                  Worth considering in it's segment
                  Honestly, I wanted to buy the Speed 400, but it was too costly for me. So I did some research and found this bike, which offers better mileage and lower maintenance costs. Plus, no other bike in this price segment was offering dual-channel ABS, and I really liked its minimalist design. I have ridden around 9,980 km so far and I wouldn't say the ride is the best because it has a low handlebar, so you may experience back pain after some time. However, this can be solved by installing a handlebar riser. I have ridden around 9,980 km so far and I'm happy with the bike overall. After reaching around 95 kmph, it starts vibrating and you can feel it clearly. Since it has low torque, overall it is more suitable for city rides. It totally depends on your use case. I wanted the bike mainly for city rides and occasional touring. If Bajaj solves the stance issue, it would be a perfect bike. I don't have any complaints about the mileage or the vibrations after 95 to 100 kmph, as this is expected from a 160cc bike. Overall, I would recommend it, but make sure to take a test ride first.

                  Pulsar N160 - Amazing machine
                  I will give you my honest review about Pulsar N160. Since it's launch the Pulsar N series has been turning heads. The reason for selecting Pulsar N160 was it's performance, mileage and thrill of riding a pulsar. My maximum usage was in cities so I turned towards N160 as it provides good low end torque for cities and is fuel efficient along with the amazing exhaust sound and looks. Now coming to the ride quality of the bike, this bike feels very fun to ride. You can easily filter the traffic in cities as the weight is manageable.The highway performance of the bike is also commendable.We can cruise comfortable at 80-90 km/h without stressing the engine too much. The Pulsar N series is known for their punchy engines and smoothness.There are almost no vibrations and the ride feels smooth. As it is a two valve engine it has great low end torque which helps me for quick acceleration.Talking about the braking, it is mind-blowing.The dual-channel ABS helps in panic braking and the front brake bite is great. So you can quickly reach speeds of 70-80 and also can slow down from that speed quite efficiently thanks to it's amazing braking. I am getting mileage of around 45-50 which is good for a 160cc bike. The looks of this bike is very attractive. The exhaust sound is a melody to the ears and it is a head-turner on streets and you will get compliments from people. So overall if you are looking for a sporty 160cc bike with good mileage, reliability and performance then N160 is one of the best option in the Indian market. This bike will not disappoint you. I hope my review will help you to choose your perfect ride, Thanks.

                  "Pulsar- Tiny body, Massive Power"
                  First of all I chose this bike because from the beginning I heard one name a lot, that is pulsar. So on a random Day I entered the Bajaj showroom and told them what is the latest one. They show me the All new Bajaj Pulsar N160 with Dual Channel Abs system and USD suspension. To be honest. I rode the bike around 500 km since my purchasing and till now it is a very good experience as I expected when I was a Kid. The Aerodynamic design, front look and the stock bassy exhaust attracts me the most. Now talking about the negative things like the meter of the bike, Bajaj should bring back there iconic semi-digital meter which was there signature thing and the second thing is seat comfort. I will recommend everyone pulsar lover to buy the N series particularly because you will not get the combination of power, fuel efficiency and looks in any other bike. You should first experience the power and thrill of N160, then decide.

                  You need best performance
                  Best comfort and best for family and youngster, good performance and looks, easy to ride best top end and maintenance cost is low. Parts price is cheap good for off road and best 125 cc. I ride 200 non stop and no problem. I owned this bike no engine problem in 2 years, best for collage. This bike is good nice handling and best performance and comfort. I did not start for 2 months but one self bike start easy cold start. One thing bike too heavy. Best performance compare to other bikes, but no better features and better mileage. Bike is too heavy compare to other 125 cc,if you need best mileage to other company and you need performance this is better option.

                  GREAT BIKE, AFFORDABLE
                  I have chosen this bike because of its mileage and cost, in this price range this is the best bike i could get which is useful for m daily commute from home to college and casual rides with friends on weekends on the highway. My ride experience so far on this bike. The riding position and the comfort of the pillion is also great. the mileage i am getting is so close to the claimed mileage by the company, when i go above speed of 70 the milage drops. This bike is more suitable for students who are having less budget but want a stylish bike with great features, This is great for beginners who are planning to buy a street naked bike, people who are short height are not advised to get this bike as few people might face problems.

                  A good looking and sporty bike
                  Because of it's looks and performance and the price range. And I personally liked it's looks and performance and a bike for any youngsters and for my son who is going to college he also likes this bike. I personally don't have any major issue but I don't liked the braking performance but sitting posture is very comfortable and I liked the engine performance it's more than any other bikes in segment.. Yes, but if you are looking for a bike with good mileage and family friendly bike it's not a good option, it's for youngsters and people who are looking for a sporty looking & performance bike.this is a good bike for its price.
