So far, Honda has never gone wrong with its motorcycles and scooters in 150cc and below segments. I know of many people who are extremely happy with their CB Shine and CB Unicorn. And they have good reasons to be – they get refined engines, durable build and good fuel economy. That’s almost everything an Indian mass-market motorcycle user wants.
But the Unicorn Dazzler didn’t sit well with the crowd it was targeted at – the young Indian biker. For most buyers, the styling just wasn’t right. They preferred the more sculpted design, fat rear tyre, aggressive riding stance and naked streetfighter styling of the Yamaha FZ-16/FZ-S. The Yamaha also doles out more power. So, has Honda taken a few cues from these rider preferences and made the CB Trigger more appealing for the target buyer? We take a ride and find out.
