Q. Between Unicorn 160 and Avenger 160, which one is good?
  • Selecting between the Honda Unicorn and Bajaj Avenger Street 160 would depend on certain factors such as preference of the segment, budget, features required and usage of the bike. If you are looking for a daily commuter with a much refined engine and old-school styling then you may opt for the Unicorn. Honda Unicorn has always been the go-to bike if you were planning to buy a 160cc commuter. On the other hand, if you are looking for a comfortable mile muncher and an affordable cruiser, then the Avenger Street 160 would be a better pick. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.

Q. I am planning to buy a bike in this month, I daily commute 75 km's in rough road, I want good mileage and better suspension to handle rough road, In my mind I have three options Honda Unicorn 160, Apache RTR 160 4V, Yamaha FZ Fi V3 price is not a constraint to me. Please suggest which one is better?
  • As per your requirement, we would suggest you opt for the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V. With the BS6-compliant iteration, TVS has made sure it is still as sprightly as ever despite the slight drop in power and torque figures. Still, Apache RTR 160 4V is a brilliant offering from TVS stable and offers great ride quality, good handling dynamics, a performance-packed engine and a feature-rich instrument console. The suspension setup soaks up undulations with ease while providing a calm and composed ride. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

    Amazing experience 

    I am using unicorn since last 2 years and it cost me around 1 and 50 lakh pnroad price i guess, Driving unicorn bike is quite amazing experience because it is one of the best bike for middle class people provides comfortable seating good for body.The best thing about unicorn is it has good average and engine capacity to reach your destination overall performance is good and the worst thing is it is overweight bike.The overall performance of unicorn is quite amazing because of its speed engine capacity and smooth riding experience with suspension mileage is also good and economy type pickup of the unicorn is very quick, Build material is of best quality bike built very best level it's body metal etc.Bioe doesn't vibrate that much it takes you smoothly and i didn't find extraa features that much.Sale service i must say it was little bit disappointing because i had waiting period of almost 6 months to get the delivery of bike so it was not ok but after that everything went smoothly.Bike servicing i have done twice it was ok.Overall experience is good with unicorn.

    Running abo 

    Hi, I am hasnain i own a vespa lx it is running about 47000 kms but it is running smoothly no problems on it and the fuel economy is good when driving below 50km compared to other scooters its design gives nostalgia vibe and service is between low and medium in price range but the service was good if you are looking for the bike for long term use its absolutely made for it.
