The CB Unicorn gets a jazzy sibling in the form of the CB Unicorn Dazzler..

Back in 2004, when Honda was about to launch its first motorcycle for India, many bikers were expecting a lot from the world's biggest selling motorcycle brand. But when the 150 cc Unicorn was ultimately unveiled, there was almost a collective groan of despair from the enthusiasts of the country.
In 2010, the Indian motorcycle scene has evolved enough to accept mildly tuned 150 cc motorcycles as executive commuters
The simple lines of the Unicorn coupled with an engine that was tuned to delight the executive commuter, failed to capture the minds and hearts of the youth. In 2004 it was still early days for most Indians to consider a 150 cc motorcycle as an executive commuter.
Over the years, even though the Unicorn have managed to find a band of Honda loyalysts, compared to the presence of other 150 cc bikes on our roads like the TVS Apache, the Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme and of course the Bajaj Pulsar, the presence of the Unicorn has remained modest.
Honda seems to have taken a leaf out of its Unicorn experience and has launched a jazzy variant of the CB Unicorn, the CB Unicorn Dazzler. (Launch news)
If the Unicorn was blamed for being too conservative, the Dazzler tries to be diametrically opposite.
The engine of the Dazzler has been derived from the proven 150 cc mill of the Unicorn (with a 0.7 bhp increase), but it is the styling which has managed bikers to sit up and take notice.
Meanwhile Honda officials have stated that the CB Unicorn would continue to be in production along with the CB Unicorn Dazzler.
The CB Unicorn Dazzler is basically the same Unicorn Sports Concept that was displayed at the 2010 Auto Expo.
