well i have owned the honda unicorn for 1 year
well i have owned the honda unicorn for 1 year and three monts, i am from south india, kerala,
well my bike have no big problems, its going well, but niraj says about his bike?? UNLUCKY i would say, niraj sometimes there are manufacturing defects, which may be single type, well u were the unlucky guy, hey try sending ur compliants to honda head quarters in india, www.honda2wheelersindia.com,
and about my bike, its really doing good, i think diffrent people have different bike compliants relative to their riding conditions, well one i had was that part which covered the taillamp side had loads of vibrations and i went to the dealer, they told that it was the fibre which had a manufacturing defect and they replaced it with new ones, its now no problem, then other problem is that the material with which the side indicators is made is very fragile, it breaks in the side where we tighten it, other
one big problem for my bike is that the disk brake. well the disk brake isnt having the same response time as it had at the first time, they changed the disk brake pads 2 times,……. still no difference, i am not getting the same stopping speed as that of first time,
well one more thing
honda is always good when it comes to performance, and i even got 70km/litre for riding at 40-50 kmh, i used speed 93 at first since its octane no was 93, well 93 had the best power and performance …… no problems whatsoever with kick start, but when i used extarpremium it was a total looser, the bike had start problems, it didnt have the usual power and pickup, only thing was mielage…. and i think this extarpremium is not good for honda unicorn, now spped93 is out of production, now i use speed , well not that much difference but i wished we had petrol with much higher octane number…. then the performance would have been superb,
1 thing i must admit about honda is that they are very slow when it comes to updating the unicorn, now see pulsar, they made it so dfifferent within months, alloy wheels, different tyres, more sporty, nitroshock absorbers,…. what i like about our own bajaj is that they are so go when it comes to reacting to market tunes…
though i own a honda i have thumps up for pulsar coz its our indian bike,
if i had a chance to make a new version of honda,
i would have had a 3,4 versions launched simultaneously
i would have changed the front shield ,added a mileage guage, better disk brakes,much better seat cushion,
and devoid of the graphics they have now in unicorns, its a total looser, what good is it to paint the bike, if u have graphics all over it? i have a red honda, its gloss is so good, when i saw the new version,its tank was more graphics covered and i just hated it, happy that i bought the first version that the new 1…….
2,3 yrs from now i want to upgrade to a more stealthy version, some more ccs 250 maybe,
i havent seen shine, only in website,
it would have been much better if they just launced the honda unicorn body model with shine 125cc engine, coz it would be pretty good looking model for a 125cc,
well enough said , i am no engineer of honda, so all i can do is to imagine that 1 day they makebikes like what we dream of………
for people like us,……. its a very good bike market…
quality is going to increase, bajaj will try to produce more quality bikes since honda is theer,other companies as well.
