Honda Motorcycle & Scooter has launched a new version of the Unicorn. The CB Unicorn Dazzler is priced at Rs. 62,900/- (ex showroom Delhi) and will come with five speed transmission, digital instrumentation, 17 inch alloy wheels and rear disc brake. The bike is Bharat Stage III emission compliant and is available in four colours – Armour Gold Metallic, Pearl Siena Red, Pearl Nightstar Black and Sword Silver Metallic. According to Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), the Dazzler will give a mileage of 60 kmpl. The company will continue to sell the existing Unicorn, which is priced at Rs. 59,285/- (ex showroom Delhi).
“The 150 cc segment of the Indian motorcycle industry has grown over two-fold in the last three years and it is expected to grow at this rate. This new Unicorn will help us in achieving more market share in the coming days,” Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) Operating Head (Sales & Marketing) NK Rattan said.
The Mumbai launch of the Dazzler is on the 14th and we will be covering it. If you want to ask Honda officials any questions, just drop your comments below.

This is my first bike as i saw most of people not willing to buy dazzler bcoz there is no kick start, will you let me know what assurance the company give for electronic ignition start. As car dont have kick start but Bike cant be compared with Car as they have lot other comforts which a bike dont have.
I think the prob persits after few years, then maintance of bike will be more.
I need to know which is better bike dazzler or CB unicorn…CB means???
hello sir..
i am currently looking for my 1st bike..
like the new honda dazzler a lot..
but my only query for it is about the kick start thing…
i just want a good assurance from company that the self start gonna serve itz best anytime..
if it happen to fail the it would be like a gun without a bullet….
also i wanna know that if at all self start mechanism fails then what minimum would it cost to get it done right once again..
thanking you…
Vicky, get the Dazzler, it will serve you very well and the kick not being present is not a problem as the bike has maintenance free battery. If the self does not work you can push start the bike. Self not working can be due to various reasons and the cost of repairing it varies on the problem but mostly it is covered free if your bike is under warranty.
I am planning to buy dazzler. But a bike without kick start creats doubt in my mind

Hi all..i have bought uni dazzler on May 31st…Completed my 6 months and it has crossed 4500kms…Only one word i can say is Awesome or excellent or great….now i m feeling the slogan of Honda “I Enjoy the Quality”it has very smooth engine with comfort riding…. its definitely a gud upgraded package than old unicorn…the wider rear tyre,sexy digi console,power increment and tubeless tyre gives u a pleasant driving and sporty look…paying just 4000 bucks extra u get thise upgrades than older Uni which is good value for money thing… In City riding i acheived mileage of 52…Depends on driving style..but it gives around 50-55 kmpl in city riding conditons…In top speed(60 – 70kmph)also bike doesnt makes noise and vibes..feels like flying….only doubt is it doesnt have kick start..oly elec start..i ve doubted and scared while hearing first..after enquiring dealr he said ..it comes wit MF battery and sure ther will be no prob for 4-5 years in battery….gear shift is really smooth and easy….braking is excellent…one more thing i like to clarify is here i seen in several posts that rear disk is risky and tough for fresh new first time riders…But the truth is rear disc is not powerfula s front one…i’ve felt rear dis is some wat 20 -30% sharper than drum brake…but ther is no question of riskiness in rear discs….on the whole its a sporty commuter,…..my top speed is 116 kmph..i m very much satisfied…it simply overtook old uni in all aspects…while comparing to
pulsar(Poor performance and engine and no comfort..only style) and
gs(rust prob and relaiablity of engine) and
fz(Better and good style – but fails in mileage and high price)..
Dazzler is better in all aspects…but it can beat the style of fz..but in performance and specs wise it has comparitively better than above 3…so guys go for it and Have a enjoyable riding…
Some Issues i faced in my 4500 kms of journey wit my Machine
1.Sometimes i face this..not all the times..wen i m driving in 5th gear it automatically shifts to 4th gear…
2.In Winter season have to use choke for starting…
3.My Clutch cable has got cut aftr 20 days of purchase and they have replaced me for free of cost..
4. Engine gets very heated after some 10 to 15 mins of drive for first 2 months…. now its ok…heat reduced…5.the vibrations i hav faced it in initial stages…but now if i go at 70kms also no vibs and gearshift is so smooth like slicing the butter or boiled egg
Tips for Good maintanence of Dazzler :-
1. Do timely service
2.Jus lubricate u r chain 10 days once..it will b gud..This is Important.
3. For Better braking u shud apply both front and rear if you go beyond 40 kmph
4. For Good Mileage .. Daily Morning after starting the bike leave the bike in Idle engine running condition of 1500 rpm..It allows Engine oil to flow through all parts of Engine fully..Start riding after doing this.. Dont Use Clutch Frequently..Use it wisely..
5.Each and Everytime u giv for Service jus tell the service person to check the MF Battery health and Recharge it fully for avoiding Battery related problems..This is very important since u hav to rely only on elec start…
6.After your free services get over – Dont go for Honda service after that…Prefer your Good Local mechanic..BCos honda service mechanics are not so good.
From my Experience i hav crossed 4500kms…it got very smooth……….its like grape wine man…as days pass it will taste gr8…sure u will feel aftr crossing 3000kms….Dont Read my review and take decisions…U Jus go to the showroom..test ride the Dazzler ..andd u urself will feel the difference from other bikes…Take a wise decision..
if any issues or queries mail me to sun_vijay2003@yahoo.co.in or sundar3030@gmail.com…bye..
My experience so far:
BATTERY PROBLEM:
1. Battery is not reliable (failed at day 1 for me).
2. If not in use for 2 days, you have to use choke to start. People staying in cold regions (delhi) may find it worse in winters.
On day 1, battery was not working after a while and had to start by pushing it.
Went to the showroom next day and they said it was a connection problem which they fixed.
Again, the same issue occurred and the battery was down by evening. I had to start by pushing the bike which is not possible in traffic. Its a real pain.
Went to the showroom third day and they replaced the battery. It has not failed so far (1 month now) but who knows, can’t rely on it anymore.
REAR BRAKE: Rear brake is really bad compared to drum.
I am unable to stop the bike using rear brake from just 40 kmph within 10 meters. Its feels little risky to me especially if you have to stop the vehicle suddenly.
Honda explanation: All disk brakes are like that and will be fine after 200 km.
I did 200 km and nothing changed.
Gave the vehicle for service and then rear disk brake was not working at all.
Honda explanation: Since water has gone into the brake, it is little less. It will be okay after a day.
It was okay after riding a day but now the question is what will happen in rains? Isn’t it quite risky.
GEAR NOT SMOOTH: I did not find the gear to be smooth and it would give a feeling of hardness while shifting from higher gears to lower ones. I changed my gear lever from the toe only to heel shift for comfort. Now, I find the gear stops at neutral when changing from 1st to 2nd. Really annoying.
dude…..
i guess either u are at utterly bad luck or mayb dn’t knw wat….
bt damn sure this wuld be the first ever reply m goin thr’ wich is quite impossible to believe….cn understand abt choke thng wich at timez i du hv to do…. bt regarding battery dn brkz n all u really facing a bad luck ever…
newayzzz wish u happy riding.. jst lukout for ppl within ur region oweing same machine…and ask i gues to not getting a satisfactory service frm dealer..jst c if those ppl also facing same service problm….
newayzz a happy riding to u….njoiiiiii
@ Ravi S Ghosh…Hi Ravi.. me too has faced the Battry problm as u told…but not at 1st day..aftr 6 months i faced the same prblm…and i got ir replaced…now 2 months over…its goin smooth wit new battery…but dono wen it’ll make problems…v shud get some permanent solution from them reg battery…cos the battery warranty is uto one year only…so v hav to get it solved within 1 year..or else they will charge for battery problems…
But other things u said – (Rear brake,gear shift ) was not at all ther…. other things are going very gud….Rear brake,gear shift is so fine…i think u shud get a proper service…
One more major prob i m facing is Engine ets over heated aftr 10 mins drive…all engines get heated ..but tis one…gets very over heated and within 10 mins…giv suggestions
@Ravi,
Sorry dear friend….i have completed 3000 kms now in dazzler…
not even once i used choke till now from day1…..
i have left it in rain for 2 or 3 hrs many times but starts without any problem and without using choke….
BUT YES…
one problem i have been facing is gears…… its not at all smooth….and gear slips and prob is not solved even after 2nd service….
AND i am getting a mileage in the range of 57 – 60 in city…. :)
Seems like everybody is having one or other problem. Certainly, Dazzler is not a product one would really love :(
However, in my opinion, the biggest problem is the dealers not willing to accept that there is a problem. Rear brake is really very bad as I said, cant stop the vehicle even at 30 kmph. But the dealers are not ready to accept it. Seems like I’m stuck with a dude.
@Ravi S Ghosh: why do guys try to act like a hero…..who the hell are you decide that “Dazzler is not a product one would really love :(“. Something may be wrong ur particular piece….so dont blame the whole lot.
I feel the handlebar to be little heavy, especially during turns you can feel it falling on the side you are turning and you have to kinda life it back. Anybody else had this issue?
sorry the battery complaint is abig problem ETZ -5 BATTERY IN MARKET IS NOT AVAILABE
To surprise nobody has posted reply to my problem of suspension!
any way iam managing it as i have accustomed to bear the problem!
:-{NEW THING»
Select push rubber botton on speedometer console panel is not available in loose! 1 has to buy whole thing costing rs 250/- this is a LOOT coz that silly thing can b easily removed by anybody causing nuisance to owner.
COMPANY IS NOT AWARE OF THIS
HERE IS A HUMBLE REQUEST TOCONCERNED AUTHORITYS TO TAKE PROPER ACTION .
Hi friends i’m an ardent fan of Honda (now). I’ll give you a clear picture of which bike is better. I & my friend has both CB Unicorn & Pulsar. CB Unicorn – Better comfort, mileage, durability. Pulsar- Comfort (not upto the mark), mileage (?), durability (not steady). I waited for more than three months for CB Unicorn and at last got the bike. I don’t regret for waiting since it is better than any other bike i have rode and i’m telling you this from my heart. I had CBZ, my friends had Apache and GS150R. We all drove each others bike and came to a conclusion that all of them liked CB Unicorn. CB Unicorn has a uniform weight all around and the jerk is well-balanced even if the bike is in full throttle. We all went for long drive and everyone loved to drive CB Unicorn. Once you pass the third gear you wont feel the engine sound, it’s so smooth, no wear & tear for long-term (Guaranteed). It is trendy too for youth’s and good value for money. I strongly recommend everyone to buy CB Unicorn especially the Pearl Black. There was once this saying that “Honda stays longer than your best friends” i agree to that quote now.
Hi
I bought a new dazzler and by reading all the scrap i am affraid how my new dazzler will be..
don’t buy dazzler becoz spares are not available -last one month, iam trying to buy some spares,i think its a failure model and i am trying to sale it.
@anil … sell to me >>>
Maintainence-free battery means no need to top-up battery frequently with distilled water. This means less work for showroom mechanics during service, but for the customer it means nothing. The lifespan of ordinary battery and maintainence-free battery is the same. Cb Unicorn has 7 Ah battery, but dazzler has only 4 Ah battery. So, battery in dazzler is of lower Amphere, so it will discharge faster. I agree unicorn is good bike, but dazzler is not. Dazzler without kicker is not reliable.
If we have kickstart, if battery fails, we dont have to run to mechanic immediately, as we can kickstart the bike, so we can continue our work and go to mechanic when we have time. Without kickstart, if battery fails, you have to leave all important work and go first to mechanic to get it fixed. Car owners are obviously richer and have money to spend on mechanic frequently, but can bike owners afford frequent trips to mechanic??
I agree with that complete. So far over 6 months, I’ve got 2 such instances of battery being dead, one on the second day of buying the bike.
Secondly, I have had tremendous problems with mileage. I have been getting 40 kmpl or less. Went to service center at least 20 times. Finally, complained in Honda website and they asked to give the bike to the service center. They have done something but not sure whether the issue is fixed. I’m testing the mileage now.
Hey Dazzler lovers please help me in suggesting what should be the even speed for a new Dazzler for its first 1000 km, What will be the maximum speed of my bike for first 1000 km??
Thanks
