According to Honda Manufacturing (Nigeria) Ltd, the company recently introduced the Honda CB Unicorn motorcycle to the Nigerian market in an effort to elevate the bar for performance in the industry.
Hirohide Ichikawa, the managing director of Honda Nigeria Limited, announced the new product as “extremely reliable for commercial and private use” during his keynote talk.
The new Honda Unicorn, he continued, “was produced using the same cutting-edge precision technology that is synonymous with the Honda brand, and its unique and remarkable features make it the greatest in its class.”
According to him, the Honda Unicorn is designed to perfection after extensive engagement with Honda’s business partners, the distribution value chain, and personal users, adding that the motorcycle is popular in India and the Middle
East where the company recorded sales of more than 150,000 units in a year.
Ichikawa explained that the company decided to launch the Honda Unicorn despite the current economic climate in Nigeria.
“We are particularly proud that the Honda Unicorn is being launched today under the present difficult operating terrain in Nigeria. This doesn’t only symbolizes the hope for a better future but also expresses our continued belief and trust in the Nigerian dream,” he added
In a presentation, the company’s sales manager, Olabade Badejo, stated that the Unicorn motorcycle stands out because it is practical for riders and that its parts are readily available.
“It offers superior quality and durability and has the lowest fuel usage. It is pretty valuable at resale.
The motorcycle is marketed to individual and business clients, the company claims. It may also be used by bank dispatch riders, delivery companies, businesses, leisure riders, and security agencies for patrol.
Stating further that Honda motorcycles are used in over 175 countries, Badejo accentuated the company’s plan to commence safety riding training in April 2023 to improve the riding skills of riders, increase profitability and boost the safety image of the organization.
He added that the training would be focused on riding mechanisms, accident, and responsibility, cornering postures, balancing, and braking systems.
