This Beast is Impressive

A mythical beast with an antelope’s body, lion’s tail and a bearded horse’s head with a single horn on its forehead. Heard of Flying Horses. Well, thats the definition of a Unicorn. I Took this Black Beast this december and I must tell you, she is awesome.


I used to drive a Bajaj Caliber and was somewhat happy with it till I got some bank balance and Worms. Options were (a) Pulsar and (b) Unicorn. I had heard of Apache but didnt wanted to wait for it. Decided For test drive and Maaaannnn!!! Test driving a unicorn Says it all.


Things I was looking in a bike:


1) Handling: No Bike in India Can match the handling of this bike. It is so easy to maneuver in heavy traffic jams, and it balances its own weight. Steep Slopes, Curves, mud, dust, water, stones even Sand; you can take her through anything she will give you the confidence, telling you ’’Hey! I can Go.’’


Rank: 10/10 For handling


2) Power: In My opinion, Uni’zz got the best 150CC engine in its class. Smooth, Powerful and extremely Noiseless. Another thing I noticed was her pick-up is Jerk less. Although, I personally believe Uni should have been a 250CC baby; But she is Definitely the best in its Class.


Rank: 9/10 For Power


3) Mileage: Initially she was drinking a lot of Petrol, but with just one service from a friend of mine in Andheri, she gives me 60-65 Km/L.


Rank: 7/10 For Mileage


4) Engine Sound: Well! There is no sound... but whatever sound she makes is highly appreciable. Makes you feel Good. Gives you the feeling of flying on a jet plane.


Rank: 9/10 For Sound


5) Braking: Highly Impressive Braking here, which was Definitely designed by engineers. The rear brakes will only slower the bike and will never stop it; preventing it from tripping or skidding. For Completely coming to hault, you got the most powerful Hydraulics in the front.


Rank: 9/10 For Braking


6) Looks and Style: I better not comment. You guys must be knowing its the coolest of all. (Specially the shape of the tank and the tail Light.) Plp used to comment upon the overdone graphics, and I was of the same opinion until the day I fell in love with them. :)


Rank: 9/10 For Style


7) Comfort: Seating is also a feature designed by Engineers ensuring the most comfortable ride. Great seating if you are travelling a long distance.


Rank: 9/10 For Comfort


8) Suspension: I heard plp bragging abt MONO-SUSPENSION And I used to wonder, ’’they removed a suspension from the bike and are talking abt it??’’. But Engineers I tell you... You make a person sit on the pillion and make him dance while you drive on 40. Mono-Suspension fully balances the weight of the bike on its own. Whereas with 2 suspensions the weight gets divided making it harder to control on Curves, or specially when the person behind is not sitting properly.


Rank: 10/10 For Suspension


9) Maintenance: A lil Costly than the others of its class; Do anything but never make the bike skid. Cause if you do, you will have to shell out a lot of money maan...


Rank: 5/10 For Maintenance


All Of This, PLUS The Bike is completely pollution Free. i.e. NO PUC required. On TOP, its the only bike in India with puncture resistent Tuff-Up Tubes.


Sporty, Classy, Jazzy, Manly, Eco-Friendly and Economic. In its class, at approx. Rs.60, 000/- it’s definitely the best!!!
