                  Good bike!
                  Bajaj service is really good and pocket friendly. The bike gives excellent mileage of around 43-47 kmpl easily. It has good comfort for highway as well as city rides. Abs works really well during rains, handling is very good, gearbox is smooth. Its bajaj so the engine is very refined. Its very good for a first vehicle.

                  Totally worth for money .
                  Over and all Hero is a good choice for me my whole family have a Bikes of hero. They keep the basic things in mind and make a bike which I feel a a good for a rider. I would be very thankful to Hero for the bike they have made special for 160. I did a ride to Nagpur to ladakh and it was like a 160 cc bike cant do that but unfortunately I did . It was like impossible to possible. The whole credit goes to Hero how bike has been designed and the speed mileage . It feels like no problem even the off-roading also feel like I am sitting in a 4-5 Lakhs bike. Heads off to Hero again. Yes absolutely this bike is like a heaven for middle class people the style, the looks and many more totally worth for the value of the bike. I would always recommend this bike for everyone. There is no negative point first of all . And yeah I would love to express more but yeah that's all for now.

The most favourite part is of it's look and the LED light Of course it has good mileage per 1L fuel and also it has comfortable weight for a beginner Pros are- The most favourite part is of it's look and the LED light Of course it has good mileage per 1L fuel and also it has a comfortable weight for a beginner to ride ....... Cons- Seat could be more comfortable. Digital Meter could be more advanced like others. Of course I will recommend one to buy this bike.... Mostly everyone can buy but it will be a good suggestion for a beginner who wants a New Bike. I don't know about the long ride for travelling but in a mid range upto 100-150kms rides it's an excellent choice.
