Der Honda CB Unicorn 160 wurde 2015 in Indien als Upgrade des beliebten CB Unicorn 150 eingeführt. Er verfügt über einen größeren 162,71-cm3-Motor, um im wachsenden 160-cm³-Pendlersegment mithalten zu können. Er baute auf dem guten Ruf der Marke Unicorn für Zuverlässigkeit und Raffinesse auf, der sich seit der Markteinführung des ursprünglichen Unicorn 150 im Jahr 2004 etabliert hatte. Das Modell zeichnete sich durch seinen ruhigen Motor, seine komfortable Ergonomie und die bewährte Verarbeitungsqualität von Honda aus, was es zu einer beliebten Wahl bei täglichen Pendlern auf dem indischen Markt machte.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Rock-Solid Engine Reliability
The Unicorn 160 uses Honda's proven long-stroke engine known for lasting well beyond 80,000 km with basic maintenance. It's one of the lowest-maintenance commuter bikes in its segment.
Watch for Chain Wear
The rear chain and sprocket tend to wear faster than average, especially if the bike is used heavily in city traffic without regular lubrication. Budget for a chain-sprocket replacement around every 20,000–25,000 km.
Strong Resale Value
Honda's brand trust keeps the Unicorn 160 among the top-retaining commuter bikes in India, typically holding 60–70% of its value after 3 years. Well-maintained examples sell quickly in the used market.

"Dependable daily workhorse that rewards careful pre-purchase inspection."
$1,200-$2,400 usedThe Unicorn 160 is Honda's bread-and-butter commuter, and honestly, it delivers exactly what it promises — nothing more, nothing less. The 162cc single-cylinder engine is bulletproof if maintained properly, sipping fuel at around 50-55kmpl in real-world riding. It's not exciting, but excitement isn't why you're here. The suspension soaks up rough roads surprisingly well, and that monoshock rear setup ages gracefully compared to twin-shock rivals. Buying used, watch for the CBS (Combined Braking System) — earlier units had single-channel, which feels wooden in panic stops. Check the chain and sprocket wear hard, because neglectful owners skip this constantly. Engine knocking at startup usually means ignored oil changes. Fork seals leak on high-mileage bikes, so get underneath and look carefully. Avoid anything above 40,000km unless the service history is spotless. It's not glamorous, but a well-kept Unicorn 160 is genuinely one of the most reliable used buys in the commuter segment. Honda's reliability reputation is earned here.
