty thousand, the looks seem very dull. Same old speedometer and some things like that. Still though it has some improvements compared to previous models.
    When it comes to servicing I am not at all satisfied.
    Reduced performance.
    Same old looks.
    Riding experience is good( except for the clutch and gear box)
    Less pickup.
    Good mileage.
    Weak headlight.
    Unicorn bikes are known for good engine but I am not satisfied with the engine.

  • Not worth for money

    3 years ago


    Sumit

    The bike is very expensive and gives very less feature apart from driving comfort, headlights are very bad for night riding you have to rely on other vehicles passing by. Also, tire size is very less, not feature reach bike they can not even afford to equip bike with led headlight, no side stand notification light, the instrument cluster is analogue but it looks fine, there is no hazard light, performance-wise it good it gives 50kmpl, not good for people less tall than 5.5''.

  • Planning to buy shouldn't you watch the review first

    2 years ago


    Parth Rilkar

    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.

    Why bother buying this? Dad bought BS-4. But due to BS-4's experience, I may never ever want to buy any other bike from Honda as they don't bother to reply to your emails. I sent only 2 emails regarding this issue and boy oh boy they ignored their customer how cute. My experience with bikes may be less than my dad but we faced similar issues. Also, Dad had the experience of 40 years of riding a bike more than I have still the review is the same from both of our mouths. The older unicorn was reliable and quite comfortable as compared to BS-4.

  • A perfect wing rider

    Raj

    Buying this bike was a smooth affair. The riding experience so far has been smooth in the city and on the highway. I have the sports red and black color and it's a nice color. As long as you service your bike on time this bike is a joy.
    The downside of this bike is as long as you drive it below 100 it's fine after that there is a lot of vibration and you know that the bike engine is strained. The upside is I have had this bike for 16yrs and it's still a joy driving this bike compared to the recent bikes.

    Syedthahir

    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.

  • Review after 16 months of usage

    1 year ago


    Sajith

    The 2021 model honda unicorn is a popular motorcycle in India, known for its fuel efficiency,
    Reviewing after using it for 16 months, the unicorn is a bike with the poor build quality, silencer coating was get damaged exactly after 1 year,
    I checked it with the dealer and they do not respond to this. And the service provided by Honda was very pathetic, I raised complaints regarding this and no response from the company. The gearbox was very noisy and very hard to shift.
    The build quality of the honda unicorn is poor, reported issues with rusting, paint quality, and some other defects. Additionally, some problems with the bike's suspension which can affect the overall riding experience.
    Poor quality of service, and unresponsive customer support.

  • Power packed hunk!!!

    2 years ago


    Govind Sudumbrekar

    I have been using this vehicle for 9 years now with good average and excellent performance.
    Buying experience was good as my bike was already in transit from manufacturers as extra unit in the lot. I was not expecting delivery within a month while waiting was 6 months .
    Ride is superb and smooth. Mono suspension gives extra comfort to pillion.
    Looks is good depends upon individual.
    Classic example of simplicity.
    Servicing is averaging compared to other competitors.
    Pros: excellent commuters bike tor daily usage
    Power and looks complete package in the budget. Have been using for 9 years now.
    Cons: specially gives battery draining and and have replace battery twice. Being a silent commuter needs some work over self start to be more powerful. But again this could be only to my bike. Individual feedback may differ.

  • Excellent but with exceptions.

    3 years ago


    Prem Kumar

    I bought this bike in Eluru.
    Riding experience is good. Still though I have some problem in the BS6 variant. I'm facing problem with clutch and gear. Gears won't down. They get stuck. I have to loose clutch and then down the gear. In the meanwhile gear box makes a big round of sound. Which is really inconvenient.
    In this price range of nearly one lakh and twenty thousand, the looks seem very dull. Same old speedometer and some things like that. Still though it has some improvements compared to previous models.
    When it comes to servicing I am not at all satisfied.
    Reduced performance.
    Same old looks.
    Riding experience is good( except for the clutch and gear box)
    Less pickup.
    Good mileage.
    Weak headlight.
    Unicorn bikes are known for good engine but I am not satisfied with the engine.

    The bike is very expensive and gives very less feature apart from driving comfort, headlights are very bad for night riding you have to rely on other vehicles passing by. Also, tire size is very less, not feature reach bike they can not even afford to equip bike with led headlight, no side stand notification light, the instrument cluster is analogue but it looks fine, there is no hazard light, performance-wise it good it gives 50kmpl, not good for people less tall than 5.5''.

  • Planning to buy shouldn't you watch the review first

    2 years ago


    Parth Rilkar

    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.

    Why bother buying this? Dad bought BS-4. But due to BS-4's experience, I may never ever want to buy any other bike from Honda as they don't bother to reply to your emails. I sent only 2 emails regarding this issue and boy oh boy they ignored their customer how cute. My experience with bikes may be less than my dad but we faced similar issues. Also, Dad had the experience of 40 years of riding a bike more than I have still the review is the same from both of our mouths. The older unicorn was reliable and quite comfortable as compared to BS-4.

    Buying this bike was a smooth affair. The riding experience so far has been smooth in the city and on the highway. I have the sports red and black color and it's a nice color. As long as you service your bike on time this bike is a joy.
    The downside of this bike is as long as you drive it below 100 it's fine after that there is a lot of vibration and you know that the bike engine is strained. The upside is I have had this bike for 16yrs and it's still a joy driving this bike compared to the recent bikes.
