Honda Unicorn Limited GP Edition Unicorn

New Unicorn

Old Unicorn

Honda has also launched a 2008 Limited GP Edition Unicorn.. and this is how it looks.
Honda has also decided to refresh its 150 cc Unicorn with new stickers and paint scheme.. That's all that is new in the 2008 edition Honda Unicorn. The bike still feature the same 13.3 bhp engine and other specifications as the older Unicorn.

The alloys have improved the staid looks of the Unicorn. Honda could have done well without the Chrome on the Headlamp and the side panels.

The Black Theme, (started by the Bajaj Pulsar 180) seems to be the latest flavour these days. The TVS Apache, Yamaha Gladiator Type J.A, Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme, Hero Honda Karizma and now the Honda Unicorn have all gone for that "Black Treatment".

Changing the wheel size from the present 18" to 17" could have accentuated the gap between the rear tyre and the seat and could have provided the bike with a racier look.

Unicorn Limited Edition version

The riding postion is the same as the older Unicorn. Pushing the footpegs a little back would have given the bike a little bit more sportier stance compared to the present "upright" commuter friendly riding position.

A Limited Edition version of the New Unicorn dressed up in Honda Repsol Colors has also been released.. 2,500 of these Limited Edition Unicorns will be rolled out in May 2007.

Colors:

The 2008 Honda Unicorn comes in four colors: Black, Silver, Red with black graphic and Black with red graphics.
