I'm definite it isn't conscionable maine who thinks this is much of a Unicorn rival than the RTRs, Pulsars and Xtremes of the day. I disregard it arsenic different 1 of Honda's half-arsed, lazy attempts astatine the segment. It whitethorn oregon whitethorn not bring volumes, but it decidedly doesn't bring an aspiration to ain one. Even the Gixxer (more so, comparative to Yamaha) oregon FZ (less so, comparative to Suzuki) would beryllium a much 'want to have' benignant of a product.
I'm truly not definite wherefore Honda is specified a lazy enactment successful India, beryllium it motorcycles oregon cars. I feel, arsenic if they are truthful focused connected what their existent consumers want, that they are truthful acold disconnected everyone other successful presumption of attracting a full caller generation. Take a look astatine Hero to get a consciousness of however to clasp your existent commuter consumers and pull further radical to the brand.

Sorry for the rambling, but this motorcycle looks precisely similar thing that a 'dad commuter' who's ridden his faithful Unicorn/Shine for the past 10 years, would get due to the fact that the portion the motorcycle isn't astir to footwear the bucket, helium needs thing somewhat much exciting, yet thing excessively adventurous. I'm definite there's a conception which severely wants this, I for one, hatred it for being specified an eyesore which belongs astir 15 years successful the past. I anticipation this is simply a marketplace dud, truthful that I don't person to spot it excessively often.

Buddy, successful today's world, adjacent 'dad commuters' won't privation to beryllium caught riding this "new Honda" bike.

Many years ago, erstwhile the Unicorn 160 was available, a person deliberately picked up the Unicorn 150. In his eyes, the caller 1 was "no good."

After a decade, if this is each Honda tin travel up with, to accidental I'm disappointed is simply a monolithic understatement.

Honda botched their EV scooter launches, and present they've the temerity to connection India this bittersweet portion of machinery!

They not lone proceed to work the marketplace poorly, it seems similar they nary longer mean to larn the close lessons.

Now I'm done ranting!
