  Unicorn experience

  Dear reader i bought unicornafter complain through web 2 times after 4 1/2 months. i booked in sep 13 2008 and received on jan 22, 2009. The bike is not as soomth as old unicorn and the gear shift also. pick up ok. now i have done 850 kms once i checked and i gave 50.03 kms/litre drove at 50 to 6o kms on 4 way road. I had rx 100 earlier and cannot say unicorn that good on high way in terms of pick up during overtakes. i bought at madurai, tamilnadu after test driving hunk and extreme. Extreme is far better than unicorn in terms of pickup and the display console, style durability. but milage up to 45 kms. i selected unicorn for mono suspension and milage. i am sure at constant speed it gives 50 or both are same. Extreme is more silent than unicorn. GO TEST RIDE AND U WILL KNOW. iT ALSO HAS A PARK LAMP AND YOU CAN FIT SIDE BOX BUT CANNOT DO ANYTHING IN UNICORN. eVEN IN COLD JAN. MOSTLY IT WILL START IN ONE KICK USALLY IN THE MORNING I KICK AND START FOR FIRST TIME DON'T KNOW ABOUT EXTREME. fz 16 IS EXCELLANT BUT DIGITAL CONSOLE IS ITS WEAKNESS AND THE PRICE. ENGINE NOT AS SMOOTH AS EXTREME OR UNICORN. Bajaj products are not bad but good with different technology and the leader in milage. REGARDS, AYYAMPERUMAL.R
