The Honda Unicorn 160 has a top speed of ~115 km/h, produces 13.9 hp and weighs 143 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.2/10.
Honda CB Unicorn 160 को भारत में 2015 में लोकप्रिय CB Unicorn 150 के अपग्रेड के रूप में पेश किया गया था, जिसमें बढ़ते 160cc कम्यूटर सेगमेंट में प्रतिस्पर्धा करने के लिए 162.71cc का बड़ा इंजन था। यह विश्वसनीयता और निखार के लिए यूनिकॉर्न ब्रांड की मजबूत प्रतिष्ठा पर आधारित है, जिसे 2004 में लॉन्च किए गए ओरिजिनल यूनिकॉर्न 150 के बाद से स्थापित किया गया था। यह मॉडल अपने स्मूथ इंजन, आरामदायक एर्गोनॉमिक्स और Honda की प्रमाणित बिल्ड क्वालिटी के कारण उल्लेखनीय बन गया, जिससे यह भारतीय बाजार में दैनिक यात्रियों के बीच एक लोकप्रिय विकल्प बन गया।

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.

प्रयुक्त क्रेता समीक्षा
"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.
