                  Blend of both style and practicality
                  RTR 180 and 160 2V both may not feel so comfortable at first and it require some time to get used to over long urban commutes. Good for touring as well, best with speeds upto 80-90 kmph and vibrates a lot after that. Decent mileage. Easy on pocket ownership cost. Became more affordable post GST 2.0. Go for it if you are looking for a motorcycle that is simple yet sporty.

                  Apache RTR 180
                  It feels torn out when it goes above 75 kmph but it has good pickup and it has very good riding posture and the bike is best for highways because it does not wobble on high speed and has very good stability. It has many cons and many pros depend on the usage and different perspectives for different users and different age group. It is best for youth because it gives very good mileage so overall this is a positive review. Yeah, For sure, I recommend this bike because it has decent look and good performance in a decent price range with the branding of TVS and I am using this bike from 2012 and till now my bikes engine has opened only 1 time and I have completed 75000 kms from this bike and I'm very satisfied.

                  Actually i'm a Honda lover looking for a bike under 1.5 lakhs budget with sports look and good mileage, so i thought this bike would be great option compared to other bikes and it has some advance features like large screen and phone charger and gear indicators. I bought this bike this year february and had a awesome experience went for a moon soon ride of 240 km up and down and planning for many more rides in upcoming months you can ride this bike with pillion upto 250 km in a day if there is proper weather conditions. If your are looking for best bike under 150000 with good mileage with low maintenance cost and engine reliability smooth engine with less noise and useful for city traffic and shorter rides, i can definitely recommend this bike.

                  Bike Honda SP 160
                  I choose this bike because it is availble in good colours. It has very good suspension. It goes over portholes like butter and it can cut your traffic like nothing. It gives very good mileage and louder, So overall a good bike. It has a very good mileage. The maintenance cost is almost 0. The feature and selling is like superb. The safety is on top Z plus security. The performance is very good and the comfort is like on peak level. You can drive it whenever you want. I would recommend this bike to a Bihari labour.

                  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...
