The third motorcycle, which the company discontinued is Unicorn 150. The bike was officially discontinued during the may 2015. With the launch of Unicorn 160 in December last year, the bike started losing its point in the market, hence, the company took it off. The bike was first launched in 2005, it not only registered good sales but also helped the company to increase its brand value and trust amongst the people. It is still considered as one of the most reliable commuters.

Though the company discontinued three of its motorcycles, at the same time brought some of the amazing products in the market. The recently, launched Shine SP and the Hornet 160R are good examples of the company’s futuristic approach. Hornet 160R is the smallest displacement motorcycle from the Hornet family, which complies with BS-IV norms, which is to be implemented by 31 March 2017. Honda is planning to update all of its vehicles according to the upcoming norms by 2016.
