I am a proud unicorn user since last 3.5 years , when Ibought Unicorn that time there the bike was newly launched and not much reviewswere available. I believed in Honda & I know I wont be let me down. After 3.5yrs & 32,000Km , it has the 26/7rains of Mumbai, I can say that Unicorn is a truly marvelous piece of machinery.It has never lead me down what ever the terrain might be.
There was some initial teething problems with fuel gauge, weakhorn etc. but it was sorted out.
On service front except regular oil change, no major issuesthat I can think of …... Oh yes I replaced the battery after 1.5 yrs. (mine isa kick start version) & cleaned the fuel tank once as water seeped into thefuel tank., as it was parked in open in Mumbai rains.
Unicorn is a noiseless machine, engine & transmission isbutter smooth, fuel consumption is excellent its gives me mileage of 55kms/ltrwhich gr8 by any standards
Kudos to the engine designers …..this engine is borrowed bymany other Hero Honda bike eg Achiever & Hunk etc …they have tweaked it tothere own bike needs…Since last 4-5 yrs there has been no major modificationsto the engine design this speaks volumes of the reliability & quality of design…really the engine design has withstood the test of time.
Seating position is upright & itsreally comfortable for long rides....u will never get tired of riding on aunicorn.....and mono suspension works great.....till now no pobs I have not madeany changes to the factory settings yet….handling and controlling are alsogood... it is a beat heavy as compared to other 150cc bikes... The handling ofthe bike is second to none. It always points to the direction you want it to beand gives good grip while riding on bad roads.
Overall all after 3.5 yrs I can say this is a great bike togo …Truly it’s a a wind rider
