                  performance with sporty looks.
                  I have loved this bike since my childhood. It has always been my dream bike. I touched this bike through my brother and have also ridden it. I love the handling and comfort, and I have decided to buy this bike. There are many good things to see in this bike. Last but not least, I definitely want this bike in my home.

                  Best in Segment
                  It may not be the best value for money, but it is better than others in this segment. The riding GPS lacks proper guidance and needs improvement. The red colour does not look attractive when riding off-road. The maintenance cost is also high due to the electronic components.

                  overly hapyy . good . choice
                  Sporty character and a beginner-friendly bike, but the top-end performance is not good. One downside is that it has only 5 gears. However, the low maintenance cost is a plus. No hassle. Someone asked me whether it was the N150 or N160, which was a bad experience for me. How do I explain that it is the SS variant and is better than other 160cc bikes. But its colour TFT is amazing. Love it!

                  awesome 👍
                  Upgrade jabadast hai lekin 18.5 power hone ke bawjud 5 gear hi hai, kam se kam 6 gear dena chahiye tha bajaj walon ko. Chalate samay 6th gear ki kami mahsoos hoti hai. 6th gear hota to chalane me or bhi maja aata. Top speed bhi kam hai. 6th gear hota to aaram se 140-145 top speed hoti. Baki sab thik hai.

                  Best bike in this segment
                  Maine N160 SS isliye chuni kyunki power aur mileage ka balance mast hai. 160cc engine city me smooth aur long ride me bhi bore nahi karti. ABS, digital meter aur wo aggressive styling, paise wasool lagti hai. Mere hisaab se N160 SS ab tak ekdum jhakaas hai. City me halki, traffic me easy. Highway pe 90-100 pe bhi stability solid hai. Seat comfortable, mileage 44 mil rahi. Bas initial gear thoda tight hai, baaki sab mast. Ye bike to mai jarur recommend karunga. Roz ke kaam or kabhi long ride dono ke liye N160 SS best hai. Look premium, mileage 45, aur maintenance bhi kam hai. Agar 1.6 lac me sporty practical bike chahiye to aankh band karke le lo.

                  vstrom=Overall package
                  At the time of purchasing i was confused between nx200 and this, but after taking test drive of both, i decided to go on with vstrom. I will recommend this bike to riders who prefers reliability over tech. Vstrom will give you performance+good comfort+less maintenance+attention. Today after 5000+ kms, i'm very much satisfied for purchase. Pros- looks so good- big bike like presence, less maintenance, good suspension not the best but good suspension, less vibrations, good ground clearance. If you like tech in bikes you will miss it in this, you will get bluetooth and turn by turn navi in this one, cons- suspension is somewhat stiff as for longer travels, headlight is not so good, you will need extra lights and others still finding out.

                  Value for Money
                  Perfect combination for both city and adventure touring with comfort ride, mileage efficiency and within budget. Even it has cons too. Cons: minimal features (required features only, no fancy). Overall its value for money and if someone looking for adventure bike with good mileage, easy commute in city.

                  Performance and adventure
                  I like to do adventure off roading that's why I chose this bike. Unexpectedly its more then my expectations, so recommend this bike to whom loves to explore mountains, off beat places, adventure, they can go for this bike. On highway, it gives good mileage and on mountain, it gives best performance. My experience with this bike is very good. Seat comfort is amazing. I used to get back pain in other bike but this one is more comfortable. Mileage and tyre grip on highway is good also on off roading grip is good. If you like adventure or off roading then go for it. It has comfortable seat, Abs breaking system. On mountain, off beat, it gives you best performance. Last year, I take this bike on ladakh trip and its worth it.

                  Meaningful touring bike
                  For bike performance, like engine, comfort, reliability, smooth ride. Availability, It is a great bike to compete with peer bikes. Actually, It is under rated. Overall it is in good package with great price tag. Mileage was also as per my requirement. Pros- bike handling is superb. Engine performance is awesome and AVG is great. Comfortable on good roads. Cons- rear suspension could have been better or softer. Headlight through is not at all good need aux lamp. Horn is like scooty. Daily or occasional touring or commuter, looking for fine engine with great average, at very affordable price. Looking for reliable engine from reliable brand with great network of service centre hassle free bike to enjoy long riding.
