First.......A very big thank you to all of you for helping me make a decision in buying a bike..I had been planning to buy a bike since last six months, but my family was always hesitant of the idea of me travelling in a bike so I postponed it. However I was very keen in reading about the reviews over the net so that I would get an idea about which is the ideal two wheeler I should be buying. Some of the bikes which were dismissed at the beginning were the Pulsar, Apache and Hunk.
As and when I read about the reviews posted on this website I noticed that there is generally a large fan following for the Unicorn from the Honda stable. The more I read, the more curious I became to know about this bike and feel the experience of riding it. Finally after much of a family drama and continuous chasing with the HDFC two wheeler loan dept for weeks, I got the bike last week. I bought the accessories from outside which easily saved around 1000 bucks.
My first ride on my bike and I was ecstatic. I travelled to my office (around 30 kms) on this mean machine. The most amazing thing which I liked about this beauty was the handling. Damm ! I could manoevure it through all the twists and turns on the road with relative ease. I am not that expert but I think its giving me an average of around 50. One small problem I faced was that when I slowed down my vehicle and went to the 1st gear the engine stops. After consulting my friends I got to know that it happens initially for new bikes.
I have my first servicing to be done on 25th of this month ( which I think is too early ). My bike has already done over 430 kms.
