                  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.

                  Good Bike for a New Biker
                  I chose the bike For the performance and the advanced features of the it. 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.

                  Hero Xtream 160R
                  Best-in-class power/weight , sharp handling, excellent city commute agility, and decent mileage (40 kmpl).Backed by Hero's huge, low-cost service network for worry-free ownership. I also think that it is the best bike in this segment. City king Its so light and flick able filtering traffic is effortless. This bikes pickup is a genuine thrill and I still get 40 kmpl easily. Minor fuzziness past 95 kmph and the digital console is tough to read in harsh sun. Best fun commuter buy. I recommend it because its the best value for daily riders. It has the fastest city acceleration in its class and doesn't compromise on mileage it has a decent mileage with 40 kmpl . Plus Hero's service is cheap and parts are easily available.
