Hi Friends,

After much evaluation including local conditions like dealer, roads, usage etc, I finally bought UNICORN. It was delivered on 31/10/09.

Heartfull thanks to all of you for your valuable suggestions. Guyz who suggested GS150 pls dont take otherwise, i think unicorn is the best at my town. so i bought that.

Bye n take care,

This is just my opinion and no offense to anyone or any bike .

Mr stranger_twenties , normally I dont post in this section mostly because I feel only a test ride tells what a person wants and then if there is confusion , he has to make a compromise which I do not support but we have to make it because we got no choices here .

Anyways ,
I will try to point some things out , do keep these in mind while taking a test drive and decide because what I might find bad may be good for you ,
opinions differ.

As you mentioned you use it to commute to office .
The questions that arises here is that what kinda road is the 30 km stretch? . Considering our road conditions , its would be a combination of both tarmac and off road conditions .

Now GS does not have a good weight distribution , according to me .
Its feels heavy. People say while riding it doesnt bother much .
But is it ? , there are heavy and heavier bikes out there that feel like a breeze while riding , not like this one .
And then while riding in traffic ( which except for highways you must be doing always ) , while squeezing out through traffic and crowded lanes, etc where you would not be riding continuously at good speeds but very low speeds and with a lot of breaks here and there , you have to tackle this weight with your body , legs and hands which all are connected to your spine i.e., what I mean here is the heavy weight with not so beautiful distribution of weight will exert more pressure on ur back and will only aggravate your pain .

According to me , GS does not have good brakes .
And then there are issues like Rusting , etc .
Then small niggles like problem at some 3 or 3.5 k or whatever RPM.
My question is why to compromise when you pay your hard earned money man and when there is something better available . You spend thousands just to disturb your peace of mind and the most important thing in life which is time . Its ok if its worth it but again according to me , ITS NOT.

Honda unicorn is an absolutely brilliant piece of engineering and according to me should not be compared with Gs . The handling , the braking , the engine , all are better than Gs according to me .

Only thing some people have told me that its suspension is a stiffer compared to others . While riding singly , I also found it to be so but only on off roads or pot holes .But I was riding with company settings.
What most owners and a highly experienced rider and a owner have told me that it is not true . You just have to set the suspension settings according to your convenience and you re done .
Hence I am not sure on this aspect of it .

Now I do not wish to confuse or fear or trouble you or something .
But If you do have a back problem , why dont you consider buying a light weight , nimble and flickable bike . Unicorn is also a heavy bike comparatively . Some 100cc or 125cc which would be comfortable also or a second hand car which has good suspensions . Is you back ache problem due to muscles or spinal cord or both , whatever . Remember this part of your body is the most important in life , once there is a problem with it which in most cases is incurable will make life really difficult .
Rest you choice and your life .

Please note :
I have just given my opinion here , you please take others advice also and then decide whats best for you .
I have made some assumptions . You please make corrections and interpretations based on facts and your actual conditions and health . Sorry if I have given unnecessary suggestions ,etc . Just that I cant see anyone disabled . Oh yes if still not convinced consider what your heart says and work for it , do yoga , massage so so .

All the best mate and take care of yourself .
