Honda Unicorn



Honda set foot on the Indian bike market with the legendary Honda Unicorn. With 150cc engine and mono-suspension, it was the first of its kind in India. In one word, it can be summed up as ‘The Smart 150cc Bike.’
The bike is fantastic both in performance as well as aesthetic value. It is a perfect fusion of sporty and macho design. With features like swift acceleration, superior mileage, international styling, riding comfort and convenience, the bike has made some benchmarks in Indian automotive industry.







Engine
Unicorn comes loaded with a 4 stroke, Single Cylinder, Air Cooled engine with a displacement of 149.1 cc which produces maximum power of 13.3 Bhp at 8000 rpm (9.9 KW). Maximum torque of 12.8 Nm (1.3 Kg-m) is produced at 5500 rpm. It has a 5 speed gearbox which is regarded as one of the most slick gear boxes and the clutch feel is like hot knife on butter. It is considered as the fastest motorcycle racing from 0-60 kms per hour in a mere 5 seconds in its class.

Design And Comfort
Unicorn is a good blend of sporty and conventional style and the bike comes in different fabulous paints. The clear lens halogen works perfectly and looks like as that of Karizma. The Unicorn's three-pod dials is voted for the best set in the country so far. A massive speedometer is fixed at the center and a sporty tachometer on the left. But it does not own a trip gauge. The squat fuel tank feels flatter and looks smart with a rounded chrome cap. It's one of the few bikes in the country with knee recesses which fit all leg shapes. The well shaped lockable seat offers adequate room both for the rider and the pillion. The aluminium footrests are buffed to a satin finish and a cut above the rest. The silencer adds further glint value to the Unicorn, with its large chrome shroud. Unicorn is designed and engineered to quench the thirst of style-hungry young bikers. It has a distinctive sporty and macho design with a racy front face, masculine fuel tank with knee grip and a sleek rear cowl.
