Bajaj Pulsar 150 BS6 vs Honda Unicorn BS6: Competition Check

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 and Honda Unicorn are the biggest rivals in the executive commuter motorcycle segment in India. The motorcycles, which recently received BS6 updates are also one of the highest-selling models for Bajaj and Honda respectively. Here, we check out how the Pulsar 150 and Unicorn fare against each other in this on-paper comparison.

Styling

The Honda Unicorn and Bajaj Pulsar 150 sport subtly stylish bodywork in tune with the segment. While the Unicorn has a sharp, triangular take to its design, the Pulsar has its distinctive tank shrouds and tail section with a split-tail lamp. It is also available in a sportier-looking variant that offers a split-seat, underbelly cowl, and sporty graphics.

Furthermore, the three ‘Neon’ colours that Bajaj offers with the base variant are anything but subtle as compared to the Honda Unicorn’s single-tone black, red and grey colours.

On the other hand, the Honda Unicorn boasts of a bigger 162cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine. While this engine puts out lesser power than the Pulsar 150 at 12.5bhp, it offers a higher torque output of 14Nm. The Unicorn’s engine also comes mated to a five-speed transmission.
