Honda’s new Indian bike Unicorn is equipped with 150cc engine and mono-suspension, it was the first of its kind in India. Honda Unicorn is the bike with powerful 4 stroke 150 cc engine delivering output of 13.3 bhp engine clubbed with many other high end equipments like Constant Volume (CV) Carburetor, pulse exhaust system, offset crank and 2 way air jacket.Roller rocker arm, 5 speed gears, tumble free combustion Multi mapping CDI etc determines the performance as well aas the aesthetic value of the bike.
Its Unique shock absorbing mono suspension prevents discomfort due to the sudden jerk caused by uneven road. Its flexible seating arrangement, ample foot space give the total comfort of journey.Its aerodynamic body lining, sporty and sleek design, appealing tail lamp and excellent body graphics etc are enhancing its style statement day by day.It comes in different colours-Black,Candy Blazing Red,Champion Blue Metallic,Geny Grey Metallic,Forced Silver Metallic.
In comparison to the Apache RTR and Pulsar, it lacks in pickup. The bike does not give a sudden jolt of acceleration, but very efficiently increases the speed in a smooth fashion. The same acceleration power is retained as you go to higher speeds. Unlike other bikes which give a sudden jolt of inertia initially but sucks at higher speeds, Unicorn does a good job of constant acceleration for a long time with its 150cc engine.

Most of the bike’s Tail Light Assembly and head light seciton keeps shaking for some reason,while driving it.This can be corrected at Service Centre.The seat doesn’t fits nicely onto the body. Less space available under the seat.Petrol Tank lid is awful in it’s looks, although it does close down with ease.There is problem of Disc Noise in some bikes. There are bad cases of Cold Start also.it didn’t have a digital Speedometer.

AOC’s new 22-inch LCD monitor means the monitor that meets both sytle and performance. I am all impressed with the device’s design and performance.It’s got a piano black glossy finish on the front and diamond cut texture engraved rear cover. The front also sports a silver lining at the bottom and a user-friendly navigation ring. This is one of the few first 22” LCD displays to boast of an HDMI port and is also capable of acting as a standalone media player. Apart from the HDMI ports, this LCD has DVI and D-sub inputs, a 4-in-1 card reader and two USB ports on the side. The USB ports are for the Digital Media Player Engine; you just plug in your media via a pen drive or memory card, and play it keeping the PC out of the equation. The monitor houses two hidden 2W speakers and the output is simply great; loud sound without any blaring even at high volumes.
