Honda has finally revealed its long awaited bike Unicorn that will create a huge competition especially for Bajaj because they are the ones ruling the market in premium segment, but Bajaj is also reacted fast and will launch its twin model bike Discover 125 which might be a tough competition for Honda as Discover looks very sporty and has all the gizmos, alloy wheels among other Good Features which will generate interest amongst the youths who would like to buy a good looking bike with reasonable price tag Rs 45000/-which is a very smart move by Bajaj to keep its Graph High.
I guess Honda has named the bike Unicorn because it has a single shock absorber known as Mono Suspension that matches the Mythical Single Horned Horse with Wings which could fly and that?s why they quote along the picture of the bike ?Be A Wing Rider?.
Stunning Features
·Best pick up in its class
·It delivers an incredible 60 km to a liter
·It is a perfect fusion of sporty & macho design
·With Mono Suspension & Diamond frame, it takes all kinds of road shocks with absolute ease
·It is the only motorcycle equipped with a puncture resistant Tuff Up Tube.

But as my previous comments I still would like companies to launch at least 180cc bikes with a Heavier and Powerful look like the Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTS-I and Bajaj gets three cheers from me for this step.
I hope Honda also introduces a bike to compete with Bajaj 180cc and other heavy weight competitors, as still the petrol prices have no reached the skies.
Most important information I would like to share with you all is that, Honda Dealers in Ahmedabad are making good business from the Enormous Demand of selected model like Activa and now Unicorn.
It was my personal experience with the dealers when I wanted to purchase Honda Activa they informed me that I have to book it first and the delivery will be after 2-3 months when THE FACT was They were Having Ready stock with them but were giving it to the Agents and Finance Agencies who used to Sell it for them with Extra Bucks (Rs-3000-4000) more and both are profiteering from this demand and same will start for Unicorn.
I had mailed the Company about this, but I guess the Company is also interested in its Sales, no matter what price it is been sold at, which is VERY DISAPPOINTING, as Honda should also Be Concerned about their Reputation, Costumer Satisfaction and Support.
I hope they Do something about it and keep an eye on their Dealers.
