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.

Honda CB Unicorn Ride Review
The Honda CB Unicorn 150 Disc Brake model is the most reliable, simple, comfortable and also powerful bike that I have ever ridden. And Fuel-efficient bike to ride daily. The engine is very smooth, and hardly feel any vibration, even at high speed. I usually get around 50-52 km/liter in the city and up to 55-58 km/liter on highway.
