The Honda Unicorn is a motorcycle developed by Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) and

introduced in 2005. The motorcycle was built and designed by the Honda R&D team based in
Osaka, Japan. It was internally called the CBF150M. The engine was taken from CRF150F post
2005 engine. The previous version of CRF150F was the old CBZ classic. The design of the bike was
done keeping in mind Indian road conditions. Many new features were incorporated, including a twoway air jacket and a diamond frame. The first version of the bike featured spoke wheels and kick
start with an optional self-starter.[3]
Honda claimed the Unicorn accelerated from 0 to 60 km/h (0 to 37 mph) in 5 seconds.[2] India
Business Insight reported acceleration of 0 to 60 km/h (0 to 37 mph) in 5.285.86 seconds, and a
top speed of 114 km/h (71 mph).[1][4]
Honda released this motorcycle to compete with the Bajaj Pulsar and the TVS Apache. Changes
included alloy wheels,powder coated engine with a polished head, electric starter, new graphics,
clear lens indicator lamps, a trip meter, and a slightly smaller rear grab rail. Few performance
changes included minor changes in the cylinder head, overhead valve, ignition remap and a
rear sprocket increase of one tooth, which resulted in increased acceleration at the expense of
reduced top speed.The airfilter was changed from a dry paper to oil coated to better suit dusty
conditions and a new airflow screw in carburetor. A limited Moto GP "Unicorn Grand Prix" edition had
the guise of a Repsol Honda RC211V.[5] HMSI sold 720,000 Unicorns in 2007.[6] The Unicorn
overtook the Bajaj Pulsar to rank highest in its category, the premium segment, in the 2005
Motorcycle Total Customer Satisfaction (MTCS) survey of 7,000 customers conducted by
the TNS specialist division, TNS Automotive.[7]
In 2010, a premium, sporty and stylish variant of the Unicorn, the Unicorn Dazzler, was launched.
Except its styling and presence of disc brake at rear, the other features and specifications are same
as that of the original Unicorn. From 2010, The letters of CB attached for Unicorn model and other
variants of motorcycles from Honda.[8]

I own a 2014 March booked unicorn, the specs on paper seemed to be awesome at the
time of purchasing.

The vehicle got delivered in 5 days I started riding it the mileage n comfort were good
And I started going on long drives I did a 650 kms in 12 hrs it ws very impressive until
then I had nothing to complain about the bike after the free service the bike started
shown up its flaws like the brake pads wore out at 10 k I dnt do hard braking n al bt I dnt
knw y it wore out so soon n then come set issues drove me crazy the bike went where
ever it wntd to finally got it chngd n tht problem went away but the most irritating issue
is tht the engine makes wierd noises I hate those its so discouraging the only thing the
only +be thing about the bike is mileage n comfort other than nothing to see here
people move on buy a apache or a pulsar but dnt buy a unicorn!!!!!!! U wl regret just lik
me its waste of time n money the money tht u save in fuel wl have to b spent for parts
beware !!!!!!!

Senthil on Honda CB Unicorn : Best Bike in case


of mileage and comfort for long run
+15 -13 02 Dec 2014 1:49 AM
I took Unicorn on 16th May, 2014. It was my first bike and so I reviewed every available
bike in 150cc model. And I was finally caught with unicorn alone. The Reason being
mileage, comfort , bike pickup and resale value on for a long run.
Unicorn won finally and I took it. The onroad price of unicorn was around 80k when I
took the delivery. The comfort of the bike is very good and the engine sound is very nice
to hear.
Initially the mileage was around 48km/l, which then increased to 52 km/l after the first
service.Till now I rode for 4000 km and I did 3 services. Now I am getting a mileage of
55 km/l which is very good for a 150 cc bike. The important tip to get a better mileage is
to try to change gears in 3000 rpm and also don't accelerate in the very beginning.
The only negative point on the bike is the look of the bike. Honda didn't changed its
design for a long period. Anyways the look is not so bad to concern about. It is ok to
manage.
Coming to the riding part, you won't feel any vibrations at all till the speed is 60 km/l.
And the vibrations will be very little upto 80 km/l.

So if anyone looking for a bike with better mileage , comfort and pickup, then Unicorn
will be the best choice. I fully recommend Honda Unicron and I am sure you will love it.
Thank you.

The Yamaha FZ16, also called Yamaha Byson in Indonesia, is a standard motorcycle manufactured
by Yamaha. Inspired by the naked bike concept,[citation needed] the FZ16 is modeled after its larger
counterpart the FZ1 with a scaled down engine capacity.
In March 2009, Yamaha has also launched the FZ-S, a variant of the FZ16 with a front visor.[2] The
FZ16 is also available in faired version called Fazer 160.
The FZ16 is primarily sold in India, and other markets such as Indonesia, Colombia and Argentina.
In June 2014, Yamaha introduced the fuel injected version of the FZ16, dubbed FZ FI (v2.0) in India.
Its engine displacement lowered to 149 cc (9.09 cu in) from 153 cc (9.34 cu in), resulting in less
power and torque from the carburetted version, but has lower fuel consumption. [3] The carburetted
version still remained sold there.
Yamaha also launched the Byson FI in Indonesia in June 2015.[4] According to Yamaha, the bike has
91 different components from the one that sold in India.[5]

+1 -2 20 May 2016 12:20 PM


i am using the yamaha fz for more than 2 yrs . its a very good bike. self balanced ,
better safety, stylish, offers comfort rides, i went a tour on this bike a total of 1000km , i
did not have any back pain. but you have to adjust the tappet every 15000km or once
im a year or else in cold areas the bike gives worse fuel efficiency and power ,
sometimes the engine would not even start

Hi,I bought my Yamaha FZS bike in summer 2012.This bike is one of the best bike in
India.Here is my Review

1- Speed and Balance -4.5/5


2-Safety due to slip while in moving- 5/5 (The best thing of this bike)
3-Maintanace -3.5/5
4- HeadLight- Very Poor(The worst thing of this bike,It is sometimes very risky to go for
ride in night) - 2/5
5-Power -4/5
This is entirely my rating and not influenced by any other.Bike is good.But using
headlight in night vision is the only thing that i suffers.
Overall VERY GOOD.

mileage is the only problem
+15 -7 10 Mar 2015 10:21 AM
if FZS got mileage of 50 kmpl or above it will be the most stylish and worthy bike in
150cc series. No one choose any other bike i think. i think it is best

I bought fz militry green from ganesh enterprise in mumbai(vikhroli), authorised dealer,
One month ago. I hav still not received bill of the bike. I gt all the papers late n they did
nt delivered the bike. I had to take the bike frm showroom on which they did nt gave
any form fr which rto caught me n i had to pay fine. I am really disappointed fr this
embarrassing service given by yamaha. My happiness of first bike was devastated. I
recommend all to not buy this bike as its after sale service is a big shit. Im seeking fr
compensation by yamaha or by ganesh enterprise (vikhroli). ks0151995@gmail.com
