                • Cons
                • Bajaj Pulsar N160

                  • Great handling - changes direction quickly, feels stable when leaned too
                  • Riding posture, although a bit sporty, is quite comfortable
                  • One of the few bikes in the 160cc segment to get dual-channel ABS
                  • Powerful and smooth engine

                  Yamaha R15 V4

                  • TFT console is feature packed
                  • Razor-sharp handling like a proper sport bike
                  • VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) makes the engine very tractable at city speeds
                • Bajaj Pulsar N160

                  • Looks very similar to the smaller Pulsar N150
                  • Rear suspension setup feels a bit uncomfortable, especially on sharp bumps

                  Yamaha R15 V4

                  • Aggressive riding posture might not suit everybody
                  • Headlight spread is a bit narrow
                  • Not the most comfortable for pillion riders
                  • The R15M top variant is quite expensive; costs almost the same as some 400cc bikes

                  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.

                  Yamaha r15 v4 is a great fully faired sports bike
                  The reason i chose this bike was quite a story in short, i was a student who was about get in college and i needed a bike to travel a quite moderate distance. When i was searching for a bike which is highly affordable as well as stylish on the looks and has great features too! Then i came across this masterpiece which was totally worth it. The ride is great so far. But there are few factors to look for if a beginner is going to buy this bike, as a fully fair bike the biggest issue would be comfort on long ride eg. Posture issue because of the aggressive stance fully fair bikes usually have. But for the short to moderate distance its great soo far. And handling also good, and mileage is better than expected. One more thing to consider, if someone lives in a crowded city like area they can this as this bike isn't a street fighter or naked body bike for city specific conditions. I would absolutely recommend this bike to even a beginner who want to get a thrilling ride experience of a fully fair bike at price rang as low as this, mileage also great compared to other similar bikes, great handling too, maintenance is also fairly rated i would say, totally worth it!

                  i love this brand and specially this Yamaha r15
                  this is not a bike its a dream of every boys and this r15 is a not a model of Yamaha this is us emotion and the r 15 is a legacy and the main point is this look mileage and the segment killer up to 250cc. mileage good looks is too much good and maintain easily and but the top model like M and monster edition you got a good futuristic display and the graphic of sticker are good and you after sitting this bike you feel like you sit a super bike and i got for my r15 bike 42 to 49 mileage. most recommended i love this brand and there all bike are good and you can afford this bike and good quality and value for money you can buy this beast and enjoy your ride this bike and stay safe all time wear helmet.
