New Honda Unicorn R

Honda Motor Scooter India has launched an upgraded version of Honda Unicorn. The New Honda Unicorn has the following new features:

  • Engine tweaks to make the engine smoother and increase pickup.
  • Exhaust Heat shield has been given the same black treatment as the rest of the exhaust, making it some what more attractive.
  • Honda has also decided to paint the sari guard in black paint to make the bike look sleeker.
  • Honda Unicorn’s instrumentation panel has been changed to incorporate larger dials with brighter colors to improve readability.
  • The new gear paddle is toe actuated, as oppose to the conventional heel-toe shifter in the older Unicorn.
  • Honda has also added bar end weights to reduce vibrations.
  • Unicorn also gets a Chrome plated 3D logo to enhance its looks.

Overall the cosmetic upgrades have managed to make the New Unicorn look more appealing than its predecessor which was never a bad package to begin with.

  16. FIRSTOFALL UNICORN IS MY BEST FRIEND IT SUPPORTS ME WHEREEVER I TAKE IT
    IT HAS BROUGHT ME MANY MADLES IT PERFORMES LIKE 250 CC
    I CAN MAKE ANY STUNTS I LIKE
    BUT ONLY THE PROBLEM IS I CAN’T FIX BIG TYPES

  17. hi, HONDA fans ,one of my cousin working at honda said honda may launnch a bike to take on YAMAHA R15 may be in late or mid 2009 ,they r keeeping it highly confidential

  18. What the Unicorn needs to improve/change:
    Maybe a higher CC Engine (180cc-250cc)
    Fuel Injection
    LCD Console
    LED taillights

    What the Unicorn needs to keep:
    Ultra-smooth Engine
    Comfortable riding position (footpegs near the engine so that feet are relaxed and not bent backwards)
    Decent fuel consumption
    Honda reliability

    Honestly, I got a Karizma recently and it lags behind the unicron in comfort, pickup, ride comfort, seating position, build quality and fuel consumption…every possible aspect.

    Come on Honda, let’s see watcha got! give me my new Unicorn

  19. I agree with Someguy except that it needs a fifth gear too for sure. My bet is that Honda will come out with a 225cc or 250cc bike with these changes sometime this year. If they do, I believe they will own the market except perhaps for competition from a 250cc Kawi Ninja. It will depend on the pricepoint. You can’t beat Honda for quality and reliability.

  20. Hi Guys…I need to book new Honda Unicorn…but before that I would like 2 know any new Honda Bike is releasing in this 2009 before April or May…if it so, i will wait new Honda Bike…!!!

  21. unicorn is the best bike for the ordinary peaple in india. Its smothness & seating arrangement gives more comfort to have a long ride.
    There are some deffects also, the workers in the showroom are not ready to work well. I had said to them while service that , there is a problem with my handle & there is no proper function of disk brakes. The complaints havent maintained

  22. Hi, what is the gear shift pattern for the new version? I see that the control has shifted to toe-control. In that case, is there any kind of ‘footrest’ available? With the old gear pattern, I used to rest my feet between given footrest and back of gear paddle (at top gear, and when no more increment is available). Is this kind still possible?

  23. Same as old one and you really ought to be resting your feet on the footpeg.

  37. Are Honda unicorn engine and other parts genuine or manufactured in India?

  38. the unicorn is the best.
    but the unicorn dealers are providing not good response and service.
    I buyed 3 unicorn from Evm honda in cochin, but they dont have got any reliability and response in maintaining the bikes when given for service.
    they makes lots of scratches and makes the bike with full of scratches.
    even they make huge scratches so that paint is going.
    So i stopped giving my bikes to EVM for free service.

  39. Melroy Menezes says:
