    Re: Honda 160cc bike by year end: xBhp News

    Another emotionless bike by Honda. Is Honda really trying to catch up with the current market? Still people will buy it for it's so called Honda quality and badge. I'd prefer good ol unicorn instead of this messed up design. Hope this bike has decent quality unlike Honda's recent products..

      Was not expecting something like this. I've been an admirer of Unicorn for ages though I don't own one. But IMO, Honda has messed up big time. They could just have put in a bigger engine and increase the engine capacity by a bhp or two within the same old Unicorn frame. But, that's my opinion. Maybe more knowledgeable people in Honda think otherwise and they are right in their own way!

          Dude! that is literally the exact question I have been asking since the stunner came out.
          And the answer is that the very bike you're asking for exists in japan and is called the Honda CBF150F. I found online pics of the Japanese unicorn and found that it looks a lot like the hero karizma (old model zma).

            Also the question comes to my mind- 'Why cant Honda make lighter bikes"??. RTR 180, and Even Duke and R15 with the added fairing and radiator, weights less than Honda's 150.

              Its like with the Suzuki inazuma. While other manufacturers want to make lighter and faster bikes Honda and Suzuki seem to want to make Cadillacs on two wheels (full comfort and utility but lacks power).

                  Thanks. I was gonna use the examples of benz/audi and F@#%ing MAHINDRA (respectively) but I chose that one instead. It suited better.

                          Yes, the pic attached to the link also shows the old Unicorn model. Expect the price to be +5~6K than the present Unicorn.

                              The current unicorn costs 70k+ on road. The 160 will be priced higher.

                                Read the news link...

                                The new 160cc bike is priced at Rs. 63,695 (ex-showroom, Delhi) which means the on-road Delhi price will be around Rs. 70,000, confirms a Delhi-based dealer.
