                  Review after 1 year of riding CB300F flex fuel.
                  Good for daily and highway rides, mileage is good, service maintenance cost is low, suspension is not hard, light on pocket, i choose it for daily office use and its a great bike. 1 year completed and no issues yet. Positives- good mileage, good suspension, low cost on service, best for daily use Great for highway rides, pillion rider is comfortable. Negatives- headlight not that good, horn switch will irritate you for sometime. For daily commuters this bike is great and also if you do weekend rides on highway. Who want above 250cc bike with good mileage can buy this bike. Flex fuel version has no problem with e20 petrol, it will not effect bike mileage and engine too.

                  A powerful no-nonsense future proof machine
                  Previously I rode the Yamaha FZX which was comfortable but non aggressive. I have always missed the pull and throttle response. Suddenly I got to know about this bike. The main highlights that attracted me include the fact that it supports up to one hundred percent ethanol and has almost all the essential safety features like dual channel ABS and traction control. It delivers max power and torque output in the lower RPM range which is perfect for city riding and highway touring without stressing the engine. The 177mm ground clearance is ideal for light off roading. It has no nonsense bluetooth features that only drain the battery. Additionally it features simple looks a 6 speed gearbox and USD front forks. I did a test ride and fell in love with this machine. I have ridden it almost 1000 km so far and am very much satisfied. Initially there were some hiccups here and there that I felt. The rear suspension is very stiff. I will try to adjust the preload setting according to my preference and will see if that helps. With a pillion the riding comfort is excellent. Actually stiffer suspension means road stability. If you are fully geared up and load your bike with luggage and even a pillion there will be no issue. However I am facing problems while riding alone in off road situations. It lacks a main stand so you need a paddock stand if you load your bike frequently. Chain maintenance is a headache for the same reason. Even after the first service I am getting below 30kmpl mileage. My average speed is 20kmph so there is no red lining involved yet I am still not getting good mileage so far. I will certainly recommend this bike if it is not discontinued as rumored. It is ideal for those who have a budget of two lakhs and want to experience a good amount of torque and power. It is a future proof bike. People are getting over 40 kmpl mileage after the second service. However I will not recommend this bike for lightweight riders or those who primarily ride alone with almost no luggage and do mainly off road riding because the suspension is not suitable for this kind of riding style.

                  Good bike for youngsters
                  Good handling and medium breaking, medium performance for short time city and highway riding, good sharp stylish looking naked bike, good road presence, low service charge with medium mileage 30 to 40 kmpl. Long ride comfort is not good after 100km. Wrist pain and shoulder pain, good handling bike. It's give you confidence to flicker very easily. Front break is good stopping power but too much abs kicking problem, rear brake is not good, no stopping power. Top speed after 2nd service 124 highest, mileage not that good 40 km after simple riding. If you ride aggressively, mileage can drop upto 30-25 kmpl. Can recommend this bike to the youngsters who go to college and those who want to explore many places on bike. Short time riding and some time aggressive riding and those who want naked sports bike in low cc and low service charge bike, this is good for them.

                  Excellent bike
                  My pulsar NS 160 is still in excellent condition with all documents and riding experience is awesome and bike is also fast and reliable. It also offers dual channel Abs and it has less maintenance cost and it gives immense pleasure to ride. Bike mileage is about 40 kmpl and full tank costs nearly 1k only and this is the best bike, I have ever rode in my life.

                  good bike but need some improvements.
                  The bike is good handling and performance but the mileage is not that good, it gives me 30-35 kmpl mileage. Meanwhile, the other 160 segment bikes give more mileage and it's not that smooth at higher revs, feels too much vibration. Design is good and handling is good but not so comfortable feels pain in back and shoulder after long ride as it's sports bike.

                  Review of my 6 years old NS160
                  I got this bike when i was 18 back in 2019, after almost 6 plus years and 30 thousand kilometres. I personally see this bike as the best value for money one can get. Apart from that this bike is still relevant after all these years. The one thing i like the most about this vehicle is its handling. If maintained well this bike gives a smooth and comfortable ride be it in city or highway. Mine is twin disc variant with single channel ABS, break bite is quick enough to react in emergency breaking situations. The only con I have noticed so far is bajaj's parts durability. Though they offer parts at cheaper rates comparatively but still it becomes a headache when you need to replace them more often. Will recommend this bike any day. For me this is a perfect package of commuter, adventure, long riding basically everything. I have done 500 kms in a single day stopped at every 100 kms for nearly 30 mins and the bike performed very well. This is a perfect bike for those who look for a all-rounder bike with low maintenance.
