                  Overall I am totally satisfied by this bike
                  This is the best bike according to my experience as I am a student so I wish a bike by which cost me less fuel and less maintenance also other than this bike fix my requirement and also this bike is in my budget. Ride is very comfortable and as 160 cc bike in delivers the performance us expected. Sometimes it delivers more performance then you expect like the highway experience and the city ride are very comfortable. Yes, I will recommend this bike to the boys of my age who wants the bike in this budget like in this budget. This bike is a perfect bike to go for and I would specially recommend to the boys who go to their colleges.

                  Overall experience
                  N160 is blessing for young riders and also comfortable for the family. It has 164 cc engine, which provides instant acceleration and it gives good mileage around 50 which make it insane for a 160 cc engine segment. Overall experience is good and the cost of the parts of this bike is is also affordable.

                  VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE
                  Service and maintenance charge is normal, mileage is 50 - 55 kmpl on highway, 45-50 kmpl in cities and streets. Overall, it is a quite good bike with good performance and minimal costs. Everyday rides upto hundred kms can be done easily, I ride daily around 80 kms and it is very easy for me and it's a sports bike even with only 125 CC engine.
