                  • Muscular design and chunky tank extensions give the FZ a big bike appeal
                  • Despite looking big, the FZ is very lightweight and handles really well
                  • Engine is very fuel efficient and gives good mileage for a bike in the 150cc segment

                  A Durable Bike with Excellent Ride Quality
                  I chose this bike because I love riding the Apache. I haven't found the same level of comfort in any other bike in this segment and the riding posture is also very comfortable and perfectly balanced and relaxed on every ride. The ride quality of Apache RTR 160 has been very good so far. For long routes, city ride the most important things are comfort and riding posture, and that's what really makes this bike's ride quality better. Everyone has their own choice, but I would definitely choose this bike in this segment. As per current regulations, bikes are subject to scrapper after 15 years, and if this bike is properly maintained, it still run like day one even after 15 years. It's a very durable machine.

                  I chose this bike because it is good bike for a middle class family with very good performance and good 160 cc engine with full power and stylish look and not much very high maintenance cost and it is very good for either is urban area or highway that's why I chose this bike. It is very comfortable bike for short or long people for ride with a good feature and its mileage is also very good with the 160 cc engine ever with a full power in engine. It has 3 riding modes also for ride that are very usable for bike. Yes I recommend this bike for a people who wants a good feature and a very good and power full engine. If anyone wants a good and powerful bike with a very good mid range mileage then I will suggest this bike for him.

                  Best bike for daily city rides.
                  I chose the Apache RTR 160 because it has a sporty design good mileage and strong pickup which is perfect for daily city use. It feels stable at high speed and the exhaust note is enjoyable. The only downside is its slightly stiff suspension on bad roads and the seat could be softer for long rides. The ride quality has been smooth and the engine responds quickly which makes traffic rides comfortable. Handling is sharp and I feel confident while turning. On long rides I feel a little vibration and the riding position can cause mild back pain. Still it is enjoyable for both short and medium rides. Yes I would recommend the Apache RTR 160 to riders who want a stylish bike with good performance for daily use. It has reliable mileage and great road presence but those who want soft suspension or long touring comfort should take a proper test ride before deciding.

                  Feels Safe and Solid
                  I bought it because of the positive reviews online. Also liked the looks – simple but modern. Mileage and build were key points. This bike is easy to handle for occasional long trips. Checked few options but this one gave the best sitting comfort. Riding experience so far is very good. No major vibration, smooth gear shifting, and comfortable seat. Feels safe at moderate speeds. Engine power stays constant, and no heating problem. It’s comfortable for both rider and pillion. Good bike for daily riders who care more about practicality than style. It delivers mileage and stability without any hassle. Highly recommend for those who ride both short and long distances. Comfortable, steady and gives honest fuel performance.

                  Unmatched experience!! I loved riding
                  Unmatched experience, I loved riding Yamaha FZS V3 DLX edition and after riding this I got to know why people say Yamaha engines are exceptional good!! Maintenance cost also doesn't hurt your wallet. Comfort is also good for city commute and average is too good on this bike. Overall I enjoyed riding this and got to know why people say Japanese brand Yamaha is the Lord of the streets.

                  According To Me It Is Recommended To Buy This.
                  It's a bike for long drive. Safety when it's comes to safety it's easy to handle and control. I have ride till now around 1500 Km. For me the mileage is around 47 to 50 kmpl. If you are safe riders then it will give you good mileage. Very comfortable in riding. Sitting is also very comfortable. I am very glad after purchasing this bike. Mileage is very good and it is very useful for students mainly college students those whom have very low pocket money. it's price is affordable for that person who wants to buy a sports bike and having budget of 1.50 lack definitely go with this bike. A very comfortable bike and it also has a up to 1000 maintenance charge, it's mileage is superb and styling is really gives a sports bike feel, with this segment of engine cc. It also gives a best top speed.

                  Good Bike for 150cc variant
                  I chose Yamaha FZ due to the bike body style and of course for the Yamaha brand. The Bike comes with good mileage and riding on this bike is also comfortable. Exhaust sound is good and one thing about this bike which is different from other 150 cc bikes is the mileage and maintenance which is cost effective. Overall the ride is positive as the seats are comfortable within city ride. The long ride becomes difficult for the person who is seating on the back due to the seat density. Bike pickup is very poor, this is the biggest cons. If you are looking for a bike which gives you sporty look with great mileage then YES, Yamaha FZ V3 is the ultimate choice. But I would also recommend to check for other brands as well such as Honda and TVS.

                  More than average
                  I have seen many bikes which are more better than this but the problem is that they are more costly than this but when I found this then I get to know that this bike is under range and looks are superb. Every thing is fine but I think the exhaust should make more noice than this because I buy this bike because I wanted to feel that how it feels when exhaust is burst within your ear time you ride and now I'm not much satisfied . I surely will recommend this bike because it comes in range and performance is better than average which is a good point . On the other hand the bike look awesome from distant and nearer . So go ahead bro
