                • Cons
                • Yamaha FZS-FI V3

                  • 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

                  Bajaj Pulsar NS160

                  • Handles well and changes direction quickly
                  • Now comes with smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation
                  • Styling is similar to its bigger sibling, the NS200
                • Yamaha FZS-FI V3

                  • Switchgear quality feels quite basic and not what you’d expect at this price point
                  • Misses out on features like turn-by-turn navigation
                  • Headlight doesn’t have the desired output and doesn’t do a good job of illuminating the road ahead

                  Bajaj Pulsar NS160

                  • One of the heaviest bikes in its class
                  • Engine isn’t refined at higher revs
                  • Pulsar N160 does almost everything that the NS160 does, at a much lower price

                  Good for raceing
                  Best experience of ride this bike. On highway, ride is more comfortable on this bike and gives good mileage of around 50 kmpl. Top breaking system, abs and disc, mind-blowing colour options. I have been using it for 3 years. This bike feul system is amazing and all tyres are good working. Bikes gives good comfort.

                  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.

                  Yamaha FZ V3
                  Bike is a 2022 model and is very comfortable driving within the city and also it has good torque and height clearance is also good, has bulit in bluetooth which adds a extra layer safety from theft. If going for a long drive then also it is comfortable. In premium petrol can give an average upto 45-50 km.

                  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.

                  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.
