Honda SP160 sits above the Unicorn 160 and shares a number of characteristics with it. It has a muscular tank design with bold shrouds, an aerodynamically profiled under cowl, a sharp-looking LED headlight cluster, a newly designed LED tail lamp with an H-shaped signature, etc. It can be thought of as a slightly sportier version of the Unicorn.

Performance-wise, the dependable 162 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine from the Unicorn is used. It has a maximum power output of 13.5 horsepower and a maximum torque of 14.6 Nm.

A five-speed transmission is mated to the OBD2-compliant engine. The bike is in direct competition with the Bajaj Pulsar P150, Yamaha FZ, and Suzuki Gixxer 155. Additionally, it has a fully digital console that displays information such as the time, an indicator for when maintenance is necessary, the gear position, a side stand indicator, a gasoline gauge, average fuel mileage, fuel consumption, and average speed.
