The Honda Unicorn is a motorcycle developed by Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) and introduced in 2004.{{Citation |title=Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Announces First Motorcycle Model; Production of New "Unicorn" Model Begins on New Second Line.|author=Honda Worldwide |date=September 8, 2004 |url=http://world.honda.com/news/2004/c040908b-eng.html }} It was internally called the CBF150M. The engine was taken from the CRF150F post 2005 engine. The previous version of CRF150F was the old CBZ classic. The design of the bike was done keeping in mind Indian road conditions. Many new features were incorporated, including a two-way air jacket and a diamond frame. The first version of the bike featured spoke wheels and kick start with an optional self-starter.{{Citation |last= Muralidhar |first=S. |title=Honda Unicorn: Wings of change |periodical=Asia Africa Intelligence Wire |date=November 28, 2004}}{{Citation |title=Honda launches 'self-start' Unicorn |date=January 14, 2005 |url=http://www.rediff.com/money/2005/jan/14look.htm}}

Honda claimed the Unicorn accelerated from {{convert|0|to|60|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} in 5 seconds. India Business Insight reported acceleration of {{convert|0|to|60|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} in 5.28–5.86 seconds, and a top speed of {{convert|114|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}.{{Citation |title=PROFILE OF HONDA UNICORN.|author=India Business Insight |date=February 14, 2007 }}{{Citation |title=PROFILE OF HONDA UNICORN |author=India Business Insight |date=February 28, 2006}}

Honda released this motorcycle to compete with the Bajaj Pulsar and the TVS Apache. Changes included alloy wheels, powder coated engine with a polished head, electric starter, new graphics, clear lens indicator lamps, a trip meter, and a slightly smaller rear grab rail. Performance changes included minor changes in the cylinder head, overhead valve, ignition remapping, and a rear sprocket increase of one tooth, which resulted in increased acceleration at the expense of reduced top speed. The air filter was changed from dry-paper to oil-coated to better suit dusty conditions and a new airflow screw was added to the carburetor. HMSI sold 720,000 Unicorns in 2007.{{citation |title=HMSI announces launch of new look Honda Unicorn |author=PTI - The Press Trust of India Ltd. |date=April 30, 2007 }} The Unicorn overtook the Bajaj Pulsar to rank highest in its category, the premium segment, in the 2005 Motorcycle Total Customer Satisfaction (MTCS) survey of 7,000 customers conducted by the TNS specialist division, TNS Automotive.{{Citation |title=Bajaj, Hero Honda, Enfield top customer satisfaction: Study |author=Asia Africa Intelligence Wire |date=June 24, 2005 }}
