                  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.

                  I recommend for students
                  Stylish and mileage is good. The bike looks are amazing and the bike gives 42kmpl mileage in city. It is e85 compliant so you don't need to worry about fuel cost. Yahama have a good service and you usually get any parts of the bike easily. This bike in highway it's feel like you riding a jet and the bike is so so amazing and in highway it's give you 45-50 mileage and the sites is good and this bike have good in build quality and the bike weight is so light. For college students and works it's good bike have good mileage and low maintenance cost so for college students is good. And I am a college student I have less pocket money but I save money from the pocket money.

                  roller coaster of emotions
                  Seeing this bike for the first time on road was nothing short of fabulous and i decided to buy it, the next day only, my personal experience has a lot of ups and down. - week 1 gear shifting was buttery smooth bus after 500kms it got stiff and rigid - mirrors do not suit the bike at all - very impressive performance - 10/10 road presence - suspension is slightly rigid in city commute - riding posture is a mix of sporty and aggressive - engine feels very smooth yet powerful at the same time overall the experience has been great, if you are looking for a bike for daily commute with a punch of power and occasional long rides, would 100% recommend buying it eyes closed, more importantly if you want a bike that makes you smile when you look at it, go for it.

                  This bike is awesome and stable
                  I choose this bike because of performance and mileage. Everything is perfect in the bike and the look and design is really awesome. It looks like a racer bike. This bike suit me a lot because I am 5.6. The performance of this bike is really awesome. I can play with this bike and this is really awesome for cruising or for racing because it has high performance gears and stability of the bike is awesome. I will recommend this to buy because I get sufficient mileage for city rides and if I want to go to highway, I can get around 36 to 37 which is really nice for long tours and rides. It comes with very less weight.

                  joy ....very bad experience
                  Buying experience not so good, riding comfort is too bad, look is good, performence is not so good, handle bar and rider body in between distance unmatched, this is very uncomfortable for long drive like 40 to 50 km, its make pressure on hand, build quality also bad, a new bike also make noise from the body part.
