You sit upright on the CB Unicorn 160, much like on the older bike, and this is well suited for rush hour rides. Once you're astride the motorcycle, it is easy to settle into a comfortable position. And it is comfort that the CB Unicorn 160 is built for. The seat is longer than before, with more room for pillions. It even has different seat material, making it better suited for longer runs. The long stance of the motorcycle, combined with well-tuned suspension gives it a nice ride quality, and keeps it planted on the road at all times.
On a bright note though, Honda has gone ahead to make its already good product slightly better. In a nutshell, the CB Unicorn 160 manages to retain the character of the old Unicorn, including an air of maturity and level-headedness. It has the same remarkable quality with most of its parts, apart from an engine that is so refined, all the while offering good comfort. We can’t wait to give the CB Unicorn 160 our full road-test treatment. Look out for this in our upcoming issue.
