        Also, is handling the CBR in city so painful? I was considering to buy CBR250/300 whatever is launched, and I find this comment useful.
        Couple of reasons why the CBR is not so good in the city

        Really extreme lean forward position
        Gearing that requires frequent shifting

        Both these meant that I was rarely riding my bike and sold it after a year for a hefty loss😔

            It means honda knows that their bikes are not good looking.

                Its just a marketting gimmick for the Unicorn 160 launch.. look at their question.
                " Digital speedo or Mono suspension what's your choice?"
                Pretty sure they're saying the Unicorn 160 has BOTH so you don't have to compromise between Looks or Performance

                    I guess bikes must have arrived in dealerships or should I say nobody is interested in this plain jane commuter...???

                        Honda only recently joined social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. I only knew they were on twitter today and only came across them on FB like 2-3 months ago.
                        Glad that they are addressing customer complaints on their fb page, their customercare email was my only resort till date and personally it has worked for me 9 times out of 10.

                          Tank is looking much better from this angle, in fact it is looking good and better than trigger's tank which looks like a very cheap copy of fz's muscular tank. That's good if they are designing some thing from their own and trying to satisfy the needs of a practical buyer. They know they can dent into the share of p150 which is kinda family bike in India and at the same time it is the highest selling 150cc bike in the country also. I think they have worked on the practicality front, may be because want to gain volumes as fz's and gixxer's are second to pulsar 150 in terms of sales even after having all the all the fancy stuff.

                            Exactly! They seem more intent on snatching the number 1 position from Hero by playing it safe rather than fighting it out with fellow Japanese companies by launching naked bikes.

                            I feel this will sell better than the Trigger but time will tell if this will emulate the success of the original Unicorn.

                              It is very tough to dent a successful product in India. Here are some examples which are almost impossible to beat: slendour, pulsar 150, tata salt, parachute oil, tata 407, maruti alto, maruti swift, mahindra bolero and many more.)

                                One more picture from honda showing its digital speedometer and kick starter also.

                                I guess it will produce 15+ bhp of power because of two reasons:
                                1. Honda is promoting it as a powerful bike.
                                2. Honda trigger with old 150cc engine is now coming with 14.35 bhp. So with additional 10cc we should expect at least 1bhp extra with 1nm torque also.
