Honda Unicorn

The Honda Unicorn is a motorcycle developed by Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India and introduced in 2004, internally called the CBF150M. Its engine was taken from the post-2005 CRF150F, and the design was done with Indian road conditions in mind, with features such as a two-way air jacket and a diamond frame. The first version had spoke wheels and kick start with an optional self-starter. Honda claimed it reached 60 km/h from rest in 5 seconds, while India Business Insight reported 5.28 to 5.86 seconds and a top speed of 114 km/h. Honda released it to compete with the Bajaj Pulsar and the TVS Apache, and later changes brought alloy wheels, an electric starter, a polished head, new graphics and an oil-coated air filter better suited to dust. HMSI sold 720,000 Unicorns in 2007.
