Up there with the best

Honda knows what the Indian customer wants – and that’s Fuel Efficiency. Boththeir earlier efforts, the Activa and the Eterno scooters set the respective benchmarks for Fuel Efficiency and now the Unicorn promises to do the same.
On the highway run the Unicorn returned 68 kilometres to the litre while in the city this dropped to 56kmpl. With an overall figure of 59kmpl the Unicorn will do 767km on a full tank. The worst the Unicorn returned was 48kmpl.
Compared to the other 150cc contenders, the Pulsar 150DTS-i betters the Unicorn’s highway figure but the Unicorn scores everywhere else to result in an overall figure that’s 3kmpl better.
An interesting bit is that our overall figure is very close to Honda’s claimed figure of 60kmpl, tested on their self-configured Indian riding mode. This deserves special mention since this is the first time any motorcycle has delivered efficiency figures anywhere close to that claimed by the company, manufacturers always claiming hugely optimistic figures obtained under standard test conditions.
