good bike but need some improvements.
The bike is good handling and performance but the mileage is not that good, it gives me 30-35 kmpl mileage. Meanwhile, the other 160 segment bikes give more mileage and it's not that smooth at higher revs, feels too much vibration. Design is good and handling is good but not so comfortable feels pain in back and shoulder after long ride as it's sports bike.

Review of my 6 years old NS160
I got this bike when i was 18 back in 2019, after almost 6 plus years and 30 thousand kilometres. I personally see this bike as the best value for money one can get. Apart from that this bike is still relevant after all these years. The one thing i like the most about this vehicle is its handling. If maintained well this bike gives a smooth and comfortable ride be it in city or highway. Mine is twin disc variant with single channel ABS, break bite is quick enough to react in emergency breaking situations. The only con I have noticed so far is bajaj's parts durability. Though they offer parts at cheaper rates comparatively but still it becomes a headache when you need to replace them more often. Will recommend this bike any day. For me this is a perfect package of commuter, adventure, long riding basically everything. I have done 500 kms in a single day stopped at every 100 kms for nearly 30 mins and the bike performed very well. This is a perfect bike for those who look for a all-rounder bike with low maintenance.

Sporty Look with Smooth Performance
I chose the NS160 because I liked its sporty look and sharp design. I wanted bike that is fun to ride but also safe for city traffic. My cousin had a Bajaj and he said it is easy to maintain. It felt strong, light, and stylish. I thought it would make my rides more enjoyable and smooth. Riding this bike has been fun. The engine is quick and the handling is smooth. I took it on small trips and it feels stable. Brakes respond well. Even in slow traffic it does not feel heavy. The seat is comfy. I feel confident on long and short rides. Every ride feels energetic and safe. I would recommend it to friends who like sporty bikes. It is good for city and short trips. It feels solid and smooth. Easy to handle, looks cool, and fuel use is low. It is reliable and fun. I think many young people will enjoy it for daily riding.

Power with True Control
I chose this one after test riding a few. It felt steadier and better balanced. The engine sound was quieter, and it looked a bit sportier compared to others in my range. Chose it for comfort and upright seating. I’ve done long rides and daily commutes both. No big issue so far. Brakes grip well and the suspension takes bumps nicely. The seat is comfortable even after hours of riding. Feels light and comfortable on traffic roads. I’d recommend it for regular users who want comfort with economy. The looks are decent and it runs strong without frequent repairs or tuning. Ideal for daily city riders. Picked it for its sporty design and grip.

Gliding Beast
I passed my high school with good grades and i turned 18 as well, that is when it all started. A friend of mine recently bought a RS 200 which kind of attracted me. I drove it once and that was it when i realised that this is the bike, the perfect bike for me. See now it's been over 5 years since I've owned this machine. So far, so good. I've drove this bike more than 1 lakh kilometres and trust me, the punch is still there, pretty good mileage of 28-30 km, you would get service centers almost everywhere, the service and parts are affordable and easily accessible. Also the main part is the care and maintenance of the bike, and i still think the bike is absolutely perfect for the next upcoming 10 or maybe 20 years. See if you're someone who wants an all rounder bike, which the parents would also approve, this is the bike. It's a comfortable commuter, not only your ride is comfortable, the passenger, be it my mom, also sits comfortably on the bike. The riding posture and bike design is great, good for long trips and for the streets as well. It delivers great power while saving you thousands of rupees for petrol. Like 30kmps mostly at higher rpms, i can afford that. Say if you choose to drive at low rpms, you could literally cover 45-50 kmps, if you how to drive.
