Honda CB Unicorn 160 is the entry-level 160cc offering. In November 2018, not a single unit of the motorcycle was sold over the country.
Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India has a huge lineup of two-wheelers. Most of them are running succesfully, including Honda Activa, Dio and Grazia amongst scooters and Shine, Hornet and X-Blade among bikes.
For the past few months, a well-known bike has not garnered any decent sales. Honda CB Unicorn 160 remains unsold for November 2018. No unit sold across the country seems a bit rough.
CB Unicorn is a good looking but commuter focused 160cc motorcycle. Unlike its elder siblings, X-Blade and Hornet, it does not attract buyers looking for a sporty motorcycle.
