      Good bike for youngsters
      Good handling and medium breaking, medium performance for short time city and highway riding, good sharp stylish looking naked bike, good road presence, low service charge with medium mileage 30 to 40 kmpl. Long ride comfort is not good after 100km. Wrist pain and shoulder pain, good handling bike. It's give you confidence to flicker very easily. Front break is good stopping power but too much abs kicking problem, rear brake is not good, no stopping power. Top speed after 2nd service 124 highest, mileage not that good 40 km after simple riding. If you ride aggressively, mileage can drop upto 30-25 kmpl. Can recommend this bike to the youngsters who go to college and those who want to explore many places on bike. Short time riding and some time aggressive riding and those who want naked sports bike in low cc and low service charge bike, this is good for them.

      Excellent bike
      My pulsar NS 160 is still in excellent condition with all documents and riding experience is awesome and bike is also fast and reliable. It also offers dual channel Abs and it has less maintenance cost and it gives immense pleasure to ride. Bike mileage is about 40 kmpl and full tank costs nearly 1k only and this is the best bike, I have ever rode in my life.

      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.

      The Bike condition is extremely
      The bike condition is extremely new. This bike is only for riding enthusiast who need adrenaline punch once the accelerate. The bike power delivery is best in its segment and its bs4 200cc engine which allows you to push till your limits now bs6 engine is limited with rpm limiter but this engine will give you exact fun to drive pleasure. Maintenance cost is also good as per size and cc of this bike. Easy to maintain, easily parts are available.

      Bajaj rs200
      Bajaj pulsar RS 200 was one of classic edition. It give so smooth and good mileage. The sound of bike was as similar to RC 200 also the look was so glassy and clear cut. Most of people like the gray and dark edition. The specific feature like ABS and projector lights of bike give more advantage for bike. And this makes everyone looks so deep on buying and handel the RS 200 However as same as positive on bike have a negative side. Its cause some heating issues and noise trouble. All surrounded with plastic and carbon so we have to maintain careful. A good rider will look after his bike always. Thank you
