      As per the subject matter, the front alloy wheel has been broken while driving on a small dig present on the road. Very bad quality of alloy wheel in Unicorn is observed . We purchased 2 Honda bikes 4 months back , we are very disappointed with the quality of alloy wheel in Honda bike.

      Great handling and gets some kind of confidence while riding which can't be explained . Features are outstanding and all above that m series silver color has a great road presence . It never looks like 155cc.and not even power is like 155cc its above that and the gearing ratio is dam hot and the meter console is too hot. Headlight power outstanding. system related to stand power cut off is working even with headlight, when its in gear, just put the stand on and headlight gets off and if you want to keep on keep it in neutral. Engine refinement are next level...Smooth and punchy Body fit and finish is very good, even more than kilometer 200 2022 edition. Suspensions are well tuned for Indian roads, little at harder side which is required as per our roads. Rear suspension is like 1000cc setup which comes in r1, r7 etc. Which is separate from swingarm, this helps in not allowing jug's in our spin and back etc. Very clear and intelligent machine blend by Yamaha . After all its global product. Seriously rear suspension setup is very unique and not seen yet in Indian market before by any brand. At least Yamaha that you will have back pain etc...Because rear suspension don't allow you to discomfort, due its complete separate from rear wheel, it carries whole load of pothole on body and near engine. Must buy if requirements of individual gets fulfilled or wish to buy sport bike under 300cc segment. No disappointment. No regrets. Treat it like a member so that time to time maintenance is done to maintain it's charm.
