                  "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.

                  N160 is a great bike of it’s segment.
                  One of my friend bought this motorcycle and I tried it after riding the bike i felt too much smooth as a 160cc bike and the looks are killer compared to any other 160cc motorcycle present in india till date. I recommend this bike to all the beginners as the maintenance cost is very low and its easy to handle specially the newest model with the USD forks. Till now I have completed 20,000 plus kilometres, I have ride this bike to every possible terrain present in kolkata in fact out of kolkata. I have ride this bike in mountains as well with a loads of luggage and still the bike was capable to climb the mountains. I have done off roads and it is capable of off roads a bit Positive points. Mileage is very nice if you ride in economy approx 60 kilometre per litre Maintenance is very cheap Sufficient power to carry people and luggage with a pillion still can cross 120 kilometre per hour. Yes I would recommend this bike specially to the youth as this bike have good looks and its budget friendly, and it have a good mileage of 60 km on highway and 45 in city and the maintenance which is very low

                  Nice machine, but could have been better overall.
                  Main reason to choose this bike was it's agressive & unique look and features it offer. I had another option of NS but it's quite common so i chose N160. I went for looks without taking test drive. It's my 1st bike and I was new driver back then so it's okay for me to make mistakes. Later I found there are other options which are providing more in same price. Pros.. great pickup, nice suspension, comfortable posture, decent mileage, headlamp visibility is outstanding, pillion comfort is also decent. Offers navigation which is quite usefull. Cons.. after sales service as you know it's bajaj you expect anything from them, in the name of cost cutting lot of parts have very low build quality battery, chain sprocket and set, side panels could have been better. Very nimble and light weight, easy and fun to ride machine. Can ride it for small-medium length roots with comfort. Great commuter with excellent pick up and power delivery. Low end torque is nice. Good ground clearance so no problem even on sturdy roads. It will take a lot of time to maintain but if you keep it clean, chain lubed properly, engine checked up time to time then it will be the best version of it. Service is recommended every 6 months but my suggestion is do it every 3 or 3.5 months, which makes it a little expensive.

                  My dream bike when it launched
                  The bike is so good i preferred because it is in my budget This sounds so good performance is also good according to me in this price segment comfort is also good but seat cushion is not at all good that's it Ride is good so smooth ride according to me i feel comfortable while riding the posture is good i had ridden almost 20 k km and the ride quality is awesome i travel 700 km constantly it feels comfortable Yes, ofcourse you should buy this bike because in this segment no one is providing this much power in this price range i definitely recommend everyone to look at this machine the power is also good enough for new riders or college going students

                  A perfect bike.
                  A tough build quality with a massive mileage. This bike is budget friendly as it has a low price, consume less cost for maintainance and gives a very impressive mileage which makes this bike one of the best. So far, the ride was very smooth and comfortable. I was a little disappointed with the suspension which should have been more better. Overall this bike is perfect for small families and for the middle class family Yes, I totally recommend this bike to everyone, either if you have a low budget or high budget. But, middle class family should aim at this bike as it has compatibility, durability and mileage, which makes it a perfect choice

                  Unmatched Mileage and Reliability
                  I needed a commuter bike for long-term reliability, and Splendor Plus was a natural option. I researched reviews online and spoke with existing owners. Everyone highlighted its unmatched mileage, which convinced me. The Splendor Plus shines in city traffic with light handling and great fuel efficiency. I usually get 65 kmpl. On highways, it feels limited at 80 kmph. After-sales service is accessible almost everywhere and very affordable. I suggest this bike to anyone who prioritizes durability and resale value. It is definitely designed for commuters and riders in the countryside. However,if you are looking for the thrill factor or tour capability or premium looks you will likely be disappointed.

                  First Bike with Proven Durability
                  Splendor Plus was my first bike purchase, and I wanted something I wouldn’t regret. During research, I saw hundreds of owners praising its durability. The test ride was comfortable, and that finalized my choice over other 100cc options. I enjoy riding the Splendor Plus daily as it’s very practical. The seat is long and comfortable, mileage is amazing, and it requires minimal maintenance. At higher speeds, vibrations can be felt. Hero service is reliable and budget-friendly. Splendor Plus is great for office workers, college students, and middle-aged riders who just need a dependable commuter. But it won’t satisfy those who expect sporty looks, high top speed, or advanced technology.

                  Rugged Build and Great Mileage
                  I wanted a simple, fuss-free commuter for my village-to-town travel. Splendor Plus offered excellent mileage and strong build quality. I also checked the Bajaj Platina, but the wide service network of Hero influenced my choice. The riding experience is hassle-free. It gives me more than 60 kmpl regularly, which makes it economical. The bike is very light, which is good for city use. Negatives: limited top speed and basic features. Hero service is cheap and convenient. I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone who values efficiency, resale, and Hero’s service network. It’s perfect for regular city commutes. People wanting high speeds, power, or stylish looks should skip it.
