I would recommend buying one if you want exclusivity but not price wise. Try to get a second hand one. Even though I bought a new one for a cost of 74, 000 rupees, I thank god every day for making me not choose unicorn.
Good mileage, comfort, great looks everything is in one package. Pillion ride and seat height are the disadvantages. Feels light and very managable in traffic.Its similar to a little R15.
In handling it is superb. It's a Honda so you get more reliability too. There is some more disadvantage too. The electricals are of average quality and on loading a heavy pillion rider after 70 km/hr the vehicle may show slight lag.But think one point.you are reading about a bike that can easily get ahead of the might pulsar 150.( Tested it with and without pillion rider). Also on the comfort department, I have done to and fro ride from cochin to bangalore(a total distance of 1100 kms) and only pain I had was from sunburn.

Some things that amazed me
-
The paint quality of this bike is awesome.Still no faded portion on paints
Still can manage a topspeed of 105km/hr after 6 years.
Mileage never gotten below 55 kmph, Usual average was around 65km/l, and was getting consistant 73 km/l for the first 2 years.Honda gave me more than they promised.
No rust on anywhere on the body.
Been in many humps and potholes, no disk bend or suspension collapse.
Easily drivable in both city and highwyas.
Still not much maintenance.
The engine still is silent as it was before.
Still very comfortable for the rider, not feeling gulty for paying more than a unicorn costs.
Highly exclusivity. physically I have only seen 6 other bikes in my entire life.
Chicks dig this bike because of its great colour scheme and premium and big bike look.
Never let me down while using, no starting trouble, mileage issues or problem with PGM-FI as some people reports.
Very important, no fiber parts are loose on my bike.hmm.if you ask to owners of glamour / glamour fi.they will tell you about the qulaity of rear fiber parts.
Good front breaks.
Banking sensor is very uncommon in 125 cc section.honda cares for security.
