Value for Money and Fun to Ride
I’ve been riding my Apache RTR 160 for the past one year, and honestly, it’s been a great experience. The bike looks really sporty — I still get compliments from friends and strangers now and then. It’s quick off the line and super fun to ride, especially in city traffic. The handling feels sharp, and the bike stays stable even during tight turns.I usually ride in the city, and the comfort is pretty good for short to medium rides. For longer trips, the seat can feel a bit stiff for the pillion. I get around 48 kmpl, which is fair for a 160cc bike. Vibration is noticeable once you go above 80 kmph, but otherwise, the engine feels smooth. Maintenance-wise, it’s not too expensive. As long as you stick to regular servicing, you won’t have any major issues. The only minor thing I’d say is the rear suspension feels a bit hard on bad roads. Overall, if you’re looking for a stylish, reliable, and budget-friendly bike with good performance, Apache 160 is a solid pick. I’ve really enjoyed riding it.

As a user of shine 125
Honda Shine is a 125cc commuter bike. It is one of the finest 125cc bike one will ever ride. It has a highly refined engine. Gear shift and controls are very smooth. It is easy to handle and has good manoeuvrability in traffic and bad roads. Build quality is superb, seat is also comfortable. Pickup is very smooth and acceleration is quick.The only problem is cold start issue during morning and tyre grip is quite low. Also it's chain is too long which causes the loosening of chain more often then other bikes in the range. You have to tighten the chain every 1000km ride.

My Opinion on hero Xtreme 160r
Speed and look are awesome. And handling are outstanding. By the way. It's value for money. Iam saying like this because iam using this bike from 1 year and it's still giving me it's best.
