The Honda CB Unicorn 160 (BS-IV) is a discontinued 162.71 cc air-cooled motorcycle with a 5-speed gearbox — an earlier, higher-revving generation of the Unicorn nameplate than the separately-catalogued current Unicorn. BikeDekho lists 14.5 bhp @ 8000 rpm maximum power, 14.61 Nm @ 6000 rpm maximum torque, a 240 mm front disc / 130 mm rear drum brake, an 80/100-17 front and 110/80-17 rear tyre, a 12 litre fuel tank and a 135 kg kerb weight.
The Honda Unicorn 160 is a motorcycle from Honda. It has been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. With a 162.7 cc engine it sits in the 150–250 cc class.
Power comes from a 162.7 cc air-cooled engine that makes 14.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 14.61 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. Its stroke is longer than its bore (57.3 x 63 mm), a long-stroke layout that generally favours low-down pulling power. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 109 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. The claimed top speed is 106 km/h. It has both electric and kick start.
It has a 5-speed manual gearbox. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
It is built around a diamond frame. Suspension is by telescopic forks at the front and spring loaded hydraulic type (Mono suspension) at the rear. Braking is by a 240 mm disc at the front and a 130 mm drum at the rear. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 80/100-17 at the front and 110/80-17 at the rear.
The seat is 785 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 135 kg ready to ride. Ground clearance is 150 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. It is 2,045 mm long, with 1,324 mm between the axles. It carries 12 L of fuel.
For the Honda Unicorn 160, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹999 doorstep service.
Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders.

Mechiee doorstep service
₹999
Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
With Disc, 240 mm and Drum, 130 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.
This bike runs 80/100-17 / 110/80-17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
