                  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.

                  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.

                  Honda SP 160 – Honest Review after 27000 kms
                  Well i wanted a bike for commuting which offer a reliable engine with little sporty looks and good mileage, which can offer a smooth suspensions on highways and city. The bike offers a good value of the price in segment Travelled around 27000 km in 2 .5 years the suspension seems to be good until now but the bike surely feels under power for the 160 segment, handling is good. Even as a commuter bike it still performed very well on off-road and gave a smooth ride across my long tours with pillion. But as I got the first slot of bike it seems after some time some parts of bike have been changed and a throttle seems little on harder side . So overall being commuter bike it performs fantansic but just being under power for sure If ur purpose is just to go and fro from office it's an wonderful bike , but as 160 cc is having multiple options, if ur looking for more power u must avoid it , and if ur looking for reliable engine with low cost maintenance surely go for it

                  Bike comfort is good .
                  160 unicorn reliable same engine with fuel pump upgrade.. I don't need to look another bike I have drove 85k my last bike unicorn 160... Now I upgraded to sp160.. it's a powerful then previous model looks are good... I think distance between handle and rider is a little far for this segment... when I'm starting mostly taking while to get ready after a break. Last speedo meter has been updated.. i like the bike.. mileage is cool Engine it's a good, comfort is good.. Head light is v poor i suggest honda should give 160 a halogen or powerful headlight it's a request... I love riding this bike both on highway and city as well...

                  Honda sp160 after 30k+ KM
                  I choose sp160 because little sport look with more comfortable for family rides and within a budget. And I wanted more reliable Engine. I thought this comfortable and fit in the budget. And also in the consideration of mileage. Till now it was a good bike and more comfortable. But the service from the honda is not up to the mark. Just wasting the money on service center. Apart from service bike provides reasonable power and smooth riding. If you're considering a bike for family and also for a little long rides it is good option. For the engine and power with 160 cc it's a good option. No need to worry much about the comfortable this provides a smooth ride.
