    Manufacturers' logic talks only by numbers. They not sell, they not well. Simple as that.

    While the classic Unicorn might hold a place in many a bikers' heart and retain its qualities of a smooth torquey engine, I'm sure the decision must be motivated by lesser sales. People might have talked through their wallets, and that's what lead to this demise.

    In any case, we can give a respectable farewell to Unicorn 150... Good Bye Unicorn 150.

              The new Unicorn has taken production space of the old one. Plus new models to be launched and already jam-packed production line in all the plants so it was inevitable that the older Unicorn would come to a screeching halt. The engineers at the Honda production facilities must be pulling their hair out. Despite the new plants being operational, they still have a lakh worth of backlogs pending when i read a report a few weeks ago
