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, who made the announcement, described the new product as “very reliable for commercial and private use” during his keynote talk, according to THE PUNCH.
He added that “the new Honda Unicorn was manufactured with the same innovative precision technology that is synonymous with the Honda brand, its unique and amazing features make it the best in its class.”
He claims that after considerable consultation with Honda’s commercial partners, the distribution value chain, and individual users, the Honda Unicorn is perfectly developed, and that the motorcycle is well-liked in India and the Middle East, where the business reported annual sales of more than 150,000 units.
Ichikawa clarified that despite Nigeria’s current economic situation, the company chose to introduce the Honda Unicorn.
“We are particularly proud that the Honda Unicorn is being launched today under the present difficult operating terrain in Nigeria. This doesn’t only symbolises 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 is best in fuel consumption, it guarantees high quality and durability. It has high resale value.”
The motorcycle is marketed to both individual and business clients, the company claims, and it may also be used by bank dispatch riders, delivery companies, businesses, leisure riders, and security agencies for patrol.
Badejo emphasized the company’s plan to start safety riding training in April 2023 to improve riders’ riding skills, boost profitability, and improve the organization’s reputation for safety. He added that Honda motorcycles are used in more than 175 countries.
The training, he continued, would concentrate on riding mechanics, accident prevention, cornering postures, balance, and braking systems.
