I am here to give my own review of Honda unicorn!! Being a proud owner for close to 9 months, I really love it..I am a resident of Chennai and earlier I had a splendor which hardly gave me a 55kmpl. Probably I wasnt lucky to get good mileage from a splendor. Now for the past 7500 kms which I have done mostly on city roads and has seen a monsoon, it is still holding a reasonable look, good mileage (close to 53kmpl), great pickup, superb handling etc.
What I suggest to readers is that get the bike serviced up every 2-3 months to keep it up in good condition. Pickup wise, I think its almost on par with pulsar and better than most other bikes in this category..For new Unicorn buyers, go with Self start model as cold starts in the morning causes a recoil which might hurt you (particularly when you dont expect it).
Honda mechanics say that if one gets it serviced regularly, then there is no recoil problems too... Dont know if its really true as I do service my bike regularly and still have problems at times with the kicker recoil...Otherwise its a cool bike to have with gr8 looks...
