"Honda takes on Bajaj with this challenger"

What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?

Rattly tail lamp problem keeps popping up.

Speedometer cable once went bad, and hence I was without an odometer too for about 20 days. Costs Rs.85 to fix at the authorized service station. (I will keep updating the review as the time goes on).

General comments?

Honda's customer service has a long way to go. You actually have to book the service day! (at least here in Pune).

The bike is the smoothest of all 150cc bikes here in India. The suspension works well. However if you have to travel on very bad roads (like I have to), I recommend you take a good look at the Bajaj Pulsar with the Nitrox suspension.

This bike has really taken the fight to Bajaj. To really make a point, the Unicorn is priced lowest in Bajaj's home town Pune!!

However I expect Honda to keep bringing out newer and better variants out from time to time, as Bajaj does.

1) Poor look when compared to a Pulsar.

2) Shield rattling when acceleration is raised.

3) Silencer knocking the rear brake lever when offroad.

4) Low mileage when compared to a Pulsar.

The Honda Unicorn is the best bike in India, but one disadvantage in this bike is no alloy wheels.
