Unicorn

Honda Unicorn is Hondas Flagship Model. When it was introduced in market it created a buzz. First ever bike in India with Mono Suspension. It created hype in youths with its muscular looks and great features. It was soon a success for Honda. After 1/2 years Honda refined its engine to be more smoother and finer.

     Whenever you drive a Unicorn first thing you feel is NO ENGINE SOUND at all. No gear shifting sound. And another thing is the feel of Mono Suspension. It’s awesome. You cant resist it. You feel like flying through the Air.



Let’s move on to specs now.

Engine Type: 4 Stroke, Air Cooled OHC, Single Cylinder

Displacement: 149.1 cc

Torque: 1.3 Kg-m @ 5500 rpm (12.8 Nm)

Net Power: 13.3 bhp @ 8000 rpm (9.9 KW)

Carburetor: CV Type

Starting System: Self

Gear Shift Pattern: 1 Down - 4 Up

Transmission: Constant Mesh, 5 Speed gear

Front Suspension: Telescopic

Rear Suspension: Advanced Technology Mono-suspension

Front Tyre: 2.75 x 18

Rear Tyre: 100 / 90 - 18

Front Brake Type: 240 mm Disc

Rear Brake Type: 130 mm Drum

We can see here it’s a Pure 150cc Bike with 13.3 bhp. The bhp resembles the horse power required to stop a bike in its full speed. It’s a 5 speed and the pattern is 1 down and 4 up.

Let’s get into some points about unicorn.

Speed and pick up : Pickup is really good, you just need to take care of its service on time. while talking about the speed max 120 KM/Hour.

Riding comfort : pretty good, you won’t got tired too much even on long drives. The bike isvery much smooth as compared to other bikes thanks to MONO suspension.

Fuel consumption : We have to keep in mind that it is 150cc Engine. it has the mileage around 49-52 km/ltr on city Road. on highway it has the mileage of 55+km/ltr.

Reliability : Honda’s technology is pretty relievable. The engine quality is awesome.

The negative point I will say is it don’t have a digital speedometer. When other companies 100 cc bike can have why Honda is always behind in it(Same is true for Stunner.)

Honda introduced last year Grand Pix Edition of Unicorn. It’s just the graphics change only.I have written a page about Honda Stunner Please read it for stunner information.I will update this page for comparison chart with other 150cc bikes.

Thanks for the info on the little Honda in India. Honda have run this little motor in basically the same configuration for more years than I care to remember, You are absolutely right! The engine is unbreakable if serviced correctly and always has been very good. Honda small motorcycles have great quality and finish too.It is common for Honda to opt for low tech for items that are easy to damage like instruments.
