This design is far better than the previous attempts in terms of design and it is good that they are using the same chassis as the old Unicorn. I think this is the first time they might have a real chance of replacing the old Unicorn. But I don't want them to. They can co-exist like the Shine and SP 125.
@@Rakesh_ChandranUnicorn is a customer bike now, so even if Honda wanted to discontinue, they may not be able to do so, they tried in the past also. This SP160 looks like they merged all the failed models in to one so.........
Honda and Yamaha are some companies who have all amazing bikes in international market but always under-estimate India. Yamaha full on R15 and Honda on Activa
I was expecting a retro 160 bike similar to CB350 instead of unicorn 160. Since CB350 is has primium pricing and a retro 160 would attract a daily commuters.

This is such a classy step honda has taken. It will hit at the segment which it is designed for. They made every detail in view of comfortness. Honda should have launched this long ago with sp125.
That instrument looks like one on Fz-X unit! Should have changed front look at least for 160cc variant, it looks good but 160cc deserves more attractive face!
What Hero did decades ago with 100 cc CD100,CD100ss, Passion, Splendour, Joy, CD-Dawn, CD-Deluxe keeping that same 97.2 cc Honda has taken The same responsibility with 150-170 cc class…. kuch to acha banao Bhai….! 😃🙏🏻
Bro go for it, don't listen to these people, Just take a test ride, if the bike is in good condition then it is way better than wasting your money on a new bike, the bike has enough power and weight to be stable
I don't know who thinks tank shrouds are cool , its plain comical, instead if they had given a larger tank like the unicorn with a more compact headlight unit, would have done so much for the styling!
Honda is moving into the commuter segments they know baki sab dikhawa hai engine reliable hona chahiye pillion seat achhi honi chahiye , highways main stability aur long tour kar sakein😊
This is gonna be another flop like Xblade. What we need is CB150R and CBR150 in the 150cc segment. Honda will never listen to the market and keep releasing bikes nobody wants.
Honda SP160: Good looks, performance some what lags during riding, rear mud guard should be present or improved in upcoming versions. Good for single ride, for double ride, bit shakes.
Again they have made the same mistake which they did with X Blade. The overall macho styling of X Blade was ruined by that puny skinny front forks along with that super narrow 80 section front tyre. Same is the case with SP 150. Both the bikes look haathi from rear but agarbathi from the front. They should have atleast given 100 section front tyre along with 41mm front forks to complete the look. I know it may or may not aid to the handling and ride part but it will make the design look proportionate from all the angles. Honda is still stuck in stone age.
Lmaooooo. This is not a FZ or a Gixxer rival. I dont even think this will rival the apache 2v model. You think youngsters are gonna line up to buy unicorn 2.0. Honda bakwas company. Khud ke legacy ko laat mar rahe hai. Bahar itne acche acche bike bechta hai. Yahapar bas yehi activa aur unicorn ki boring engine 70 bike aur scooter pe dale ja rahe hai. Thuu honda

Honda has degraded a design (mistake) of not providing an externally accessible/replaceable oil filter which SP125 currently has. For those of you who ask why is that important is, Let's say the schedule is 6000kms for oil replacement, you can change the oil filter at 4k keep driving till 7k (commuting short distances i.e, less engine heat), if you can't change oil in time. & Also oil filters have more capability to reduce particles than strainer and ensure crank needle beering last longer , This feasibility is a must for Indian bikes offering economy and long life
Definitely this is not a Gixxer or FZ rival. This is just another commuter from Honda. Hornet 2.0 is the rival to those bikes, which is kinda dead now.
Don't worry commenters it's not made for RUclips experts youths .😂it will sell well like sp160. Sales what they needed if they launch cb150r sales numbers will be very less. Sp 160 good for family ,
Why don't they just launch the gen 1 cbz instead of embarrassing themselves like this . This goes for Hero as well. Will one of them just bite the bullet and bring the original CBZ back.
So Honda is going back in time for design of their vehicles - both bikes and cars... Wonderful! and ofcourse with premium pricing
Honda never disappoints to Disappoint us😍
Had me in the first half😂😂
Yup with it's great reliability...😍
But other competitors are equipped with ABS,DUAL CHANNEL ABS thses are very essential right...!!
For a daily commuter I can ignore Dual channel ABS. single channel ABS is sufficient.
What did it disappoint you with
The whole designing team at honda india should be changed. Honda cannot come up with a good looking bike that can compete with today's market.
I agree, they should learn from their car design team..
@@OmFreeRadicalnot the indian one tho... Honda bikes are almost all modelled after the SP125 or Hornet, and the cars are all modelled after the Amaze
@@muhammadfaheem3746true xD all are same
Maybe the performance won't be as good as a sporty bike so they chose that sp look
So True 🤦
Its not for those for whom looks matters,
It's for those for whom character matters
Well said! These ppl want something flashy..
Then go for Pulsar or Apache.
@@gobimurugesan2411mileage matters

This will end up having same fate as cb Dazzler, CB trigger, cb unicorn 160 and stunner 😢

My father has it and it looks like it new honda bike
FZ is most trusted in the segment
No comparison , I have got 2 FZ one is version 1 and second version 3 , fully satisfied
Same is the case with Honda cars... We change with new model.
The old hornet 160 was waaay better than this🤦
Honda and Yamaha are some companies who have all amazing bikes in international market but always under-estimate India. Yamaha full on R15 and Honda on Activa
*Yep, cb300r should've been priced lower & mt-3 should've been launched already ..*
Cost also a matter in India but not in foreign countries
The old cb unicorn 160, my ride since 2015 march, gets a new avatar as SP160...
Shine SP on steroids 💪

Exactly bro, retro style 160 cc bike from honda would be a huge hit 📈...retro designs are timeless beauty,which never get outdated on looks.
Looks more like Livo 160 than SP 160
It’s shocking to see such exorbitant prices. 10 years ago these machines were around 75-80k mark. 40k jump in 10 years is way too much.
Thanks to modi government looting in name of taxes, bs6 emission norms and petrol. Truly suppressing people of india

Man Se Awaaz Aati Hai ... WHYYYYY ... 😮
This is an updated Honda Hornet
I hope the suspension is comfy because in Unicorn it isn’t trust me.
True very stiff and spine wracking, even though the bike is amazing and refined only the suspension is stiff and rock hard owned one for 2 years
Tank from tvs,headlamp and visor from hero passion...great work by honda design team
What Hero did decades ago with 100 cc CD100,CD100ss, Passion, Splendour, Joy, CD-Dawn, CD-Deluxe keeping that same 97.2 cc

Honda, you guys used to sell cbr150r ten years ago. Remember that? 🙄
Why dont they update hornet with latest features.
Instead using old design with bigger engine.
Could have just released Hornet 160R with some minor changes😑. Ise kon khareedega

Reminds of the OLD TVS flame design
It actually needs chain cover to become a successor of unicorn. Practicality and easiness matters in this busy world.
I am happy with my FZ-S V3.
Yamaha FZ s best bike looks bulky with huge tyre good smooth engine and more than 50kmpl mileage
I would rather go for hero xtreme 160r 4v even though it costs more than sp 160.
Bought my Hero Honda Hunk in 2008, and this looks like a refurbished one
One of the best commuters for daily commute
May b an unicorn 2 next gen?
Slightly fatter forks would have looked much better. Design is khichdi of hornet, SP, xblade.
First I thought who is this new Guy😂😂😂.. after few seconds hearing voice noticed the hair cut😂
Seems like an afterthought.
Now I can feel proud to own a sp 125
I think it is gen 2 unicorn?
It is very similar to 15 years old Bajaj Discover 125cc model wise
Ye to Launch Hote Hi Purani Ho gayi😅😅

The handlebar is too low for the rest of the ergos. Will cause upper back problems long term.
Old wine in new bottle, Doesn't look much different from Unicorn, Honda needs to up the game
When can i expect a ride review ?
Is fuel tankplastic or metal?
Who else thinks it looks like a slightly retouched CB Unicorn 160 with LED headlight?
..is the H smart technology reserved only for Honda scooters only ?? And what about the bluetooth connectivity with turn by turn navigation ??
The rounded tachometer with digital console looks good, which gives sporty feel. They should offer the same in SP 125 as well. Thx.
Are you going to make review for this model ?
Why does this bike exist ? Why is Unicorn still on sale ? Even the Pulsars gave up the commuterish styling.
It's upgrade or downgrade
RTR Glamour 160😂
Quite fitting 🤐
Honda should have launched cb 160 r named bike in place of this with a modern engine ...let a price be a bit more
Any update about the Xblade new version
Want to buy this one for daily commute
But sir honda bikes and a6g maintenance cost is very high
Design definately inspired from pulsar Classics 180
Fir bhi pulsar 150 k aage koi comparison nahi hai 😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
We want cb150r and cbr150 🙄🙄
Atleast they want to give name for this engine like Royal Enfield J series so people can understand same engine of unicorn, hornet etc 😊
Is bike ka mileage kitna hai..
Plse post a ride review..
Nothing excited but good for family people
Bhai rear tyre jyada ho gya, rear tyre max to max 110mm wide hona chahiye
I will rather buy Unicorn. Its time tested.
I can't understand why Manufacturers are going for shit Display's?
Need a full review.
Bhai ek kaam karo...aaap na videos mat bnao...balki ads he bnao...itna laba koi ads dalta hai kya...
poor telescopic suspension, near to 1.5 lac bike they offer the telescopic suspension like 100cc segment
its better to go on with fz.
Honda please give dual channel ABS for safety.
They're keeping prices highest level but no innovative design😮
Definitely this is not a Gixxer or FZ rival. This is just another commuter from Honda. Hornet 2.0 is the rival to those bikes, which is kinda dead now.
Honda could have launch the cb 150 ex motion...sp 160 make no sense..
we need 300cc or higher cc like 500cc road bike from honda...not a enfield replica...honda is playing safe only...
Best of Luck
