Hi brothers of
mouthshuht.com
its nizam again.After Passion plus, Sek320i and Victor GL!
>>Unicorn price here in chennai, India Onroad 64, 000 INR
Let me categorize this "Flying machine - unicorn" on the
3 aspects namely.
Who is the ideal rider for unicorn
performance
special features
>This is a "powerful biker's segment" bike 150cc
category, bike weighs 145+ kg, decent sliding towards tail( they call it wing
!) and sturdy.
>Rider must be in a good physique to control.
Atleast the rider should handle triples well in slow speed
traffic.
> Maximum riding comfort guarenteed. Monosuspension is an added advantage.
>Mileage is around 48-55 kmpl
sure.( for normal unleaded petrol, better don’t use additves added petrol)
>power delivery of the bike is uniform, Well designed Gear ratios. Sometimes when reducing
gears the gear change slips.
>Riding is damn smooth, no engine sound can be noticed when speed’s above
35kmph.
>The self start mechanism is such a soft operation
>The Tumble flow technology
also makes the engine cooling
even faster and better air mixing claiming added mileage.
>It has a bright head lamp and sharp tail lamp, headlamp operates on
DC/Battery too.
>Answers
for Mothshut.com members
1. pls add more reviews on mileage and suspension
> Mileage is sure 50 kmpl, even if u are a worst driver, suspension is suited
for city riders only, but best in its class
2.Fuel meter problem in Unicorn
>It has reserve of 1.3 or 1.5 litres, when the fuel inside is about 3
litres always no fuel guage problem will occur, andnote the side of the
fuel-guage ball and fill fuel alwaysin the opposite side
3.Honda unicorn new looks, More internal changes thn externat changes;
> More changes are done only in the external looks in the new model, but the
flying machine remains the same and best
4.Help-pulsar or Unicorn for an 18 year old?
> I would suggest some 125cc bikes, like discover OR shine OR Zeus, else go
for Unicorn, and ther is a common myth
that riding pulsars cause groin injuries,
CBZ-xtreme and unicorn are best in those seat/comfort cases.
6. wanted to know about rumors of the unicorn vibrations after
1000kms.
> partly yes, but the answer is its baby smooth when u buy but alwaysremains
smoother than any other bike( smoother than Suzuki Zeus too.)after 1000kms or
more, Its actually the wearing out of the plastic components attached, and I
noticed a minor problem with the chain, it remains very loose in NEUTRAL, but
when on gears it is normal tight unlike other bikes, but overall satisfaction
is guaranteed
8.test ride results on Honda Unicorn wanted
> easy glide on 80kmph within 15 seconds. Mileage 48-55kmpl, don’t rash
drive!
>Now some negatives, I came to
know.
1.When using this bike rough, the chassis looses its line of gravity, and bends
left or right in Centimeters, from the place where monoshock is joint( down),
and it may cause some inconvenience of not-enjoying the monoshock fully.
Digital panels have conquered the market but unicorn have not.
Unicorn is not for wheeling or similar aggressive circus biking, but u can
be a racer in the track
NEWLY ADDED( FEB 2008)
1. Sporty Unicorn version *boasts a little bit tweaked engine, so thatit
appears to be a bit-higher in the pick up side, but very little.by the wayi
don’t like its color and its wheels too. its better Spokes wheel than a ugly
alloyed wheel for Unicorn
2. Is unicorn best in all aspects?
No, its not best in all aspects, but the engine is good and some other features
surrounding it. I have to note that unicorn is First rolled out 150or power
bike for HMSI, but pulsars or existing HUNK, CBZ-X are already having their
generations of study about the Indian riding conditions. In a year or two
unicorn will still improve and best adapt to every Indian rider
3.Is Digital panels important?
No, its a fancy thing, but a trip meter or a real-time mileage indicator would
do best.
4. What I expect from next gen unicorn?
A fuel injection based type, single gear pedal, a little bit stylish body! and
any new kind of braking tech update from existing Disc.
5.Suggestions .
two wheeler industry people, be aware if TATA can produce a 600cc
car for 1lack, if u guys going on like hiking prices of bike beyond 50 then 60
then 80 thousands, one day TATA will come to the two wheeler
industry making 200cc bikes for 25000 INR, using good manufacturing
practices.!

>Maximum try to fill fuel @ the same kind or brand of fuel. dont often
changeit. And never fill fuel above half the tank.(i.e) never fill more than
4 ltrs @ a time!
>Consult atleast two mechanics when u have no idea on a thing in your
bike, dont rely on one mechanic like he is a magic man, Also not always the
showroom services are best than the roadsiode counterparts.
>Please note down every work on the bike and cost spent on it from the
buying date and also mark the respective kilometers it has run. Find yourself
an annual survey on the statistics, then who can be a better Bike owner, than
you!
>u can mail me if u have queries or unsatisfaction.
