Was going through the HMSI website today and saw a new Tab under - About Unicorn . It says GP Edition . Don't know if all of you know about this or not . I was not aware of this when i was purchasing my Unicorn . Looks Good .

Ref : " + strTitle + "

Thought this would be of interest to those who are planing to buy the new Uni .Can check for the GP Option

Just another sticker job! to be honest, this looks better than the earlier GP version

cyclone2k · 09-29-2008, 08:44 PM

*Yawn* boring!

I actually liked it. Atleast it adds some uniqueness to the bike. I liked the earlier version too, the repsol colored one.

Regarding this color scheme it looks like Minolta Honda to me. What say guys?

Point is why are you opting a body when soul is something else altogether. I don't need race stripes or race whatsoever on a machine which is not designed a bit keeping race in mind.

PS: This HH and HMSI branding is so strong in our country that most of the population blindly goes by their reputation for every new variant they bring out. Infact i have seen many educated people who dont want to try TVS at all and are fully influenced by HH nd Pulsies. Now current assessment is HH has no variations like TVS have, and the vice versa falls for brand image.

This raises a question that why not TVS has used Dhoni (instead of flame) or some other Image maker for RTR. Personally, i feel RTR deserves much better marketing.

HH has three offerings for 150cc segment (with HMSI, that makes four), while TVS just one (considering 160cc within 150cc segment).... so, they do have variations, more variety. I too opted for HMSI for their reliability and unique look (stickers)

... headache free and different from crowd.

Apache is directed towards performance oriented people, esp. youth, who don't need to be directed by celebs, they buy what they find good... Flame is directed towards commuter class, where celeb endorsements do make an impact... So, they got Dhoni there.. Apache sells on it's own.. i.e. by goodies and performance..

KMH just has few blue spots on the body, while whole of it white.. unlike here... In case of RH (Repsol Honda), it did look like it... If, it is indeed made to look like KMH, blue wheels could have been another cool add-on.
