Honda CB Unicorn 160 Review - Static and Details - Handlebar - Left Assembly Honda CB Unicorn 160 Review - Static and Details - Ignition Switch
The Switchgear is minimalistic. We would have liked some of the open wires to have been covered. The quality of plastic and assembly is solid, though.

The  fully digital, amber backlit instrument cluster displays ample information and is clearly visible even in harsh daylight

The LED lit “H” shape of the tail light is an quite attention grabber.

  1. old unicorn is better than 160 unicorn. The looks are perfect, seating position is also better in old unicorn 150. 160 cc Engine is large which drunks 42 kilometers/1 liter petrol. Overall old is much better than new unicorn 160. I gave 9/10 to old and 6/10 to new 160 unicorn.

  2. appreciate the engine but design is not any better than old unicorn. reduced wheelbase and higher tail also makes bike look out of proportion. specially the tank design is simply disastrous. old unicorn looks better.

  3. they are still not as much forward as cruiser bikes. they are neutral position. this is strictly commuter and comfort is top priority. I don’t like rear set footpegs as we can’t rest a foot there when standing on traffic signal. I have old unicorn 150 and feel footpegs are at perfect position during riding as well as standing.

  4. The real down-side with unicorn is the forward-placed footpegs. These are not at all ergonomic. Slightly rear-set footpegs would have been better. When CBZ, Hunk, Gs150r, SZR, and even Stunner all have slightly rear-set footpegs, why honda cannot give it to Unicorn?

    Also, no engine kill switch and choke near engine is disappointing.
