Hi Friends, I am here to share as well as get some suggestions about my bike. So this is my 2nd bike earlier I used to ride Yamaha Gladiator 125cc, Which was indeed a cool bike in terms of Pickup, TopSpeed, Ergonomics, Super Handling only thing was it could give mileage of only 45 kmpl and I started getting problems in my bike frequently after 4 yrs, So instead of fixing all the problem I decided to go for a new bike.
This time I wanted to choose the bike which means to be renowned bike in market since I was concerned about the resale as well mileage, quality etc., So I bought new CB Unicorn on 22 July 2011. Please find my experience with Unicorn in the last 40 days.
Good Experience:
1) Bike looks good and heavy.
2) It has got nice silky smooth engine and gear box.
3) Excellent Mileage in the segment.
4) Standard instrument cluster with Odometer, Trip Meter etc.
Bad Experience
1) Uncomfortable for Pillion rider(Difficult for Pillion rider to spent more than 30 minutes when driving in city).
2) After completion of 1st service I tried to ride my bike above 60-65Km/hr and started getting vibration. - I never expected that since I had heard from friends that Unicorn easily reaches 90-100.
Anyways I will wait for 2nd service completion and then I will try to rev it above 65-70 km/hr.
3) Uncomfortable while maneuvering- Specially when I am @ low speed of 20-25 and taking turns in a market place, I feels that I am loosing control, I am sure that most of Unicorn riders might be having this complaint.
4) The Head light & Instrument cluster light keeps on varying with speed like in the small bikes like Splendor. I never experienced such thing in my Yamaha Gladiator. This makes erratic when you are on a Signal and trying to read the figures in the instrument cluster.
So friends I will wait for your valuable feedback about my points above(Specially want to know about Vibration Complain), I shall Update my review after 2nd/3rd Service till then Take Care & Ride Safely.
