  Hmm-I see they make a 150cc and a 160 Unicorn. Don't think that name would make it over here in the USA  https://www.zigwheels.com/newbikes/Honda/Unicorn

No matter the name. A bike with 150 or 160cc would be dead in the water in the US. All around the world, small bikes are successful for inner-city transport and short commutes as well as entry level vehicles for youngsters with restricted licenses (16yrs in Europe).
Neither one is an issue in the U.S. of A. Everybody wants at least - at least - 750cc. I am always amazed how many new riders want a "Fatboy" or a "Roadking".

just had a quick google image of them and it must be said they have to be one of the most barkingly ugly motorcycles I've seen since....well, since last time I looked at my Vmax but that's another matter

From a sales standpoint or physical ability? The 250cc bikes are pretty decent on power. It's a matter of time before smaller cc bikes are making decent enough power for the road. My wr250r has no problem carrying my fat ass down the highway at 80mph.
