Long rides

2.6

The bike is comfortable enough for City rides & Daily Commutes. I have also gone to the long rides up to 450 KM in a day. But still, this is one of the most pathetic bikes that I have ever driven. I am not really satisfied with this model of Honda Unicorn, cause other than the seating comfort this bike has no other positive attributes. It only has a bunch of drawbacks. If I make a list of drawbacks that I have experienced, it will literally never end. Just trying to shortlist a few of them which will give you a clear idea about the negative points of this bike.1. The headlamp of the vehicle is not powerful enough for night driving on highways.2. The default battery is not capable to handle the additional lights.3. The bike is not sturdy and it has a body vibration when you ride it above 70-80 KMPH speed on highways.4. Disc brake's life is as short as just 12-13 K Kilometers. Had to change it at 12,500 KMs and again at 25,000 KMs.5. Spare parts are very costly.6. In less than 2 years (19,000 Kilometers) the engine has started making horrible Tappet Noice which is not being resolved.7. In recent days I have taken the mileage worth 45 but soon after 20,000 Kilometers the bike's average has fallen below 35 and it's not even generating enough power in stiff roads like ghat sections.Note:I have always made the bike service at the Authorised Dealers.I don't recommend this bike if you love to go on long rides.

Long rides

4.2

Pros: the bike is good for long rides.You wont get any lower back pain.Engine can withstand long rides comfortably.I am owning unicorn 160 cbs for 4 years.The braking is excellent as it is combi brake.We can easily filter in traffic.Engine is amazing, It is eager to rev.Honda 's reliability is great.In highway i get 46kmpl and in city i get 44kmpl.My average riding speed is 80kmph - 100kmph in highways cons: headlight and horn are pathetic.Definitely need an after market modification.Engine k**l switch not present is a big con.One major disadvantage of this bike is the stability is zero if the road is windy.Even if a truck cross over you the bike will wobble.Sometimes while moving in 70 - 90 kmph in highways due to wind my bike moves from first lane to third lane.

Electric start

3.0

mileage and comfort is up to the mark as usual.But it has immense problem in electric start and gear shifting.Kick start also not works smoothly.New version of unicorn model is bad with respect to its previous model.Engine start problem is very common problem.In the sense comfort and riding controll it is well and good, But engine problem may gives you discomfort in every ride.

Very good bike when i purchased as new. After 2 years now its getting terrible to drive.. only 16000kms crossed. But rear suspension problem araised now. Changed REAR AXLE 2 times. Now center swingarm axle gone!!!!. mileage getting to go as low now. Only gave me below 40 in city. But over 55 on highways. Very good bike. No vibrations. But something missing for a 160cc engine!
