2004 Honda Unicorn review from India
"This bike is awesome - just go for it"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
I had to change my disc plates at around 7000 Ks.
I had to change my front wheel rims, spokes, and drum at around 9000 Ks.
The only weak point of this bike, and the problem faced by me, is that only it seems to get around 40km/litre in city and 45 on highways.
General comments?
This bike is awesome, it can beat any bike in its class.
Till now, the suspension has not given me any problem.
I have travelled all the way to Goa on this bike, from Mumbai, nonstop at a speed of 100kms per hour. There was no problem with the engine - the bike gave me unbelievable performance on my way. The problem I had to deal with was mileage - I just got 38kms per litre, but I was constantly riding at 8 and half thousand rpm. The engine quality of this bike is the best. It's definitely better than any other 150 cc bikes.
The seat is very comfortable for long journeys, but a pillion passenger might face problems.
I had to change my horn because the horn given by Honda is very bad - people can hardly hear it. It's very difficult to ride with that horn on the highway.
